Classic cartoons
« on: July 14, 2008, 07:58:43 PM »
When I had DirecTV, there used to be a channel called Boomerang, which was owned by Cartoon Network.  I'm not sure if it's still in existence, but Boomerang was dedicated to showing old, classic cartoons that hadn't been on TV in years.  Here are some of my favorites from when I was growing up.  Anyone remember any of these?

Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!




Secret Squirrel and Morroco Mole:




Winsome (aka Winnie) Witch:



Who can forget Precious Pupp?




And my all-time favorite:

Look, up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a frog!   A frog?

Not plane, not bird, nor even frog, it's just little ole me .....

Although he would never be called a Sly Bald Guy, I loved Droopy.

Don't sell Spongebob short Razor.  He's a heckuva actor.  The classics were still the best, but the more I've watched some of the newer stuff, it kinda grows on you.

Phineas & Ferb (Disney) is excellent.

I don't remember Winsome Witch or Precious Pupp. But the rest I do. One of my favorites on Saturday morning was...Jonny Quest



Jonny, Dr. Quest, Race Bannon, Hadji (Sim Sim Salabim) and of course Bandit.

FYI, just a little nostalgic history. The voice of Jonny Quest was provided by a 17 year old Tim Matheson from 1964-65. Tim came to fame on NBC's The Virginian and you might know him best as the sex-crazed Eric "Otter" Stratton in 1978's Animal House.

I used to watch Johnny Quest too.

Hmmm, I think I watched too much television as a kid. Could be why I hate it now LOL

I also liked watching Mighty Mouse.
