80s Cartoons

What about Chilly Willy? I always remember the pancakes.
I also liked the OLD Woody Woodpecker. They were way better than the newer ones.

So no love for Danger Mouse then? Or cartoon-in-a-show, Captain Kremmin of the Star Corp?

It may be that some memories are better left alone, but dammit, any one of the series named here that I'm familiar with (and it's quite a lot) would run rings around what's on for children these days. Has anybody SEEN Cartoon Network lately? What the hell is Captain Flapjack? Thia show is on at a local pizza palor in town and I really came close to telling them to turn it off if they couldn't do better. The humor apparently consists of characters throwing up for no apparent reason at all.
Man, and I thought SpongeBob killed brain cells (well, actually, the cartoon "SpongeBob B.C." does...every time I watch that 7 minute short, I can feel several brain cells jumping to their death, screaming in pain...yet my 7 year old is not bothered by it).
I would rather have hot coals shoved in my eyes,nose and mouth than to EVER see another episode of FlapJack, Give me Bugs and Daffy and day over this garbage. Good god, it makes Pokemon look like - quality wise - Bugs and Daffy in comparison! It makes a class show like Anamaniacs and "Looney Tunes", plus anything by Tex Avery, look like "The Godfather"!
Some days I just know old Chuck (Jones), Friz (Freleng), and Tex are just spinning around in their graves seeing that their art form has come to this.

When I was a wee kid, I remember loving Ultraman, Marine Boy and Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot. A little older and I too loved all those 80's shows...Dungeons and Dragons, Star Blazers, etc.
I've got two boys who love Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, Bakugan, Ben 10, etc. and most of the recently released animated movies. (They've actually got some pretty good taste - they watched Madagascar once and never desired it again.)
They do enjoy watching Cartoon Network as often as they are allowed. Johnny Test is a favorite, but I have to say, I originally found Flapjack a bit offensive, but being an old fan of Ren & Stimpy and seeing how much the kids laugh at the 'potty humor', I've grown to enjoy shows like 'Flapjack' and 'Chowder' for their oddness and for the kids' happiness. We do not watch Spongebob though.
We occasionally try to wind down an evening with a little 'Franklin' or 'Magic School Bus'...nice, wholesome cartooning!
In the past, I've introduced them to 'Wacky Races', 'Josie & The Pussycats' and 'Spiderman (70's)'. I'm planning on introducing 'Pinky & The Brain' to them soon. ;D
