What we forgot Jamie the android so quickly?

Also call me crazy but I liked Jonathan Winters in M&M.  
And along with the original scrappy doo, the scrappy doo (two?) of Scooby Doo was Flim Flam from 13 ghosts of scooby doo (or do spin offs not count?).

Fact Of Life was a really hard call. I had to choose George - if only for his mullet. Another good choice would’ve been Stacey Q as Cinnamon!

But Cinnamon was just on for a couple of episodes. I’m gonna have to vote for Pippa. Adding an Australian exchange student absolutely reeks of desperation.

Perhaps, but they _started_ with him and then phased him out–the opposite of most Crappy Scrappy Doo situations.

Meanwhile…

The Scrappy Doo of _Itchy and Scratchy_ was Poochie.

(Reaching way back in memory here)  
The Scrappy Doo of [can’t remember title, some cartoon about a dog that lost its boy and was all about him finding him] was Glider, the-I-shit-you-negative flying dog (with Dumbo ears, no less).

The Scrappy Doo of the Smurfs were the little kid smurfs–what were they, Smurflings? Junior smurfs? Bite sized smurfs?

I disagree. I’d have to say the Scrappy Doo of The Facts of Life was Cloris Leachman, who played Beverly when Mrs. Garret left.  
BTW what happened to Mrs. Garret, somebody told me she married some guy and went on safari in Africa. Is that right?

Sorry, gotta disagree with you here: Adam Stephens (the younger child, added in 1969, but a regular around '71 when the show was nearing the end of its run. Merely a cute ‘n’ drooly addition to the family: at least some plotlines centered around Tabitha.

I think the Scrappy Doo of “Cheers” was **Paul**. Other than being fatter than Norm and more pathetic than Cliff, I fail to see what he added to the show.

The Scrappy Doo of “Little House on the Prairie” is a toss-up between Nellie look-alike **Nancy** and Laura and Almanzo’s niece **Shannon Dougherty** , I mean, **Jenny**.
