The real cartoons were:
Old Loony Toons Wiley Coyote Bugs Bunny Daffy Duck Elmer Fudd Foghorn Leghorn Sylvester and Tweety Marvin the Martian Tex Avery Cartoons Old Tom and Jerry, not the newer ones that REALLY sucked Those were some of my favorites... I really liked cartoons that were made in the old days when everything wasn't so politically correct and people could get attacked with a hatchet or a knife in a cartoon. That is when cartoons were great. Then you had the absolutely brilliant scripts for the old cartoons... even when someone wasn't getting beaten, attacked or killed.

Hmmm...never heard of any of those cartoons...lol...
I'm like IceNine, in that the old WB cartoons and Tom & Jerry were abso-fuckin-lutely classic...there was so much adult humor subtly added into the seemingly mindless slapstick violence...(does anyone really question why a male ram's horns would suddenly go "straight" at the sight of a female ram??..lol)...The voices, the direction, the pacing, even the stories were just much, much better back then...and while I adore Spongebob Squarepants (lol), nobody was cooler, funnier, or more irrelevant in cartoons than Bugs.. 8) | |

Remember 'Prince And The Revolution On Planet Shockadelica'?
Easily one of Hanna-Barbera's classics. Shame it only lasted one season, though. My favourite episode was the one when they were looking for the moonbeam levels to help the New Power Generation People light up the city of Soulpsychadelicide. What was the animated Prince's catchphrase again? 'Yoinks, I've gotten the funk again!' - that made me laugh every time. Actually, my favourite 80s cartoon was Dungeons and Dragons. Was it right that it was stopped because parents thought that it was too 'adult' for kids? I'd love to have seen a proper ending to it. | |

Ok, now that we're on the subject.
On Pinwheel, there used to be this animated skit with a little blue boy and a little red girl both made of clay. It was like a stop motion animation. They would run around in this 3d world of boxes and cubes and stuff, and this really annoying music would play in the background. WHAT WAS IT CALLED?! | |

Yeah, Bugs Bunny was the greatest. I loved anything with that orange monster in it too. Anyone know what its name was? As a kid I was really into Transformers, GI Joe, GoBots, Voltron and all that boyish stuff. We had the Disney Channel too so I saw that movie "The Brave Little Toaster" repeatedly. Loved that film. | |

The orange monster's name is "Gossamer," I believe. SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

Anyone remember Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse? It was a cartoon version of Batman and Robin. Even the frog villain sounded like a cross between Burgess Meredith (the Penguin) and Humphrey Bogart. | |

Gossamer rules! I also loved Go-Bots (Crasher rocked my world!), Transfromers, and G.I.Joe. As my bro noted, "The Brave Little Toaster" simply rocks! | |
