That's right old-school. None of this crap like Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, or Ed, Edd, and Eddy. I'm talking about stuff that usually came on Saturday mornings or you saw it on TV when you got home from school. I have several favorites including The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, and all of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. I also, for some reason, loved The Smurfs. But my all-time favorite is without a doubt, The Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids show. Man, I loved that show and I wish it would come on either the Cartoon Network or Boomerang. All of the characters were great like Dumb Donald with the toboggan completely over his head except for some eyeholes, Mushmouth (great comical character), Weird Harold, Rudy with his orange cap, and of course, Fat Albert. I loved how all the characters had a distinct walk, and I loved the music that they would use on the show. And they were always classic lines like Russell saying this to Rudy, "Rudy, you're like school on Saturdays....NO CLASS!" And of course they would all laugh at poor Rudy with these crazy laughs! But while the show had some crazy and goofy moments, there was always a lesson to be learned for every show and that made it even better and IMO, an educational show. They just don't make them like Fat Albert anymore....*sigh* What is your favorite "old-school" cartoon show?
It's probably on the boarder of being an "old school" cartoon, but I love Johnny Quest! others... Josey and the Pussycats! (I hang my head in shame!)
Super Friends Speed Racer Scooby Doo Land of the Lost (what was the one with everyone racing and they had that dog "Smedley" that weezed when he laughed? Well, that one was also one of my favs) NOT a cartoon, but does anybody remember Rat Patrol? That desert comando type of show? I remember it in the 70's although most episodes were in B&W, so they musta been alot older. Anyone?
Scooby Doo Smurfs Jetsons Flintstones Aquaman He-Man Thundercats GI Joe I remember Rat Patrol!! They had those cool jeeps with the machine gun on top. When I was a kid it used to come on really late at night and we used to always try to stay up and watch it.
I'm trying to think of the name, but they had Penelope Pitstop, the Caveman, et al. racing all the time. Give me time, it'll come to me. My favorite was the Bugs Bunny-Roadrunner show, with honorable mention to Scooby Doo, The Jetsons, and Josie and the Pussycats. Also, I never missed an episode of The Muppets. I love that show!
I think you are talking about the Laff-a-Lympics that was hosted by Snagglepuss and some wolf creature (can't remember his name). That dog that weezed when he laughed was "Muttley" and he was always on the Really Rottens. That was a great show.
TRANSFORMERS...well, the first run anyway. Speaking of which, you guys won't believe what happened to me last night. I laywayed a ton of Transformers stuff (Optimus, Ultra Magnus, Galvatron, etc. etc.) for my kids for this Christmas about a month ago. Went in last night to pick the stuff up and THEY LOST THE ITEMS!!!! I couldn't believe it! Ended up going to ToysRUs to recoup most of what Wal-Mart lost, but I'm finding Optimus Prime the hardest to find. ARGH!!!!
"Heavens to Mergatroid" - Snagglepuss Laugh Olympics Hong Kong Phooey Woody Woodpecker Speed Racer Popeye (the old b/w ones) The Jetsons not cartoons, but still old school Sigmund & The Sea Monsters Land of the Lost H.R. Puff n Stuff The Banana Splits Far Out Space Nuts ("I said lunch not launch") The Bug-a-loos Lost Saucer (with Ruth Buzzi) plus many others.... here's a link for ya: http://www.livingisland.com/ rH
I liked Transfomers best. And before that, one Called Dungeons & Dragons, I think. Vultron was cool, also. And I believe one called Thunder Cats? Oh! And Dino Riders. Dinosaurs and lasers in the same show... every little boys dreams .
Does TMNT count as old school? ...Michangelo is a PARTY DUDE! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Heros in a half shell, TURTLE POWER!
with the exception of transformers, looney tunes, and some of the Thundercats, new school rocks the hell out of old school. Most of the rest just plain bites. btw Manny for some reason I believe they show the Smurfs on Nickelodeon now. Something about that show ... can't put my finger on it, but it's just wrong. Smurffy this biatch!
If you're talking old school, you have to go with inhumanoids. Inhumanoids ruled all. I believe it was part of a variety pack with Bigfoot. Transor Z or something like that. Transformers GI Joe TMNT Voltron, lions only. Dinoriders Spiderman and his amazing friends Robotech Robotica?? The one where people were riding big insects Justice League
spiderman on saturdays was my absolute favorite as a kid jetsons speed racer i loved the road runner! flintstones i loved the peanuts, but they only came on specials. watched charlie brown's christmas on ABC last night...my son is 2 years old and I just hope his generation will be able to sit down and watch that show.
Some of my favorites were: Thundercats MASK He Man GI Joe Transformers Voltron Smurfs Looney Toons Tom and Jerry Scooby Doo
UnderDog! OMG, how could I forget UnderDog?! One of the best ever!!! Also, I do a pretty good Johnny Bravo impression. My wife loves it when I go"What's shakin, little mama?"!
