[Not the] Greatest Cartoons in History

Posted on by

Earlier this week CoedMagazine.com listed their choices for The 10 Greatest Saturday Morning Cartoons in History.  So, using just their top ten, here is my top four:

  • 4.  The Superfriends
  • 3. Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends
  • 2.  H.R. Pufnstuf
  • 1. The Wacky Racers

I have to tell you, their choices stink.  First of all, how are H.R. Pufnstuf, Sigmun the Sea Monster and Land of the Lost considered cartoons?  If these shows qualify as “cartoons” then The Monkees and The Banana Splits should have made the list.

I’d always thought that “cartoon” indicated animation.  Using that criteria then why didn’t Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Tom & Jerry, The Roadrunner, and others not make the cut?  Bah!
