@KrazyKartoonKid cos they are raised on mediocrity and eye candy - the technical restrictions placed on early productions made them rely on content ....dumb down crap ....and move on to the next "hot" thing -same as music. Ah well ......its called progress i believe - well i dont .
Also, don't forget that Kenny Delmar's "Senator Claghorn" voice was also the inspiration for Foghorn Leghorn of the Loony Tunes/Merrie Meoldies cartoons as well.
A cartoon may be poorly drawn and/or animated, but can still be entertaining if it's clever. That's what makes Tennessee Tuxedo and Underdog still hold up today-both are quite witty and still make me laugh. Cartoons that don't work are those that are too dull or too silly.
@zapkvr Sometimes the things that make a show classic wouldn't exactly make it good. For example, Scooby Doo is predictable, and Flintstones is boring by today's standards. This show may be drawn like crap, and kind of lame but that's exactly what I like about it. It has that weird adult swim quality. Also American animation will never have this kind of look again.
@KrazyKartoonKid Corection. This was no "classic" That would be something like Th Flintstones or Milton the monster. The Hunter was one of the lamest cartoons of all time. The animation was poor, the voice characterizations were phony the narrative was pathetic. The artwork was atrocious. How can you say this was "classic'? Seriously.
Classic! I've been looking for this for ages - thanks for posting. Ah ahm, ah say Ah Ahm - The Honnter

@bigverybadtom - And don't forget Rocky and Bullwinkle - awful animation at times, but a classic nonetheless.

@zapkvr OK, ok, fair enough. Everyone has their own opinion. But you can't say that the King and Odie or Tennessee Tuxedo was lame!

@zapkvr Why do people of today always hate on classic shows like this, huh?
