Cartoons that no-one ever seems to recall

Prince Planet anyone?

Perhaps I'm getting old? Let me rephrase that, I know I'm getting old, particularly when you start citing old cartoons that no-one else seems to have any recall whatsoever of.

Just last week, the topic of conversation turned to classic cartoons - and all the usual suspects started to come to the fore, when I mentioned Prince Planet . . .

Deathly silence.

OK then I retorted, what about Ruff n Ready?

. . . looking for the trifecta I threw in Couragous Cat and Minute Mouse - and viola - three lemons, give the man a cupie doll!

Admittedly some of the crowd were only in their mid-20s - so the concept of Heckle and Jekyl, McGilla Gorilla and Marine Boy was beyond their years, but surely the 40-somethings among them could have at least given me moral support, afterall was I the only one watching these cartoons on the box back when . . . ?

I did notice the typo in the ad since it spells my name instead of Barbera. Never heard of these cartoons. Hell I'll still watch cartoons now. I did get excited when I found out that The Smurfs were coming out on DVD.

I loved Magilla Gorilla, but I'd have to say my favourites were the following: The Aristocats, Fearless Fly and Milton The Monster. I wish Foxtel would put these on. They defined my childhood.

Well I did spend quite a bit of time with Scoob, Bullwinkle, and Pink Panther as a kid, but also with Underdog and others. I was not particularly fond of the Flintstones (Fred reminded me too much of my dad with his 5 o'clock shadow. We did however have a car that had to be stopped by putting your foot out the driver's door and skid on your shoe tread to stop--this is not a joke).

My sister's favorite was a dopey one: Baggy Pants and the Nitwits. She sang the themesong for years. Ouch.

My favorite still is Bugs and all the Looney Tunes.

But I have a special place for the Tick, Animaniacs, Space Ghost, Freakazoid, even Spongebob, and any cartoon that has a tongue in cheek attitude.

I CANNOT STAND Ed,Edd, and Eddy. The worst cartoon on this earth, and it's still on. Everybody screams at full throttle all the time on this show.

Was never a big Smurf fan - and to be honest it was probably well after my time. But I do have a soft spot for them - an old girlfriend gave me a small plastic surfer smurf - which I still have . . . . somewhere?

Cheers

Fearless Fly and Milton the Monster - they were cool. Who would have ever come up with the concept of a fly having super powers - but only when he put on his special glasses? Go figure.

Good call!
