What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?

[Shell Beau]

I loved Looney Tunes, Flinstones, Popeye, Smurfs, Fraggle Rock, and so many more. I'll remember more.

[BroadwayBrat]

1. Fraggle Rock, Smurfs, Snorks, Jem, Voltron, Hello Kitty to name a few.....

[Archae]

5. 80's brat?

:-)

[BroadwayBrat]

26. And Proud Of It!!!

[Shell Beau]

6. I forgot about Jem and the Misfits!

[tk2kewl]

2. Looney Tunes

particularly ones with Bugs and Daffy together

[Archae]

3. Johnny Quest

1960's.

And SPAAAAAAAACE GHOOOOOOOOST! :-)

[UncleSepp]

4. Stop the Pigeon!

It was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon with Muttley the Dog in it. The plots were all the same - funny bad guys trying to stop a WW1 carrier pigeon.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. My dad and I used to laugh our asses off at that one

I even had coloring books, reading books, and the board game! I would love to see one of them again. I've never, ever seen that cartoon in reruns at any time in my life, even though every other frickin' cartoon ever made has been in reruns.

[UncleSepp]

27. I think the two of us were half the viewing audience ;-)

I swear, nobody EVER knows that cartoon!

[Shell Beau]

28. I don't! Is it an older cartoon?

[UncleSepp]

32. Yep, early 1970s.

Same era with Dudley Do-Right.

[Shell Beau]

34. Ah! That is why I am unfamiliar with it. I wasn't born until 78!

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. I've found very few who ever saw it

People know Muttley from his later Saturday morning show...

but no one knows the pigeon.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

41. I've seen it in Boomerang in Brazil. Wacky Races too. (nt)

[Pendrench]

52. Wacky Races - wow!

I remember that - do you remember the spin-off, "The Perils of Penelope Pitstop"? I forget the name of the villain (I think it was "The Hooded Claw" or something like that)- but Paul Lynde did the voice...it was great!

The funniest thing I ever saw on that show was on time The Anthill Mob (also from the Wacky Races) were pretending to act out Snow White, and the leader said (in an Edward G. Robinson voice) "Alright you mugs, act like dwarfs!"

Those were the days....

[Burma Jones]

7. Rocky and Bullwinkle

[noonwitch]

20. Me too-I still love it.

Like "The Simpsons", Rocky and Bullwinkle was written for both kids and adults.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

69. They were my favorites, too

And I'm old enough to have seen them when they were brand new!

[redqueen]

8. Looney Toons, Tom & Jerry, Felix the Cat, Rocky & Bullwinkle

I loved soooo many cartoons... problem was my dad wouldn't let us watch at home, so I'd have to sneak at friends' houses... and they had crap taste (well, to me) so I hated it... when I finally left home I watched cartoons NONSTOP (oh, and the Stooges too) every second I could... it was heavenly. :)

[Lavender Brown]

9. The Pink Panther, The Jetsons, The Smurfs

She-Ra, Care Bears...

[Shell Beau]

17. How could I forget the care bears?

I had a care bear bedspread and curtains. I also loved Strawberry Shortcake!

[Lavender Brown]

19. Oh yes...

I was Strawberry Shortcake for two Halloweens in a row, and had a Strawberry themed birthday party.

[JVS]

10. Scooby Doo!

[Shell Beau]

18. Of course!

[wideopen]

56. I hate to admit it...

but I still watch it w/ the kids most every day.

[Liberalynn]

68. Scooby too

although my favorite cartoon character of all time is Sylvester. Sufferin Sucotash! ;)

[SarahB]

72. Yes!

It almost had a plot! The same one, but a plot nonetheless. :thumbsup:

[TrogL]

11. Speed Racer

[Strawman]

12. Hong Kong Phooey

#1 Superguy

[flamingyouth]

65. Me too!

It's so incredibly politically incorrect in retrospect. :D

It seemed like it was on forever, but apparently they only made six episodes. I loved getting up early on Saturdays to watch it with my dad. :D

[kick-ass-bob]

14. Laff-o-lympics.

I REALLY hated it when the cheaters won.
Just like today.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

39. My group of friends used the 25-15-10 system in the games we played

Be it board games, foossball, whatever.

[Bzzzz]

15. Johnny Quest... n/t

[Shell Beau]

24. What is this Johnny Quest?

[Bzzzz]

58. It was about...

a young boy, his scientist/doctor father, his father's friend 'Race', Johnny's friend, Hajie, and a dog named Bandit. They were always going off on adventures where Johnny, Hajie, and the gang would inevitably get into some sort of troubl or jam.

[lpbk2713]

16. Popeye, Tom & Jerry

Also liked The Little Rascals/Our Gang, but they weren't cartoons.

[ohiosmith]

21. Beany and Cecil

[SnohoDem]

47. Mine too!

I even had a beanie.

[Lumily]

22. Star Blazers

I watched it every afternoon, without fail, my fourth and fifth grade year.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

23. He-Man and Thunder Cats

[Shell Beau]

25. I watched that after school with my brothers!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

37. did they let you watch She-ra?

i got into that as well...hehe

[Shell Beau]

40. Sometimes, but I had her action figure.

And there was an evil dark haired girl, I had that action figure too!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

44. i had tons of Heman and Shera Action Figures too!!!!

I had the playsets as well

[Shell Beau]

49. My brother had a Heman and Skeletor castle.

The Skeletor castle had a microphone attached to it. I used to play with them all of the time. Heman and She-Ra always dated each other when I was in charge!

[Shell Beau]

29. Oh yeah! Forgot one. I am kind of weired out by it now,

but I loved PeeWee's Playhouse.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

30. Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote.

Great god, I can't possibly get enough of seeing Wile E. torture himself.

[meatloaf]

31. Let's see... Kind of a 3 way tie between...

Battle of the Planets aka G-Force aka Gatchaman
Starblazers
Robotech

[sasquatch]

35. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Batman(Early 90's)

Favorite newspaper comic was Calvin and Hobbes though.

[Jessica]

36. Hmmm ...

Jetsons, Smurfs, Captain Planet, Heathcliff, Garfield & Friends, Alvin & the Chipmunks, Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, Jem, Muppet Babies, Snorks.

I think that's it. :D

[Shell Beau]

42. self delete

dupe

[Jessica]

45. Are we old?

I feel like these shows were just on yesterday. I don't know any cartoons anymore! :(

[Shell Beau]

55. Cartoons just aren't what they were. We had smurfs. Kids now

have spongebob! I don't know, maybe we are old!

[Shell Beau]

46. The Chipmunks! How could I forget? Alvin, Simon, Theodore!!

And I loved the Muppet Babies. Why didn't we ever see the nanny's face?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

38. As soon as I acquired consciousness...

...The Impossibles, The Herculoids, Shazzan.

You can make a good estimate of the year I was born from that alone. (And the fact that new American cartoons appeared in Brazil about 2 years after their original release)

[Spider Jerusalem]

43. Speed Racer.

And Danger Mouse.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

48. For me, it was part of the second wave of favorites.

Along with:

Eight Man (with a source of superpower I GUARANTEE you will never appear again in cartoons)
Super President
Cyborg 009 (there's a recent remake, I saw the original)
Those pseudo-animated Marvel superheroes
Spider-Man (better animated than the above)
Rocket Robin Hood

[redqueen]

51. What superpower did Eight Man have?

I love that character just because of the name. :)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

54. It was superspeed only, if I remember right.

What's unusual is the WAY he acquired the superpower.

[redqueen]

62. Well?

More info, please? You've got me all curious... was there a video game based on this character? Googling turns up too much stuff. :(

[redqueen]

50. Cor, DM!

I loved that one, too. :)

[wideopen]

53. Speed Buggy! room-a-zoom-zoom!

and tink and the gang.

[TX-RAT]

57. Foghorn Leghorn

[Shell Beau]

59. What was the cartoon where the super hero stretched. He and

his family were real stretchy. Their arms and legs could stretch all the way out. Anyone remember this one?

Does anyone remember The Littles and Jabber Jaw?

[wideopen]

61. You mean stretch armstrong?

I don't know the littles but I do remember Jabber Jaw. He's still on one of the cartoon channels sometimes.

[Shell Beau]

63. Yeah Stretch Armstrong!

I would have never thought of that. The Littles were little mice or something. I just remember they used spools of thread for seats and match boxes for beds, etc. Jabber Jaws still comes on, huh? Might have to catch it and see if it is what I used to think it was!

[wideopen]

64. I had a stretch armstrong

toy when I was a kid, you could pull on his arms and legs as hard as you wanted and he would stretch but NEVER would break. I finally gave up and cut him open one day to see what the mushy stuff inside of him was.

[Shell Beau]

66. I think I had one too. Mine had wires that poked out of

his arms or legs if you stretched him too far.

[ComerPerro]

60. Transformers

[huskerlaw]

67. She-Ra!!

Also He-Man, The Thundercats, Jem, and The Smurfs.

[mwdem]

70. Mighty Mouse,

and always the wabbit!

[Shell Beau]

71. I've only heard the Fraggles one other time besides my post.

That was a wonderful show. I loved it.

Worries for another day
Let the music play
Down at Fraggle Rock
