Beany and Cecil

and

Top Cat

and of course

The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show

DUH! How could I forget those?

Yogi Bear.

And of course Bugs Bunny! And the Road Runner - although I always felt sorry for the coyote.

Bugs Bunny. Either there are a lot of weirdos on the Chiffboard or many think Bugs is so obvious that he needn’t be mentioned.

Here’s a factoid: in 1998 or 1999 the Washington Post ran an article on the ____ of the millenium, naming the greatest musicians, writers, etc. They chose Bugs as the actor of the millenium (Greta Garbo was the actress). I thought it was a great choice – one minute a mild-mannered rabbit, the next a female Tasmanian devil or a preacher marrying two devils.

I agree on the brilliance of Bugs Bunny. It’s just that the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies were so extensively shown that I (and probably others) have sometimes tended to overlook it as ubiquitous.

Well . . . erm . . . <ahem!> . . . mine, of course.

I remember Lambchop and Shari Lewis in black and white –

I hate Scooby Doo. What a horrible cartoon.

How could I have forgotten Top Cat or Bullwinkle or Mr. Wizard.

Heathen! Sinner! Blasphemous rogue!

I demand this thread be moved to the Controversial forum so we can have a proper argument.

Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies are definitely at the top of my list. Though Daffy is my C&F avatar, I don’t really have a favorite Looney Tunes character. It would be impossible to choose among all the wonderful oddballs in those cartoons.

Scooby Doo falls into the category of shows I loved as a kid, but can’t stand as an adult. Some kids’ shows, however, have held up quite well to my aging tastes; Looney Tunes and Bullwinkle spring to mind. There are also a few I like that I didn’t discover until already an adult, the TV cartoon adaptation of The Tick being a prime example.

While I don’t watch it myself anymore, I do find myself saying “and I would’ve gotten it done too, if it hadn’t been for those meddling kids” quite often.

I’ll bet you do, with good reason!

I was fortunate enough to be part of the first generation that had a cartoon designed to sell toys. Ít was HeMan. Although the cartoon Spiral_zone had an unhealthy amount of commercialism, I still liked it.

Rocky and Bullwinkle is still over my head even though I understand about half of the jokex now.

[Congratulations]

But seriously–Scooby Doo is really bad.
