My 7-year-old granddaughter is crazy about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My sons used to watch it when they were young. And I still struggle to remember which is which. I don't know why but the only one I can remember is Raphael because both his name and his mask color start with R. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

All original versions, and yes, I'm old. We weren't allowed to watch much TV, only 1/2 hour per day, except on Saturday mornings when we could watch from the time we got up until noon.
Good list and agreed...my mom would actually 'yell' us out of the house by noon on Saturdays...and we werent to come back 'til she yelled out the back door around dinner time:)
from childhood?
classic Loony Toons and Merry Melodys, for sure. Warner Bros studio. the cartoons were much older than me, they were all made before I was born but they were on every Saturday morning.
Then as an adult I was able to appreciate them more, they have a lot of movie caricatures and parodies and inside jokes that flew over my head as a kid.
from adulthood: Ren & Stimpy. specially season 1.
also simpsons and family guy and southpark.
Oh yes, all those classic Looney Tunes! Love that Bugs Bunny, but somehow Daffy Duck was my favorite character. He was so flawed, easier to relate to I guess. ha ha The rest of them were great too: Sylvester cat, Tweetie Bird, Yosemite Sam, Pepe la Pew, Speedy Gonzales, Foghorn Leghorn, etc. The list goes on.
The Flintstones were a favorite too. That was one of the few cartoons that came on in prime time. I remember running in the house in the evening to watch it.
A lot of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons were good. Augie Doggy and Doggy Daddy, Pixie and Dixie and Jinx the Cat, Quickdraw McGraw.
They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
They certainly dont make 'em like that anymore!
My little kids watch the dumbest cartoons you could imagine...
Believe me, I've watched some dumb cartoons with my nieces! I introduced one of them to Looney Tunes. We watched it on youtube. She enjoyed them.
My son used to love The Teen-Age Mutant Ninja Turtles and Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers. They weren't too bad. But I made sure that he was introduced to Bugs Bunny and the rest! I bought a lot of cartoons on VHS and taped a lot of them.
I don't even care for the newer Looney Tunes or Tiny Toons. The drawing just can't compare to the old classics. I read somewhere that the old cartoons used many, many more drawings. They were works of art. Now with cost cutting, they use way fewer drawings and you can tell.
Also, I could never get used to the characters being voiced by anyone other than the late, great Mel Blanc. The replacement voices just aren't the same. Of course if kids never heard him, they don't know what they are missing. But I do!
Proper post!
I could not agree more pjpurple:)
Many thanks!
Daffy Duck is the best! he is just total anarchy. Bugs is more like the sly smartass who outsmarts Elmer Fudd with guile, but Daffy just bombards Elmer with nonsense and chaos and Elmer can't stand up to it.
The humor in those cartoons is so smart and subversive, it still stands up. When they were first made the intended audience was not children, it was grownups who were at movie theaters watching Warner Brothers gangster movies and film noir.
So true about the difference between Bugs and Daffy. I read an article about the brains behind some of those cartoons, Chuck Jones. He said that he made a lot of those cartoons for himself.
He also said that Bugs was the ideal which everyone aspires to and Daffy was what everyone was really like! lol
That reminded me immediately of Bugs and Daffy when they found the treasure of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. They were inside the cave and Daffy had to have it ALL. "Mine, mine, mine!!"
"What can I say? I'm a greedy slob."
