Space Ghost was on Cartoon Express on USA.

I like it far better now that he does his talk show.

Wile was awsome, I can never make up my mind which Bugs Bunny character I like better him or Yosemite Sam.

I liked to watch Underdog, Bullwinkle and all his buddies, Batman, and Scooby Doo. These days I really can't stand to watch Scooby Doo. Guess I didn't realize back then that every story was essentially the same.
There was a local program called Dr. Max and Mombo that showed all the looney toons cartoons. I always like Foghorn Leghorn, maybe because Dr. Max said it was his favorite.

Oh, Mickey's done tons of cartoons. Disney used to show them in the mornings, after movies, he's done movies and shows.

But I must say I grew up on Disney.

Disney put out a series of VHS tapes several years back that had a lot of the old Mickey/Minnie/Goofy cartoons that were so popular when we were kids. Even though my kids are older now, we still keep the tapes (until they come out on DVD) to occasionally drag them out to watch.

There's a cartoon on the Disney Channel. I forget what it's called. But Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy run a club. All the Disney animated stars from all the Disney shows/movies come to eat dinner and take in a show. They usually show old cartoons. There's usually things that happens at the club that they have to take care of.

Looney Tunes (Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester, etc)
Rocky & Bullwinkle (Still crack me up)
Johnny Quest (Is Hadji an insurgent now?)
Popeye (Well Blow Me Down! WTF?)
Yogi Bear (Is Boo Boo Illegitimate?)

I know a lot of you like Disney, but I don't think Walt would like the meglo-mania greedy marketing Michael Eisner World Domination Disney Corporation. They've gotten waaaaay out of control.

Also, Looney Tunes didn't sell out (aka "Space Jam") until AFTER Mel Blanc kicked.

I disagree to some extent.....

I think if Walt were alive today, there wouldn't have been the lean years that Disney had before Eisner came along. Much as he is reviled, if it weren't for Michael Eisner, The Disney Corporation might have gone into the tank, especially with Roy running the company.

While I think that Disney is more about the money now, than quality of entertainment, they still know how to put out good family fare. And face it, who would you rather have owning Disney....the present situation, Roy Disney, Rupert Murdoch or Ted Turner?

They have at some level, maintained some of Walts' dream, but in cases where it means more money, they have modified it a little.
