Cartoons

[phoenix1967]

Looney Toons took up much of my Saturday morning viewing as a kid. I remember when it was an hour long. Some time towards the end of its run, some dumbass decided to edit them down. I mean...when Daffy says "shoot me now!", you want to see the end result after Elmur blasts his beak backwards, right? They'd edit stuff like that out. Now you can only see the originals on their DVD collections.

Others were:
The Jetsons
Hong Kong Phooey ("#1 Super Guy")
Pink Panther
Tom & Jerry
Grape Ape
Speed Racer
Mr Magoo
Flintstones
Woody Woodpecker/Chilly Willy
Popeye (the best were the old B&W ones)
Laff-a-Lympics
Yogi Bear
Scooby Doo
Superfriends ("WONDER TWIN POWERS...ACTIVATE!")
Fat Albert! ("Heybuh Fatbuh Albuh!")
Futurama

Nowadays, I'll occasionally catch an episode of the Simpsons and/or Family Guy.

I watched A LOT Hanna-Barbera cartoons when i was a kid...

[Zagnorch]

Ya know, I gotta be honest:

A few years back took another look at a lot of the 1980s 'toons I used to watch as a kid...

...and for the most part I found myself embarrassed that I could have been so easily entertained by such silly nonsense.

Same goes for much of the live-action fare I liked, too, like The A-Team, Knight Rider, and You Can't Do That on Television!

But, for better or worse, they are a part of my childhood.

There's the obvious shows, like TransFormers and G.I. Joe. Although I was way more into the TransFormers toys, I hafta admit that the G.I. Joe show was better-written. Though that's not saying much...

Then there's Voltron, which was notable for me 'cuz I was the only grade-schooler who liked the 15-piece vehicle robot more than the 5-piece lion one. Years later, I found out that the original Japanese versions of the show had lots more violence and death in 'em, complete with stabbings, shootings, and other vivid scenes of appalling brutality:



Man, where was this Voltron when I was a kid? It's infinity times more awesome than what we eventually got in the states.

Still, as far as reworked and edited-down anime goes, I still think Star Blazers and Robotech hold up fairly well. I just wish they'd release the unedited Japanese version of Space Battleship Yamato in the states.

And how could I forget Mighty Orbots:



I also enjoyed Danger Mouse, although I rarely watched it 'cuz it usually played in the early afternoon when I was at school.

Do it. DO IT!!!

You'll be gone so long, we can really do some funky things around here in your absence...

...like making this place the next 4Chan.

...aww, poor broken image. Too bad you can't hotlink from that site.

In hindsight, it was more appropriate for the now-drifty moniker thread.

In the meantime...

D'ya think he's bluffing? Hmmm?

One of my favorite hobbies outside of video games is trying to get a hold of cartoons from the first golden age of animation. Lonney Tunes and Merrie Melodies are some of my all time favorites.

Also, The early season of the Simpsons and Freakazoid!.
