OT Favorite Saturday Cartoon

[dvegas]

Im a Flintstones guy, but that was not originally a Saturday morning cartoon. The Frantic City episode, "The Buffalo Convention," is CLASSIC ("doctor is a plumber . . .)." The VHS version (RIP) also had "Mother-In-Law's Visit" on it, a double bonus

Saturday am I'll go with Roadrunner, for the sheer amount of violence inflicted on the Coyote. And have to add, what about all the gun violence in Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. No way that flys in todays society (although its never a fatal shootin injury).

Only because it reminds me of our long lost AAC refs...

Not a cartoon, but definitely cartoon-ish ... Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp

This was FABULOUS! A true gem.

now this is a great thread. in real time, and not saturday am viewing, aquateen, harvey birdman, space ghost, and a bunch of other adult swim products, plus duckman, ren and stimpy, family guy (decades long and still going strong!) and so on, were my go to's. but coming from a family 'watching' cartoons forever(betty boop, etc), I saw/see many from the last almost hundred years. johnny quest saturday seems to be a big fond memory for many. so, sat am toonfest? this would be my choice:

I don't know too much aboot movies, or tv shows, but cartoons? (and anime is decidedly not 'cartoons' in the American sense of the word). now we're talking. im thinking it was mostly one way for them, until around the time speed racer, gigantor, astro boy, and etc. changed the game. for better or worse. all-time number one is still family guy for me, but here, have some 12 oz mouse. it ain't quickdraw mcGraw, or gumby and pokie.

'nah, nah, nah, gonna have a good time.' I mean, they tell you in the intro 'you're going to have a good time,' so how can you go wrong watching? sign me up.

and don't forget the cooooolest cat:

So many great ones, led of course by the Warner Brothers stuff. We used to watch Herman and Katnip, Popeye, Top Cat. One of my favorites that hasn't been mentioned is this. Loved the theme song as well, but man, that Go Go Gophers is about as politically incorrect as you could get in the 1960s (not as bad as the portrayal of blacks and Asians in the 40s though).

This was another favorite.

Maybe you missed the irony. The Go Go Gophers only played dumb, in fact their winning streak may be longer than the Road Runner's.

Has anyone mentioned Pink Panther yet? Great stuff.

It wasn't the behavior that was politically incorrect, it was the artwork that was questionable. It's like why Chief Wahoo was more controversial than the Chiefs having an arrowhead on their helmet.

Schoolhouse Rock is without question, the greatest educational cartoon series ever. The Music, art, writing and singing that went into that series is unmatched. Epic

yes, but the thread title speaks to 'Saturday cartoons.' I don't know when 'officially' Saturday cartoons disappeared, but it was a long time ago. too bad, I would have liked to watch the adventures of riley and huey on a Saturday morning, while eating some cereal. sounds like fun.

Agreed, just having fun. I did love watching 3 stooges reruns on Saturday mornings though

The Stooges being on Saturday morning resulted in a resurgence of their popularity in the early 60s. I remember we went to see them when I was about 4 years old. I also remember that kids that watched were hitting each other over the head with hard objects, and it resulted in a bit of controversy.

Yep, ask my brother

 

[M.S.G.]

Not a cartoon, but I was hooked. I didn't understand why the sleestack aliens were there as well

I'm proud to state that I own the entire series boxed set DVD.

Not to mention an outbreak of people getting pulled around by a pair of pliers clamped to their nose.
