What was your favorite cartoon to watch when you were a child? Saturday morning? After school?

I think we are about a week away from Rudy asking us “what was the first instrument you played,” or “what was the name of your favorite teacher?”

Who is your favorite pinsider to hate on maybe?
Good topic. I like it. I've got two for you... Even though Stern has a love affair with Marvel, a new DC Comic themed pin would be a nice change of pace.

Quoted from pinballinreno:Astro Boy
Felix the cat
Tobor the 8th man
I loved Astro Boy & Tobor the 8th man, too.
Caution: Don’t bother paying to view them as an adult. They are really bad to revisit. I did it for you.
Same with the Sid & Marty Kroft shows. Dreadful, but I loved them as a kid.
One I haven't seen mentioned yet that I always loved is ReBoot. Probably a little too niche of a market, but I think the computer theme would make a pretty sweet pin. The playfield could be designed as "Mainframe", with different sectors each triggering their own "incoming game" mode which you have to win to keep that sector from being "nullified". Solid characters, good call outs, pretty fleshed out world/mechanics to easily incorporate into a pin.

Personal favorite was Tranzor Z
Others: Thunder Cats
Spider-Man and his amazing friends- the one from 1981 with
Firestar and Iceman
Plastic Man
Speed Buggy
Captain Caveman
The Great Space Coaster- not animated but still a kids show
All the original Loony Tunes cartoons that are not politically correct
Heckle and Jeckle
He-Man
Godzilla
The Simpson’s when they were on the Tracy Ullman show back in the day
Worksop
Earliest one I remember and one of my faves was Marine Boy. Oxy gum and an electric boomerang: What more could a 7 year old want?
Wacky Races
Scooby Doo - I just liked Shaggy and Scooby, didn't care for the others.
Funky Phantom
Houndcats
Tom and Jerry
Pretty much all the old Looney Tunes cartoons.
Probably others that will come to me at 3am

Looney tunes was always a must watch..Popeye The Sailor Man and later on Iron Man, Birdman and Speed Racer (although for some reason in the late 60's - 70's Speed Racer was always on at 730am on Saturdays and I could never get up that early)

Parents didn’t let me watch TV as a kid. In school I didn’t know what they were talking about half the time.
