Thursday Thirteen #28-The Cartoon One

Thirteen Cartoons Sparky used to Watch Cartoons were a bigger deal in my childhood growing up on afternoons after school as opposed to Saturday morning, probably because our parents made sure that my brother and I were pretty active on Saturdays. But, some great shows still stick out in my head. 1….Laff-a-Lympics:A cartoon all star festival from the late 70s. A great mix of sports and cartoon! 2.The Superfriends: A dumb downed version of the justice league. only complaint for me were the wonder twins, who came around in later versions. A bucket of water is not going to stop an evil villian! 3.The Transformers:Later on in life I figured out it was just a big commercial for the toys themselves. 4.Spiderman:An after school ritual!! 5.The Smurfs: who knew they were around since the 60s. Though Mrs Duck always asks why there was only one girl smurf. 6.The Great Space Coaster: not necessarily a cartoon, but I dare you to not remember gary gnu or to get the theme song out of your head once you hear it. 7. The Flintstones: Yes, they were a take off on the Honeymooners. But I was a kid, how would I know anything beyond yabba dabba doo. 8.Battle of the Planets: I had to get up at like 6:30 A.M. to watch it, but as a kid, this was my favorite favorite. Reminds me of Andromeda now. 9.The Jetsons: where are my flying cars???!!?? 10.GI Joe:Another big half hour commercial, but i was a boy. So, Yo Joe! 11.JabberJaw: I just realized that i saw this one in reruns, since their is no way I would remember a cartoon from 1976. Still, who doesn't love a guitar playing shark? 12.Bugs Bunny:A classic! A necessity for every child growing up. Though I was a huge fan of the Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny combo episodes. "I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm a wealthy miser!"-Daffy 13.Family Guy: The one cartoon I still watch now. Mrs Duck hates it, but I can get her to watch for Stewie. Don't Forget about the Book Giveaway thats on the little sidebar and I hope these cartoons brought back some memories! Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.
