And don't forget:
I'm surprised the Boomerang channel hasn't been showing Magilla Gorilla (at least to my knowledge.) They do run an occasional Richochet Rabbit, along with a bunch of other obscure Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

I can't stand Boomerang. From what I've seen it hardly ever plays old classic cartoons. It always plays weird ones that I've never heard of!

Weird ones you've never heard of a cheap. Bugs and friends still draws a long dollar, I'd wager.

They do have Johnny Quest on every night, but I'm not so crazy about Josie and the Bob Costascats in Outer Space or The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan. 
edit: the board filter doesn't like Josie and her band either, I guess.
Looney Tunes are expensive. Even though a company I know owns the pre-1949 films, Warner Bros. still owns the characters. Turner bought Hanna-Barberra lock, stock and drawing desk in the 90s, so no such problems there. Most of the CN's "classic era" toons (Dexter's Lab/PPG/etc.) were actually made at HB.
I had Magilla Gorilla slippers when I was a kid.

Are you kidding me? We used to watch that well into adulthood. I even have a friend we used to call "Creto" after The Baron's chauffeur.
Boomerang was running episodes of The Banana Splits a while back...the writers of that show had to be on drugs.
They also run old episodes of Thundarr. Best. Knockoff. Heman. Evar.

If the Banana Splits writers were on drugs, then the HR Pufinstuff writers were the dealers. Now THAT was a weird show.
Who here remembers the Bugaloos?
Who heard the song in their head when the read that?

Sid and Marty Croft were behind all three shows, which explains why they all had the same amount of insanity.

I do believe Thundarr came first.
Yep. Wikipedia shows thundar starting in 1980 and He-Man in 1983.
Thundarr was a Conan copy and Ookla was a low rent wookie knock off.

Way too many of the old toons are victims of PC-madness. If you remember the WWII-era Bugs Bunny and Popeye, you know what I'm talkin 'bout.

Oh, yeah..you're right about the PC stuff. There's a reason nobody broadcasts "Heckle & Jeckle" anymore. I don't even know which company owns them anymore..
I think that Krazy Kat was pretty much blacklisted in the '60's - too much bomb throwing or Ignatz came out of the closet, I can't remember... I was a little kid at the time. All I knew was that someone dropped the ban hammer on Krazy Kat.
next time you are at Wal mart, check out the $1 dvd's in the impulse buy racks at the checkout counters.. my mom has a whole pile of dvd's that she got there with all sorts of good old fashioned violent and racist cartoons- most of it i've never heard of, but there is Popeye and even Tom and Jerry and Loony Tunes and stuff like that from the pre-WW2 era.
my 2 and 4 year old nieces love watching them even more than Dora the Explorer..

They had to put him to sleep.
