Growing up, the most prevalent cartoons were always Looney-Tunes. I was practically raised by Bug, Daffy, and my favorite, Foghorn Leghorn. During the early years, say around 4-9, Saturday morning was taken over by those strange Sid & Marty Krofft shows. Banana Splits, Pufnstuf, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Lidsville, The Bugaloos, Land of the Lost, Far-Out Space Nuts; these were the Chicken Soup for the Lunatic's Soul. The actual cartoons that were very important in the early days, besides WB, were crazy things like Harlem Globetrotters, those early superhero cartoons with the amazing sliding animation like Captain America ("When Captain America throws his mighty shield, all those who chose to oppose his shield must yield!"), old-time anime like Prince Planet, weird stuff like that. Once I got into my youth (pre-teens) stuff like Spiderman and Thundercats took over. I guess all this explains my weirdness.
