http://best.complex.com/lists/the-50-greatest-saturday-morning-cartoons

I haven't gone through all of them yet, but there are some memories there for those of us who got up early on Saturday for them.

[Sam I Am]

Two cartons into the list made the list a complete fail.

I quit after this one.

#49: Hammerman

http://cdn.best.complex.com//assets/images/lists/saturday-cartoons/300x300/Hammerman_2.jpg

Channel: ABC
Creator: DiC Entertainment
Saturday Run: 1991

A year after becoming a worldwide pop rap sensation with his third album, Please, Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em, MC Hammer answered all the critics who called him a cartoonish, dancing-*** sellout…by starring in this Saturday morning cartoon, in which he played a youth center worker who transforms into the superhero Hammerman whenever he dons magical anthropomorphic dancing shoes. OK, so maybe it was a bit of a minstrel show, but we were kids, it featured live-action and animated Hammer, and we wanted to get our hands, eyes, and ears on anything he put out, no matter how many times he told us, “U can’t touch this!

TMNT is #1? Pssshhhh...

[theogt]

Wow, they put together quite the terrible ranking.

[joseephuss]

Further proof that kids are dumb.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I loved Fat Albert, Bugs Bunny, Scooby and Superfriends when I was young.

[big dog cowboy]

I was disappointed with that list.

[bbgun]

Way too much **** from the 80s and 90s. Whoever compiled it must be under 30.

[theogt]

Way too much **** from the 80s and 90s. Whoever compiled it must be under 30.80s was pretty much the golden era for kid's cartoons.

[BanditHiro]

80s was pretty much the golden era for kid's cartoons.

no it wasn't

[StevenOtero]

Can't argue with Batman: The Animated Series

[TheEnigma]

My personal favorites from the list are TMNT, Doug, Animaniacs, Darkwing Duck, TMNT, and Batman. However, I have not watched, or do not recognize many names on that list.

I do not see how Looney Toons is not #1 though. I feel like that is a no brainer.

[rkell87]

im a cartoon guy from anything that was on in the 80-00s and after 35 i knew maybe 4 of them

[CliffnMesquite]

80s was pretty much the golden era for kid's cartoons.

Not even close. That would be the 60's! :)

[AmarilloCowboyFan]

IMO, #1 Looney Tunes, #2 Animaniacs.

That Hammer show shouldn't even be in the top 50. That's ridiculous.

I guess we're about the same age, that'd be exactly my list as well.

[Arch Stanton]

No Wacky Races, Secret Squirrel or Deputy Dawg? :confused:

[bbgun]

My avatar was similarly unamused.

[ABQCOWBOY]

This might be the single worst top anything list I've ever seen.

Just horrible.

[ABQCOWBOY]

My avatar was similarly unamused.

No kidding BBGun. You should be down right pissed.

[ABQCOWBOY]

No Disney Stuff, Mickey, Goofy, any of that stuff. Rocky and Bullwinckle, Transformers, Jetsons, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye,Johnny Quest, Flinstones, Space Ghost, Huckleberry Hound, The Pink Panther, Yogi Bear, Quick Draw McGraw, Speed Buggy, Hong Kong Phoey, Heckel and Jeckel, Betty Boop I mean, I could go on. :laugh2:

This doesn't even include the things like Family Guy, Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, The Tick the Simpsons, great cartoons like those. I am also including some of the very best Cartoon Characters, such as Bugs Bunny, Sylvester The Cat, Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Leghorn Foghorn, Road Runer, Wiley Coyote, Elmer Fudd, all of those, which is not really correct, into Loony Tunes.

So many better options that could have been considered.

[BadWolf]

No Disney Stuff, Mickey, Goofy, any of that stuff. Rocky and Bullwinckle, Transformers, Jetsons, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, Flinstones, Space Ghost, Huckleberry Hound, ...

Since when does Family Guy, King of the Hill, and Simpsons come on Saturday morning?

[ABQCOWBOY]

Since when does Family Guy, King of the Hill, and Simpsons come on Saturday morning?

Since never. Obviously why I qualified the statement with "This doesn't even include the things like "

[bbgun]

Since never. Obviously why I qualified the statement with "This doesn't even include the things like "

Also, Flintstones was a primetime cartoon.

[ABQCOWBOY]

Also, Flintstones was a primetime cartoon.

Incorrect. The Flinstones were a primetime cartoon up till 66 and then moved over to Saturday morning syndication.

Also, forgot about the Archie's and Groovy Gollies.

I was talking about first-run. Lots of things get moved in syndication.

Yet Hammerman makes this list? :lmao: :lmao2:

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Why would it include things that dont fit the criteria?

[Aikmaniac]

IMO, #1 Looney Tunes, #2 Animaniacs.

That Hammer show shouldn't even be in the top 50. That's ridiculous.

Definitely my top two as well.

Loved the Animaniacs.

My wife LOVES Scooby Doo. I hate that show (and its meddling kids) with a passion.

Someone should be shot for even suggesting #11. Bludgeoned. Stabbed. Hanged. Drowned. Shot.

Wait. Did I say 'shot' twice? Yes I did, didn't I?

Good.

[QT]

Horrible list.

Dungeons and Dragons that low? Come on, that was one of the best cartoons on Sat.

[bbgun]

You gotta admit: Daphne had it goin' on.

Nope, I don't recall seeing it in the list.

[locked&loaded]

you have him dead to rights there

[Little_Roloff]

The best Saturday morning cartoon of all time was the Weekenders! I used to watch it every Saturday back in 2001 and around there. A funny, smart, entertaining show with great characters. Tino Tonitini ftw!

[SaltwaterServr]

You can't forget Captain Caveman!

http://www.stopmikelupica.com/images/captainCaveman1.jpg

Yet Hammerman makes this list? :lmao: :lmao2:

One of my favorites there. I did like The Littles as well because they had all of those Rube Goldberg type contraptions.

Another of my favorites, yeah, a child of the 80's cartoons for sure...

I guess we're about the same age, that'd be exactly my list as well.

I'm 24, which means I did almost all of my cartoon watching in the 90's.

:laugh2:

[rynochop]

Is it appropriate that they are running a Hennessy Black ad during this list. ha

[Hostile]

I haven't looked at the list because I cannot think of 50 cartoons. I have only liked a few in my life. In no particular order.

Looney Toons
HR Puff & Stuff
Johnny Quest
Hong Kong Phooey
Tom & Jerry
Popeye
Underdog
The Jetsons
The Flintstones
Scooby Doo
Fat Albert
Superfriends

[bbgun]

Can't overlook Schoolhouse Rock, either.

nm, didn't see Yogi Bear in the list the first couple times. :)

[ZeroClub]

Johnny Quest was my favorite. Looney Tunes were great. Bullwinkle, Sherman, Fractured Fairy Tails were high on the list too. Fred and Barney were great, of course.

I also remember watching The Beatles cartoon series. It was rather lame, but I liked the accents and music.

I also watched Speed Racer, Davey and Goliath, and Gumby. Not sure if they count as cartoons, though.

I found the HR Puff & Stuff theme song very annoying.

[Doomsday]

Tom and Jerry at 32?

No Popeye, Johnny Quest, He-Man, Flintstones, Jetsons or Space Ghost to name a few of my favorites that should be on the list.

Terrible list!
