Top Five Friday: Saturday Morning Cartoons
A local radio show has a bit every week called Top Five Friday. They pick a topic and have you call in with your top five while presenting their own lists.
This week the topic was Saturday Morning Cartoons….
So chime in, what are your favorite bowl of sugary cereal morning memories ?

This kind of reminds me of how the House Republicans held “Snakes on a Plane” hearings on importing of exotic snakes (hearing details start at 03:40) this week rather than work on a jobs bill.
The Republicans will continue to blow their smoke and wiggle their mirrors right up to the last minute… Then they’ll blame the Democrats or the Senate for the lack of House action on President Obama’s Jobs Bill.
My oh my… Aren’t the Republicans and their supporters doing a bang up job for this country?
Snakes on a Plane… Good Grief!
Um…. and this has what do to with Saturday Morning Cartoons ?
Nada. I always loved best was the classic Looney Tunes stuff myself. Space Ghost was good by my standards of the time. What I remembered best wasn’t even on Saturday morning, which was Jonny Quest. I still watch anything that appeals to the kid in me, especially the modern superhero ones like Batman, Batman the Animated Series and Superman the Animated Series. I loved the look they went for.
Jonny Quest, Bugs Bunny (though it kind of wasn’t), Yogi Bear/Huckleberry Hound/Touche Turtle/Snagglepuss/etc. (they all count as one for me), Star Trek (intelligent sci-fi badly animated) Pink Panther, and Rocky and Bullwinkle.
1. Bugs Bunny
2. Rocky and Bullwinkle (including Fractured Fairy Tales, Mr Peabody and Sherman)
3. Road Runner
4. Super Friends
5, Snakes on a plane hearings, oops how did that get in there, I mean Spiderman.
DaGoat – Me too. R & B especially. And I was fascinated/repelled by Bugs’ foil, the little Martian, for some reason; maybe it was his Spartan attire and his completely unemotional concentration on the annihilation of his enemies.
Popeye-

Felix the Cat and Poindexter-
Weeeee
Yosemite Sam-

Bugs Bunny vs Marty Martian-
BB = Ehh what’s up doc?
MM = I’m going to blow up the earth…heh…uhh…heh heh.
Tooter Turtle-
Please Mr. Wizard, I don’t want to be a Pilot anymore….take me back…take me back…
When my phenakistoscope broke down, my most favorite cartoon became “The Humpty Dumpty Circus,” after I finished watching the test pattern, of course,
The other three? What were we talking about?
Dorian-
Historically, during several months in early to mid 1942, the Navy’s Pacific fleet had only canned spinach and beans to survive on. Apparently the Navy really liked spinach and had tons and tons of canned spinach squirreled away at the beginning of WWII. Maybe that’s how Popeye got his canned elixir, it being a long standing Navy food staple.

Can you imagine eating nothing but canned spinach and beans for months? There should have been a special service ribbon for that alone.
