I totally love Scooby, Superman, and WonderWoman.

And here is a question for all DRs. Who is sexier, Superman or Batman? I'm having this debate with someone.

Tom Terrific and Manfred The Wonder Dog of course!
Daffy would indeed be the real favourite of my years of viewing. I liked Sylvester and Tweetie when I was a youngster (in my thirties!) but Daffy with all his "hang ups" is brilliant.

Mr. Oz: Were Sylvester and Tweetie around when you were in your thirties?

Oh, Ann and Maya,
Hugs to you both.
Here comes the sun!

Look who I found: The karma fairy herself!

And lest we forget what the day is for--Our Vets.

Past and present, may they all be with their loved ones! How many of you got the day off because it's Veterans Day?

Anyone remember Thundar the Barbarian?? Demon Dogs!!

There was a kid's game show on every Saturday--(maybe two) that I can't remember the name(s) for. One where they had to paddle a boat to a "Island" and find clues for a treasure and the other was like a game board where you had to do weird things depending on where you landed. Anyone remember them?

I always had a thing for Batman, myself.

I probably just missed it, but has anyone mentioned Tom and Jerry - some very funny stuff there.

Still waiting on my editor. Ho and hum. I had a bagel. That was nice.

I love, love, love Scooby Doo. I also have a fond affection for Grumpy of the Seven Dwarfs...mostly because he reminds me of me.

Grumpy of the Seven Dwarfs? Oh please Jason, if he is really like you; then you are an even better actor than we already thought you were.

Well, spending the night at my friend's house definitely cheered me up a bit. She bought me butter pecan ice cream and we looked at pics of cute guys (fully clothed, mind you

) on the internet.

Thanks so much for all the good vibes, everyone! You guys really are the best...and you absolutely crack me up too! I was too busy laughing when I read last night's posts to give a thought to crying.

Hmmm....almost all of my favorite cartoon characters have already been mentioned. In addition though to Bugs, Daffy, Donald Duck, Speedy Gonzalez, Pepe le Pieu, Wil E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, Popeye, Betty Boop, Roger Rabbit, Rocky and Bullwinkle, I also love Yakko, Wakko and Dot, Mindy and Buttons, and Rita (voiced by Bernadette Peters!) from Animaniacs and Babs and Buster Bunny, Elmira, Shirley the Loon, and Baby Pluckey from Tiny Toon Adventures.

Charles--I agree with you completely about South Park! Foul-mouthed as it may be, it is one of the most unremittingly funny and socially incisive shows on TV. I've seen one episode of Kid Notorious...it was funny in spots but it grated on my nerves after a while.

Ann--good vibes to you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer--definitely Batman! No contest!

BK--any sign of the Ernst and Meltz song yet?

DR Charles Pogue here are a couple of links to the cartoons you are looking for. I can't tell from the info there if they are available in any Home Format, but at least you can get the production info there.

I just realised I never answer the question of the day... how unseemly

My favorite cartoons from childhood (and remember, most of the ones I remember are from the late 80s-early 90s) are:

1) Captain Planet - "We're the Planeteers! You can be one too! Cuz saving our planet is the thing to do! Lootin' and Pollutin' are not the way! Hear what Captain Planet has to say: 'The power is YOUUUUUURRRRSSS"

2) Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers - "Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers! Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale, when there's danger!" God what an annoying theme song!

3) Jem and the Holograms. I remember running around my house striking rocker-chick poses with my little sister and saying "Totally Outrageous" over and over and over. I'm surprised my parents didn't go insane.

That, of course, is a picture of the lovely and talented Jem and the Holograms in action.

Do any of the more "senior" members of HHW remember WINKY DINK AND YOU from mid-50s TV? You put a plastic sheet over your TV screen and drew in things for Winky Dink to use in his adventures. What a marvelous show for kids!

Oh! You were supposed to put a plastic sheet over the screen?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #71 on:** November 11, 2003, 11:22:55 AM »

LOL DR TCB, of course there was Hell To Pay when I didn't put the plastic sheet up and used a crayon on the screen!

Maya · « **Reply #72 on:** November 11, 2003, 11:23:33 AM »

DR Jennifer, at one time today you had actually surpassed me in posts and then we were tied. Something then kicked in and I went on a small posting frenzy and overtook you.

I vote for Superman. Even though Batman and Robin were probably the Ambiguiously Gay Duo. Remember that skit from Saturday Night Live?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #74 on:** November 11, 2003, 11:27:15 AM »

DR Charles Pogue - I Love to Singa seems to be available on the Looney Tunes 5 Laser Disk set, and also at EBAY under Banned Cartoons. Do a search for the title under titles and descriptions.

My Green Fedora is nowhere to be found, yet.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #78 on:** November 11, 2003, 11:35:07 AM »

JRand53, thanks for the info re: Green Fedora, I've been looking for this cartoon for twenty years, thirty years. I've only seen it once in my life but the tune has stuck in my head forever. According to one of your sources, it is on video. I Love to Singa, I've actually had for some time. Mucho thanks again. If I can track this down, my wife, who I have been convulsing with my asinine impression of this song for years, will finally get to see the source.

Ha ha. This post cracked me up. Very funny.

But Ben is like 10 posts ahead of me. He only has less than 20 to go!

Although there are some posts from last night I want to comment on.

DR Jennifer.

She is on the Clicksmiles page

Look under the 2nd pull down menu

Trave Smilies

Scroll down 'cause he has a bunch of different smiles!

There's a few other faries but I liked her best.

By the way--I did love the Bugs Operas--Who could forget? Kill the Wabbit, Kill the Wabbit! Those were GREAT!

Matt H--You parents let you NEAR the TV set? Lord, all I remember was, "Get away from that thing. It's got radiation. Bla Bla Bla."

Thank you Karma Fairy~

Hello Hainsies! Konichiwa Kimlets!

I agree with so many of the posts about favorite cartoon characters. I was a huge Scooby Doo fan as a kid, had all sorts of Scooby paraphanalia. Most all of the WB Looney Tunes group are true classics, but I've always had an affinity for Wile E. Coyote. Can't go wrong with Rocky and Bullwinkle, particularly Mr. Peabody and Sherman.

Also loved some of the not-yet-mentioned Hanna-Barbera classics like Huckleberry Hound and Quick Draw McGraw. Also the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt (anyone else remember them?). Oh, and Captain Caveman! And Grape Ape!!!

For current cartoons, I love Space Ghost. Only seen one or two episodes of Harvey Birdman, but found it freakin' funny. And, of course, South Park and The Simpsons (and, yes JMK, I did know about the Portland street names!).

TCB · « **Reply #86 on:** November 11, 2003, 11:50:34 AM »

My favorite cartoon characters were Rocky and Bullwinkle. In fact, all of the cartoons from the Jay Ward stable were great, with the possible exception of Dudley Do-Right. I found Dudley and Nell and Snidley a little annoying when I was a kid. However, all of that changed when Brendon Fraser did the film version. Dudley was still annoying, but so much easier on the eyes.

I loved Fractured Fairy Tales. One of the highlights of my young childhood was getting to meet Edward Everett Horton. When I asked for his autograph, he sat me on his lap, autographed my program, and then drew a little picture of a face that he said was supposed to be him. I still have that program.

Well I am trying the recipe tonight. I will let you know if it actually tastes anything like General Taos chicken since I am very fussy.

Also, I think it might be a long walk to D.D.O

Definately loved the Hanna-Barbera cartoons as a kid...Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, etc. And does anyone remember Hashimoto? That was my big favorite!

And though it was a different type of animation, I loved as a kid and still love as an adult the old Gumby shows!!

Maya, glad we could put a smile on your face!!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #89 on:** November 11, 2003, 11:54:02 AM »

The Batman had a more mysterious psycho-sexual aura, and he is rich, too.

I liked the song in THE GREEN FEDORA as well, it used to be on television quite often on a local channel here in Indy in the 1950's.
