Rocky and Bullwinkle! I forgot about them, along with Fractured Fairy Tales and Mr Peabody and Sherman. They are still funny today. They had a lot of in jokes and cultural references for the adults, and a lot of silliness for the kids.

When I was in the Navy, (Yes, I know, that gets old, but then I AM old), every day after work you had to hurry down to the berthing area on the ship or you wouldn't get a chair to watch Popeye the Sailor. We discovered that a lot of what Popeye said under his breath was for the grownups, and again, the silliness was for the kids. Every day there would be 10 or 12 of us watching Popeye before we did anything else. They just showed the old black and white ones. They are the best and are the ones where almost every one of the characters says things to themselves or talks under their breath.

My granddaughter also has a DVD of the old Popeye cartoons and will watch them over and over. She likes the Jeep, especially when he walks through walls or disappears and reappears.
