  We have discs of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Popeye that we got free somewhere and the kids love them. I also bought a DVD of Fat Albert and it lives in the basement DVD player. When I send them down to clean up their toys, I have to take the disc away or they'll get nothing done! And I torture my husband with Gumby, from time to time. I don't know if he counts as a cartoon, as such.

need I remind everyone of Thundercats?

I actually miss quite a few. G.I. Joe, Thundercats, Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse.

I also loved Star Blazers, with that Japanese battleship floating around in space fighting the Gamelons or whatever they were called. That thing kicked ass. Probably the only kids cartoon I know where they regularly killed off characters.

  edit: oops - wrong place, meant to reply to Legbamel
  
  No one seems to remember Star Blazers either, more's the pitty.
  
  From wikipedia:
  
  " changes included Westernisation of character names, reduction of personal violence, toning down of offensive language and alcohol use, and removal of sexual fan service and references to World War II although the sunken battleship ruins were still identified as the Yamato in dialogue. Many fans nonetheless regard it as more "adult" than other cartoons shown in the US at the time, as personal tragedy, funeral scenes for fallen comrades and the extinction faced by humanity were left intact. The very Japanese theme of "the honorable enemy" was also a tremendously important aspect of Desslok's character development in the second and third seasons, as well as in the later movies."
  
  And this was a kids show on Saturday morning cartoons! It was so awesome. WW2 battlships vs aliens. What could be better?

  kdawg, I know what you are talking about. It's been a hell of a long time since I've seen it, but I remember Star Blazers.

  I remember Star Blazers, though I don't believe the third series was ever shown in the United States. It was very popular with my friends and I around 1979-1980.

Apparently, no one remembers my favorite cartoon - the Shmoo. He was a white blob that could turn into anything, sort of an uber-Scooby. I used to love that show when I was little.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Shmoo is the wikipedia entry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYT3zezajOM&feature=related YouTube has a Shmoo commercial. I knew I wasn't imgining it!

  It offered a full serving of fine 70s cheese, but the Shmoo was so cute and goofy. It was better than Captain Caveman.

  Legbamel, I kinda remember the Shmoo. Seeing the video brought back a couple of memories about it. I don't remember much though.
4. 2/21/08
  
  IanThal
  
  Shmoon originated in Al Capp's "Lil' Abner" comics back in 1948. They were meant as social satire. The 1970s television incarnations missed the point entirely.

  Felix the Cat goes all the way back to the silent era-- he premiered in film shorts back in 1919! He's been around longer than Betty Boop!
2. 2/21/08

  Actually Ian I have been told he was one of the first cartoons. I could not help but mention him because I still remember the black and white cartoons. I am not that old 1919?? but my childhood memories are still vivid. My father, who passed away recently, was named Felix so I guess that also played a role in my choosing it.

He-Man, She-Ra and Transformers.

And if it counts, the original Sesame Street, when Jim Henson was still alive.

[reply]
1. 2/21/08
  
  IanThal
  
  Yeah, but the brilliant Jim Henson and his puppeteers had nothing to do with the animated sequences. Though I must say the cartoons that were part of Sesame Street were oft-times positively the most avant-garde stuff on television--and probably my earliest exposures to free jazz, acid rock, and Hindustani classical music. Did you know that Grace Slick did the vocals for the "Number Spies" sequences?
2. 2/23/08
  
  legbamel
  
  I purposely sought out a Sesame Street video (for my kids, of course) that had the pinball sequence on it. It's oddly satisfying to have my whole family singing that song, of a Saturday morning.

  Josie and the Pussycats were my favorite too. I wanted to be Josie. Didn't she have a skunk-colored hairdo?
2. 2/22/08
  
  IanThal
  
  No, Alexandra Cabot was the one with the skunk hair-do. In the TV series she was always trying to sabotage their career, even though her brother, Alexander was the band's manager-- mostly because she wants to be the star of the band and she wants Josie's boyfriend. Still they keep her around.
3. 2/22/08
  
  IanThal
  
  One thing that should be noted: Josie and the Pussycats was the first television cartoon to feature an African American character in the main cast-- that was a feature of the comic book on which the show was based.

  She-ra was a spin off of He-man. I'd really like the original He-man series to come out of DVD. (I think it's available in France, but I like in the USA. T.T )
  
  The Raccoons would be nice, too. I don't remember the series, really, but I've been told I was really into it when I was little. I'd like to see it and see if I can remember.
3. 2/23/08
  
  legbamel
  
  Translation: If you thought He-Man was crap, wait 'til you see She-Ra. [gak]
  
  I had a friend who thought that the rest of us were pulling her leg and had made up the Smurfs for some obscure sort of cruel joke. Then, Burger King offered tiny Smurfs with their kids' meals and suddenly they kept showing up in front of our door.

What about "Foofur"? Remember him? He lasted like one season around the same time ALF had his cartoon. He was a big blue dog from the hood. He was like Clifford's urban relative. He hung out with shady characters and may have frequented a junk yard. In short, he was the man.
