Mine was The Flintstones, and I especially like the Great Gazoo(sp?)
I would rush home to finish my homework just so I could watch it.

I loved Smurfs on Saturday mornings.

Also, Scooby Doo it used to kind of scare me but I watched it anyhow.

My kids couldn't watch Scooby either....it scares them.

I would get up at 4am so I could get ready for school before morning cartoons came on. :D
My favorites were Thundercats, Transformers, Flintstones, Smurfs and G.I.Joe.
I know I watched others, but these were my favorites.

I would say Duck Tales, Grape Ape, Flinstones, and Roadrunner. I absolutely hated Scooby Doo and my brother made me watch it all the time. Now my dd loves it and it still drives me crazy!

I found a VHS copy of several of the PP episodes at a local thrift store last year, and my youngest loves these.

My absolute favorites growing up were Johnny Quest, Inspector Gadget and Scooby Doo. Of course I watched almost all of the others already mentioned also. :D

The idea that you could overcome evil by linking arms with your family and beaming love from your guts really thrilled me.

The Thundercats, my dad would turn it up to wake us up in the morning. I loved the Smurfs and the Snorkels. And the one where the dog would jump in file cabinet and pop out in a karate outfit. :)

Inspector Gadget and Johnny Quest.

I remember vividly watching an evening promo show of the new Saturday morning line-up and seeing the first episode of Kimba the White Lion.

Who lives down in deepest darkest Africa?
(Africa)
Who's the one who brought the jungle fame?
Who's the king of Animals in Africa?
Kimba the white lion is his name! When we get in trouble and we're in a fight
Who's the one who just won't turn and run?
Who believes in doing good and doing right?
Kimba the white lion is the one! He's the greatest leader, there's no doubt of it.
He's the one we count on night and day.
When there's danger he can get us out of it--
Kimba the white lion leads the way!

Watched many already mentioned, Speed racer, Kimba, Flinstones, Jetsons, Loony tunes, Mighty Mouse, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Dudley Doright, Underdog, Mr. Wizard, Fractured Fairytales, etc., etc., etc.

If it was on Saturday mornings in the early 70's, I watched it.

Flintstones, Jetsons, Caspar the Friendly Ghost, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Tom & Jerry, Popeye, Felix the Cat.

Robin Hood

Not animated, but I would get up early and get ready for school so I could watch I Married Joan. I have no idea why I liked that show. At a very young age, one of my favorite night time shows was The Carol Burnett Variety Show. I loved the live acts where they goofed and tried not to laugh.

j.griff
02-23-2008, 01:25 PM
Oh, I loved Carol too, and another non-animated fave was My Favorite Martian, and Mork and Mindy.

that takes me back to Saturday mornings watching Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Jetsons, Flintstones, Go Go Speed Racer, and Smurfs. And then something went around about Smurfs being of the devil bc they were blue. I never quite got that.

Happy Saturday!

I would rush home to finish my homework just so I could watch it.Loved those Hanna Barberra cartoons (like the Flintstones). But my favorite cartoons were, and still are, Bugs Bunny. So clever, and there's humor that you love as a child, but appreciate on a deeper level as an adult.

Awww I Loved strawberry shortcake (now my little girl likes it), and I really liked the Flintstones. What's funny is my son just had a Violin concert and they played the Theme to the Flintstones and my son had NO idea what it was supossed to sound like. :) I found some youtube clips and he got it. :)

Underdog, Road Runner, Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, but for me the best TV ever was Gilligan's Island. I also loved Batman (non-animated) on prime time, circa 1966.

I loved She-Ra. I was dedicated to the story line. I hated missing an episode!

Casper the Friendly Ghost was my all-time favorite.

Wait! I just saw Rough Collie's list - everything on there.

And of course, every episode of Gilligan's Island, the Brady Bunch, and Bewitched.

I liked Land of the Lost too! My favorite cartoons were Scooby Doo, Johnny Quest, Droopy, Mr. McGoo and Pepe LePew, whatever she was in???

Doran

Heh. I always think about this when I consider how limited (relatively) my kids' screentime is in comparison to my own.

We loved Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, and The Jetsons. We also loved Flintstones, Scooby Doo, and Foghorn Leghorn. I'm sure there were others, but by now, my mother would have come in the room and said, "Okay, enought of these 'jumping jacks', it's time you got outside!"

Nuts don't fall far, huh? :rolleyes:

My dad would watch all of the Road Runner ones with us, so that may be why I like it so much. I also liked Scooby Doo and Speed Buggy (not to be confused with Speed Racer). Oh, and the Flintstones and the Jetsons - had to go back in time and to the future.

02-24-2008, 12:25 AM
The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, and Hong Kong Phooey!

I also liked the Bugs Bunny Show, but I liked Pepe le Pew best.
