While my son was watching some of his cartoons last night, I couldn't help but think about some of the cartoons I used to watch.
My favorite is undoubtedly the old school Bugs Bunny!

Another vote for the classic Warner Bros. always irrepressible Bugs Bunny.

I know the feeling. The new "Looney Tunes Show" is pretty terrible too!

There was nothing like waking up on a Saturday morning, pouring a bowl of Coco-Puffs and tuning in to Roadrunner & Wile E Coyote, Tom & Jerry, Buggs Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Droopy, etc.

Yeah, except for me it was Cheerios with all the sugar I could get away with on them. The only "compliance" back then was my mother's sideways glances making sure I didn't use too much.

Re: Favorite cartoon characters and shows? - 06/30/15 07:40 PM
Kids had to add a ton of sugar to "adult" cereals in order to make them edible. It's no wonder I identified with the Tazmanian Devil cartoons.

Flintstones, most of the Hanna Barbera cartoons, Jetsons, Top Cat, etc.
On a side note, I was looking at a 70's page on FB and someone posted up a pic of the Sleestacks from Land of The Lost as well as a pic of a Squigmond The Sea Monster lunch box, awesome stuff.

Did anyone ever secretly desire to see Wile E. Coyote catch the Road Runner? Just once? Would they admit it if they did?

Re: Favorite cartoon characters and shows? - 07/01/15 02:18 PM

Not just once - all the time. Do you think he ever received any refunds from ACME for defective merchandise?
Posted By: HappyGilmore
Re: Favorite cartoon characters and shows? - 07/01/15 02:31 PM
I thought he caught him a couple of times, but was outwitted and released him...
Posted By: burkemi
Re: Favorite cartoon characters and shows? - 07/01/15 02:44 PM
I think you're right. But does it really count as being caught, if the roadrunner outsmarted him and was released?
Posted By: HappyGilmore
Re: Favorite cartoon characters and shows? - 07/01/15 03:04 PM
yes, it counts...much like when "catch and release" fishing is done...you caught the fish, you just didn't keep it...

Bugs, and the smurfs.
Does anyone else think that our answers give away our ages? 😉

Re: Favorite cartoon characters and shows? - 07/01/15 05:22 PM
I think I'd have to say Bugs Bunny was my favorite, but I think it has more to do with the memories made on Saturday mornings. It was always the one day my mom got to sleep in, so my dad would get up early with me and my brother, pour us some cereal and let us eat it at the little bar/counter we had, and watch Bugs Bunny. It was a really good bonding time with my dad that my brother and I still remember fondly.

Smurfs, Transformers, Gummy Bears. Once Soul Train came on, then we had to shut the TV off and get to our chores.

Saturday mornings, my sister and I would watch our favorite cartoons and then get to our chores so that we were done in time to watch American Bandstand.

Re: Favorite cartoon characters and shows? - 07/01/15 06:16 PM
My kids have no idea what it was like to only have Saturday morning cartoons. I can even remember going down town on special occasions and watching Saturday afternoon cartoons.
During the week there was a 1/2 hour show called Mr. Cartoon. Everyday at 4. It featured the Banana Bunch for w while, then switched to Warner Bros. Popeye, Buggs, etc.

Oh forgot about He-man, my kid brother and I had almost every toy figure they produced for that cartoon between the two of us.

Me too Wolfy! Castle Greyskull and Snake Mountain to boot!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out when I was about 10 or 11, so I didn't watch it as often as I did the older cartoons - but I was a pretty big fan anyway. I still have the original 4 turtles in their packaging. The packages aren't in great shape, but they're still sealed.

Pink Panter.......Rocky and Bullwinkle. I wasn't a real big fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle; I watched the show just for the Mr. Peabody and Sherman segments.
