What did you say?

There were some "real" people cartoons that rocked Jonny Quest and Speed Racer come to mind. Although I have to admit some of those toons at least in my opinion, didn't hold up the test of time. I look back at old Speed Racer and Jonny Quest and I'm like WTF was I thinking watching this crap?!? So much of it is unwatchable now.

The other thing about the smurfs is you just gotta love how their size would change pretty much at will. Proving once and for all that the creators of the Smurfs were smoking those mushrooms they were drawing. A full-grown smurf was supposed to be 3 apples high (don't ask me why or how I remember that, I just do) and yet when it was convenient, they could fit in Gargamel's pocket or climb through a mouse hole. I don't know about you, but if I've got a mouse hole 3 apples high, my ass is moving.

HRT--I will give you Johnny Quest but you must admit he would not have been worth doo doo if it weren't for Bandit. I know you remember his little ass running around and yipping at the bad guys' feet.

Are you missing out, as Nick Juniour over here has started showing shows from when I was a kid. All typical brit stuff, like Mr Benn, King Rollo and the Clangers. Maybe not cartoons, but great kids stuff still. Tracey loves Scooby Doo too, as do my friends little ones Rosie and Daisy. He's not forgotten.

HRT you absolutely, positively without a doubt, crack me up. The Snaggle Puss reference was right on time. Do you guys remember Captain Caaaaavemaaaaan!?

Oh, one more question. Are the wiggles like, well you know, umm gay?

I've watched the new cartoons with my friend's kid, and I just think to myself...what the hell is this? None of it is even remotely funny. Also note the fact that none of my friends (me included) can say the preamble of the constitution without singing it...

The only cartoon I watch these days besides Family Guy is Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Master Shake you had me at :"Twist them dirty bags!"

My sister told me when I was about 4 years old that anything that said "United Artists" at the beginning was bad and I wasn't allowed to watch it. Of course, that included practically every cartoon, so I would leave the room like a good little kid, and she would stay there and watch, laughing that she had fooled me.

That, Pete, explains everything. Now we know the root of all things deemed Incredi.

2) Captain CAAAYYYVVEEman was part of those Hanna Barbera toons that rocked this house, that house and 3 more houses further down the block.

d)Anybody remember the laff-a-lympics? The really rottens etc.
and 6) what about the real people version "Battle of the Network Stars" back before there were "friends" getting paid 89 gazillion dollars an episode and actors actually had to find part time gigs to do during the summer off season.

oh and also did anybody ever figure out how to pretend to be the six million dollar man and jump in slow motion?
-------------------------------
Wendy - 2004-08-08 16:28:49
Never ran in slow motion. But I could run fast like the six million dollar man when my big brother used to make me run while he shot at me with his BB gun. He wanted to see if he could hit a moving target. He could.......

The slow-motion movement wasn't nearly as important as making the "DO do DO do DOOO!!" sound when you did it. -- P.P.

My favorite cartoon was the Bugs Bunny episode of "kill the wabbit". I love all of the Looney Tunes though because they just drip with sarcasm. Oh, and I am a chick so I used to pretend to be Wonder Woman. (especially once I got my underoos.)
