For me it's Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse.
Of course, if we're talking more than 1 show, I'd
have to go with all the Warner Bros. stuff..

02/01schoolhouse rock ... rocks!! among my favs were:
lolly's adverbs (get your adverbs here!)
conjunction junction (what's my function?)
suffrin' before sufferage (the 19th amendment struck down that restrictive rule!)
no more kings -

Re: Favorite cartoon?
02/04I love the
Verb: That's what's happening!
I Got Six!
Which ironically is not the best vocab...I have six, would be proper...I got six means I was given or I have aquired six...somehow. -
-
Re: Favorite cartoon?
02/04oh yeah, i forgot how much i loved Verb. did you hear the Moby cover of it for Schoolhouse Rock Rocks!? not into Moby so much, but his cover kicks ass.
funny you should mention "got" - in the mid 1970's, there was one mother in the neighborhood who always had it in for me. one day i said "he's got his bag" and she kept saying "No, he doesn't 'got' it" and I kept insisting he did. Well, she was simply trying to impart on me that "got" isn't proper English. Why the heck she didn't just come out and say "excuse me, but 'got' isn't a word" i would have immediately picked up on what she was trying to do.
this is the same neighbor who fed me carob for the first time. carob in the 1970's was soooo disgusting and gross i didn't eat it again for almost 20 years!! -
-
Re: Favorite cartoon?
02/05I am so sorry for the carob incident...not kind.
I have not heard the Moby cover...not too much into Moby, either. I will certainly find it...

Re: Favorite cartoon?
05/07FYI Herculoid fans:
www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp
Thought you all might get a kick out of seeing the toys.
Once I saw 'em I finally remembered the cartoon, which I did love but couldn't name. -
-
Re: Favorite cartoon?
05/07I never knew they made Herculoid action figures. I also noticed the site had Dynomutt and Bird Man action figures. That brings back memories. I always felt sorry for the Blue Falcon having to put up with Dynomutt’s constant blunders.

Re: Favorite cartoon?
03/25If you're talking absolute favorite it would have to be Battle of the Planets for me. I was absolutely gaga over it.
-
Re: Favorite cartoon?
03/26Oh there are SO many...but here's my way-too-long list (no particular order):
* Hong Kong Phooey
* Josie and the Pussycasts
* Laff-a-Lympics
* Scooby Doo (pre-Scrappy, of course)
* Superfriends
* Underdog
* Superchicken
* George of the Jungle
* Pixie & Dixie
* Huckleberry Hound
* Yogi Bear
* Ricochet Rabbit
* Deputy Dawg
* Rocky & Bullwinkle
* Flintstones
* Wacky Races/Penelope Pitstop (the name of my childhood bassett hound)
* Looney Toons/Warner Bros/Etc.-I actually really loved the ones that had no characters in them but were like travel logs, but silly. Does anyone remember those? I think those were from the 40s originally but got a lot of play in the 70s.
* Hercules - from the 60s but shown in the 70s too.
For that matter, I guess several on my list are probably hold-overs from at least the 60s. I rather liked the 60s Superman/Batman/Aquaman/Flash/Green Lantern etc. single toons from the 60s that were sometimes stilla around in the 70s.
And I LOVED Schoolhouse Rock! I still know the preamble and can sing most of the other ones as well. In fact, have to make this post just a bit longer to say some stuff about it.
First off, I remember all the ones that were on through the early 80s (well...ok...'82) very well and they did actually teach me stuff that I used, maybe some of it only for school. You know, not sure that being able to recite the preamble makes me a better person at my job or anything....but I am glad I still know it. :-)
But I have a friend who I met as an adult, just after I turned 30, actuall, who was friends with Bob Dorough. Bob wrote a large amount of the Schoolhouse Rock material. She actually sang on Conjunction Junction and Elbow Room. This friend was a recovering hippie who had been kind of underground for years at a time, never watching much TV, or around kids much other than her own son who was well out of the mainstream. So she really had no idea until she talked to me and some of my friends that anyone was even familiar with Bob's work or still remembered any of it!! I told her that it had taught an entire generation about things that they might not have learned so easily if not for cool cartoons and catchy songs.
ok...I'll shut up now...for a while. -

Re: Favorite cartoon?
04/19Wow. Way too many to choose from. I have to say among my very top favorites are
Underdog
Mighty Mouse
Scooby-Doo (Pre-Scrappy!!!!!)
Spirit of '76
George of the Jungle
Looney Toons
Kimba the White Lion
Tennessee Tuxedo
Quick Draw McGraw (Remember "El Kabong!"?) :D
Dastardly and Muttley (I liked Muttley best! *hehehehe*)
etc., etc., etc.
I absolutely LOVED Schoolhouse Rock, but it was actually more of a "commercial", than an official "cartoon". (I know, I know, picky, picky, picky. :P ) -
-
Re: Favorite cartoon?
04/20Oh, and I loved Danger Mouse. But I think that was more of an '80's cartoon. ?
I almost forgot, too, I loved Mission Magic. (I think that was the name... I'm a longtime Rick Springfield fan... :P *drool* ) -
-
Re: Favorite cartoon?
11/21Yeah, Mission Magic was the name. Had a teacher (Miss Tickle) who was a sorceress, and her cat Tut-tut, who'd become real (he was a statue at the beginning of each show), and off they'd all go on one magic adventure in time.
Liked Danger Mouse as well.

Re: Favorite cartoon?
04/18There where so many, but here are a few of my favorite:
Underdog: I like the way he always spoke in rhyme.
Mighty Mouse.
The Superfriends. I like it best when they fought against the Legion of Doom. I liked seeing more of the different heroes of the Justice League, plus all the cool villains. (Although the gimmicks the villains used to escape week after week got to be a bit contrived.)
Space Ghost.
The Hair Bear Bunch. I liked how they had all that stuff (TV refrigerator, comfortable beds) hidden in their cave, and their “air motorcycle”
Hong Kung Phooey. The Kung Fu craze was sweeping the country at the time. I liked how he always had to look things up in The Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu, and how he captured the bad guys either a) completely by accident, or b) with the help of his cat Spot (which he never noticed). His car was cool as well. Just bang the gong and it could transform into almost anything.
Scooby Doo. I liked how Shaggy and Scooby were always eating, and their quick-change disguises. I wish the movie would have brought this out more.
School House Rock.
Wheely and the Chopper Bunch. Da Da Da Da Ta Da…Charge! And at the end, when the Chopper Bunch got what was coming to them, the little motor scooter would say “I told ya’, I told ya,” to which Chopper would respond with something like “Oh, go muffle your carburetor!” (or a similar phrase; it varied from week to week.)

Re: Favorite cartoon?
04/22Hm....off the top of my head...
1) Wacky Races - if only for Dick Dastardly and his sycophantic canine sidekick Muttley (like also the one with Yankee Doodle Pigeon)
2) Hair Bear Bunch - the big hair...the thrill of giving the Man the bird...oh so '70's!!!!
3) Superfriends - CHEESEtastic...betcha that the Justice League can't turn up chars as memorable as Marvin, Wendy and (the one and only) Wonderdog
4) the original He-Man & the Masters of the Universe cartoon

Re: Favorite cartoon?
04/28Oooh Ooh, I have a couple :

Re: Favorite cartoon?
04/30OK, many of those started in the '60s! (But hey--I watched reruns of some up until I was out of COLLEGE!)
My faves: Underdog/Tennessee Tuxedo, Tom & Jerry, Bullwinkle, Looney Tunes, THE MUPPET SHOW, pre-Scrappy Scooby Doo, the Pink Panther, "Queeks Draw" McGraw & Baba Louie, Hong Kong Phooey, Davy & Goliath, Gumby...But HATED the Sid & Marty Krofft stuff like the Bugaloos, HR Pufnstuf, etc! -
-
Re: Favorite cartoon?
05/04I LOVED Davey & Goliath! Gumby was great. And I loved most of the Krofft stuff, too. The thing is, I don't think of those as "cartoons". To me they just tend to fall into the "children's shows" category.
I think it's interesting how we all seem to agree on one thing. Scrappy doo sucked!!!!!! -

I think his sidekick was a monkey.
I just saw the Lancelot Link thread... I was fascinated by those chimps... -

Re: Favorite cartoon?
06/07Peter Potamus sidekick in his time-traveling adventures was the chimp So-So.
