Having grown up on Scooby-Doo, I really expected to run across more abandoned amusement parks than I have.

Loved Space Ghost 😍

Also Jonny Quest.

And…. That’s about it, really. I was never much into cartoons. I adored The Monkees, even though I hardly ever knew what was going on.

Aww, I liked Scooby Doo. The mystery stories were pretty good…my favourite one was the space kook with the skeleton head that gave this shrieking sound and left glowy footprints:

The Jetson’s.
Shoot. The Flintstones was a Prime Time show.

And it passed me off when they added that nasty little smartass puppy Scrappy-do.

I’m a traditionalist.

@Durned–
Many TV shows went downhill rapidly once they added a baby.

Never was much into Scooby Do. My favorites were the Warner Golden Age cartoons and Moose & Squirrel.

“an Apache scarf”… well, it was the “second coming” of the Apache scarf, then. I refer you to “the Apache dance,” an oddity not frequently seen since the mid-1900s.

The Apache scarf was a part of the male dancer’s costume just as the striped pullover was part of the female dancer’s costume.

I didn’t like most of the Hanna-Barbera works.
As you say, the animation was spotty.

Now REALLY old Popeye cartoons, a few I remember, had really detailed scenery, a couple were amazingly detailed as I recall.

And for music, well it was hard to beat Bugs. And just once, just ONCE, I wanted Wiley Coyote to catch and eat that friggin bird.

@durnedyankee:

I’m with you in spirit, but I have to disagree about the animation. It wasn’t spotty. It always stunk, all of it.

I can actually still remember a number of these.

Not too far gone … yet.

The sweet spot for Scoob was the Harlem Globetrotters / Don Knotts / Phyllis Diller cameo seasons, well before they defiled the show with Scrappy.

@TheNeonMadman – ah yes. I always watched Rocky and Bullwinkle, though I didn’t find it entertaining until I was much older. I would sit through every episode in hopes of another edition of Fractured Fairy tales. Those were stellar.

I only watched for the music in the chase scenes. Just once you’d think Scooby would get tired of running away and go all Cujo on the masked middle aged white guy in the costume.

@Neon Madman…I never could get into Hanna-Barbera’s animation either.

As a Mad Magazine devotee…Moose & Squirrel and Warner classics were more my style. In our TV market Johnny Carson’s “Who Do You Trust” was on before Moose & squirrel…followed by Crusader Rabbit…a trifecta of snark.

Speaking of Mad…this made me laugh out loud “Spy vs Spy” I’m guessing that’s not what their PR firm was going for.

A whole generation’s sense of humor is forever warped…which ain’t such a bad thing nowadays.

I still love the puns and wordplay in R&B.

Mr Peabody and his boy Sherman.

“Whatsamatta U” University
“Whyntchatakea Peak”
And years ahead of it’s time
“Upsidasium” which was stolen to become “Unobtainium” by “Dances with Big Blue Humanoids”

I could never figure out why NAZI Fearless leader was in charge of a couple of Russians.

Anyone for Beany and Cecil, Mighty Mouse, Underdog, Tennessee Tuxedo or Whacky Racers?

Never had any use for Hanna-Barbera product, with the honorable exception of Jonny Quest. I mean, come on, characters were straight up killed on JQ, sure had my respect when I was six years old.

Always have loved the glorious old theatrical cartoons from the Forties and Fifties. Treasure trove here, if you select one you have to scroll down to see the player on the page:
