I remember looking forward to getting up early every saturday morning to watch hours of cartoons.....I mean the old classics ....not that crap my kids had to watch as kids. Aside from the given...the Looney Tunes Classics....which thanx to the cartoon network are still around. The Beanie and Cecil Hour....who remembers this one ? The Tennessee Tuxedo Show (Don Adams was the voice of Tennessee) Tudor the Turtle and Mr. Wizard Underdog (Wally Cox was the voice of Underdog)..and his "Lois Lane" equivient..Pure Polly Purebred.......there was also a sub series with Underdog called.....Go-Go Gorphers... The Rocky and Bullwinkle show.....which had a list of extras..like Grimm's Fractured Fairy Tales.......Sherman and Peabody There are so many that I vaguely remember but can't remmber which shows they were a part of...like Snaggle Puss...which I think wa part of the Pink Panther Show and of course can't forget about ...Jonny Quest
Man I remember all them cartoons these bring back some good memories you have to be in your mid forties but I don't remember The Beanie and Cecil Hour.Anyways take it easy.
Beanie and Cecil....were drawn puppets...Cecil was a sea-monster type dinosaur(friendly) and Beanie was a little boy with a prop on top of his beanie cap Damn I forgot one of my favorites....Quick Draw McDraw and his side kick Boba-louie
Casper, the friendly ghost! See, ghosts don't need to be scary and it's ok to believe in things that most people can't see and science can't prove. Good anti-brainwashing! Rocky & his Fiends, I mean Friends! I liked Boris & Natasha. They were cool European Goth! LOL! How about Yogi Bear? He claimed to be "smarter than the average bear". Yeah right! Here's a good one: Diver Dan! What was his friends name? Finver? And what was the Barracuda's name? Sorta like Finding Nemo, but very retro! Oh it wasn't a cartoon though, more like string puppets. Shari Lewis & Lamb Chops, also not cartoons, but definately good fare.
Snaggle Puss was the best,,,, and wally gator,, the hippo hurricane holler and well everything hana barbera,,,, I cant even let my daughter watch some of the cartoons that are on now,,omg its disgusting how violent theyve gotten
lol snorks, not snorkels hee hee, ya the weird guys under the water with a tube coming outta their head. he had a Octopus kinda dof pet thing... I cant rememebr the antagonist of that show though who was the bad guy? thinking hard for saturday cartoons now hummm: ghostbusters of course Scooby doo!!!! gi joe? TRANSFORMERS!!!!! Go-Bots charlie brown Garfield and odie captian planet M.A.S.K She-ra My little pony thundercats tom and jerry !!!!LAND OF THE LOST!!! I liked that one I dunno why JEM (female rockers!!!) Punky brewster Gumby Fat albert GUMMI BEARS!!!!! smurfs alf chipmunks pop eye.. I'm sure theres more lol Mike..
I think these 4 show hosts were out of Philly Sally Star, Pixan, Gene London & Happy the Clown. I was way to old for Romper Room. My favorite cartoons were Winky Dink an Felix the Cat.
how far back ya want me to go? i'm not sure if saturday morning enshrinement of animation itself goes back as far as i do. but i remember captain sacto having rocky and bullwinkle and also something i've never seen or heard of anywhere else since, which considering how i felt about it is probably just as well, called crusader rabbit. at any rate i do remember yogi and bobo being new. i actualy remember hanna-barbara being a major upgrade over loony toons and disney, which i seem to recall was just about all there was before hanna-barbara came along. then i remember the era when they were first being surpassed and starting to fall by the wayside. when japan and canada picked up the gauntlet and started giving us the even better, or mostly so. we still never get the best of the best from either here in the u.s. cause of certain cultural hangups the u.s. has there was some kind of super dog or wonder dog or something like that. along with augi-doggi and doggi daddy. this was before the super dog with the shoe, that was kind of both his security blanket and the 'secret of his super powers'. top cat was one of my favorite of the late hanna-barbara/early nelvana transition era. well into the dic/nelvana era there was dynosaucers. there was something sheman and the masters of the universe replaced that was way better of them. it may have been called dark star. but there's a campy live action skiffy short by that name too so that might not have been it. come to think of it, when i was little saturday morning i tended to sleep in so that may be why i don't remember much about the ones in the 50s except that one on captain sacto that i kind of hated. oh good lord, gumby, i'd forgotten that till i saw it mentioned here. pioneering claymation by understatement of noncomplexity. i actualy liked that one a lot. =^^= .../\...
ahhhhhhhhh claymation = Davey and Goliath I rarely watched toons but remember a few. Touche Turtle, Top Cat, Clutch Cargo. I guess I remember some of these because of my younger bro. Speed Racer & Kimba.
gawd I had forgotten about Davey and Goliath....my younger brothers watched it...I never was a big religion fan...so the appeal for that show just wasn't there.
Omg Does anuyone else remember when the jackson five was a cartoon??? O ya and nobody said fat Albert ???
I remember Crusader Rabbit, he sucked. Hanna Barbera actually made some superior cartoons when they worked for MGM, then they cheapened out with Tom Cat, Ruff n Ready, et al. The animation was really 2nd rate in those shows. I think Rocky and Bullwinkle used to get into trouble for being too political. The movie released awhile ago was really good, I thought. (Watch me pull a rabbit outa my hat.) Beanie and Cecil was a Bob Clamp..ette Cartoooonnnn! He did some B. Bunny cartoons for Warner Bros. originally. Apparently B&S was started by him as a local puppet show. http://www.toonopedia.com/beany.htm Let's go into the old WayBack Machine as ah....Mr. Peabody the dog would do with what's his face the kid. How bout ... WB's Merry Melodies with Bosco? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_Tunes_&_Merrie_Melodies_filmography Tom Terrific and Manfred the Wonder Dog with Crabby Appleton by TerryTone? This was a weekly five part cartoon on Capt. Kangaroo http://www.toonopedia.com/terrific.htm Krazy Kat and Ignatz Mouse? Krazy was in love with Ignatz, Ignatz would throw bricks at Krazy. http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/page.cgi/sh/animation/kkat_2 Felix the Cat (the non talking and Magic Bag versions)? Felix was the first image ever broadcast by TV (actually narrowcast) in 1928. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_the_Cat 1940's Popeye the Sailor by Fleischer Studios...superior, timeless...then Famous studos ruined him.
Wow! I forgot about Koko the Clown...Another great Max Fleischer cartoon! http://www.answers.com/topic/koko-the-clown
