Barbara: Due to popular demand (or at least really loud demand),
we are listing our five favourite cartoons today. Um, as you will see, my list
is very pathetic and Deb’s is very prolific. Find your ground…
1. thinking…. thinking… thinking…
2. All that comes to mind is Roadrunner. I think that’s because
it was so redundant on Saturday afternoons and it absolutely bugged the crap
out of me. So, no, not exactly a favourite. But it did come to mind first, so…
3. …Oh! I remember really looking forward to watching The Flintstones
when I came home from school for lunch!
4. And I remember they were hard to find, but I loved Casper the
Friendly Ghost…
5. … And the Jetsons.

Who's your favorite PPG? I used to say Buttercup, but Bubbles has grown on me over the years. Never Blossom. She's annoying.
DeleteOh, and far as cartoons as an adult, I've gotta give a nod to Teen Titans. Raven was so cool.

IDK I liked Blossom, But LOOOOVED BUBBLES!!!!!!! and buttercup. IDK Its hard to pick one.
DeleteOhh....and the Laugh-a-lympics were awesome... And Any Hanna Barbera cartoon!
ReplyDelete1. Care Bears; 'nuff said right there I believe.
ReplyDelete2. There was a Saturday morning kind of reel with Garfield, and Garfield and Friends which had Orson the Pig, or sometimes Charlie brown and then the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons. I don't know if it was really the cartoons themselves, or that I watched them with my brother in the rec room on Saturday mornings and that we were allowed to eat breakfast downstairs while we watched...
3. Batman, X-men,Ninja Turtles, and Spiderman (in that order, but for the cartoons only) I have a brother. He is older. He held the remote... and now I have a deep deep love of superheros.
4.Felix the Cat; it was kinda psycho for a kids cartoon, and I just LOVED it. Which worries me now, come to think of it.
5. Last but sooooo not least, The Animaniacs. That show was hilarious, and still is!

Morgan Freeman: the early years!
DeleteThe only one I really enjoyed was the X-men (a cartoon series from the early 90's that I watched with my sons).
ReplyDeleteThe only one I can distinctly remember watching religiously was Sonic the Hedgehog!! :D
ReplyDeleteAnimaniacs

DANGERMOUSE!!!! Sorry, I loved that cartoon so much. I have the entire dvd box set. :P
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest... Willo The Wisp, Dungeons and Dragons, X-Men, and The Simpsons. :)
Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn. Tell us the lesson that we should learn.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv6IWX1_XHQ
So glad Shalaka mentioned Laff a Lympics. I couldn't remember the name!
ReplyDelete1. Laff-a-lympics I was the yogi team, my brother was the scooby team, and my dad was the really rottens. GOD we had fun watching those!
2. Bugs Bunny. I love hearing classical music now and thinking, "Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit!"
3. The Flintstones. What I remember most distinctly now is one of their household items. I forget what it did, but it was a small critter running on a treadmill. The creature shrugged and said, "It's a living." Greg Proops says that during one of his routines, and it's now in my head for all eternity.
4. Scooby-Doo. I always identified with Velma. Still do. :)
5. Phineas and Ferb. I love the platypus.
Aww I was with Yogi and Scooby!
DeleteDawn-
ReplyDeleteYes! Throw in the fact that Greg Proops also knows Rocky Horror and Buckaroo Bonzai. So nice. Niiiiice.
(I was a Hong Kong Cavalier long before I was a Browncoat. ;> )
I think I've mentioned before that I always identified with Velma, too. To me, she is to Scooby Doo what Sabrina was to Charlie's Angels.
caartoons ? lets see thinking back to when i was a kid is getting harder as i get older .
ReplyDelete1: scooby doo
2: top cat ( it might have been called boss cat in the USA )
3: dangermouse. roz would you be english if you don;t mind me asking . i would be surprised to hear dangermouse was shown in the states or Canada . i have now got the theme song going round in my head . was willo the wisp was voiced by Kenneth Williams ?
4: battle of the planets
5: popeye
Nope, it was Top Cat here, too.
DeleteYes, Linda, I'm English, born and bred! :)
DeleteI can't think about Dangermouse without singing the theme tune. :P And, yes, it was Kenneth Williams. I loved those cartoons so much when I was little. At the risk of sounding old, they just don't make them like that anymore!
Shoot!!! I forgot Top Cat!!!! I LOVED HIM...AND THE THEME SONG WAS SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!

Do Disney cartoons count? I used to watch Disney's Robin Hood on a loop as a little girl, because I had the biggest cartoon crush on Robin Hood - still do if I'm totally honest ;-)
(yes, I know it's a fox and I need help...I think it's the voice...)
I'm thrilled you guys are all having so much fun with this one! As you can see, I do not have much to add... I'm the nerd. Too bad Deb is out of town, she may actually have heard of some of these :)
ReplyDeleteI remember LOTS of Saturday morning cartoon-viewing with my dad. I think it was all Bugs Bunny and/or Hanna-Barbera, though. If it wasn't, I don't remember who else was there.
DeleteI know!!! I miss Deb! Hope she reads these when she comes back!
DeleteThis is a hard one for me...
ReplyDeleteThe Flintstones
Rugrats
Bugs Bunny and the rest of the gang
That's all I can think of right now. I was more of a movie watcher than a TV watcher.
I will say that as an adult, one of my favorite cartoons is Frankenhole. It's funny and quirky, which is why I love it.
DeleteI'm just like deb because i like so~ many! This list does not include 1/10 the shows i like. also, i'm not including japanese animated shows like pokemon, yugioh, etc.
ReplyDelete1. American Dad
2. Code Lyoko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJCTzNhYEv4 (link to opening because i'm not sure many of you will not know what it is)
3. Rugrats
4.Family Guy
5.The Wild Thornberrys
I didn't want to repeat what alot of people have said already, so i dug deep into my favorite show memory
(Apart from American Dad and Family Guy most of the shows i picked were my favorite shows as a kid)
Years ago, my son and I would watch Code Lyoko every afternoon!
ReplyDeleteOh boy here we go
ReplyDelete1. Looney Tunes-Bugs Bunny will always be my favorite but loved all the characters, Mel Blanc was genius.
2. Rocky and Bullwinkle- Boris and Natasha what a couple
3. Jetsons-we always teased my brother Joey that he looks like Elroy sometimes I told him he looked like Astro
4. Casper the friendly ghost
5. My kids introduced me to Animaniacs and loved all the characters especially Aunt Slappy and Skippy!
Soooo I was just sitting here finishing watching some tv and trolling around youtube........Holy Blog Video Batman!!!!!! 8) Nothing like a gift at almost 2AM : )
ReplyDeletePS...I assume this will be a topic here soon so feel free to remove this Deb/Barbara if you guys consider this a spoiler! : )
Just sharing my delight.
Ha! That is sooo funny. We'd posted it last week and knew that we were going to publish today, so kept it on private. I changed the settings last night so I could know for sure it was working (youtube hasn't always been reliable for us). I find it hilarious that you found us in the middle of the night-- feels like an illicit spy game now, huh? xo
DeleteLet's see. I loved the Flintstones, mostly because they were like forbidden fruit. My friend watched them at lunch so if I was at her place I saw them - if I was at home for lunch, I was watching Elwood Glover with my Mom. FogHorn LegHorn was a favorite, as was the dynamic between Tweety and Sylvester and Roadrunner and Coyote (can you believe how much they edit the 'viokence out of the Roadrunner cartoon?) I also loved ... Name is eluding me...."Be vewy vewy quiet..I'm hunting rabbit..". I think I enjoyed the fact he was the one with the weapons, but always lost! ELMER FUDD!! That's what his name was - he cracked me up. Oh for the good old days!
ReplyDeleteI could actually answer that one as I was reading and you were searching for the name! But you got it, Fran. so funny :)
