I feel sorry for children nowadays. The cartoons in the 70s were magic, today you get crap.

This will always be the all-time best Saturday morning show. If I had to watch what they show on Saturday mornings now, I'd grow up to be a serial killer.

So many comments about cartoons being crap today. When we (people born in the seventies like me) were kids, we didn't have cartoon network, or 800 channels to choose from for that matter. We had three or four channels. NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX which was just beginning. Even cable TV only had about 30 channels with one HBO, Showtime, TMC, Cinemax, and Disney channel. I think only the best was aired So much compitition out there has watered down TV. Good cartoons are few and far between.

Whoa, yeah. And what an awkward cut to that from what I assume was the work of Freleng's unit in 1960? It sure wasn't Jones's.

Of course the focus is humor. And animation is a huge part of the humor. The difference between good and bad animation is often the difference between a laugh and a dead silence. And no, animation doesn't have to be smooth or even attractive to be funny (like Beavis and Butthead), but it has to be tailored to fit whatever it's trying to get across. If it isn't, and if it's just full of shortcuts and unskilled cheats, then it's going to deplete the writing no matter how funny it is.

1 person must have slept in on Saturday mornings :(

Reminds me of Saturday mornings in front of the TV with a big bowl of Cap'n Crunch,Froot Loops or any other high-octane sugary cereal and enjoying being a kid. Those were some great times back in the days.

Great! Brings back a lot of happy memories. I agree with other posts here stating how bad Saturday morning TV is today. Sure glad I was a kid back then.

I really enjoy all the doucher's below that were worried about the animation!The focus of any cartoon starring Bugs and the rest of the gang is humor,Beavis and Butthead are terrible to look at but funny the same goes for South Park.The old Pink panther shows and episodes were not so good animation but the damn show was funny,humor is key.Japanimation is the same amount of retarded as Godzilla or mothra,stupid plot's and never funny,I've never seen a funny Japanese cartoon,has anybody?

@wileyk209zback It's no surprise that they're no longer in operation.

[wileyk209zback]

@jstephenj Yep, and unfortunately, many of the 1967-1969 WB cartoons made by Bill Hendricks' crew had that Filmation look and feel to them!

@wileyk209zback filmation was a terrible studio. rotoscoping and redundant animation frames, oftentimes in the same episodes.
