Cartoons?

charben · Post by **charben** » 2004-01-16 11:20am

My top five:

1. Gargoyles (extremely cool, dark and complicated stuff-especially coming from Disney, also the home for out-of-work Star Trek actors)

2. Batman TAS (first in a line of excellent WB superhero cartoons, Teen Titans not included)

3. Superman TAS (great cartoon of my favorite hero with many nods to the first two Superman films)

4. Justice League (same lineage as #2 & 3)

5. Classic Warner Brothers (Bugs, Daffy, etc., my top two faves are the original Duck Dodgers and Robin Hood Daffy)

Honorable mentions include the Tick, Danger Mouse, Simpsons, South Park, Thundercats, X-Men Evolution, and Transformers (original series).

Bah, that was supposed to be a picture of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was working last night!

An aside, Earthworm Jim takes a close second (though Jim's video games suck, unlike their Ninja Turtle counterparts).

Does anyone remember the Groovy Goolies??

Looney Tunes, especially Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote
Johnny Quest. (The originals, dammit)
Scooby Doo. (Again, the Original!)
Transformers. (G1, I believe is the term?)

Then you have the others I used to watch:
HoneyHoney
Battle of the Planets (aka Gatchaman)
DracPack
The Adventures of Zorro
" " " Tarzan
The Original Batman cartoon, with BatMite. (yeah, BatMite was comic relief, but it's in the Original!)
They later were combined into The Zorro/Tarzan/Batman Hour of Power!

But still... cartoons in the 70's and early 80's were much more fun than today's.

Now Rockey and Bullwinkle, there's a cartoon you can laugh at no matter how old you are.

Yes, it is ... although I've seen too little of them to make an impression

Haha. T-Bone and Razor.

The only two cats smart enough to make a working jet fighter from a junkyard.

None of my friends remember this...but I remember it clearly

Do you remember Kum Kum

The Adventures of Kum Kum was a cartoon adventure series shown in late 1970s on ITV. It concerned the adventures of a Stone Age village during a time when there was no school, books or modern aids. Kum Kum was a small boy who with his friends Butterfly (small girl), Bumbles and Little Rock (both small boys), spent their days playing and looking for adventure. Kum Kum's father was called Strong-arm - he was the leader of the village. Kum Kum's mother was called Flora. Kum Kum had two sisters, the elder called Wild Flower and Tum Tum (sometimes called Little Tum) was the youngest member of the family. Wild Flower had romantic interests in Roman who was the son of The Wise One (see later episodes for more info). The Wise One recorded information on tablets of stone and had access to lots of reference material from that time. The Village also relied on the prophecies from Dark Eyes who would give out predictions on the future - mainly to get food and put fear into the villagers (all her predictions were totally useless of patently obvious). Kum Kum and the other kids had no respect for her whatsoever. Roman was the son of The Wise One and he had had a fall out with his father since he did not want to record information onto stone but wanted to see the world instead. Roman went away for two years to see the world before unexpectedly returning to the village. Jumbo was the brother of Little Rock. Jumbo was a huge character (almost twice the size of Strong-arm). He did all the heavy manual work. He was considered to be slow and a bit dense but he actually knew a lot about nature and especially the Cheeky Squeakies. The Cheeky Squeakies were a bunch of little red creatures who mainly played in the countryside. They were almost like an early form of Pokemon. Not sure what creatures they were supposed to be but they had some form of magic with which they helped the villagers when kindness was show towards them.
