everyone's favourite cartoons, if any

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

The only Disney toons I liked a whole lot were Donald Duck. There was more slapstick and Donald getting mad all the time, and saying muffled cuss words, or what could've sounded like it.

I'm actually shocked no one mentioned this. My all time favorite is "The Simpsons". With their crude humor, inuendoes left and right, religious undertones, sexual overtones. They pretty much offend anyone and everyone. Gotta love 'em. After 16 seasons and still going, they must be doing something right.
 
Hmmm....Favorite cartoons....I saw some of my old favs on the Cartoon Network, recently, and they just didn't seem as wonderful as I remembered. Guess new technology, graphics, etc., have messed things up for me. Nevertheless, my favorites were...

*Top Cat
*Huckleberry Hound
*Augie Doggie & Doggie Daddy
*Pixie & Dixie
*some of the Looney Toons...I love Witch Hazel!!!
*Yogi Bear
*The Flintstones
*The Jetsons
 
Some misc. notes

Years back, pre-internet, we were sitting around the office talking just like this about old cartoons. I mentioned Clutch Cargo, no one knew what I was talking about. When I mentioned that they matted in real human mouths, everyone laughed and basically did not believe me.

As bizarre irony would have it, the very next week TV guide had a little article on classic animation and a blurb on Clutch Cargo, complete with pic! I brought it in and showed everyone. People were stunned.

Gumby--Ok, as bizarre as this sounds, anyone know where Gumby was filmed? New York? Chicago? Hollywood? No, it's in California all right. But ready for this...it was done in COVINA. That's right, inland valley Covina, miles and miles from Hollywood. This is only 10 miles from my house! I had a friend who is about 8 years older than me and went to a FIELD TRIP to Clokey studios when he was in elementary school. He remembers a bunch of different sized Gumbys.

How is this for wierd...anyone remember Diver Dan? This was done in a studio out in PA I think. Basically it was a guy in a diving suit who looked for treasure, and a sinister barracuda always tried to foil his plan. There was a good fish too, and a mermaid along with other characters. Diver Dan and the mermaid were real, the other fish were suspended rubber or paper mache creatures of some type.

To make it even more bizarre, the whole show was shot THROUGH a real fish tank, to give a watery wavy look to the action. Diver Dan!
 
Felix the Cat...perverted version

kevinpreston...
OMG...I read thru this thread quickly the other day and was wondering why no one had mentioned Felix the Cat...I use to love that cartoon...
and I remember the twisted versions of him too. They use to run at a rock station's "KLOL Midnight Movies" down in the Montrose area of Houston, back in the late 70's, if I recall correctly. Everyone would go in, get stoned and watch these cartoon movies...They were rated X...so you could just imagine what the cartoons had going on in them...
Oh I'm LMAO......
On a more G rated level, I loved the Flintstones, Clutch Cargo, and Speed racer...
Not a cartoon, I think I watched a little bit too much of HR PuffNStuff...LOL

You ARE SO RIGHT spiralactivator!!! Thanks for the clarification....(what I usually refer to "brain farts". ;-)
Dang, it WAS so long ago, lol !
(sorry, long days at ARC lately)
 
Launderess--- I'm with you 100% re Bugs Bunny. He's so great; my all-time favorite cartoon character since I was three, which was MANY years ago. Those Looney Toons had it all; great characters, excellent music....

And I forgot to mention Snagglepuss. "Exit, stage left, e-ven!" Just try to convince me he's not 'family'.
 
Pink Panther

I almost forgot how funny TPP is! I was watching him on Boomerang and I could not stop laughing. Again, another cartoon with hardly any dialogue but slapstick and sudden noises.
 
I love the Pink Panther. It also had some great companion pieces, "The Inspector" and "The Ant and the Aardvark" (with the voice of John Byner).
 
Forgot to mention the latest cartoon "craze" here: "Jakers, The Adventures of Piggly Winks. Set in Ireland, it features a piglet and his friends (a ducking,and calf), and even has the voice of Mel Brooks as one of the older sheep.

While the comedy appeals to adults, each cartoon features one of the youngsters coping with a situation and how they choose to resolve it.

Re: Diver Dan:

I remember a Cartoon Show that had Diver Dan. It was on our Fox-40 and he had a Puppet Squid, that was named O-U Squid. This Cartoon Show was either before of after Skipper Stew, who was Stew Neighan {sp} who was also a Sports Announcer here and I believe he did some other News positions as well. My Cub Scout Group went on the Skipper Stew Show, naturally in our Uniforms, when I was in Elementary School. We also got an Autographed Pix of Capn' Sacto, who was played by Harry Martin, who was also a News person later on as well. I've still got the Autographed Pix in our Family Photo Album.

My most Favorite Cartoons have always been most of the Warner Bros and Hanna-Barbara Cartoons. My most Favorite's are Pepe' Le Pu, Road Runner and Coyote and Flintstones. The first Color Show that my Parents and I watched on our very first Color TV in 1962 was the Flintstones and I believe it was or close to the Premire Showing of them, around that time.

Peace and Happy Cartoon Watching, Steve

Beavis and Butthead

There's a new B&B collection out on DVD but unfortunately, Paranoid, oops Paramount took the scissors to it. Now COME ON! B&B is an adult cartoon, it's supposed to be nasty/sexist/rude/un PC. That was the point. Cut out the nasty stuff and you just killed the cartoon. I heard the episode "No Laughing" has been editd. MY favorite episode. B&B did jump the shark when MTV toned them down. I want to see season series of shows, not randomly picked eps either. Good thing I have the Time-Life collection.

This just happened in the Ren & Stimpy community. The so called UNCUT box sets are actually horridly edited versions of the real thing.

PUH_Leeze people. There are way more politically un-correct stuff out there than R&S, B&B and "Mammy" on Tom & Jerry. Leave our toons alone.
