I knew Laff-A-Lympics wasn’t the right show, but I thought it was Wacky Races. But I think Dastardly and Muttley and Penelope Pitstop also had their own show. All those shows kind of run together in my mind, these 30-something years later.
I had a crush on Penelope. She had her own spinoff, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.
Yeup, this is true.
I also loved any super-heros.
Among them Super-President, which wins the award for weirdist super-hero concept.
The Galaxy Trio, a kind of low-rent mix of Space Ghost and the Fantastic Four.
Tangent, I hope you haven’t mentioned these yet, I do so want to not invalidate you.
Cable started carrying Star Blazers, Battle Of The Planets, & Robotech.
I liked Land Of The Lost, though. Better written.
Now I understand your confusion. Penelope Pitstop did have her own spinoff show, as did Dastardly and Muttley.
You may have thought about Laff-A-Lympics because the lead villian and his dog (The Dread Baron and Mumbly) bore an unmistakeable similarity to Dastardly and Muttley.
I thought Wacky Races was just a video game, but it was a show: Wacky Races - Wikipedia
Many of mine were already mentioned, but I have to give a shout out to Hilarious House of Frightenstein. I was creeped out and entertained at the same time.
I have very dim memories of a cartoon about a group of people in an Airship being chased about by some villianous element. Does anyone remember anything like this?
This is from the 60’s as an airplane nut I was overcome by Sky Hawks, nothing but stories and adventures featuring airplanes and flying.
Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show–#1 always and forever!
Wacky Races–I actually used to keep track of who won the races!
Dastardly and Muttley
Banana Splits–I loooooved me some Arabian Knights!!! Plus, it’s currently being rerun on the Boomerang channel!
“Size of a rhinoserous!”
Oh my God!! I completely forgot that ever existed. Suddenly it all comes rushing back to me - the wolfman DJ, the ugly witch cook, the Frankenstein monster that never animated, Super-hippie. AHHH! the horror! The horror!
Rocky and Bulwinkle and Friends usually came on first where I lived. Most of the other shows I watched have been named. The morning usually ended on a high note with THe Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show. Some others:
Garfield and Friends (might have been early 90s)
Go-Bots
Tranformers
Grape Ape
Alivin and the Chipmunks
Heathcliff
The Real Ghostbusters
This was for legal reasons, as Heather-Quigley Productions co-owned the rights to Dastardly and Muttley, so Hanna-Barbera had to create similar, but legally different, characters.
Sounds like the Around the World in 79 Days segments from Cattanooga Cats.
And no, I never actually watched the show. I just happened to have read about it one day, and I caught a glimpse of the show on Boomerang last year.
That one was from the late 1980s.
Nope, you’re good.
I remember the first time I saw that and I couldn’t understand why Gilligan was in space. (I was very young)
And The Lost Saucer blew my mind. Gomer Pyle had become an android flying a spaceship. :eek:
There was a live-action “Ghost Busters” in the 1970’s, before the movie came out. I seem to be the only one that remembers it, but the Internet has confirmed it existed: The Ghost Busters - Wikipedia
I can still remember the tune and parts of the theme song.
I remember it, it had the pair from F-Troop and a gorilla that was a guy in a gorilla suit. I think it was by the same people that did the Far out Space Nuts, they were just recycling hasbeens from the 60s.
