1980's Saturday Morning Historical Preservation Society

Last week you all voted the first season of The Daffy Duck Show as the best thing in the NBC Saturday Morning Line-Up over a pretty impressive list of contenders such as The Flintstones, Godzilla and even BATMAN!

Today is an ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN to determine which cartoon of 1980 wa the BEST. To make things even more difficult and/or fair, I've also included the runner-up from each network so the votes can be more evenly spread. And please remember... this is for *SCIENCE*!
[Poll #1920224]

In the interest of saving myself a bit of time, I'm going to group all the Looney Tunes package shows in this one post and try to tag it accordingly.

Why? Because look at this list:

• The Bugs Bunny / Road Runner Show
• The Daffy Duck Show
• The Sylvester & Tweety / Daffy & Speedy Show
• The Bugs Bunny / Looney Tunes Comedy Hour
• The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show

Every single one of those shows was the exact same show; recycle some of the hundreds of hours of Looney Tunes cartoon shorts from the past (then) 30 years for consumption of the masses. But unlike the Hannah-Barbara repackaging hours (discussed elsewhere in this community) where they just took last year's cartoons and smashed them together to make a "Power Hour", The Looney Tunes were a special cross-over cartoon that was important to the success of Saturday mornings in general. Grammy and Grampy remembered watching the cartoons in the theaters, Mom and Dad remembered seeing them on TV as early as the 1960's, and now the kids of today had something in common with the previous generations to talk about and make everybody feel good about Saturday :)

So let's here it for Bugs and his pals! Share your thoughts, memories, and other discussion points in the comments below! Oh and hey! If this was one of your favorites? Don't forget to go and vote for it in our Best Cartoon of 1980 Poll! I *think* 1980 is the only year that will have Bugs Bunny represented, even though the Looney Tunes were a staple of Saturday Mornings all through the 1980's just because I don't have the space to list them every year :)
