Great Saturday Morning Cartoons

1. Bugs Bunny

Oh, what a rascal, that Bugs Bunny! Imagine a world without his witty quips and carrot-chomping charm. From the moment he hopped onto our screens, he redefined what it meant to be cool. He was more than just a rabbit; he was a symbol of cleverness and resilience, always outsmarting his foes with a sly grin and a “What’s up, Doc?” It’s like he knew the secret to life was a good laugh and a quick escape. The way he navigated those Looney Tunes landscapes, always one step ahead, showed us that even in the craziest situations, a little humor goes a long way.

Think about it, Bugs was a master of disguise and a smooth talker. He could charm his way out of any predicament, and we loved him for it. His nonchalant attitude and ability to break the fourth wall made him feel like a friend, someone we could always count on for a good time. Experts often note the enduring appeal of Bugs’s anarchic spirit and his ability to subvert expectations. He embodied a certain kind of playful rebellion that resonated with audiences of all ages, making him an icon. His ability to always come out on top, with a quick wit and a clever plan, is a testament to his lasting appeal.


one of my favorites Cartoons..!

As I got older, I started to notice the sacasm and humor that only adults would likely get and appreciate; as I child, they were a funny comment or joke that I did not get.

Starblazers (in USA)

I believe it was originally called “Space Battleship Yamato” in Japan.

We had a number of awesome anime in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Most were not directly transcribed from their original Japanese sources… in many cases they were modified to fit American sensibilities and schedules.

Excuse me, some of want some FUN and want a break from Politics, Religion, and other controversial matters. :D =D>

Now you are looking like ConfedSS here, Saxi. :D :lol: :D But you forgot to use INCOMPLETE sentences...and you left out NUMEROUS and...........excessive.............inclusion of ..........long ellipses.

and:
use the ominous ‘Boomer ellipses’: ‘Insane at best’

......

When typing a large paragraph, older adults might use what has been dubbed “Boomer ellipses” — multiple dots in a row also called suspension points — to separate ideas, unintentionally making messages more ominous or anxiety-inducing and irritating Gen Z.

No, I would rather have you explain Trump's economic policies. That would be FUN!

Tell us how fun it is, when ordinary working class families open up the mail and see thousands of dollars gone from their 401k retirement plans. Or, see prices skyrocket almost overnight when they grocery shop.

How about our farmers who now see their market share disappear.

Wall Street is sure having fun since Trump walked into the White House January 20th.


Recession is heading our way and the Oligarchs will get their over 4 trillion dollar tax cuts.



Trump said, “To the many investors coming into the United States and investing massive amounts of money, my policies will never change. This is a great time to get rich, richer than ever before!!!”


Let's have fun watching an unelected billionaire tear apart the safety net from underneath millions of struggling Americans.

BRACE FOR IMPACT! The fun is starting right before our eyes!

... Anyways, I see no mention of Gargoyles. That was one of my favorite shows, along with DBZ (both still are, TBH).

I used to like Batman, but getting more immersed into the comics, lore, etc, he fell off hard for me. Both main universe comics version, and the DCAU version. Comics, he's a pretentious jerk, emotionally stunted as a brick, writers always make him "right", and a horrific guardian to kids.

DCAU version is fanfiction mary sue/gary stew that was given an animated platform. And is still a pretentious jerk.

Jason Todd though (second Robin, current Red Hood), he became my favorite. Watch Under the Red Hood animated film, its standalone, and one of DC's best animated films.

Here is an interesting entry:

Captain Planet and the Planeteers
Program creators: Ted Turner, Barbara Pyle
Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Gaia, the spirit of the planet, assembles a diverse team of "planeteers," who are able to combine their powers to summon an elemental warrior that takes on the appearance of superhero Captain Planet. He works with the planeteers to defend Earth from pollution caused by criminals and villains. As the show's theme song says, Captain Planet is "gonna take pollution down to zero" by defeating the villains, who include the likes of Hoggish Greedly, Dr. Blight and Looten Plunder. The animated series was co-created by media mogul Ted Turner, a noted environmentalist.



and do NOT FORGET:
The Bugs Bunny Show
Program creators: Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson


Bobby's World
Program creators: Howie Mandel
Before he was bald (but after he was already a germaphobe freak), Howie Mandel created and voiced the lead character in Bobby's World, a cartoon about a precocious 4-year-old with a hyperactive imagination. He was comparable to a kinder, gentler, original version of Family Guy's Stewie

Sometimes you just need something fun to break the routine — games, puzzles, challenges with friends.

I was watching the 'Time Team' report on the reconstruction of the Sutton Hoo ship, and it made me remember one of my old History professors (he was a fanatic about Sutton Hoo and practically kidnapped me when I mentioned I'd bought the standard book about it, which was slightly more up-to-date than his copy).
He was a fairly humourless type, but he once said that another professor, who he thought was wrong, was 'two hydes short of a virgate'.
I hope he's still around to see the Time Team thing.

NP; I did. I was merely pointing out TWO mistakes made by silly Ralph in the SAME post, one minor and the other one a CLEAR violation. Was the "Warner Brothers employee" speaking of ralph? It appears so.

As much as I enjoyed bugs bunny, I got the most enjoyment out of Disney cartoons, specifically the ones with Donald Duck.

Also, the goofy instructional videos with the butler sounding narrator, That are still relatable today.
