I wonder where the Looney Toons and Hana-Barbera animations go. They used to be on rerun on Cartoon Network back in the 90s.

Animation in USA died in the 70s.

But are they as good as Clutch Cargo?

CC had cult status in NZ in the 60's and early 70's.

Never heard of it, but I'm sure there's a hentai out there that's named "Crotch cargo"... or something close.

heh dunno what a hentai is but I don't think they would be the same thing. Clutch Cargo might be before your time, as far as I know it hasn't been on TV here in over 30 years so I haven't exactly seen it recently either.

All "cartoons" that are not hand drawn are junk. Computer animated crap has no soul.

Best anime ever: Ghost in the Shell. Both movies, SAC and GIG series. Nothing comes even close. (most realistic depiction of future I have seen, ever)

You beat me to it. I remember my much younger sisters watching that in the late 60's and being puzzled by how they could watch and even like such crap.

While kids cartoons and Saturday morning television seem to be a bigger bunch of crap today, I can't say the same for prime time cartoons. The Simpsons and Futurama are two of my favorite "sitcoms" of the past decade or more. Simpsons has to be about #1.

King of the Hill is also great, and I got a kick out of Bevis and Butthead at the time.

The Simpsons have sucked a** for the last several years.

All I remember about Clutch Cargo was the funky lip movement and the dog's name was Paddlefoot.

Hit or miss episodes, but more hit than miss. The celebrity episodes are the weakest, IMO. Can't really say I've seen too many hit episodes of anything else on TV, though I end up watching some mildly entertaining episodes of various sitcoms with the wife each week. 2 1/2 men, George Lopez etc. Nothing I wopuld really miss or go out of my way to see by comparison.
