Saturday Morning Cartoons

[nobody]

The wacky racers was the one that had Muttley dog and his wheezing laughter in it, right?

Which toon had actor Paul Lindens voice as a villain and said:
" I'm going to get you Penelope Pitstop ! "

That would be The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.

Xmen anime 90's

The artwork was so-so but X-Men may be one of the best cartoons of the 20th century. The theme song is definitely one of the best of all-time in my opinion. I loved how the show would occasionally push the envelope of what should be considered 'appropriate' material for Saturday morning programming. Even something as simple as each episode's intro 'Previously, on X-Men' recap was well-done.

Ironically the theme song and the final season was the only things that i did not like about Xmen 90s anime. i agree with that the artwork was fairly ' meh" and decent.
But still to this day,.. the action sequences and plot write was still much better than the Xmen series that follow down the road, imo
i thought those like
Xmen Evolution,..
Xmen- Marvel Anime,
Ultimate Xmen,
Astonishing Xmen ... was lesser in action/plot than the 92' Xmen version ... Although it cannot be consider artful , i thought Wolverine and the Xmen was the action that i was looking for in that format

" thunder ..... thunder .... thunder ... thundercats ......Hoooooooo !! "

and I also liked Transformers too.
Always been just a brilliant idea and concept. AutoBots, Decepticons, Optimus Prime, Megatron, GoBots , Bumble Bee, and even when the Dinobots were involved.

I was shocked when I found out there would actually be a live action version of Transformers.
I just had to see how the CGI special effects would be planned for that.

it's saturday morning ..and i actually thought about this one too,

The Rise and Fall of Saturday Morning Cartoons

 

[SlammedZero]

Transformers.
G.I. Joe.
Thunder Cats.
Smurfs.
He-Man.
Popeye.

I'll take back then over anything today.

Now you are talking up my alley!!! I loved these shows as a kid! Especially Thundercats. I remember Burger King was running a Thundercats promotion back then and I would always make my parents to so I could collect the stupid little plastic collectibles. Wish I still had them.

interesting that only the Smurfs and Thunder Cats are the only ones on your list that hasn't been made into a live action film ...(yet ?)
( thunder...thunder...thunder ..thunder-cats! ..Hooooooo !).... I luuuved that intro scene !

Voltron - (Defender of the Universe) was another big hit I liked too.

Funny, I have been joking about this exact thing for a few years now! I always proclaim that Hollywood has officially ran out of ideas, so, where is my Thundercats movie? haha I know they'll screw it up but I would at least like to be entertained with an attempt.

Ok just got through the 5 pages! One cartoon I didn't notice mentioned was Heathcliff. Does anybody remember Healthcliff?
