OT: Question about an old cartoon

[HuskyNan]

My husband and I ended up talking about old cartoons and I mentioned Wally Gator. It seems to me it was part of either a lineup or rotating show after Ranger Andy. The other cartoons were Clutch Cargo, Gumby, and Yogi Bear. I was very young so the details are kind of fuzzy. Anywho, my husband has never heard of, or maybe doesn’t remember, Wally Gator. Could it have been a regional show? I think it was a Hannah Barbara cartoon(?)

I grew up in Connecticut and he grew up in Indiana and Albany NY.

I grew up in CT as well and I remember Wally Gator too -

I think he was included as part of the Wacky Racers as well.

Lived here in Indiana all my life, and this looks somewhat familiar.
We used to have a couple of local cartoon show hosts, Cowboy Bob and Janie.
But it's been a while ago......

Nobody gave you a like for this?

The one thing that is sad for this generation is they don't get to see quality Saturday morning cartoons.

I remember Wally Gator. He's the swingin' alligator in the swamp.

Wally looks vaguely familiar. The cartoon was in color? Can't be that old. Crusader Rabbit was in black and white, precursor to Rocky and Bullwinkle.

I remember the name and what Wally looked like and nothing else. Per Wiki the show ran from 9-62 to 8-63 with 52 episodes. I was 14 at the time and past the age of that kind of cartoon so I don't know why I recognize Wally Gator. Now I'm in Florida and there is a big ole Gator in the retention pond behind the house but he doesn't wear a hat.

I remember him being on after Ranger Andy, too. Definitely Hannah-Barbera. I think Quickdraw McGraw and Pixie and Dixie, and maybe Snagglepuss were in the rotation on that show.

Speaking of "rangers", anyone remember Ranger Rick? The Ranger Station? I swear it was a TV show that locals could show up and be in the audience. I am pretty sure my brother and I were on the show when we were like 6 or 7. Must have been around 1970?

 

[Vancat]

Ranger Andy. Yeah I was on it too with my brother's cub scout troop. Early 60s.

They must have had a bunch of different rangers. Andy, Rick, I have a postcard from Ranger Jim...
