TOP 10 CARTOON SHOWS OF ALL TIME!!!
January 7th 2007 01:28
WHOAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa........!!!
Okay, before we go any fervva let me clarify a cuppla things:
- We ALL know Top 10 lists are nuffin more than a lame excuse by talentless bloggers to produce some fodder for their blog.
- And we ALL know that there is NO SUCH THING as a definative Top 10 anything - it is just usually some no name bloggers ill-informed opinion. You only need to scan many of the Top 10 movie lists to realise the grim reality - that having a blog does not a credible 'expert' make.
So to avoid the risk of appearing to disappear up our own cavities or professing to somehow have a far greater insight into the subject matter than the reader the Management of joebloggsblog.net wish to point out the following aint a Top 10 anything.
Just 10 cartoons we really love.
(In no particular order)
1. The Wacky Races
Still the only cartoon you can gamble on.
As a kid I'd barrack for Peter Perfect in all his Fevola chinned glory.
As a teen a lamented his inabilty to give Penelope Pitsop the full lube job she so obviously desired.
As an adult I just love the Boulder Mobile with the Slag Brothers - Rock & Gravel.
This cartoon should be used as a training video for those about to use the Western Ring Road.
2. Scooby Doo
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me!
Ahhhh, the sweet surprise of discovering Shaggy was a kiff happy beggar 10 years after the event!
He would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids!!
3. Josie & The Pussycats
Let's face it, a poor man's version of Scooby Doo, but it was all about the hot chicks in cat suits - and while Josie seemed a little high maintenance, Melody seemed so easy!
4. Rocky & Bullwinkle
A Cold War Cartoon!
Whooda thunk it?
Teach the kiddies young we say.
Special Mention: Fractured Fairytales - great reworkings.
5. Ren & Stimpy
If only for introducing leiderhosen & fart gags into mainstream cartoons.
Fake ads & Powdered Toast Man.
Who could ask for more?
6. Catanooga Cats
The hosts were so-so, bordering on plain - as a kid already hooked on the geniuos for Ed Roth and Von Dutch it was all about Autocat & Motormouse.
(Yeah, yeah - Tom & Jerry with cars)
Special Mention: It's The Wolf
7. Cool McCool
What an opening theme:
"See.......SeeDubbleOh.......SeeDubbleOhEll.......SeeDubbleOhEllMac.....Cool McCool!"
8. Kim Possible
A genuine Grrrl Power toon.
It only took 50 years for a decent chick cartoon.
9. Bugs Bunny Show
The daddy of them all!
Need we explain further?
9 and a half. The Simpsons
Brilliant.
9 and three quarters. South Park
It would be banned from Orble within a week!
and last but definately not least....
10. Batfink
......and Karate!!!
Arch villain Hugo A Go Go had no chance!

TRANSFORMERS: Big toy advert about giant robots (and technically a bit crap), but a hell of a lot of fun!
ROBOTECH: Introduced young Westerners to the wonderful world of big robots and Japanese animated soap opera. The first cartoon I ever saw that killed off main characters!
BATMAN - THE ANIMATED SERIES: this 90s cartoon may very well be the best version of Batman in any medium. Very faithful to the source, and often exceeding the source!
FUTURAMA - Like the Simpsons. But funnier.
SAMURAI JACK - One of the great recent cartoons. Samurai gets thrown into the future by a demonic enemy. Quite experimental and unusual for a kid's cartoon.
So many more... I could list so many toy-based 80s properties, but I must refrain.

Great calls all!
He-Man was bonza.
What was the name of the two embrio rubber things.
Gloop & Oop?
Dubble D,
You've got J&PCs written all over you.
NatMah,
The Trannies went alright. Do you remember G-Force?
They were old skool (that is such a bashworthy saying) trannies.
Everybody tells me Futurama is funnier than the Simmos but I just haven't connected with the characters (that is also a bashworthy Magaret Pomeranz comment)
Greeny, my tree hugging mate, I loved Speed Racer.
Mind you I never understood why Racer X could never tell Speed Racer he was really his brother.
Even Tim Costello knows Peter is his bro!

As for the Simpsons and Futurama, well... Simpsons, at its peak I think was better. That peak was for me some time ago, and I barely even bother to catch new episodes any more. Futurama still cracks me up.
I must also give props to Astroboy. He was awesome.
