You were a kid once. What was your fave Saturday cartoon growing up?

[Faygo Kid]

It's tough. Mighty Mouse was the first; Bugs is still a hero. I am older than your average bear, though, and a Charter Member of the Huckleberry Hound Fan Club (1959). ("She is lost and gone forever, and her shoes, are number niinnne!"). Daughter's Saturday favorites were Smurfs and My Little Pony. How about sharing yours?

[Fox Mulder]

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The original show...not the new one that's out today.

[Reverend_Smitty]

44. ditto

I loved me some ninja turtles!

[fizzgig]

45. oh hells yeah

i loved me some turtles

[Dr Fate]

2. Superfriends, Space Ghost, Godzilla, Johnny Quest, Bugs Bunny hour.

Spiderman-Hulk Hour, Tarzan, Fat Albert.

I STILL love those old cartoons.

[terrya]

3. Bugs Bunny. But Jonny Quest is a close second.

[long_green]

93. wow. are you sure you're not me?

nm

[blue neen]

4. Beany and Cecil

"Ya-ah-ah, Dishonest John!" :)

[redwitch]

19. "I'm comin' Beanie boy!"

I loved that seasick sea serpent!

Also a big fan of Rockie and Bullwinkle.

:hi:

[txwhitedove]

34. "Help, Cecil, help!!!

My favorite, too.  I liked the world maps and the island of
"No Bikini Atoll".

[seemunkee]

62. Yes. I still have my talking Beanie doll

Although he's kind of old now and just mumbles. I had a Cecil doll, a Beanie copter hat and the Jumping Dishonest John game.
Loved that show.

[Maccagirl]

99. Remember when Cecil would dive into a version

of "Ragmop?" Those were the days!

[seemunkee]

102. Oh yeah, and Jack the Knife

Go-Man Van Gogh

[txwhitedove]

101. The Leakin' Lena...

was their boat.  Can you still get copies of those shows??

[puerco-bellies]

107. A Bob Clampett Cartooooon!

Beanie and Cecil, Bugs Bunny, Jonny Quest.

[yellowdogintexas]

5. Mighty Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Beany & Cecil definitely

I loved the Huck too.

[SeattleGirl]

18. Hey, those are mine too!

Loved those 'toons!

Also Yogi and BooBoo, and Rocky and Bullwinkle.

[Xipe Totec]

6. Road Runner and Wiley E Coyote

Loved them!

[Book Lover]

7. Bugs Bunny

No question.

[Faygo Kid]

16. Bugs is the Dem candidate we need now. And here is who he was based upon.

A straight shooter, charismatic, bright and doesn't suffer fools gladly. Bugs in 2008! You all knew who he was based upon, of course. . .

[Sanity Claws]

8. Bugs Bunny

Pepe LePew
Daffy Duck
Sylvester and Tweety Pie
Foghorn Leghorn
The only WB cartoon that I could not get into was the Road Runner. I thought all the Road Runner cartoons were basically the same.

[El Fuego]

9. Bugs Bunny

[voter x]

10. Superfriends, Hong Kong Phooey , Pink Panther

and of course the Scooby Doo Mysteries actually had me convinced vampires were after me....(i was 7)

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. Bugs Bunny

This is a trick question, right? I mean, can there be another answer? :shrug:

[swimboy]

61. Oh, Bwunhiwlda! Youwa so wuv-wy!

I know it! I can't help it!

[NNadir]

12. The Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

Bugs was second place.

[Faygo Kid]

14. Such a superb choice. Do you remember Supercar?

I can't speak to the pungent humor of Rocky and Bullwinkle in terms of the outrageous influence it had on us Boomers. It really did! I also liked Mike Majors and Supercar. Remember that?

[NNadir]

17. I think I saw it a few times, but it wasn't a big one for me.

Rocky and Bullwinkle, if you happen to ever see it again, was very political, subversive really, and that goes even beyond Boris and Natashya.

[Faygo Kid]

21. The very best. Made us Boomers what we are or should be; subversive.

Would post a photo here, but they all seem protected. Someone had to name them; now I am going to find someplace to purchase them; Thanks!

[norml]

35. The Bullwinkle Show was on Sunday, not Saturday mornings

[SethInUpstateNY]

13. Bugs Bunny.

[flvegan]

15. Superfriends and Looney Tunes.

However, when I turned 9, I discovered World Class Wrestling from Texas, and those Von Erichs became my favorite "cartoon" so to speak.

[Brigid]

20. Looney Tunes and Rocky and Bullwinkle

Rocky and Bullwinkle are even funnier to watch as an adult who grew up during the Cold War than they were when I was a kid! :rofl:

[tonekat]

96. Those would be my choices too!

Rocky and Bullwinkle was like a video version of Mad Magazine, and the old Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes had greater depth to them than the newer, flatter style of animation that was appearing in the mid 60s and later.

Oh, but for sheer cheapnezz: Clutch Cargo!

[bigwillq]

22. Smurfs (nt)

[hopein08]

26. I loved the Smurfs!!!

My hotmail address is even daisysmurf08. Unfortunately there was no Smurf named Daisy, right? But my friends and I got confused when I picked it! Oh well.

Anyway, when I was little I used to sing the song from the Christmas special to myself when I woke up with from a bad dream. It always put me right back to sleep.

Remember...

"The goodness makes the badness go away. When there's goodness in your heart, the badness cannot start. The goodness makes the badness go away."

[samplegirl]

23. These two for sure

[Faygo Kid]

24. Thufferin' Thuccotash!

[blondeatlast]

25. Quick Draw McGraw and Friends. Clearly I am of another generation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_Draw_McGraw

[Faygo Kid]

29. No, you are with friends. El Kabong! Augie Doggy and Doggie Daddy!

And of course Baba Looie, who always backed Queek Straw. You are merely a youngster (OK, wishful thinking). Young at heart? You bet.

[smokey nj]

27. Hong Kong Fooey!!!

:bounce:

[sendero]

28. The Rocky/Bullwinkle/Tom Slick/Fractured Fairy Tales/Peabody..

... Jay Ward extravaganza. It's all priceless!

[kwassa]

74. I've been to the Bullwinkle Museum in Hollywood!

Best Cartoon Show Ever!

[samplegirl]

30. I think everybody loved these guys

[Kool Kitty]

42. Oh, I loved Top Cat.

I even loved the theme song. Theme songs for the old cartoons were great. Quick Draw McGraw, Mighty Mouse, Huckleberry Hound, Tennessee Tuxedo, all great. I also liked the Pixie and Dixie cartoons, with Jinx the Cat who "hated meeses to pieces". Now I want to watch them all over again. My most recent favorite (but not too recent) was the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons.

[samplegirl]

59. The kids today sure don't have

cartoons we had thats for sure.

[marigold20]

31. For me, Mighty Mouse, then with my kids, Eek! the Cat

"It never hurts to help." "When will the hurting stop?" These two lines never fail to crack us up.

[DawgHouse]

32. Definitely Johnny Quest!

[swimboy]

40. Oh, yeah! Black turtleneck, PF Flyers and a JetPack!

[tuvor]

33. Batfink

"Your bullets cannot harm me! My wings are like a shield of steel!"

Plus, they had the villain with the coolest name: Hugo A-Go-go.

[Nikia]

36. Aside from others mentioned:Gummy Bears

Bouncing here and there everywhere.
I also liked Bugs Bunny and Smurfs.

[Blue_In_AK]

37. Rocky & Bullwinkle; Beany & Cecil

[Mutley]

38. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out for me...

[Ivan Sputnik]

39. Jetsons

I thought I would be living in their world when I grew up. I also liked the Flintstones, Jonny Quest, Rocky & Bullwinkle, and Topcat

[Heidi]

50. I _loved_ The Jetsons!

:thumbsup:

[swimboy]

41. CBS Cartooniverse: Shazzan! with Jonny Quest and Bugs Bunny

the timeless classic.

It's ring time, Sis!

43. when I was growing up we only got cartoons if we drew them ourselves....

On a rock.

[Solon]

46. VOLTRON!!!!! nuff said. n/t

[tjdee]

105. Volton was the first thing I put in my diary as a little girl.

I was seriously in love with Keith LOL.
Voltron was awesome. And not that dumb Voltron 2000 or whatever.

[DontBlameMe]

47. Space Giants!!!

Not really a cartoon, but...Goldar!

[Rowdyboy]

48. Popeye, Bullwinkle and Underdog....in that order

[u4ic]

49. Bugs, Scooby Doo, The Pink Panther

pre-school, add Tom and Jerry as well.

[pitohui]

[u4ic]

52. Does anyone remember

a cartoon about the early days of America? I don't recall too much, but I remember some of it being set in Philadelphia. :shrug:

It would have been the early 1970's.

[u4ic]

53. Oooh, I forgot 'Wait Till Your Father Gets Home'!

:bounce:

[Broken_Hero]

54. easy question...:)

superfriends...followed closely by He-Man, Transformers, Gi Joe, and Silverhawks...:)

[pokerfan]

55. moose and squirrel

[reyd reid reed]

56. I liked different ones at different times

Wally-Gator. Penelope Pitstop. Mighty Mouse, of course. Yogi Bear. Bugs Bunny. And I'm not sure if it was ever on on Saturdays, but I LOVED Pink Panther.

[KitchenWitch]

63. Super friends

[Wetzelbill]

85. oh yeah, Superfriends was the tits!

[noonwitch]

64. Bugs Bunny, but I did like the Rick Springfield cartoon that one season

The animation was similar to the Archies and the Brady kids. It was called Magic Mission or something like that.

[annonymous]

65. Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and Scooby-Doo

Bugs Bunny is my favorite Looney Tune character, followed by Tweety Bird and Roadrunner.

[BlueIris]

66. Garfield and Friends, all the way.

[MissMillie]

67. Captain Caveman!

:silly:

[NewWaveChick1981]

68. OMG, there are tons of cartoons that I loved!

Secret Squirrel---Mom ordered a felt Secret Squirrel hat for me when I was two, and I remember running around in that thing and thinking I was hot stuff! :) It had the eye holes and everything! Little Sis had to be Morocco Mole, and she didn't care too much either way. :)

Mighty Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Quick-Draw McGraw, Yogi Bear, Magilla Gorilla, Top Cat, The Archies, Woody Woodpecker, The Jetsons, The Flintstones, Pebbles and Bam-Bam, Snagglepuss, Lippy the Lion and Har-De-Har-Har, Huckleberry Hound, Penelope Pitstop, and many, many more!

Interesting note: I wrote to CBS' In The News (ok, who remembers that? :) ) when the war was going on in Cyprus (1974) and asked how the kids were doing in that war-torn country. (I was 11.) I got a call one afternoon after school from Charles Kuralt's secretary telling me they'd chosen my question to do on one of their segments. Mom was skeptical and called them back, and then she was thrilled to find out they were not joking! The segment aired one Saturday during The Partridge Family 2200 AD (yeah, the Partridges meet the Jetsons :P ), and all of my friends saw it. That was before VCRs, so I couldn't tape it, but man, I was a minor celebrity at school! :D Charles Kuralt read my question and then said, "Well, Julie, we are pleased to report that the children on Cyprus are faring pretty well. (etc., etc., etc.)." :D

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

69. Dungeons and Dragons

I'm slowly making my way through the DVDs, and hopefully the time the 'Requiem Project' will be completed in the not too distant future (a final episode was written but never made, so fans are doing it). Other favorite were Thundercats, Muppet Babies, Captain Planet, The Real Ghostbusters, Spiderman and his Amazing Friends & The California Raisins.

[Qanisqineq]

77. me too, me too!

there are so few people I know that even remember that one. By far my favorite, with honorable mention going to the Smurfs and The Littles. I'm sure there were other favorites but I can't think of them at the moment.

[DixieBlue]

70. The Snorks ...

Gotta love the Snorks.

[Spaceman Spiff]

71. Land of the Lost!!

Okay, it's not a cartoon, but hell yeah!

[Mikimouse]

75. Ruff and Reddy...n/t

[Sequoia]

76. Casper and Johnny Quest

and the Warner Bros. cartoons.

[RedStateShame]

78. "Fat Albert"

Say what you will about Bill Cosby, that show had the greatest theme song, and the animation was really nice, and if I didn't watch out, I'd learn something too.

HEY! HEY! HEY!

[Roon]

79. Star Trek!!

[Faygo Kid]

80. Ya know, that wasn't half bad. At all.

It was no Ambiguously Gay Duo, but it was a better cartoon than we had a right to expect. Fascinating.

[maveric]

81. Rocky and Bullwinkle and The Beatles cartoon show.

I still love R&B.

[Metta]

82. Winky Dink. I liked helping him out in his adventures.

Drawing on the tv was a big plus, too which we did until we got the plastic screen.

[Robeson]

84. Jetsons, Bugs Bunny, Johnny Quest, Woody Woodpecker.

Pink Panther
Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids

All others can bow down.

[Montauk6]

92. Thunderbirds. Jonny Quest. Davey and Goliath.

94. Milton the Monster...

On top of old horror hill in a secret laboratory,
Professor Weirdo and Count Kook were in their monstrous glory.

Six drops of the essence of terror, Five drops of sinister sauce,
When the stirring's done may I lick the spoon?
Of course ha ha of course.
Now for the tincture of tenderness, But I must use only a touch,
For without a touch of tenderness, He might destroy me!
(Professor Weirdo, bumped) Whoops too much.
(Prof) "Better hold your breath it's starting to tick:
(Count Kook) Better hold my hand I'm feeling sick -
(Milton) Hello Dad!
(Prof) What have I done?
(M.) I'm Milton, Your brand new son!

[gkdmaths]

109. I seem to remember D&D being a short-lived

cartoon, or at least it lived untill I hit puberty and talking to girls on the phone took priority over animation as a form of leisure as a smelly doofus kid.

I loved D&D then, and still do. Sunday night D&D rocks!
