Most of us probably don't watch as many cartoons as when were kids, but there's a few that we still love.
What is your favorite cartoon(s) of all time?
Got two:
Rocky & Bullwinkle
Road Runner
Speaw and magic hewmet???
"What's up, Doc? ... Who?... Franz Liszt? Never heard of him. Wrong number."
The Wildman of Wildsville

Yeah, and I almost forgot Bugs Bunny in “The Barber of Seville”. Thing is, Mel Blanc sang those parts perfectly in a cartoon-character voice. Unbelievable talent.
(Hushed voice) Leopold!
Nope,I had no idea.Russian history was never one of my strong suits.That makes "Boris Badenov" even funnier...more intellectual.
favorite but not in a good way
Clutch Cargo
Second best Russian fictional name to Premier Dmitri Kisov. (Kiss off)
Classic Looney Tunes are good, but the best was Starblazers.
If anyone knows what Starblazers was without googling it, I’ll be impressed heh.
Gotta love the original Jonny Quest (IMDb rating 8.0). The first cartoon series to air during prime time, because of its serious themes. They made an effort to use real places, to depict some realistic animals, and even gave some of the villains realistic motives.
And a LOT of villains got killed, some in pretty awful ways.
Some of the science fiction was realistic, some fantastic, and much of it plausible. Their depiction of ethnic groups was... ethnic.
And don’t forget the superb music and incidental sounds.
Even the opening credits were both scary and incredibly cool.

The banjo ending is the best. :-)
The Dover Boys of Pimento University ... good ol' PU!
Close. But backwards. GREEN ACRES was for adults. Timeless, classic, genius humor that stands up today better than anything from the '50s-'70s. It was a Matt Groenig influence in creating The SIMPSONS.
Alas, the Arnold episodes scored the biggest ratings, so the last year or so they dumbed it down a little and tried appealing more to kids.
Tom Terrific anyone?
My name is Crabby Appleton I’m rotten to the core.
Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog?
Huckleberry Hound
Yogi Bear and Booboo
Woody Woodpecker
(I’m showing my age)
Beware.
A lot of these don’t hold up like you’d expect. Can be very disappointing.
