Classic Cartoons

[rickradio]

You can't really blame Hanna Barbara...

And while Hanna Barbara at its peak produced some real crap...

Not to nitpick, Tex, but in the interest of accuracy, Joe's last name was Barbera, not Barbara.

As a child I watched Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, The Mighty Heroes, The Impossibles and Frankenstein Jr., Herman and Katnip, Little Audrey, Deputy Dawg, Quick Draw McGraw, Heckle and Jeckle, Mighty Mouse, Casper, and others I can't think of right now. Wikipedia has been very helpful.

As I got older there were Archie, Josie and the Pussycats and The Wacky Races and their spinoffs.

Oh, yeah. I watched Woody Woodpecker (the new version; more recently I saw his original version and couldn't stand him), Rocky and Bullwinkle, George of the Jungle (that was shown again on ABC on Saturdays when the movie was released), and Underdog.

And The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Top Cat. These were prime-time animated comedies, which Fox has revived. Back then I thought those were just cartoons.
