I would like to take a moment to thank all of you above for NOT turning this into a political rant, attack, or tying it to current, divisive events. After all, Loony Toons, HB, etc. are scared ground. I’ve never been so proud of you maroons! Thanks, again. :)
I might point out that not one of those characters was born on Saturday mornings. Rocky and Bullwinkle were Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, the Jetsons were prime time, and the rest had their origins in the 30s, 40s, and 50s as movie shorts.
And new Rocky and Bullwinkle adventures are streaming on Amazon Prime Video right now.
By the way, when I was a really little kid, Saturday morning TV meant Laurel and Hardy shorts (or sometimes raw, bleeding gobbets cut out of their features), not cartoons.
And those were the good cartoons. Now they’re not PC enough and if you watch the DVDs there is a little speech before them by Whoopi Goldberg about how they were a product of their time. So very sad. The Cartoon Network wouldn’t play Speedy Gonzalez. Heck, I’m sure the French got ticked off at Pepe Le Pew.
Fortunately we have them on DVD. Great stuff. As a history buff, I like the disc 6 cartoons, those are the propaganda ones made up by WB. Just a look back in time.
Top Cat, Yogi and Boo Boo, The Jetsons, The Flintsones. Good stuff all around. Now you’re stuck with stupid Spongebob. Ugh.

Now, if they have anything similar, it is basically just a half hour commercial for some toy.
