Saturday Morning Cartoons

Did anyone mention Adam Ant, Hillbilly Bears, Droopy, Dudley Do Right ,or Speedy Gonzalez.

 

I loved muppet babies.

 

eee gads, someone else who actualy remembers crusader rabbit and how badly it sucked!!!

captain sacto ...

that was mid 50s! we were living in sacramento and had this sears silvertone black and white all metal that lasted forever untill we wore all the metal off the contacts on the tuner!

i didn't much care for rockey and bulwinkle either with all their streotypical crap. even if they did titter on the verge of satyrizing themselves with it.

i actualy liked top cat. and the idea of the jetsons though i was waaay dissappointed they didn't so much more with it's creative potential.

yogi and flintstones of course have since became cult classics. but augie doggie and some of the other's like that were really pioneering work for their time.

most of those really old ones i don't care for because of their attitudes, typical of the 50s, that i didn't think much of either, like early looney toons.

i DO remember the origeonal popeye.

some of those you mentioned were cross overs from the sunday funnies in the newspaper. and i remember seeing them there.

i didn't much love captain kangaroo either, though i certainly remembet felix the cat.

the name ruff and ready doesn't ring any bells, but might if you refreshed my memory.

but i remember cucla, fran and ollie. not a cartoon but cucla and ollie being like an american punch and judy only cucla i think it was was a dragon, and fran was their human m.c. sort of.

i even remember somehow seeing one eppisode of bill sear's in the park. also paw pets. i don't know how that's possible. i'm guessing that one episode had been taped and it was replayed on something else. but i was too young at the time to understand the details of anything like that.

to be perfectly honest, before hanna barbara i didn't really like what cartoons there were all that much.

they were all kissing the ass of the politics of the mccarthy era, mostly because they really didn't have any other choice if they wanted to be on,
and that really sucked more then anything as far as i was concerned and still am.

it was h-b that really started breaking that mold and things started getting better after that even if, as you say, the pioneers themselves didn't really lead for all that long.

there was disney of course, who managed somehow to go through the motions of kissing the maccarthyism ass and yet still get away occasionaly with slipping something else a little more interesting.

i guess because he managed to become such an institution that even the politicians were hesitant to mess with him too much. something like that.

.../\...

 

i guess you could say i remember augie doggy & doggy daddy

"no fly swatter can harm him, no fly paper can hold him, no insecticide can stop him".

what about "jonny quest?" anyone mention him?

i didn't see any mention of "clutch cargo" either. remember they were cartoons with real mouths? it was so freaky, but one of my favorites.

"Mr. Gillette's Synchro-Vox system was used in Clutch Cargo to combine live-action human lips with animated drawings."​

wow, this toontracker linkpage rocks!

 

Yogi- scooby- Warner bros (bugs, etc), smurfs, etc.

When cartoons were good, and art was involved.

Im sorry. but frame by frame jcheap, dramatic, violent and sexual japanese animation isnt the type of show id like to expose my hypothetical six year old to.

Even japanese animated cartoons for those 5+ years old contain characters with big bouncing breasts and miniskirts.


Where did talent and class go?

 

My favorite Saturday morning cartoon was "Mighty Mouse". Mighty Mouse was a little heroic mouse who could fly; he wore a cape, and had a big "M" emblazened on his chest. The deal was, one of his friends would somehow become involved in some dilemma with a "bad guy" that was life-threatening. Across town sat Mighty Mouse, and he would miraculously become aware of the dire straits his friend was in, and he would come to their rescue and save them. Once he realized the mission that lay before him, he'd jump into his windowsill or something of that nature, and wail,
"Here I come to save the daaaay!!"
Then a chorus would sing, "That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!"
Then he'd jump into the air and fly to the location of the one who was in distress - once he took flight, he'd continue singing, "Here I come to save the daaaay!", etc. Then, he'd land; take care of the bad guy lickety-split, and soothe his friend. I used to love that show! Kind of unreal stuff, but it did deliver a moral message in every show nonetheless. And, my friends today tell me that I'll always stand up for the underdog! Mere coincidence?

Good thread; made me nostalgic...oh, to be a child again.....

Sincere Regards, Michaela

well, thanks for that, Michaela, now i can't get Andy Kaufman outta my mind

 

Right on, augidog! You're almost my age ... did you like Mighty Mouse, too?

 

The muppet babies & the little mermaid.

 

What about Felix the Cat and Deputy Dawg? Dag nabbit!

 

I miss Lambchops!

 

they just have crap now, i loved smurfs, jem and the hollograms, rainbow brite, strawberry shortcake, care bears, they made new ones, but they suck!

 

dam - i remember when cartoons actually used to be hand drawn! and those hanna barbara logos after the show was over lol. fucking yogi bear and the original transformers! that was the fucking 80s!!! i never really thought about how much time actually went by

 

all the warner bros. stuff...bugs bunny and friends.

 

Yeah man, the old cartoons were the best. Just recently, I bought the entire series of the cartoon Dungeons and Dragons, but my other favorites were, Thundercats, Galtar and the Magic Lance, Thundarr the Barbarian, Legion of the Super heros, Tom and Jerry, Heckle and Jeckle, Voltron, and many more I can't remember at the moment... I miss them much... LOL.

 

Street Sharks
Johnny Quest
Rebot
Transformers: Beast Wars
Mighty Max
Sonic
Ren and Stimpy

 

Yeah, Ren and Stimpy were funny, Bevis and Butthead too... but if you want a wierd cartoon, then try Eon Flux.

 

Beast wars
Bobbys world
Life with Louis
Garfield and friends
X-men
Big bad beatlborgs...the list could go on and on

 

Super Chicken. George of the Jungle. Pink Panther.

I always found Porky Pig good for a laugh.
