The bestest sixties cartoonies that shaped your young minds

Other nominations accepted.

Or was that early 70's?

I hated them, but watched them anyway.

Adding that I DO really love Tennessee Tuxedo, though.

the seaserpent because mooseandsquirrel already had votes

Tennessee and Tom Terrific.

Wasn't he featured on Captain Kangaroo? I so looked forward to that show (in the early 60s)!

When you find yourself in danger,
When you're threatened by a stranger,
When it seems that you will take a lickin',
buk buk buk buk
There is someone waiting who will hurry up and rescue you,
Just caaaalllll for Super Chicken!
buk buk buk buk
Caaaalllll for Super Chicken!
buk-AAAK!

Gimme some Roger Ramjet!

The penguin voiced by Don Adams? His walrus pal, Chumley? The professor guy with the magic blackboard who helped them learn how to solve problems?

I always thought they were possibly the inspiration for Ren & Stimpy.

I was probably shoveling cow poop.

Race Bannon & Johnny's dad were always together. Think about it.

were on the same show. Looking at your list, it's apparent that 60's cartoons were pretty lame. I much prefer 40's & 50's toons. There were some weird, surreal Tom & Jerry's in the 60's, made by Gene Deitch if I remember correctly.

It was the times. Still, there was a lot of hidden grown-up humor in these cartoons.

Kimba the White Lion

I wasn't around to see its original run, but it became one of my all-time favorites.

:(

My four-year old grandson is crazy about SR! I've got the first two seasons on DVD. He eats it up. Of course, he has no idea that stuf is all forty-years old! :-)

If you ever get a chance to rent these on videos, it's a real kick. Very topical of the sixties cold war/beatnik era.

Anyone remember them?

Ok, I'll shut up now.

Ok, I lied.

He was and still is the coolest cartoon character ever!

I can still hear the theme song in my head. I'd love to see that cartoon again.

On both counts.

"Top Cat! - the most effectual, Top Cat - who's intellectual, close friends get to call him "T.C." Pro-vi-ding it's with dignity. ... with dignity. Top Cat! The indisputable leader of the gang. He's the boss, he's a pip, he's the championship. He's the most tip top, Top Cat."

I wonder if they have them on Netflix - I must check!

I've never seen or heard about any videos/DVDs of Top Cat. It would be great to see it again.

Whoopee - going in my queue.

I know, I got it for Xmas. I guess she really does still love me! I've only watched a couple of them so far, I'm trying to make them last, savor them. Great stuff.

It's good to know that Top Cat is available. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Top Cat
The most effec-tu-al Top Cat
Who's intellectual close friends get to call him T. C.
Providing it's with dignity
Top Cat
The indisputable leader of the gang
He's the boss
He's the VIP
He's a championship
He's the most tip top - Top Cat

Yes he's the chief
He's the king, but above everything
He's the most tip top - Top Cat!

And you got more of the theme than I did! Great. :bounce:

They were the best. I wish someone would put the entire series on DVD.

I think he appeared in some of the Quick Draw McGraw episodes. When anyone wanted information or a favor from the dog, it would point to its open mouth and go "unh, unh, unh, unh, unh". Then when it was tossed a dog biscuit it would leap into the air, hug itself, and float down in ecstasy, shouting "ummmm, ummmm, ummmm". It was hilarious to me at the time.

I vaguely recall another character named Hoppity Hooper, a frog with some kind of traveling side-show with Professor Waldo and a dumb bear that played a bugle. I think they were kind of con men cartoon characters. I don't remember if it was its own series or if it was part of another show.

I also remember a cartoon character named "Tooter the Turtle" who was always wishing that he was someone else. The King Leonardo Show was the cartoon show in which his segment appeared, I think.

And I recall something called Crusader Rabbit in about 1960, but I think it was a re-run of a very early TV cartoon show from the 1950's. There was almost no animation but just a series of still cartoon images. I think it came right after the Huntley Brinkely news show in the evening.

I always hated him as a child. I'm not sure why, but my reaction was visceral. I hated how violent it was and the fact he never talked. Beyond that, it was irrational.
