Syndication Clarification - I *Meant* to say "Re-Run"

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

After I hit "Post" on that last one there, it occurred to me that I should clarify; please nominate those cartoons that were an essential part of your 1980's Saturday morning experience, but then you found out later in life that those cartoons were just re-runs of stuff from the 1970's or earlier. We're looking for stuff like The Laff-A-Lympics, Land Of The Lost, Grape Ape... NOT stuff like He-Man, Thundercats or Rainbow Brite.

My bad. Nominate away... there will be a poll about them soon :)

So cartoons like Looney Tunes, The Flintstones and The Jetsons could be nominated? (watched them ALL THE TIME)

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Yup! Although the Looney Tunes are already represented here with the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show... *pretty sure* I did a fan page for Looney Tunes :)

Beetle Bailey. Oh MAN. It began broadcast in 1963 and I was watching it in the 70s and 80s.

I remember that a little bit... didn't the re-package old episodes of that in to some prime-time show that had animated versions of many newspaper comic strips? I seem to remember B.C., Broom Hilda and Blondie & Dagwood in this show for some reason... TO THE INTERWEBS! THERE WE SHALL FIND OUR ANSWERS!

Okay, after consulting The Oracle, I have determined that the show I was thinking of was "Fabulous Funnies" from 1978, and Beetle was NOT a part of it. So never mind... move along :)

I have to admit: in my youth I lived by the rule of 'if it's on TV, it must be new'! As far as I was concerned, in the pre-imdb days, everything was 80s. Why I don't know. I watched the really old stuff, like the original Iron Man and Thor, both of which contained very basic animation. For me, that was just a different style.

Preparing a list of shows now.
Also, to this day, I am flabbergasted by how old 'Lady and the Tramp' is. Such high quality animation... from the 50s???
To be continued.
