1980's Saturday Morning Preservation & Recreation Society FRIDAY POLL #9 - BEST CARTOON OF 1981

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Just a quick poll for Friday, since I'm still nursing my daughter back to health after having her tonsils and adenoids removed yesterday (OUCH), but I had this poll half-way created before I stopped so why not post it?

Due to a 2-way tie for second place in our last Friday Poll which was to determine the Best Cartoon in the 1981 NBC Saturday Morning Line-Up, we'll have an odd number of entrants in determining this poll:
[Poll #1928406]

Remember that if you don't actually have any memories of watching any of these shows you can feel free to vote for the one you think sounds the awesomest :)

I'm going to go with Thundarr here purely on the notion that "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show" was actually a show of 1960-something, and that by this time they were already starting to hack the cartoons up.

Not as bad as they would later, but still. Guh.

Thundarr was new at the time. :)

Agree'd! I think most of the Looney Tunes votes are made through the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia, with no recollection of 8-minute cartoons being trimmed down to 3 or 4 minutes in the name of "Protecting The Children" from violence, racism and humor.

Ouch ouch ouch, hope the kidlet heals up soon!

It's also painful to have to pick between Spidey and Thundarr but I gotta go with the latter. My conscience won't allow otherwise.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH-YI!

I hated having to choose between Super Friends and Thundarr. It's like choosing between chocolate and strawberry ice cream. Just not fair, you know.

So, I went with Super Friends 'cause I've loved them always, but seeing as Thundarr is ahead in votes...I'm good with that, too. Loved me some Thundarr.

It was hugely close for me between the Thundarr the Barbarian and the Bugs Bunny Road Runner show. I opted for Bugs, but it was a close close call.
