I know that to be the Green Hornet, but that was before my time.
Johnny Quest was a favorite, Race Bannon, Haji, Dr. Quest, and Bandit were great.

[Rick Potter]

Nice try Rick,

That is the tag line from 'The Shadow'. It finishes......"The Shadow knows."

Rick Potter

[Stephen Tashiro]

What? No fans of "Rocky The Flying Squirrel"?

Does "Fireball XL-5" count as a cartoon? I think of it as a puppet show. I liked the theme music.

What were the names of some of those really cheaply made cartoons where everything about the characters was a cartoon except the mouth. The mouth appeared to be film of an actual mouth.

[Lupe Duncan]

In the words of that dog "Rooby, Rooby, Roo".
Daphne was hot. Kinda like a animated Ginger.

[Rick Moyer]

[Bill Cunningham]

SPACE PATROL !!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Patrol_%281950_TV_series%29

We got the first TV on the street in 1953, and Space Patrol was the 'star wars' of the 50's

[Rick Potter]

Bill,

I sent away for a Space Patrol helmet, you know, a million boxtops and some stamps. It took long enough to arrive that I had outgrown the need for it. It was pretty lame too. About on par with the baking soda submarine.

Rick Potter

[Bob Turkovich]

What were the names of some of those really cheaply made cartoons where everything about the characters was a cartoon except the mouth. The mouth appeared to be film of an actual mouth.

Stephen, I believe that would be Clutch Cargo.

My favorite would be lunch with Soupy Sales (who started localyl in Detroit before going national).

Among his words of wisdom, "Be true to your teeth and they won't be false to you..."

[Tom Stenzel]

Being a lifelong Chuck Jones fan, I have to go with the Looney Tunes cartoons as my all time favorite.

But the funniest cartoon I ever saw was when the NBC peacock was cooked and eaten for Thanksgiving on Rocky and Bullwinkle!

-Tom S.

[John Coloccia]

Looney Tunes. I can't think of a close second.

Bill,

Rick Potter

Ahh the bakingsoda submarine.. I forgot all about those.. I also sent away for the 'UDT divers' which were also powered by baking soda..(those probably were core reason I ended up working in the diving industry for over 20 years) the I 'did' like the Space Patrol Periscope, but didn't have the money to send away for it, so I built one, and just pretended to see marauding robots over the wall.. ha

[Rick Potter]

Help me Bill,

What was the kids name on Space Patrol. As I remember, the tag line was "Billy __?___ and the Spaaaaaace Patrol.

It's driving me nuts to not remember.

Rick P

[Dave Stuve]

Anything that Chuck Jones was involved in "Bugs is who we want to be. Daffy is who we are...."

[Ole Anderson]

Yosemite Sam, Road Runner, Foghorn Leghorn ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LCsiWL6gn0 ), Porkey Pig, Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunney, Tweetie Pie, Tasmanian Devil, yep, just about anything from the Looney Tunes. http://www.nonstick.com/wdocs/charac.html Popeye too.

[Greg Peterson]

Anything that Chuck Jones was involved in "Bugs is who we want to be. Daffy is who we are...."

+1. Chuck Jones was a genius. He and Mel Blanc were the gold standard, IMO.

[Mike Langford]

My Favorite was (still is) HUCKLEBERRY HOUND!

215251
Although I watched and enjoyed Bugs, Daffy, Road Runner, etc. I always LOVED all the early Hanna-Barbera cartoons....plus by the time I was 12 ('65) I could draw them (still can!)

Yogi, Boo-boo, & Mr. Ranger
Quick Draw McGraw & Baba-Looey
Auggie Doggie & Doggie Daddy
Yakky Doodle & Chopper
Top Cat
Wally Gator
Magilla Gorilla
Snagglepuss
etc.

I also loved Jonny Quest, but I never cared for Scooby-Doo....;)

Favorite shows:
Superman (George Reeves)
Lone Ranger (Clayton Moore)
Batman (Adam West)

[Bryan Morgan]

Mr. Wizard. I'm a nerd and I love science and experiments and what not. Loved the chemistry sets of my era...100 dangerous chemicals, not like the junk they give kids today which have basically salt and baking soda.

[Doug Morgan]

Nah Fog Horn Leg Horn has em all beat. "I I I say that boy is as punchy as a drill press"

[Bill Bukovec]

Bugs Bunny's square dance in 'Hillbilly Hare'

You can find it on You Tube.

I think I saw it the first time 40 tears ago. I never forgot it.

This was back in the day when one caracter could wallop another over the head with a fence post.

[Belinda Barfield]

Unless I missed it, there are no Pink Panther fans. What's up with that?

[Mike Cruz]

Clay, right there with ya on Ultraman and Speed Racer!

[Mike Cruz]

Luckily, I say luckily, I always keep my feathuhs numbered...

I have to say, though, two shows I watched a lot...Johnny Quest and Kimba (the white lion).

[ray hampton]

Unless I missed it, there are no Pink Panther fans. What's up with that?

pink panther and pierre, nobody mention the Tas devil either

[Mike Cruz]

I think you just missed it Belinda...or maybe it came after you posted, but I saw at least on PP...

[Bill Cunningham]

Help me Bill,

What was the kids name on Space Patrol. As I remember, the tag line was "Billy __?___ and the Spaaaaaace Patrol.

It's driving me nuts to not remember.

Rick P

That might be a different show! I don't remember anyone in the cast named 'Billy' (and I should, for obvious reasons..) That name is not mentioned anywhere in the wikipedia link.. You can also search the Internet archive for old radio and television shows.. Got a favorite? It's probably on here somewhere..
here's a archive link to a episode of space patrol you can watch..
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=space%20patrol%20AND%20collection %3Atelevision

[Bob Burk]

+1 to Pink Panther including the movies with Peter Sellers.
Always have been and I still am a Bugs Bunny and Friends fan.
Enjoyed Johnny Quest.

As far as show go there were a number of them in the afternoon we watched:

Rat Patrol
Star Trek (Captn. Kirk and his crew)
Green Hornet
Batman and Robin
Who could forget the Munsters
Gilligans Island
Lost in Space

I'm sure there are others just can't think of them.

[Rick Potter]

OK Bill, you win,

It was obviously 'Buzz Corey and the Spaaaaace Patrol' I was remembering. Probably got it confused with 'Bobby Benton(?) and the B bar B ranch, or some other fragment of my tormented youth. Probably got that one wrong too.

Rick P

Edit: Yup, got it wrong, it was Bobby BENSON and the B bar B. Amazing what you can google.

[James Carmichael]

knowing this will date many of us...
Also Heckle and Jeckle...

Too funny. I loved Heckle & Jeckle.
My 9 yo son loves Phineas and Ferb. Of course, I only watch it because he does:-)

[Jerome Stanek]

and I got to watch the Rebel today

[Jason Roehl]

Hard to narrow it down to a favorite. I liked all the Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera stuff, as well as SuperFriends, and I see that nobody has mentioned a classic--Hong Kong Phooey (almost as old as I am, and only about 30 episodes made, but it was re-run well into the '80s).

Bugs, Rocky&Bullwinkle, Taz, Yosemite Sam, Tom&Jerry, Foghorn Leghorn, Sylvester&Tweety, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, G.I.Joe, Jetsons, Road Runner, Johnny Quest, Popeye, Daffy Duck, Donald Duck, Speedy Gonzalez, it was all good...I'm sure I'm leaving a bunch out. I was always up at 6 AM on Saturdays no problem as a kid.

[Randy Alkins]

Anyone remember Willy the Worm of Winkie Dink? That will age me.

[Van Huskey]

I was going to say I was surprised nobody had mentioned Superfriends but Jason did. Second for me would be Looney Tunes the latter started my Saturday morning and the former ended it, everything in between was filler.
