Saturday Morning Cartoons

You got up, went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of your favorite cereal (sugar snaps for me) then go to the livingroom and sit on the floor in from of the TV. You are all settled and comfy for cartoons till atleast noon.

Mostly all of us did this when we were we kids. Saturday morning had cartoons on every channel from about 8am till 12pm without fail. There were the Smurfs, Dungeons and Dragons, Spider Man, Batman, The Snorks (I think, lol), Scooby Doo and his sidekick Scrappy and Shaggy, She-Rah, He-Man and many more I can't remember but I am sure loved.

My favorite was the Smurfs and Scooby Doo. Actually I still watch it all the time now! What was your favorite cartoon to watch on Saturday Mornings before they came out with these annoying bright singing and dancing not to mention everyone loves each other type of shows...

Spider Man for me. The classic cheapo one, not that godawful update from the 90s!

I don't think cartoons are voiced the way they used to be. Kinda sad.

Flintstones Creator Dies
October 11, 2006
skynews.com

The cartoon animator who designed The Flintstones and their foot-powered cars has died.

Ed Benedict was also the man behind legendary TV cartoon character Yogi Bear.

The 94-year-old died in his sleep in Auburn, Northern California.

Fellow animator David Sheldon said: "He was quite an interesting fellow, that's for sure.

"He was the main character designer for all the early Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw."

Benedict had originally worked at MGM, Universal and other studios on short, theatrical cartoons.

But he joined Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera's groundbreaking TV animation studio in the late 1950s.

Benedict created all the key characters in the Flintstones - Fred Flinststone, wife Wilma, best friend Barney Rubble and his wife Betty.

The show was billed as "the story of a modern Stone Age family".

Benedict also devised the show's eye-catching array of Stone Age gadgets, including the characters' foot-powered cars.
