to take u back into a bit of a time warp does anyone remember the series the mysterious citys of gold? i managed to get a hold of the first series all 39 episodes, unlike most childhood tv shows this one was actually really really good when i rewatched it. so my question is does anyone know if there was a second series made?

Wish I could help you out there man, but alas I am unable to.
Have you tried searching online for it? That is the only way I know of to find out, unless a fellow HoPper has the answer you seek.

Ohh ohh If that is the series with a huge golden bird type plane type thing, then I know what you're talking about. Pretty darn good memory for only seeing it once!
I really want to find the... umm something about Pirates of Dark Water... I forget the whole name but that was a great series. I never saw the end but man if I could that would be great.

There wasn't a second series made, at least not one that was ever released in English. Like so much in life the true class of Esteban et al., was just too sophisticated for the newer generation.
A decent page about it is here
It even has the theme tune in French.
There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

But we could be wrong....

And all these years I have remebered it as the lost city's of gold. For years I have thought that I was the only person who remembered it. I thought that maybe I had dreamt it. I think I used to watch it before i went swimming every thursday just before Thundercats. V. jealous that you have copies of it ben. As I remember there is only one series.
Poi... it's an obsession.

Ok, I was NOT interested in being JEM or Punky Brewster.
I wanted to be either one of the GI Joe, Thundercats, He-Man, Voltron, Transformers, or SuperFriends characters.
Just for the record.

Gay I might be. But a drag queen I am not. Chest hair and low-cut dresses=bad mix.
