Thought I'd try placing my favorite "Teen Wolf" cartoon.

Teen Wolf-Under My Spell by saitlion |

My dad was a Navy officer so I grew up near a Navy Base with friends that were all Navy kids like me. I'm telling you this because the Navy kids in my neighborhood were unusual in the way they viewed cartoons.
Take "George of the Jungle", very popular cartoon from that awesome year, 1967. All my friends watched the show every week but not to see George. Almost every one of my friends watched for the "filler" cartoon in the middle of the show, "Super Chicken". This is the part of "retro" that never gets consideration. The past is never as straightforward as it seems, especially for folks too young to have experienced it firsthand. I betcha it was Super Chicken that made George of the Jungle so popular. Btw, Happy Easter!!! |

A guy would have to be nuts to not like the intro.

There's hardly a week that goes by where I'm not awed by the cool cartoons that aired on old fashion broadcast TV during the last two decades of the 20th century.
Another series that may slip beneath the waves is a cartoon I swear I saw every Saturday morning at 6am on Superstation WTBS in 1991, (wikipedia says it was 1992). Does not matter one bit, the cartoon is "Super Dave: Daredevil For Hire" and although I don't normally fall for slapstick humor, I found this cartoon very funny in a sicko kinda way, lol. The cartoon series was my introduction to the character Super Dave Osbourne, which most people might find funny cuz comedian Bob Einstein created the character "Super Dave" back in the 70's as a spoof of Evel Knievel the stuntman/entertainer. I had No Idea that there was an actual live action Super Dave Show from the 80's because I didn't have cable. It's nice to discover something years after most folks have long forgotten it. |

I was a big fan of Super Dave. His deadpan delivery and the blatantly fake body doubles used for the stunts made it so hilarious. I wonder where Super Dave is now?

This was another accident, just like all the other accidents I've had for most of my life throughout the 20th century.
One Saturday morning in 1998 I woke up around 3:30 am. The TV was on because I'd fallen asleep watching the Friday midnight monster movie. All my life I'd done exactly what I did that early morning, I channel surfed to see what else was on television. And that's when I stumbled on the strangest collection of cartoons I'd never seen before. One of them was about a little cartoon guy called McGee and his friend Nick, the boy who drew him. This was the first time I'd ever seen the live action/animated series, "McGee and Me", the Christian Children's program produced by Focus on the Family and broadcast on both CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) and TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network).  The internet came along just in time to save this cool cartoon series from obscurity. If you are a fan of the 80's, I can't think of a better time capsule than McGee and Me - this series captures the spirit of the times beautifully. I still find this cartoon fully watchable even though it was released in 1989. It delivers it's message without being heavy handed. There are only nine original episodes and the best one, in my opinion, is "Do The Bright Thing", funny and well thought-out, "Do The Bright Thing" gives McGee extra screen time over and above the other episodes. |

I'm not at all familiar with McGee and Me. Thanks for the enlightenment Edd. I do know of some other Focus on the Family creations, like Adventures in Odyssey. Mostly the radio theater version, as opposed to the cartoon.

Would you believe there was a 3 Stooges cartoon? With Larry Fine and Moe Howard doing the live-action segments?
