To celebrate the launch of It’s A Stampede!, every day for the next year I will be presenting a totally informative, yet totally useless fact under the banner heading: ‘On this day in geekdom’.
Yep, that’s 365 facts!
Here’s today’s slice of geekdom…
July 4th – On this day in 1985, The Raccoons arrives on TV screens. The animated series about a group of raccoons living in Evergreen Forest, runs for five seasons and 60 episodes.
More tomorrow…
It's A Stampede!

I still think the Christmas special is a classic! Also, how funny is it that a Canadian cartoon is the 4th of July’s feature? For that, the wife thanks you! Had no idea this is when it debuted, but we both love The Raccoons!

The Raccoons was awesome. In the UK this cartoon was a constant Saturday morning staple on the BBC – it was on ALL the time! The theme tune (especially the end credits tune) is still stuck in my head after all these years.
