The Go Go Gophers had the greatest theme song. It was right up there with "Stop the Pidgeon!"

My favorite cartoon theme song was for the early Scooby Doo episodes. It sounded like a real 1960's pop hit. In later episodes, it was redone and sounded just plain silly to me. Would "H.R. Pufnstuf" fit in this category as a cartoon, even though it was people in costumes? If that wasn't inspired by pot, I don't know what was.

Re: There's no need to fear. Underdog is here!

I cannot recall Simon Bar Sinister's flunky's name.

I think it was Cad. remember Riff Raff as well. I love this thread. Reminds me of when cartoons were entertaining. As we speak, my son is watching Scooby Doo (speaking of classics).

Watching reruns of old Bugs Bunny cartoons... there's a lot of adult humor in those classics. I saw an episode where a big dog was dragging his rear end on a carpet. He stops for a second, looks at the audience and says, "I could get to like this!" Hilarious!

Alot of those old cartoons had the creators try to get things by the censors.In one war time Daffy Duck cartoon there is a picture of a "cartoon" Naked Pin-up on the wall of a German Trench.Daffy gets kissed by Mada Hahri and his body becomes erect and horizonal.Then his body goes limp and it trickles like a river down a staircase into a pool.
The original Tweety had no color at all and the censors accused Warners of showing a naked character.The studio added yellow to the bird,called the yellow feathers,and everything was then okay! 😛

I remember a Popeye cartoon where Olive Oyl reaches down the front of her dress to her crotch and pulls out Popeye's can of Spinach

Lots of great memories here. I've watched cartoons for going on 47 years now, and I still enjoy them.

I, too, love The Duck! (Woo hoo!) and basically anything Looney Toons.

But the thing that used to make me howl, and still does when I can find it

Fractured Fairy Tales!

An oldie but a classic

Mind if I go back a little further? Max Fleischer's 1938 GULLIVER'S TRAVELS was great! Also, his earlier cartoons POPEYE MEETS SINBAD THE SAILOR and POPEYE MEETS ALI BABA (both 1933 if memory serves) with their layered, glass painted backgrounds and miniature sets giving everything a 3-D look were well ahead of their time.

Yeah, and his Superman cartoons were what Batman: The Animated Series was based on...well, the artwork and animation, anyway. In the book that talks about DC ("DC Comics: A Celebration of the world's favorite heroes"), they mentioned that no cartoon had that quality again , until computers were used to animate things.

And man...Superman (from the animated series, the "world's finest" episodes, the "batman/superman adventures" and JL) looks alot like Fleischer's Superman (a bit more detail, but not too much..)

But yeah, those Popeye cartoons were good...that giant bird that Sinbad had was cool..that really had a 3-d look to it when it was flying over the water in circles.
