So sit back and tune in now. Hello and welcome

Joining me is Steve Megatron. Hello, sir. Yo.

00:01:12.099 –> 00:01:16.120
How are you guys doing? Ho. Ho. A pirate’s life
00:01:16.120 –> 00:01:20.099
for me. He said yo. I said ho. You missed your
00:01:20.099 –> 00:01:22.819
part. You missed your cue, Mike. Yeah, I need
00:01:22.819 –> 00:01:25.260
a bottle of rum. Please just send me a bottle
00:01:25.260 –> 00:01:31.019
of rum. I don’t. Yeah. Send all bottles of rum
00:01:31.019 –> 00:01:37.370
to geekcastradio .com. All right. No, don’t,
00:01:37.370 –> 00:01:44.250
and stop. You know. No. More. It was a perfect
00:01:44.250 –> 00:01:49.450
use of it. It was, but no. Don’t give me a reason
00:01:49.450 –> 00:01:57.370
to. we’ve done eight top 100 countdowns in 14
00:01:57.370 –> 00:02:00.189
years and now we go back to the beginning but
00:02:00.189 –> 00:02:02.609
we are starting in a completely different way
00:02:02.609 –> 00:02:05.790
over the next five episodes of the podcast we
00:02:05.790 –> 00:02:08.090
will be revealing the top 100 animated series
00:02:08.090 –> 00:02:10.990
nominees take it away optimus solo and tell us
00:02:10.990 –> 00:02:13.270
what’s in store for the listeners as we go through
00:02:13.270 –> 00:02:17.770
this new format well see in the world of pop
00:02:17.770 –> 00:02:22.069
culture things get done And then they get redone
00:02:22.069 –> 00:02:26.569
or rebooted or reimagined. So we wanted to like
00:02:26.569 –> 00:02:29.870
just get right into that frame of reference.
00:02:29.969 –> 00:02:32.849
So yes, we’ve done a bunch of these top 100 records
00:02:32.849 –> 00:02:36.689
and we decided what better thing than to go back
00:02:36.689 –> 00:02:40.009
and do one all over again. So that is what we
00:02:40.009 –> 00:02:41.949
are here to do, but we’re going to do it a little
00:02:41.949 –> 00:02:43.949
different. Can’t do it the same way. That’d be
00:02:43.949 –> 00:02:45.969
boring. People could just go back and listen
00:02:45.969 –> 00:02:47.710
to the other ones if we did the same thing. So
00:02:47.710 –> 00:02:50.469
we have to. mix it up a little bit so what we
00:02:50.469 –> 00:02:54.030
decided to do is to give you some it’s like tease
00:02:54.030 –> 00:02:56.270
you guys a little bit over the next five episodes
00:02:56.270 –> 00:03:02.090
so we’re going to narrow the field down so when
00:03:02.090 –> 00:03:05.569
we talked about the top 100 animated series once
00:03:05.569 –> 00:03:09.129
upon a time first off it was 15 years ago so
00:03:09.129 –> 00:03:12.430
there was 15 years less of content to cover in
00:03:12.430 –> 00:03:14.150
the last 15 years there’s been a few cartoons
00:03:14.150 –> 00:03:17.289
that have come out and We’ve had more time to
00:03:17.289 –> 00:03:18.789
watch the old cartoons and all kinds of other
00:03:18.789 –> 00:03:20.389
stuff. So if you wanted to actually look at the
00:03:20.389 –> 00:03:23.469
life of cartoons and how many there would be
00:03:23.469 –> 00:03:25.750
to choose from in order to narrow it down to
00:03:25.750 –> 00:03:28.689
a top 100, it would be a monumental task. We’d
00:03:28.689 –> 00:03:33.129
be talking about thousands and thousands of cartoons.
00:03:33.789 –> 00:03:35.930
And we don’t want to put anybody through that
00:03:35.930 –> 00:03:38.289
toil because even though Mike and I could probably
00:03:38.289 –> 00:03:43.490
get on our Discord and do another eight -hour
00:03:43.490 –> 00:03:45.409
marathon overnight as we narrow down our list
00:03:45.409 –> 00:03:48.620
to 100, Most people aren’t that crazy. So the
00:03:48.620 –> 00:03:52.520
funny thing is, before we started this episode,
00:03:52.800 –> 00:03:54.740
I said, you know, we really should make this
00:03:54.740 –> 00:03:57.879
a 10 episode arc. And instead of just doing pre
00:03:57.879 –> 00:04:01.780
1980s, have it 50, 60, 70s, eight and just do
00:04:01.780 –> 00:04:05.360
each decade. He’s like, only we are that crazy.
00:04:05.479 –> 00:04:09.800
Yeah, I know. Mike likes pain. But we figured
00:04:09.800 –> 00:04:11.719
if we wanted to get people to actually submit.
00:04:12.740 –> 00:04:15.139
their versions of this top 100 as we’d normally
00:04:15.139 –> 00:04:17.100
do with these top 100 lists, it would be much
00:04:17.100 –> 00:04:18.959
easier for them instead of having to choose from,
00:04:19.040 –> 00:04:21.980
I don’t know, 3 ,000 cartoons, if we narrowed
00:04:21.980 –> 00:04:26.120
it down a little bit to say 250. So that is what
00:04:26.120 –> 00:04:27.939
we have done. We have divided up the cartoon
00:04:27.939 –> 00:04:31.040
eras into different time periods. And then we
00:04:31.040 –> 00:04:34.459
have hashed out amongst ourselves. We’ve looked
00:04:34.459 –> 00:04:37.019
at online lists. We’ve looked at rankings and
00:04:37.019 –> 00:04:40.379
ratings from across the interwebs. And we have
00:04:40.379 –> 00:04:43.639
narrowed each time period down to 50 nominations,
00:04:43.959 –> 00:04:47.839
50 nominees that people will then have the choice
00:04:47.839 –> 00:04:52.199
to vote out of those 250 shows. So five episodes,
00:04:52.360 –> 00:04:53.779
50 shows a piece. That’s what we’re going to
00:04:53.779 –> 00:04:57.240
reveal. Pretend it’s like the day that they do
00:04:57.240 –> 00:05:00.939
the thing that’s usually streamed somewhere because
00:05:00.939 –> 00:05:02.879
nobody really cares, but they do the thing where
00:05:02.879 –> 00:05:06.920
they announce the Academy Award nominees. I’ve
00:05:06.920 –> 00:05:09.480
never watched that in my life. But I know a lot
00:05:09.480 –> 00:05:14.779
of like big time movie crazed people might tune
00:05:14.779 –> 00:05:16.680
in for that. Most people just wait until the
00:05:16.680 –> 00:05:18.240
article comes out that says like, hey, here’s
00:05:18.240 –> 00:05:20.040
the nominees. But we’re going to be doing that.
00:05:20.100 –> 00:05:21.759
It’s like the reveal show where these are the
00:05:21.759 –> 00:05:24.759
people that could potentially. It’s like the
00:05:24.759 –> 00:05:26.360
most anticlimactic thing we could possibly do.
00:05:26.420 –> 00:05:29.339
And that’s why I love it. It’s like the shows
00:05:29.339 –> 00:05:32.180
that could possibly, if everything goes right,
00:05:32.220 –> 00:05:34.519
make it on our top 100. If we don’t list the
00:05:34.519 –> 00:05:37.449
shows off. In these episodes, they have 0 % chance.
00:05:37.610 –> 00:05:40.870
There’s no write -ins. There’s no different ballots.
00:05:41.089 –> 00:05:44.670
You have to choose from the 250. So what we decided
00:05:44.670 –> 00:05:47.470
to do is reveal those to you guys in chunks.
00:05:47.670 –> 00:05:50.170
So today, we’re going to be starting in chronological
00:05:50.170 –> 00:05:54.709
order with the pre -1980s. So for those that
00:05:54.709 –> 00:05:57.310
know anything about cartoons, first cartoon aired
00:05:57.310 –> 00:06:01.870
in the very late 40s, technically. But basically,
00:06:01.910 –> 00:06:04.720
you have the 50s. is when cartoons took off.
00:06:04.819 –> 00:06:08.600
So this is going to cover the 1950s, the 1960s,
00:06:08.600 –> 00:06:12.220
and the 1970s. Why three decades, you say? Well,
00:06:12.360 –> 00:06:15.379
because number one, we had to find a way to group
00:06:15.379 –> 00:06:19.079
these. That made sense. And in the 50s and 60s
00:06:19.079 –> 00:06:21.759
and 70s, there was much less cartoons being produced
00:06:21.759 –> 00:06:25.720
on a yearly basis than, say, the 2000s and 2010s.
00:06:26.670 –> 00:06:28.850
where there’s a lot of new shows every single
00:06:28.850 –> 00:06:31.389
year. So from a numbers standpoint, if you add
00:06:31.389 –> 00:06:33.149
the 50s, 60s, and 70s together, it’s probably
00:06:33.149 –> 00:06:36.810
still technically less cartoons than what we’re
00:06:36.810 –> 00:06:39.689
going to get when we say like the 1990s or the
00:06:39.689 –> 00:06:41.910
2000s or whatever. So that’s kind of how we decided
00:06:41.910 –> 00:06:45.750
to do this. Plus, when you think about ranking
00:06:45.750 –> 00:06:48.110
and quality and things like that, everybody has
00:06:48.110 –> 00:06:49.649
a different criteria of how they kind of pick
00:06:49.649 –> 00:06:52.069
what’s going to be on the top 100. But a lot
00:06:52.069 –> 00:06:54.709
of times, the older the cartoon is, sometimes
00:06:54.709 –> 00:06:57.990
harder to make the list. Although, there are
00:06:57.990 –> 00:07:00.410
some cases where it does help because it’s the
00:07:00.410 –> 00:07:02.269
first or because it’s just been around for so
00:07:02.269 –> 00:07:04.250
long. But there’s definitely not as much reason
00:07:04.250 –> 00:07:07.449
as to why it comes to these old shows. So that
00:07:07.449 –> 00:07:08.910
is what we’re going to do. The way we’re going
00:07:08.910 –> 00:07:13.709
to do that today, unbeknownst to Steve and unbeknownst
00:07:13.709 –> 00:07:17.149
to Mike until like two minutes ago, is I have
00:07:17.149 –> 00:07:20.329
sorted the 50 shows that are going to be revealed
00:07:20.329 –> 00:07:23.709
today in alphabetical order. So this has no bearing
00:07:23.709 –> 00:07:26.509
on anything. actually cast any votes for the
00:07:26.509 –> 00:07:29.750
top 100 so we have no idea what eventually is
00:07:29.750 –> 00:07:31.589
going to make it or not so i just figured we’ll
00:07:31.589 –> 00:07:33.389
just rattle them off in alphabetical order we’re
00:07:33.389 –> 00:07:35.930
going to reveal them in sets of five so i’m going
00:07:35.930 –> 00:07:39.750
to give you five shows that are possible nominations
00:07:39.750 –> 00:07:43.029
for this time period i might give you a quick
00:07:43.029 –> 00:07:45.310
couple notes about that set of five and then
00:07:45.310 –> 00:07:47.949
mike and steve are going to react let us know
00:07:47.949 –> 00:07:50.269
which ones they really are going to be pulling
00:07:50.269 –> 00:07:52.810
for to make the top 100 or maybe which ones they’re
00:07:53.339 –> 00:07:55.000
thinking are going to be a cinch or they would
00:07:55.000 –> 00:07:57.500
vote for or whatever their comments are about
00:07:57.500 –> 00:07:59.800
that set of five and then we’ll move on and do
00:07:59.800 –> 00:08:02.339
it in chunks of five until we have the 50 revealed
00:08:02.339 –> 00:08:07.300
then mike is going to have a very very apt timed
00:08:07.300 –> 00:08:10.959
ad break in there and then we are going to because
00:08:10.959 –> 00:08:13.100
it’s the year 2025 and because i think i like
00:08:13.100 –> 00:08:17.540
to rile mike’s uh nerves up sometimes and i know
00:08:17.540 –> 00:08:19.720
he’s probably not a fan of steve’s he’s gonna
00:08:19.720 –> 00:08:23.870
love this steve’s gonna love this So after the
00:08:23.870 –> 00:08:26.209
ad break, we’re going to do a little section
00:08:26.209 –> 00:08:32.690
where I asked some AI questions online to predict
00:08:32.690 –> 00:08:35.110
this set and which ones would make the top 100,
00:08:35.250 –> 00:08:38.049
and we’ll see what AI has to say about that.
00:08:39.269 –> 00:08:43.309
And we’ll get our quick reactions on that just
00:08:43.309 –> 00:08:45.389
for a little bit of, I guess, fun and to try
00:08:45.389 –> 00:08:46.850
to keep ourselves somewhat current, I guess.
00:08:47.309 –> 00:08:50.250
And then Mike and Steve at the end and myself
00:08:50.250 –> 00:08:52.370
will give our kind of final thoughts on the set
00:08:52.370 –> 00:08:55.570
of 50 overall. Maybe a quick guess as to how
00:08:55.570 –> 00:08:58.289
many of those 50 might make the top 100 or just
00:08:58.289 –> 00:09:00.289
fun stuff like that. Mike, did I miss anything?
00:09:01.330 –> 00:09:04.490
I don’t think so. All right. I’ll also give you
00:09:04.490 –> 00:09:06.389
a tally at the end of how many shows for each
00:09:06.389 –> 00:09:09.049
decade actually made this set of 50. So how many
00:09:09.049 –> 00:09:11.970
from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. And then I’ve also
00:09:11.970 –> 00:09:14.830
scoured the interwebs for nine different rankings
00:09:14.830 –> 00:09:18.220
that were online. That did similar things to
00:09:18.220 –> 00:09:21.980
us. Over the last decade or so. So things like
00:09:21.980 –> 00:09:26.460
TV guys list. Indie wires list. There’s a variety
00:09:26.460 –> 00:09:28.259
of those. I have nine different ones. Including
00:09:28.259 –> 00:09:33.120
IGN’s list. And including our first list. So
00:09:33.120 –> 00:09:35.299
which of these shows. Made our original list.
00:09:35.519 –> 00:09:39.019
Just as a point of reference. Steve any questions.
00:09:39.200 –> 00:09:45.059
Before we start revealing. No. Alright. So again.
00:09:45.850 –> 00:09:48.149
I could say in no particular order, but it is
00:09:48.149 –> 00:09:50.990
in alphabetical. And in one particular order,
00:09:51.110 –> 00:09:55.070
that is alphabetical. Here is the first set of
00:09:55.070 –> 00:09:57.809
five possible nominees for the top 100 animated
00:09:57.809 –> 00:10:00.830
series list part two. Father, don’t say that.
00:10:00.870 –> 00:10:03.250
After all, I’m your son. I’m your very own Astro
00:10:03.250 –> 00:10:08.009
Boy. Oh, I’m Seven Dark Seven, complex computerized
00:10:08.009 –> 00:10:16.909
coordinator for G -Force. Please, Minnie. Maxie,
00:10:16.929 –> 00:10:19.629
let me go with you. I promise not to get in your
00:10:19.629 –> 00:10:24.350
way. Oh, I don’t know, Casper. To arms! The pirates
00:10:24.350 –> 00:10:27.889
are coming! They’ll steal all the silver! Well,
00:10:27.889 –> 00:10:30.330
it seems the angry Admiral was unconvinced. Well,
00:10:30.350 –> 00:10:32.230
don’t just stand there, Admiral. Do something!
00:10:32.629 –> 00:10:36.710
I intend to! What? Justice! So saying, the Admiral
00:10:36.710 –> 00:10:38.850
sent Crusader tumbling toward the street below.
00:10:39.169 –> 00:10:43.750
First off, we have from the 1960s, the show Astro
00:10:43.750 –> 00:10:48.129
Boy. This was on both IGN and Digital Dream Door
00:10:48.129 –> 00:10:52.309
list. We have Battle of the Planets from 1970s.
00:10:52.470 –> 00:10:55.809
That made IGN’s list as well as three other lists
00:10:55.809 –> 00:10:58.230
that we looked at. We have Captain Caveman and
00:10:58.230 –> 00:11:00.649
the Teen Angels, also from the 70s. It made the
00:11:00.649 –> 00:11:04.509
Channel 4 listing. We have Casper and the Angels,
00:11:04.809 –> 00:11:09.259
which is also from the 70s. One of the first,
00:11:09.379 –> 00:11:11.120
actually the first, a lot of people consider
00:11:11.120 –> 00:11:13.700
it the first cartoon ever, Crusader Rabbit, which
00:11:13.700 –> 00:11:16.139
is technically from 1948, but we’re calling it
00:11:16.139 –> 00:11:18.759
the 50s. So Astro Boy, Battle of the Planets,
00:11:18.860 –> 00:11:22.220
Captain Caveman, Casper, and the Angels, and
00:11:22.220 –> 00:11:24.860
Crusader Rabbit are our first set of five. Mike,
00:11:25.080 –> 00:11:27.220
anything that strikes your fancy, any that you
00:11:27.220 –> 00:11:28.940
think you may vote for out of that group, or
00:11:28.940 –> 00:11:31.899
are they all not going to be worthy enough on
00:11:31.899 –> 00:11:34.960
your top 100? Captain Caveman easily will get
00:11:34.960 –> 00:11:38.769
mine. It’ll probably be in the 60s on my list,
00:11:38.850 –> 00:11:42.950
maybe. All right. Steve, any reactions to that
00:11:42.950 –> 00:11:47.009
set of five? The only one I could possibly see
00:11:47.009 –> 00:11:49.789
on there, like, yeah, I mean, I get Captain Caveman,
00:11:49.909 –> 00:11:54.809
but at the same time, there’s there’s like Astro
00:11:54.809 –> 00:11:59.690
Boy. I’ve like it had a more modern revival at
00:11:59.690 –> 00:12:04.509
one point, even if I’ll be it briefly. So I could
00:12:04.509 –> 00:12:10.379
see that one. But again, I don’t foresee any
00:12:10.379 –> 00:12:13.899
of these five really making the list. Yeah, I
00:12:13.899 –> 00:12:15.679
think the argument for Crusader Rabbit would
00:12:15.679 –> 00:12:19.200
be it’s the first, right? The argument for Casper
00:12:19.200 –> 00:12:21.240
would be kind of like the iconic character, more
00:12:21.240 –> 00:12:25.139
so than the show. I think Battle of the Planets…
00:12:25.139 –> 00:12:28.460
Casper and the Angel? You said Casper and the
00:12:28.460 –> 00:12:31.700
Angels? Yeah, that’s the name of one of the series.
00:12:32.460 –> 00:12:35.080
I could see Battle of the Planets possibly showing
00:12:35.080 –> 00:12:37.279
up. Battle of the Planets out of those five was
00:12:37.279 –> 00:12:39.179
the one that made the most lists that we looked
00:12:39.179 –> 00:12:41.840
at. So it was on four different lists. And I
00:12:41.840 –> 00:12:44.840
know Astro Boy 2 from a franchise standpoint,
00:12:44.960 –> 00:12:48.700
a show that was rebooted or redone a couple different
00:12:48.700 –> 00:12:50.919
times, so maybe more generations know about that
00:12:50.919 –> 00:12:54.720
one. I agree with Steve, though. I don’t know
00:12:54.720 –> 00:12:57.320
if any of these five will make it. I don’t know
00:12:57.320 –> 00:12:59.500
if they’ll actually. make it but like i said
00:12:59.500 –> 00:13:02.860
on my list i will put captain caveman i will
00:13:02.860 –> 00:13:05.580
put a different version of casper i will put
00:13:05.580 –> 00:13:08.559
casper the friendly ghost version i i’ve never
00:13:08.559 –> 00:13:11.299
heard i’ve never seen casper and the angel i’ve
00:13:11.299 –> 00:13:13.200
never i don’t know which one i don’t know what
00:13:13.200 –> 00:13:15.000
form casper was first i don’t know if it was
00:13:15.000 –> 00:13:17.200
a theatrical short a movie or a cartoon first
00:13:17.200 –> 00:13:19.460
but this is no clue one of the early versions
00:13:19.460 –> 00:13:23.279
yeah i’m not a casper aficionado so that is the
00:13:23.529 –> 00:13:26.289
First set of five, nothing that struck us as
00:13:26.289 –> 00:13:28.929
half to make it on there, but it’ll be interesting
00:13:28.929 –> 00:13:31.330
to see. I guess it depends on the makeup of our
00:13:31.330 –> 00:13:35.049
panel. Okay, you guys, break it up. Reed, Johnny,
00:13:35.210 –> 00:13:40.049
Ben, come quick. It’s Dr. Doom. His image is
00:13:40.049 –> 00:13:43.149
on the television screen. He came right on in
00:13:43.149 –> 00:13:52.700
the middle of the race. Is Felix the cat daydreaming
00:13:52.700 –> 00:13:57.320
again? Say, look at all those signs. Why, Felix
00:13:57.320 –> 00:13:59.899
doesn’t even see them. Let’s see what they say.
00:14:00.879 –> 00:14:05.799
Private property. Scram. Keep out. This means
00:14:05.799 –> 00:14:11.419
you. Me, George. You, Jane. Shep. Puppy. Big,
00:14:11.600 –> 00:14:14.899
grey, peanut -loving puppy. What makes you think
00:14:14.899 –> 00:14:21.549
so? Speak, Shep. Jane here. A -flat. All elephants
00:14:21.549 –> 00:14:26.610
have sharp. Man, we’re really hot today. Yeah,
00:14:26.629 –> 00:14:28.769
our game with the hillbilly hill stars ought
00:14:28.769 –> 00:14:33.149
to be a breeze. Well, don’t make too much of
00:14:33.149 –> 00:14:35.169
a breeze, Curly. I don’t think this gym can stand
00:14:35.169 –> 00:14:40.110
it. Get ready, Jim. Send it my way, shout stuff.
00:14:46.070 –> 00:14:51.649
I wonder what’s keeping everybody. For the second
00:14:51.649 –> 00:14:54.409
set of five, we are going to go with the 1967
00:14:54.409 –> 00:14:59.250
version of the Fantastic Four. We have Fat Albert
00:14:59.250 –> 00:15:02.549
and the Cosby Kids, who actually had one win
00:15:02.549 –> 00:15:05.250
and four nominations, I think, for different
00:15:05.250 –> 00:15:08.250
awards, whether it be Emmys or whatever I was
00:15:08.250 –> 00:15:11.110
looking at. It was also on five different lists,
00:15:11.149 –> 00:15:12.950
including this is the first one that was on our
00:15:12.950 –> 00:15:15.970
original list. It was number 93 on our first
00:15:15.970 –> 00:15:19.309
countdown. We have Felix the Cat from the 50s.
00:15:19.309 –> 00:15:22.169
We have George of the Jungle from the 60s. And
00:15:22.169 –> 00:15:25.529
we have Harlem Globetrotters from the 70s. So
00:15:25.529 –> 00:15:28.429
Fantastic Four, Fat Albert, Felix the Cat, George
00:15:28.429 –> 00:15:31.070
of the Jungle, Harlem Globetrotters. Steve, any
00:15:31.070 –> 00:15:32.730
of those that could potentially get a vote out
00:15:32.730 –> 00:15:39.470
of you? I mean, they’re all difficult choices
00:15:39.470 –> 00:15:50.320
because I’ve seen all of them. I could probably
00:15:50.320 –> 00:15:54.980
see maybe George of the Jungle and Felix the
00:15:54.980 –> 00:15:57.039
Cat. I would say Fat Albert, although some people
00:15:57.039 –> 00:15:59.960
may still lump that in with the creator himself
00:15:59.960 –> 00:16:03.759
of it. Right. And so may not get the list just
00:16:03.759 –> 00:16:06.519
because of that. But I could see those three.
00:16:06.720 –> 00:16:09.220
There’s been better Fantastic Four series. And
00:16:09.220 –> 00:16:12.740
then the Harlem Globetrotters, they did a lot
00:16:12.740 –> 00:16:15.379
of other crossover shows. So I could see that.
00:16:15.909 –> 00:16:19.190
being more where they’re recognized but maybe
00:16:19.190 –> 00:16:21.490
those three i don’t foresee me voting for any
00:16:21.490 –> 00:16:24.950
of them though right i think this is too it’s
00:16:24.950 –> 00:16:26.330
going to be interesting because this episode
00:16:26.330 –> 00:16:28.110
of reveal this first set of 50 is going to be
00:16:28.110 –> 00:16:32.570
the most uh the one that has the most shows that
00:16:32.570 –> 00:16:34.330
maybe people aren’t as familiar with as well
00:16:34.330 –> 00:16:37.250
being that some of these are fairly old shows
00:16:37.250 –> 00:16:38.850
so that’s going to be another thing that may
00:16:38.850 –> 00:16:40.750
go against like depending on what age all of
00:16:40.750 –> 00:16:43.700
the different people that submit lists are Some
00:16:43.700 –> 00:16:45.299
of them may not be as familiar with this set
00:16:45.299 –> 00:16:47.820
as well. As we get through, it’ll be all shows
00:16:47.820 –> 00:16:49.539
that people know, basically, and have heard of
00:16:49.539 –> 00:16:52.399
and things of that nature. That’ll be an interesting
00:16:52.399 –> 00:16:53.980
progression to do these reveals. Mike, any of
00:16:53.980 –> 00:16:56.500
them that stood out in that set of five? Fat
00:16:56.500 –> 00:17:00.279
Albert and the Cosby Kids and Harlem Globetrotters.
00:17:00.600 –> 00:17:04.859
They’ll make the low end of my list. I can separate
00:17:04.859 –> 00:17:09.099
from the creator. The show is what the show is.
00:17:10.480 –> 00:17:14.049
Same. I always looked at the fiction more so
00:17:14.049 –> 00:17:17.670
than the behind -the -scenes of whatever. That’s
00:17:17.670 –> 00:17:21.589
just the way I was. I was raised with whatever’s
00:17:21.589 –> 00:17:25.230
on the television, that’s your reality. If you’re
00:17:25.230 –> 00:17:28.829
watching something and they’re teaching you something,
00:17:28.869 –> 00:17:33.970
that’s just what reality was 40 years ago. I
00:17:33.970 –> 00:17:37.170
think for me, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids does
00:17:37.170 –> 00:17:42.440
represent, I guess in my… opinion from a decade
00:17:42.440 –> 00:17:44.319
standpoint like it’s probably one of the most
00:17:44.319 –> 00:17:47.640
notable shows from the 70s agree yeah i think
00:17:47.640 –> 00:17:50.339
there’s some that some on this set of reveals
00:17:50.339 –> 00:17:53.740
that will garner more attention because of them
00:17:53.740 –> 00:17:56.339
being from the 50s or 60s which makes them a
00:17:56.339 –> 00:17:57.920
little bit more classic a little bit more like
00:17:57.920 –> 00:18:01.000
original for some of these franchises 70s is
00:18:01.000 –> 00:18:03.380
an interesting time period and i think in my
00:18:03.380 –> 00:18:08.599
recollection of what i voted for or I think in
00:18:08.599 –> 00:18:11.880
the contest that we did 15 years ago, I may have
00:18:11.880 –> 00:18:14.579
only had two shows from the 1970s on my list.
00:18:14.859 –> 00:18:17.519
And Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids was one of
00:18:17.519 –> 00:18:20.839
them. And the 70s was kind of, yeah. And the
00:18:20.839 –> 00:18:23.339
funny thing about the 70s is, as far as I remember,
00:18:23.599 –> 00:18:26.880
just like everything else in that decade, cartoons
00:18:26.880 –> 00:18:29.299
were experimental back then. It was an interesting
00:18:29.299 –> 00:18:31.759
period, for sure. Yeah, no, and I’m not trying
00:18:31.759 –> 00:18:34.380
to veer off the conversation, but I just want
00:18:34.380 –> 00:18:37.740
to point out that The 50s and 60s, you had the
00:18:37.740 –> 00:18:39.740
Flintstones, the Jetsons, the this, the that,
00:18:39.759 –> 00:18:41.420
the whatever. You had the Scooby -Doos. You had
00:18:41.420 –> 00:18:43.920
the Laugh Olympics. You had all this stuff. The
00:18:43.920 –> 00:18:47.079
70s, you had some… We could do a whole separate
00:18:47.079 –> 00:18:49.619
episode of TimCast about the cartoons of the
00:18:49.619 –> 00:18:55.039
70s. Cartoons in the 70s were very heavily censored,
00:18:55.039 –> 00:18:57.440
and there was a lot of different things that
00:18:57.440 –> 00:18:59.319
they had to get around. Obviously, it’s not until
00:18:59.319 –> 00:19:00.859
the first couple years of the 80s where we break
00:19:00.859 –> 00:19:03.039
away from that. Not that the 80s didn’t also
00:19:03.039 –> 00:19:05.039
have other parent groups that were doing other
00:19:05.039 –> 00:19:06.859
things, but the 70s was very much affected by
00:19:06.859 –> 00:19:08.660
that. So it’s almost like a transition decade.
00:19:08.779 –> 00:19:11.740
Yeah, it is. It is very much transition. Interesting.
00:19:11.799 –> 00:19:13.599
On that set, we’ll see if Fat Albert and the
00:19:13.599 –> 00:19:15.640
Cosby Kids or any of those others will be able
00:19:15.640 –> 00:19:18.599
to make the eventual list. Let’s go to our third.
00:19:18.880 –> 00:19:21.440
One other note, really quick, really quick that
00:19:21.440 –> 00:19:24.859
I remember this. I actually got to go to at Freedom
00:19:24.859 –> 00:19:28.279
Hall in the 90s. I got to see the Harlem Globetrotters.
00:19:28.359 –> 00:19:31.500
So that’s why that cartoon. And besides the fact
00:19:31.500 –> 00:19:34.079
of them being in Scooby and other things, but
00:19:34.079 –> 00:19:35.819
that specific cartoon, that’s why that’s making
00:19:35.819 –> 00:19:39.240
my list. I can see Steve’s point, though, as
00:19:39.240 –> 00:19:41.619
well, though, like a lot of people may not view
00:19:41.619 –> 00:19:44.359
Love Trotters as a cartoon property. They may
00:19:44.359 –> 00:19:47.339
see it as other things. Yeah, absolutely. Once
00:19:47.339 –> 00:19:49.640
again, before you dare your own eyes, I will
00:19:49.640 –> 00:19:52.000
hop into the bottom drawer of this here filing
00:19:52.000 –> 00:19:54.799
cabinet, and then quick as a flash, I’ll pop
00:19:54.799 –> 00:19:58.599
out of the top drawer as superhero Hong Kong
00:19:58.599 –> 00:20:04.029
Fooey. Can’t sign crows. Uh -oh. Them corny crows
00:20:04.029 –> 00:20:12.089
are coming in for the attack. No respect again.
00:20:12.250 –> 00:20:16.609
Not even from a little goldfish. You like my
00:20:16.609 –> 00:20:20.329
secret agent? It’s Dr. Zinn. Nothing can stop
00:20:20.329 –> 00:20:26.849
it. I will have to work fast. Look, the robot’s
00:20:26.849 –> 00:20:29.259
taking off. I’m not getting a reading yet. Is
00:20:29.259 –> 00:20:35.920
it fire? No. Soon another ship will be sent to
00:20:35.920 –> 00:20:42.119
the bottom. Well, gang, we’re on our way to our
00:20:42.119 –> 00:20:44.920
big gig at Pagel Pagel Island. How do you like
00:20:44.920 –> 00:20:47.400
it? I’d like to throw you over the side for getting
00:20:47.400 –> 00:20:49.700
us stuck in this old rust bucket. All right.
00:20:49.779 –> 00:20:53.619
The third set of five we have. There’s going
00:20:53.619 –> 00:20:56.660
to be three from the 1970s here. We have. Hong
00:20:56.660 –> 00:21:00.339
Kong Fooey from the 1970s. That appeared on three
00:21:00.339 –> 00:21:02.099
different lists, including our original list
00:21:02.099 –> 00:21:05.160
at number 96. We have the Huckleberry Hound Show
00:21:05.160 –> 00:21:07.880
from the 1950s. That had a couple award nominations
00:21:07.880 –> 00:21:10.640
and wins. It was number 94 on our original list
00:21:10.640 –> 00:21:13.660
and appeared on five of the nine lists that I
00:21:13.660 –> 00:21:16.960
looked at in preparation of this. We have Jabberjaw
00:21:16.960 –> 00:21:20.539
from the 1970s. We have Johnny Quest from the
00:21:20.539 –> 00:21:22.700
1960s. That appeared in five of the nine lists
00:21:22.700 –> 00:21:25.519
as well, and it was as high as number 74. on
00:21:25.519 –> 00:21:28.759
our original list, and Josie and the Pussycats
00:21:28.759 –> 00:21:32.359
from the 1970s as well. So that’s Hong Kong Fooey,
00:21:32.480 –> 00:21:35.319
Huckleberry Hound, Jabberjaw, Johnny Quest, and
00:21:35.319 –> 00:21:37.220
Josie and the Pussycats. Maybe a little bit more
00:21:37.220 –> 00:21:39.720
name recognition here. Steve, what do you think
00:21:39.720 –> 00:21:41.720
of that set of five? See, this one’s tough because
00:21:41.720 –> 00:21:43.380
this is where it starts getting me. I’m like,
00:21:43.480 –> 00:21:47.640
oh, I remember all of these. And I would say
00:21:47.640 –> 00:21:50.799
that a lot of these have contender status, at
00:21:50.799 –> 00:21:54.910
least for those of us that are older. I would
00:21:54.910 –> 00:21:56.509
say anybody that’s in the modern generations
00:21:56.509 –> 00:21:58.230
aren’t going to have a clue what any of these
00:21:58.230 –> 00:22:02.349
are unless we showed it to them. And I out of
00:22:02.349 –> 00:22:07.970
these, I liked Huckleberry Hound and Hong Kong
00:22:07.970 –> 00:22:11.750
Phooey. Jabberjaw was kind of like, OK, but I
00:22:11.750 –> 00:22:14.910
those are two were kind of like the main two
00:22:14.910 –> 00:22:16.390
that I liked. I mean, a lot of the animation
00:22:16.390 –> 00:22:19.289
around this time was very, very similar in style,
00:22:19.490 –> 00:22:22.910
just had a different type of animal of some kind.
00:22:22.930 –> 00:22:27.539
It was the. the lead of something, but yeah,
00:22:27.619 –> 00:22:30.339
I, those two, I would, I would probably still
00:22:30.339 –> 00:22:33.960
include on my list. Mike, there was three on
00:22:33.960 –> 00:22:36.400
that, that were on our list originally. Like
00:22:36.400 –> 00:22:38.680
I said, Hong Kong, fully Huckleberry and Johnny
00:22:38.680 –> 00:22:41.240
quest. Do all three of those still deserve a
00:22:41.240 –> 00:22:43.220
spot or do you see some of them getting edged
00:22:43.220 –> 00:22:45.319
out by the fact that we’re including, you know,
00:22:45.319 –> 00:22:48.779
15 more years of cartoons? Absolutely. They deserve
00:22:48.779 –> 00:22:54.140
a spot and especially. Yeah. Jabberjaw. I love
00:22:54.140 –> 00:22:57.039
Jabberjaw. Oh, God. I’ll take Jabberjaw all day.
00:22:57.059 –> 00:23:01.359
I love that. Jabberjaw. Jabberjaw. Yeah. Frank
00:23:01.359 –> 00:23:05.599
Welker. Yeah. Frank Welker as Curly. Oh, man.
00:23:06.279 –> 00:23:08.319
Frank Welker doing a Three Stooges impression.
00:23:08.680 –> 00:23:11.759
Give me that all day, every day. And, you know,
00:23:11.819 –> 00:23:15.900
you can’t go wrong. You cannot go wrong with
00:23:15.900 –> 00:23:21.470
Scatman Crothers as Hong Kong Phooey. you know
00:23:21.470 –> 00:23:25.269
huckleberry is huckleberry so absolutely those
00:23:25.269 –> 00:23:29.609
all belong on the list i think somewhere definitely
00:23:29.609 –> 00:23:33.269
definitely be interesting to see how that plays
00:23:33.269 –> 00:23:38.089
out for sure all right i think for me personally
00:23:38.089 –> 00:23:40.910
i love jabber jaw i don’t know if i could vote
00:23:40.910 –> 00:23:45.130
for it specifically it didn’t have a huge like
00:23:45.130 –> 00:23:49.309
tenure but i do think the character is is definitely
00:23:49.309 –> 00:23:52.619
a classic hong kong i think the other thing that
00:23:52.619 –> 00:23:54.200
you have to think about with those is there is
00:23:54.200 –> 00:23:56.200
sometimes an effect that happens in these top
00:23:56.200 –> 00:24:00.660
100 countdowns where it’s kind of like the same
00:24:00.660 –> 00:24:02.859
thing that we saw with the top 100 animated movies
00:24:02.859 –> 00:24:05.039
the list we did once upon a time right sometimes
00:24:05.039 –> 00:24:07.579
people will take a certain studio and then they’ll
00:24:07.579 –> 00:24:09.339
rank them and then they’ll only include so many
00:24:09.339 –> 00:24:11.779
so like they’ll say disney like i’m only going
00:24:11.779 –> 00:24:13.960
to include you know 20 disney movies in this
00:24:13.960 –> 00:24:16.039
or i’m only going to include 10 Pixar movies
00:24:16.039 –> 00:24:17.839
or something like that. So there becomes a thing
00:24:17.839 –> 00:24:19.680
like with the Hanna -Barbera when it comes to
00:24:19.680 –> 00:24:23.539
cartoon series, which ones rise to the top and
00:24:23.539 –> 00:24:27.619
is there a cutoff where they won’t vote for Jabberjaw
00:24:27.619 –> 00:24:29.960
because they voted for six other that they think
00:24:29.960 –> 00:24:33.079
are more well deserving from that studio. So
00:24:33.079 –> 00:24:35.769
sometimes that can play a part. I never think
00:24:35.769 –> 00:24:38.509
like that. I always think of which one is my
00:24:38.509 –> 00:24:41.250
most favorite. And then I think, okay, which
00:24:41.250 –> 00:24:43.809
one is my second most favorite that I feel like
00:24:43.809 –> 00:24:47.250
I can drop. So if I need to, and that’s the other
00:24:47.250 –> 00:24:49.150
thing. And I mentioned this, I think the last
00:24:49.150 –> 00:24:51.730
time we talked about this on a podcast, I only
00:24:51.730 –> 00:24:56.450
list 100. number one i don’t ever put any numbers
00:24:56.450 –> 00:24:59.730
above so that way i know i only can list 100
00:24:59.730 –> 00:25:03.289
things so i don’t ever have any extra so i don’t
00:25:03.289 –> 00:25:06.869
ever have any wiggle room of of having to juggle
00:25:06.869 –> 00:25:10.910
things of whatever to figure out what can belong
00:25:10.910 –> 00:25:14.150
or what needs to go oh there’s definitely always
00:25:14.150 –> 00:25:16.150
interesting methods that everybody uses we all
00:25:16.150 –> 00:25:18.230
have our different way of narrowing down yeah
00:25:18.230 –> 00:25:21.170
i know For sure. The players are on the field,
00:25:21.250 –> 00:25:24.569
in the stadium even. So let’s get on with it.
00:25:24.910 –> 00:25:30.710
Black Olympics. That, sir, is an insignificant
00:25:30.710 –> 00:25:35.029
fabrication. It’s Webbit season. Duck season.
00:25:35.529 –> 00:25:39.930
Webbit season. Duck season. Webbit season. Duck
00:25:39.930 –> 00:25:42.720
season. season. Rabbit season. Rabbit season.
00:25:43.180 –> 00:25:47.660
Duck season. Rabbit season. I say it’s duck season
00:25:47.660 –> 00:25:55.440
and I say fire. This is the end of you. It’s
00:25:55.440 –> 00:26:00.500
Mighty Mouse. Now take it easy. Take it easy.
00:26:00.960 –> 00:26:07.240
Don’t come any closer. Stop or I’ll shoot. Now
00:26:07.240 –> 00:26:14.079
let’s talk this over, pal. It is the year 0079
00:26:14.079 –> 00:26:17.799
of the universal century. A half century has
00:26:17.799 –> 00:26:20.119
passed since Earth began moving its burgeoning
00:26:20.119 –> 00:26:22.819
population into gigantic orbiting space colonies.
00:26:22.920 –> 00:26:26.700
A new home for mankind. Where people are born
00:26:26.700 –> 00:26:30.720
and raised. And die. I don’t think it’ll make
00:26:30.720 –> 00:26:34.460
the top 40. Aura. She comes with her hunters.
00:26:34.920 –> 00:26:40.509
Aura? Princess Aura. Ming. offspring. She and
00:26:40.509 –> 00:26:44.089
her witch women warriors will hunt us down. Alright,
00:26:44.190 –> 00:26:48.349
so the next set of files. Let’s see where we
00:26:48.349 –> 00:26:50.069
go from here. We may have a powerhouse involved
00:26:50.069 –> 00:26:54.130
in this one. So we have from the 1970s, we have
00:26:54.130 –> 00:26:56.670
the Laugh Olympics that appeared on the Wizard
00:26:56.670 –> 00:27:00.549
list. From whatever decade you want to qualify
00:27:00.549 –> 00:27:05.579
it for, we have the Looney Tunes, which… It
00:27:05.579 –> 00:27:07.680
may have appeared in eight of the nine listings
00:27:07.680 –> 00:27:11.299
that we did, including number four on our original
00:27:11.299 –> 00:27:13.680
list. It also appeared number three on IGN, three
00:27:13.680 –> 00:27:15.740
on the Wizard Countdown, eight on CinemaBlend,
00:27:15.859 –> 00:27:18.140
three on the TV Guide listing, one on the Digital
00:27:18.140 –> 00:27:20.880
Dream Door, 20 on Channel 4, and number three
00:27:20.880 –> 00:27:23.279
on the Ranker list. So a lot of love for the
00:27:23.279 –> 00:27:27.640
Looney Tunes. Then we have the Mighty Mouse Playhouse,
00:27:27.759 –> 00:27:29.400
which also appeared on four different lists.
00:27:29.519 –> 00:27:32.359
We have Mobile Suit Gundam, which appeared on
00:27:32.359 –> 00:27:35.660
one list. And we have the New Adventures. of
00:27:35.660 –> 00:27:40.319
flash gordon so laugh elements looney tunes mighty
00:27:40.319 –> 00:27:43.079
mouse playhouse mobile suit gundam and the new
00:27:43.079 –> 00:27:46.000
adventures of flash gordon steve what do you
00:27:46.000 –> 00:27:48.640
think i think really the only ones that might
00:27:48.640 –> 00:27:53.019
show up here are looney tunes mighty mouse and
00:27:53.019 –> 00:27:55.299
mobile suit gundam because gundam kind of is
00:27:55.299 –> 00:28:02.240
a big thing i’m not a fan of gundam but i i get
00:28:02.240 –> 00:28:06.119
that it’s a huge anime of you know animation
00:28:06.119 –> 00:28:09.000
and and so like i i could definitely see that
00:28:09.000 –> 00:28:15.539
showing up mike what do you think i hope it shows
00:28:15.539 –> 00:28:20.420
i know you love your laugh olympics i y ‘all
00:28:20.420 –> 00:28:24.980
gonna understand that that was special that was
00:28:24.980 –> 00:28:27.240
and i don’t mean you guys because you guys know
00:28:27.240 –> 00:28:29.119
when i’m when i say y ‘all i’m talking to the
00:28:29.119 –> 00:28:35.619
audience that is The Scooby -Doobies, the dum
00:28:35.619 –> 00:28:38.380
-dums, the this, the that. That was the Hanna
00:28:38.380 –> 00:28:44.240
-Barbera characters teaming up. You never saw
00:28:44.240 –> 00:28:49.099
that. You never saw Scooby -Doo going into dino
00:28:49.099 –> 00:28:52.380
-mutt. And Blue Falcon. You never really, I mean,
00:28:52.420 –> 00:28:55.380
I’m sure they had one or two, maybe just one.
00:28:55.480 –> 00:28:58.359
I’m sure you can say which one, Optimus Solo,
00:28:58.480 –> 00:29:00.640
but it’s just one of those things where that
00:29:00.640 –> 00:29:02.880
was the coolest thing about Laugh Olympics was
00:29:02.880 –> 00:29:05.259
that you had all the Hanna -Barbera characters
00:29:05.259 –> 00:29:09.819
doing Olympic event type thing. Same thing is
00:29:09.819 –> 00:29:12.819
Laugh Olympics and Wacky Races are essentially
00:29:12.819 –> 00:29:16.759
the same damn thing. Sort of, kind of. Same type.
00:29:17.399 –> 00:29:19.940
But I would like to see Laugh Olympics in there,
00:29:19.980 –> 00:29:22.079
even if it’s low. I don’t care. I don’t care
00:29:22.079 –> 00:29:25.420
if it’s at 99, but at least it made it in. And
00:29:25.420 –> 00:29:28.819
then obviously, like Steve said, with Looney
00:29:28.819 –> 00:29:33.099
Tunes. Was it Looney Tunes? Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:33.140 –> 00:29:37.099
Looney Tunes has to make it. I mean, it would
00:29:37.099 –> 00:29:42.460
be a. Without Looney Tunes, we wouldn’t freaking
00:29:42.460 –> 00:29:45.960
be here. I don’t think anything is going to go
00:29:45.960 –> 00:29:48.180
from number four on our previous list to boost
00:29:48.180 –> 00:29:52.440
it off of the last 15 years. Yeah, I understand
00:29:52.440 –> 00:29:56.180
that. But I’m just saying, like you said, we’ve
00:29:56.180 –> 00:30:00.279
had 15 more years. That’s a decade and a half
00:30:00.279 –> 00:30:05.460
of a new generation that may not. You’d be surprised
00:30:05.460 –> 00:30:08.880
how many doom scrolling Instagram reels I find
00:30:08.880 –> 00:30:11.380
of people finding Looney Tunes for the first
00:30:11.380 –> 00:30:14.640
time and just like, oh my God, what is this?
00:30:14.680 –> 00:30:16.359
And some of them like it and some of them don’t.
00:30:16.480 –> 00:30:20.619
It’s weird. Like I said, out of this set of five,
00:30:20.900 –> 00:30:22.640
Looney Tunes was the only one that made it. We’ll
00:30:22.640 –> 00:30:25.059
have to see if Mighty Mouse or Mobile Suit Gundam
00:30:25.059 –> 00:30:27.720
can make a push to crack into our list this time.
00:30:28.009 –> 00:30:31.130
Just a quick clarification. Mighty Mouse Playhouse.
00:30:31.250 –> 00:30:34.490
That’s not the same thing as New Adventures of
00:30:34.490 –> 00:30:36.089
Mighty Mouse, right? Because I don’t remember
00:30:36.089 –> 00:30:39.190
Mighty Mouse Playhouse. I remember the original.
00:30:39.670 –> 00:30:41.269
I mean, obviously, Mighty Mouse was a theatrical
00:30:41.269 –> 00:30:43.750
short first, but Mighty Mouse Playhouse was like
00:30:43.750 –> 00:30:47.150
the 1955, the first compilation made for TV.
00:30:47.970 –> 00:30:52.809
I only remember the 80s or the 90s version, the
00:30:52.809 –> 00:30:55.869
New Adventures of Mighty Mouse. The theme song
00:30:55.869 –> 00:30:58.180
you definitely know from the 50s, though. That
00:30:58.180 –> 00:31:01.579
is probably here to save the day. Paddington
00:31:01.579 –> 00:31:03.759
peered thoughtfully at the box and then hurried
00:31:03.759 –> 00:31:18.680
out to the kitchen. Oh, no flowers for me, sweetie.
00:31:19.259 –> 00:31:23.180
I’ll just borrow some from me good. My favorite
00:31:23.180 –> 00:31:33.019
pet petunias. Why, I’ll… Well, as long as you’re
00:31:33.019 –> 00:31:34.940
back anyway, I might as well explain what’s been
00:31:34.940 –> 00:31:37.720
going on. We all know that everybody can do something,
00:31:37.799 –> 00:31:40.220
even Bullwinkle, who proved beyond a doubt that
00:31:40.220 –> 00:31:42.400
he can remember everything he ever ate. What
00:31:42.400 –> 00:31:45.380
did you have for dinner 25 years ago today, Bullwinkle?
00:31:46.440 –> 00:31:49.519
Moose milk. Boy, you really can remember everything
00:31:49.519 –> 00:31:52.500
you ever ate. That was too easy, Rock. 25 years
00:31:52.500 –> 00:31:55.380
ago, I always had moose milk. You were an addict?
00:31:55.779 –> 00:31:58.480
No, a baby. But Bullwinkle is grown up now, and
00:31:58.480 –> 00:32:01.279
he must learn to face the facts. Now, everybody
00:32:01.279 –> 00:32:03.660
try to find a good hiding place. This old tree
00:32:03.660 –> 00:32:05.599
is going to be the base. I’m going to close my
00:32:05.599 –> 00:32:08.279
eyes and hide my face and count to 100 by fives.
00:32:08.319 –> 00:32:12.079
Ready? Go. What a nervous night to be walking
00:32:12.079 –> 00:32:15.440
home from the movies, Scooby -Doo. And all because
00:32:15.440 –> 00:32:19.240
you had to stay and see Star, Dog Ranger of the
00:32:19.240 –> 00:32:28.619
North Woods, twice. It’s coming from the bushes.
00:32:29.019 –> 00:32:33.319
Go see what it is, Scooby. Don’t worry. I’m right
00:32:33.319 –> 00:32:39.259
behind you. All right. Next set of five. You
00:32:39.259 –> 00:32:41.180
thought? that we had a heavy hitter with Looney
00:32:41.180 –> 00:32:43.599
Tunes, which may be one of the heaviest hitters
00:32:43.599 –> 00:32:45.519
of the day. We’re getting a group of them here,
00:32:45.660 –> 00:32:48.619
probably. So with our next set of five, we have
00:32:48.619 –> 00:32:52.059
from the 1970s, Paddington. We have from the
00:32:52.059 –> 00:32:55.839
1960s, Popeye the Sailor. That was on eight of
00:32:55.839 –> 00:32:57.819
the nine lists that we looked at, including number
00:32:57.819 –> 00:33:01.099
53 on our list originally. We have Rocky and
00:33:01.099 –> 00:33:03.839
Bullwinkle Show, which was on seven of the nine
00:33:03.839 –> 00:33:06.960
lists and was originally ranked number 25 on
00:33:06.960 –> 00:33:10.569
our first list. We have another 70s powerhouse
00:33:10.569 –> 00:33:14.089
with Stoolhouse Rock. It appeared on four out
00:33:14.089 –> 00:33:16.609
of the nine lists. It also has four wins and
00:33:16.609 –> 00:33:20.069
four nominations for awards. And then rounding
00:33:20.069 –> 00:33:23.190
off this set of five, if those weren’t enough,
00:33:23.329 –> 00:33:26.210
let’s add in Scooby -Doo Where Are You from the
00:33:26.210 –> 00:33:29.029
1960s, which was on all nine lists that we looked
00:33:29.029 –> 00:33:30.769
at. That’s the first one of those that we’ve
00:33:30.769 –> 00:33:33.470
seen, and it was ranked number 14 by us originally.
00:33:33.569 –> 00:33:36.500
So we have one of them ranked… 14, 25, and
00:33:36.500 –> 00:33:38.880
53 originally. We did not rank Paddington or
00:33:38.880 –> 00:33:40.880
Schoolhouse Rock. Steve, what do you think about
00:33:40.880 –> 00:33:44.980
this set of five? It’s got a lot of good contenders
00:33:44.980 –> 00:33:51.059
here. I could see Scooby -Doo showing up. I could
00:33:51.059 –> 00:33:54.279
see Paddington. I could see Schoolhouse Rock.
00:33:54.579 –> 00:34:00.240
But again, this is 15 years later. There’s 15
00:34:00.240 –> 00:34:05.890
years more animated series out. people who were
00:34:05.890 –> 00:34:08.690
15 years younger when we started this journey
00:34:08.690 –> 00:34:13.050
yeah and right and so some of the people we may
00:34:13.050 –> 00:34:16.489
be inquiring lists from may be very skewed towards
00:34:16.489 –> 00:34:19.050
newer stuff whereas we’re very skewed towards
00:34:19.050 –> 00:34:22.349
old right the question is going to end up being
00:34:22.349 –> 00:34:25.849
interesting when we have something ranked like
00:34:25.849 –> 00:34:27.670
i would think that there would be like it won’t
00:34:27.670 –> 00:34:30.349
work out like perfect like this but where if
00:34:30.349 –> 00:34:33.559
you were on our original list How high did you
00:34:33.559 –> 00:34:36.780
have to be ranked in order to be safe and on
00:34:36.780 –> 00:34:38.659
this list? You know what I mean? You would think
00:34:38.659 –> 00:34:41.599
the top 50 maybe from our first list should still
00:34:41.599 –> 00:34:44.820
be safe. Will anything fall 50 spots from the
00:34:44.820 –> 00:34:47.860
last 15 years? But that’s just a stab in the
00:34:47.860 –> 00:34:51.179
dark. Or is the top 40 safe? Or is the top 60
00:34:51.179 –> 00:34:54.199
safe? Where is that line where it’s like you
00:34:54.199 –> 00:34:56.000
get into the thing where, well, there’s been
00:34:56.000 –> 00:34:58.400
how many more additions from the last 15 years
00:34:58.400 –> 00:35:00.230
that are going to start booting out? Something
00:35:00.230 –> 00:35:02.070
that we had, like Hong Kong Fooey, we had that
00:35:02.070 –> 00:35:04.590
ranked at 96. You would think that would be in
00:35:04.590 –> 00:35:08.429
much more jeopardy than maybe Rocky and Bullwinkle,
00:35:08.510 –> 00:35:12.610
which we had ranked 25. Is something ranked 25
00:35:12.610 –> 00:35:14.869
going to slide 75 spots out of the countdown?
00:35:14.969 –> 00:35:16.650
I know, like Steve says, it definitely depends
00:35:16.650 –> 00:35:19.130
on the makeup of the people we have involved,
00:35:19.369 –> 00:35:23.630
for sure. Whether you have more females or more
00:35:23.630 –> 00:35:26.690
males. Whether you have more people born before
00:35:26.690 –> 00:35:31.789
1990 or after 1990. All that kind of stuff can
00:35:31.789 –> 00:35:33.230
play into this, so it’s going to be interesting.
00:35:34.010 –> 00:35:36.329
Mike, we had Popeye, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and
00:35:36.329 –> 00:35:38.269
Scooby -Doo on our original list. No Schoolhouse
00:35:38.269 –> 00:35:40.289
Rock or Paddington. Do you think that stays the
00:35:40.289 –> 00:35:44.449
same or changes? I think it stays the same, but
00:35:44.449 –> 00:35:46.690
I think you could add Schoolhouse. I’ve never
00:35:46.690 –> 00:35:49.570
gotten into Paddington. That’s one that you have
00:35:49.570 –> 00:35:52.269
to wonder if the movies that have come out, what
00:35:52.269 –> 00:35:54.969
has there been, three live -action movies that
00:35:54.969 –> 00:35:57.820
have come out in the last five? 10 years. Will
00:35:57.820 –> 00:36:00.219
those affect that? I don’t know. Is that enough
00:36:00.219 –> 00:36:02.280
to get that in there? It’s hard to say. With
00:36:02.280 –> 00:36:05.699
Schoolhouse Rock, is being 15 more years in the
00:36:05.699 –> 00:36:08.199
past or has there been enough time where people
00:36:08.199 –> 00:36:10.639
will appreciate it? Some stuff grows with time.
00:36:10.860 –> 00:36:13.800
Some stuff people love through time and some
00:36:13.800 –> 00:36:17.380
stuff fades more into the history books. It’s
00:36:17.380 –> 00:36:20.059
interesting how that works. I would be shocked
00:36:20.059 –> 00:36:23.840
if Scooby -Doo and Rocky and Bullwinkle don’t
00:36:23.840 –> 00:36:26.780
make it. I think Popeye makes it. But I don’t
00:36:26.780 –> 00:36:30.659
think it’s nearly as high as 53 anymore. Yeah.
00:36:31.340 –> 00:36:34.280
See, that’s going to be the interesting thing
00:36:34.280 –> 00:36:36.719
as we talk through these five episodes, folks.
00:36:36.780 –> 00:36:39.380
As we talk through all of these selections and
00:36:39.380 –> 00:36:41.539
figuring out where we think they’re going to
00:36:41.539 –> 00:36:45.000
land. Because obviously some of these aren’t
00:36:45.000 –> 00:36:47.760
going to make it. But like you’re saying with
00:36:47.760 –> 00:36:50.559
Popeye, is he going to make it as high as 53?
00:36:50.760 –> 00:36:55.719
Or is he going to end up at 97? 84 or whatever
00:36:55.719 –> 00:36:59.320
i don’t know if that can of spinach can get him
00:36:59.320 –> 00:37:03.739
as high as 53 anymore we will have to see so
00:37:03.739 –> 00:37:05.920
that’s the first half of shows that are eligible
00:37:05.920 –> 00:37:09.880
from this time period let’s jump into the second
00:37:09.880 –> 00:37:13.289
half Dr. Williams, are you all right? I’m okay,
00:37:13.309 –> 00:37:16.489
Ed. It’s the lab I’m worried about. I don’t understand.
00:37:16.530 –> 00:37:19.230
The heating system is working, yet the temperature
00:37:19.230 –> 00:37:23.150
is falling fast. And it will fall faster, space
00:37:23.150 –> 00:37:29.889
ghost. Breach. Wrench. Socket. Socket. Plug.
00:37:30.030 –> 00:37:34.340
Motor. Curve. Chassis. Speed buggy. That’s me.
00:37:34.519 –> 00:37:36.719
You are watching the most advanced designed and
00:37:36.719 –> 00:37:38.920
one of the fastest racing cars in the world.
00:37:39.239 –> 00:37:43.019
It’s called the Mach 5. Watch it really go. Mach
00:37:43.019 –> 00:37:45.699
5 is the result of brilliant concept and design
00:37:45.699 –> 00:37:48.940
and hard work. It was built by one of the geniuses
00:37:48.940 –> 00:37:51.940
of the automotive industry, my father. And you’re
00:37:51.940 –> 00:37:54.679
about to see just how the fabulous Mach 5 came
00:37:54.679 –> 00:37:57.420
to be. But first, let me demonstrate how well
00:37:57.420 –> 00:38:01.420
it handles. Spider sensor’s tickling. Something’s
00:38:01.420 –> 00:38:06.340
wrong up front. What in the name of J. Jonah
00:38:06.340 –> 00:38:27.489
Jameson is that? Nothing can withstand me. So
00:38:27.489 –> 00:38:30.570
in the second half, we have a couple from the
00:38:30.570 –> 00:38:32.869
70s here. We’ll have to see if these… It’s
00:38:32.869 –> 00:38:34.650
interesting with this set because there’s a couple
00:38:34.650 –> 00:38:36.989
that I think are more popular for a future version
00:38:36.989 –> 00:38:39.690
of these shows, which also is interesting when
00:38:39.690 –> 00:38:42.869
any franchise or show has already been rebooted
00:38:42.869 –> 00:38:45.110
or reimagined multiple times, how that all works
00:38:45.110 –> 00:38:47.949
out. So we have from the 1970s, we have C -Lab
00:38:47.949 –> 00:38:51.010
2020. Did not make any of the lists we looked
00:38:51.010 –> 00:38:53.949
at. Obviously, C -Lab 2021 or whatever comes
00:38:53.949 –> 00:38:57.250
out as part of Adult Swim and has a different
00:38:57.250 –> 00:39:01.750
type of life. We have Speed Buggy from the 1970s.
00:39:02.329 –> 00:39:04.210
We have, oh, I didn’t do this in alphabetical
00:39:04.210 –> 00:39:05.690
order. This one was supposed to come first. Space
00:39:05.690 –> 00:39:10.769
Ghost and Dino, which was also obviously later
00:39:10.769 –> 00:39:13.389
redone into Space Ghost Coast to Coast, even
00:39:13.389 –> 00:39:15.409
though it’s completely different. We have the
00:39:15.409 –> 00:39:20.590
1960s version of Speed Racer. That’s 1967. And
00:39:20.590 –> 00:39:24.190
we also have from 1967 that version of Spider
00:39:24.190 –> 00:39:27.369
-Man, which out of this group, only one made
00:39:27.369 –> 00:39:29.949
our original list. That would be Spider -Man,
00:39:29.949 –> 00:39:35.889
which was ranked 81 on our original list. So
00:39:35.889 –> 00:39:43.230
how do we feel about this set, Mike? Other than
00:39:43.230 –> 00:39:45.230
sputtering speed book, I’m probably not voting
00:39:45.230 –> 00:39:50.070
for any of it. I did not like the 1967 Spider
00:39:50.070 –> 00:39:55.110
-Man. I don’t know what it was about that one.
00:39:55.750 –> 00:39:59.110
Maybe it was the animation. I don’t know. It
00:39:59.110 –> 00:40:03.230
just didn’t hit with me. As far as the lists
00:40:03.230 –> 00:40:05.130
that we looked at, the only ones that appeared
00:40:05.130 –> 00:40:06.809
on a couple different lists would have been Speed
00:40:06.809 –> 00:40:11.429
Racer and Spider -Man. Yeah. Steve, what do you
00:40:11.429 –> 00:40:18.150
think of these? Hmm. I remember all of these
00:40:18.150 –> 00:40:21.570
shows. Yeah, coming after Scooby -Doo and Popeye
00:40:21.570 –> 00:40:23.090
and Rocky and Bullwinkle. It’s interesting. Yeah,
00:40:23.090 –> 00:40:25.909
exactly. It’s like, wow, we just went into the
00:40:25.909 –> 00:40:30.349
trash can. Well, I mean, yeah. I mean, Popeye
00:40:30.349 –> 00:40:32.869
is great. I could see him possibly showing up.
00:40:32.929 –> 00:40:35.550
But again, a lot of these depend on if they’ve
00:40:35.550 –> 00:40:40.409
had a modern resurgence somewhere. And again,
00:40:41.050 –> 00:40:43.929
depends on the pool of people we have that are
00:40:43.929 –> 00:40:48.400
submitting lists. I don’t foresee really any
00:40:48.400 –> 00:40:54.059
of these showing up. I mean, I had Speed Buggy
00:40:54.059 –> 00:40:58.119
on my original list in the 90 to 81 section.
00:40:58.420 –> 00:41:04.139
I think it was like 89 or something. I had to
00:41:04.139 –> 00:41:05.900
take out my old list. I was like, I know I have
00:41:05.900 –> 00:41:08.139
this somewhere. I pulled out an external hard
00:41:08.139 –> 00:41:09.920
drive that I had this backed up on. I’m like,
00:41:09.980 –> 00:41:12.960
there’s my list. There’s my list. That’s right.
00:41:15.719 –> 00:41:19.260
Yeah, I’ve got a number of shows that are just,
00:41:19.320 –> 00:41:23.920
they take place between the 80s, 90s, and that’s
00:41:23.920 –> 00:41:28.119
the bulk of my stuff. I think with Spider -Man,
00:41:28.219 –> 00:41:30.739
it was ranked number 81 on our list, and I think
00:41:30.739 –> 00:41:33.000
that’s the danger zone. Like, if you’re in the
00:41:33.000 –> 00:41:36.179
80s or 90s, you’re in trouble. Yeah, absolutely.
00:41:36.719 –> 00:41:40.780
One thing I’ll say is, I didn’t realize C -Lab
00:41:40.780 –> 00:41:46.909
2020 was that old. I had no idea it was in the
00:41:46.909 –> 00:41:51.030
70s or 60s or wherever it is. 1972, yep. Okay,
00:41:51.070 –> 00:41:54.289
yeah, but I didn’t realize. I thought that it
00:41:54.289 –> 00:41:57.570
was at least early 2000s, especially when C -Lab
00:41:57.570 –> 00:42:00.449
2020. I’ve never seen either one. They’re not
00:42:00.449 –> 00:42:05.170
my shows, but I’ve heard of C -Lab 2021. Didn’t
00:42:05.170 –> 00:42:10.670
even realize that C -Lab 2020 was over 50 years
00:42:10.670 –> 00:42:14.389
ago. Crazy. Time flies when you’re watching cartoons.
00:42:15.070 –> 00:42:17.590
That’s right. All right, moving into the next
00:42:17.590 –> 00:42:20.409
set. Captain, did you notice Dr. McCoy’s reaction
00:42:20.409 –> 00:42:22.250
when I asked him if there was any possibility
00:42:22.250 –> 00:42:24.710
he might have made an error? He said there’s
00:42:24.710 –> 00:42:27.170
always that possibility. And that’s not like
00:42:27.170 –> 00:42:34.170
bones at all. Come on. Free geek service to anyone
00:42:34.170 –> 00:42:36.769
who wants it. Goodfellow made that announcement
00:42:36.769 –> 00:42:39.250
a month ago. And since that time, most of the
00:42:39.250 –> 00:42:41.650
people have subscribed to geek service. It’s
00:42:41.650 –> 00:42:44.090
a serious situation. The geek has completely
00:42:44.090 –> 00:42:47.590
changed the lifestyle of the world. In what way?
00:42:47.829 –> 00:42:50.489
I’ll show you. Look out the window at what used
00:42:50.489 –> 00:42:53.329
to be a busy downtown street. Great Neptune.
00:42:53.710 –> 00:42:56.670
Where is everyone? Geek subscribers are all at
00:42:56.670 –> 00:42:59.150
home. Men don’t have to go to their jobs anymore.
00:42:59.789 –> 00:43:01.750
Women don’t have to go shopping. The good old
00:43:01.750 –> 00:43:04.269
geek takes care of everything. Whatever they
00:43:04.269 –> 00:43:06.269
need at home is delivered by these geek trucks.
00:43:06.670 –> 00:43:10.030
No drivers. That truck is carrying supplies to
00:43:10.030 –> 00:43:13.289
a factory. An automated factory. No workers.
00:43:13.829 –> 00:43:17.349
Hey, who tripped me? Not me, Fats. I wouldn’t
00:43:17.349 –> 00:43:19.590
do a thing like that. Me neither. You must have
00:43:19.590 –> 00:43:22.690
tripped over that itty -bitty ant. Correct. You
00:43:22.690 –> 00:43:27.489
were tripped up by me, Adam Ant. The sneaky service
00:43:27.489 –> 00:43:31.070
is real proud of you, secret squirrel. I knew
00:43:31.070 –> 00:43:33.130
you were the only agent that could bring in yellow
00:43:33.130 –> 00:43:37.730
pink here. You’re so right, chief. It’s time
00:43:37.730 –> 00:43:40.329
for official Banana Splits Club business. Bingo,
00:43:40.530 –> 00:43:43.250
as official temporary second banana, please check
00:43:43.250 –> 00:43:45.750
attendance. Yeah, but we all know who’s here,
00:43:45.829 –> 00:43:48.510
Fleek. When fighting crime, your police department
00:43:48.510 –> 00:43:51.849
never overlooks the slightest clue. A small scratch
00:43:51.849 –> 00:43:54.449
on the inside of a safe door proved to have been
00:43:54.449 –> 00:43:57.489
made by the rim of someone’s glasses. This clue
00:43:57.489 –> 00:43:59.889
turned out to be an important factor in the arrest
00:43:59.889 –> 00:44:03.269
of one of three suspects. Now let’s see what’s
00:44:03.269 –> 00:44:06.889
lined up for our next cartoon. We have Star Trek
00:44:06.889 –> 00:44:09.690
The Animated Series from 1973. It had one win
00:44:09.690 –> 00:44:12.269
and one nomination. It was on the IGN list originally,
00:44:12.349 –> 00:44:17.269
but not on ours. Super Friends, I guess all -encompassing
00:44:17.269 –> 00:44:19.369
Super Friends. It was ranked number 40 by us
00:44:19.369 –> 00:44:22.300
originally. 50 by IGN. It also appeared in three
00:44:22.300 –> 00:44:25.320
other lists. We have the Adamantin Secret Squirrel
00:44:25.320 –> 00:44:28.719
Show from the 1960s, the Banana Splits from the
00:44:28.719 –> 00:44:33.019
1960s, and the Dick Tracy Show from 1961. So
00:44:33.019 –> 00:44:36.280
a series of 1960 shows, but the ones that seemed
00:44:36.280 –> 00:44:38.780
like they garnered the most attention from other
00:44:38.780 –> 00:44:40.699
lists that we looked at, including ours, were
00:44:40.699 –> 00:44:43.159
Super Friends and Star Trek The Antics Series.
00:44:43.300 –> 00:44:48.739
Steve, what do you think about these five? Well,
00:44:48.780 –> 00:44:54.079
I had… Super Friends and The Adamant and Secret
00:44:54.079 –> 00:44:57.659
Squirrel on my original list. I don’t know if
00:44:57.659 –> 00:44:59.960
they would make it to the new list. And the same
00:44:59.960 –> 00:45:02.079
goes for Star Trek, the animated series. I did
00:45:02.079 –> 00:45:06.320
not have it on my original list. And I still
00:45:06.320 –> 00:45:08.519
stand by the decision because we’ve had some
00:45:08.519 –> 00:45:12.239
better Star Trek series in the last 10 years
00:45:12.239 –> 00:45:16.570
that I would argue deserve a spot. Right, and
00:45:16.570 –> 00:45:17.710
that’s the other thing that becomes interesting,
00:45:17.809 –> 00:45:19.590
because before it was the only Star Trek animated
00:45:19.590 –> 00:45:22.769
series, and now it is one of, what, three or
00:45:22.769 –> 00:45:25.110
four that have come out? At least three that
00:45:25.110 –> 00:45:28.949
have… Yeah, it’s one of three. Yeah, there’s
00:45:28.949 –> 00:45:31.409
Prodigy and Lower Decks. So that’s also something
00:45:31.409 –> 00:45:33.869
that starts playing into it, like for a series
00:45:33.869 –> 00:45:37.570
that appeared when we did this 15 years ago that
00:45:37.570 –> 00:45:39.269
didn’t have any competition in their franchise
00:45:39.269 –> 00:45:43.309
with other series, and then now they do, such
00:45:43.309 –> 00:45:46.510
as that. such as Star Wars has had a number of
00:45:46.510 –> 00:45:47.650
different series that have come out in the last
00:45:47.650 –> 00:45:50.670
15 years. It’s still stuff like that. It’s like
00:45:50.670 –> 00:45:53.630
Batman and the Ninja Turtles have all had multiple
00:45:53.630 –> 00:45:56.610
revivals and DuckTales. All of the Marvel, all
00:45:56.610 –> 00:45:58.769
of the DC stuff has had new stuff. Before there
00:45:58.769 –> 00:46:00.750
used to only be one DuckTales, one Animaniacs,
00:46:00.809 –> 00:46:03.150
now there’s two. Stuff like that. It’s interesting
00:46:03.150 –> 00:46:05.889
how that would play out. Wait a minute. Prodigy
00:46:05.889 –> 00:46:09.889
is animated? Star Trek Prodigy? Yeah. It’s CGI.
00:46:09.909 –> 00:46:13.880
It was on Nickelodeon. I thought that was live
00:46:13.880 –> 00:46:18.380
action. No. They just had Discovery, Picard,
00:46:18.420 –> 00:46:22.599
and Strange New Worlds and that garbage shoot
00:46:22.599 –> 00:46:25.599
that’s section 31. If we were ranking classic
00:46:25.599 –> 00:46:28.460
action figure lines, then I might vote for Dick
00:46:28.460 –> 00:46:30.480
Tracy, but I can’t vote for it just based off
00:46:30.480 –> 00:46:37.380
of the cartoon. No. And I’ve watched way more
00:46:37.380 –> 00:46:39.539
super friends than I did at this point, 15 years
00:46:39.539 –> 00:46:41.280
ago, since I’ve watched like three of the series
00:46:41.280 –> 00:46:44.260
in their entirety so far or three seasons. But
00:46:44.260 –> 00:46:47.619
yeah, because you were doing your, uh, uh, uh,
00:46:47.760 –> 00:46:53.559
yes. Okay. So, uh, yeah. So I’ve done all the
00:46:53.559 –> 00:46:54.880
ones that appeared in the eighties. I’ve watched
00:46:54.880 –> 00:46:56.960
all of those and there’s some that are definitely
00:46:56.960 –> 00:47:00.980
better than others, but like Steve said, now
00:47:00.980 –> 00:47:03.880
15 more years of Marvel and DC stuff has come
00:47:03.880 –> 00:47:07.929
out. Oh, yeah. That may be one that, even though
00:47:07.929 –> 00:47:10.170
it was ranked 40 on our list originally, that
00:47:10.170 –> 00:47:12.809
may be one of the ones that drops the most. Oh,
00:47:12.809 –> 00:47:15.030
yeah. It could be dropped completely off, and
00:47:15.030 –> 00:47:16.869
that would be something where I didn’t think
00:47:16.869 –> 00:47:18.570
anything in the top 50 would fall off, but I
00:47:18.570 –> 00:47:20.130
could see Super Friends falling off completely.
00:47:20.929 –> 00:47:23.309
Yeah. We’ll have to wait and see. Give me the
00:47:23.309 –> 00:47:25.829
list again. Star Trek, the animated series, Super
00:47:25.829 –> 00:47:27.909
Friends, Adamant, and Secret Squirrel Show, Banana
00:47:27.909 –> 00:47:30.789
Splits, and Dick Tracy. Secret Squirrel is the
00:47:30.789 –> 00:47:34.889
only one I would probably vote for. I love Secret
00:47:34.889 –> 00:47:37.750
Squirrel. Secret Squirrel is so, like, that show
00:47:37.750 –> 00:47:42.190
was so, out of all of the random animal shows
00:47:42.190 –> 00:47:47.710
that we got back then. No, seriously, like, Secret
00:47:47.710 –> 00:47:50.690
Squirrel. I get it. Okay, no, no, no. Okay, hear
00:47:50.690 –> 00:47:53.769
me out, okay? I don’t think this will ever happen,
00:47:53.809 –> 00:47:57.329
and I would not, I don’t think I want it to happen.
00:47:57.429 –> 00:48:01.010
But let’s go back to that time. Could you imagine
00:48:01.010 –> 00:48:03.900
a Secret Squirrel? and Danger Mouse crossover,
00:48:04.400 –> 00:48:06.260
I would have loved that. That would have been
00:48:06.260 –> 00:48:08.920
amazing. They would have just called it Danger
00:48:08.920 –> 00:48:14.000
Squirrel. That’s right. That’s right. Alright,
00:48:14.139 –> 00:48:17.320
let’s move. Yeah, Secret Squirrel. Move on here.
00:48:17.400 –> 00:48:21.820
So up to this point, we’ve only had four shows
00:48:21.820 –> 00:48:25.360
that have been on at least six or more of the
00:48:25.360 –> 00:48:28.079
list that we looked at. So those four shows would
00:48:28.079 –> 00:48:30.480
be the Looney Tunes, Popeye, Rocky and Bullwinkle,
00:48:30.599 –> 00:48:33.840
and Scooby -Doo. We have three sets of five left,
00:48:33.960 –> 00:48:37.260
and we’re going to see six shows that were on
00:48:37.260 –> 00:48:39.760
at least six or more lists. So we’ve got some
00:48:39.760 –> 00:48:42.000
heavy hitters coming in these last three sets
00:48:42.000 –> 00:48:48.619
of five. Oh, boy, good old Sunday. Nothing to
00:48:48.619 –> 00:48:51.300
do but lazy around and read the Sunday paper.
00:48:53.559 –> 00:48:57.059
Oh, honey. Yes, Fred? Did you see the Sunday
00:48:57.059 –> 00:49:01.260
paper? No, Fred, it hasn’t come yet. For heaven’s
00:49:01.260 –> 00:49:04.940
sake, why’d you have to get me up so early? Why?
00:49:05.179 –> 00:49:08.579
Why? Today is the day for your first driving
00:49:08.579 –> 00:49:13.179
lesson, Mudsy, remember? That’s right, Mudsy.
00:49:13.260 –> 00:49:17.699
Slide over. Honey, it don’t. Why does a ghost
00:49:17.699 –> 00:49:20.380
have to learn to drive? What would you like,
00:49:20.420 –> 00:49:23.460
Gumby? A chocolate milkshake, please, without
00:49:23.460 –> 00:49:27.800
ice cream. What? No ice cream? It makes me so
00:49:27.800 –> 00:49:31.639
cold and stiff, I can’t move. But what’s this
00:49:31.639 –> 00:49:34.579
about inviting Mr. Spacely when all we have in
00:49:34.579 –> 00:49:36.699
the place is leftovers? I didn’t invite him,
00:49:36.719 –> 00:49:40.599
he invited himself. All right, all right, break.
00:49:40.900 –> 00:49:43.960
When does your boss get here? Any split second.
00:49:44.219 –> 00:49:47.679
Where are the leftovers? In the kitchen. Never
00:49:47.679 –> 00:49:53.500
fear, while Rosie’s here. Aloha, that’s Hawaiian
00:49:53.500 –> 00:49:56.920
talk for Howdy. This is old Beach Boy McGillis
00:49:56.920 –> 00:50:06.360
surfing at Wacky Wacky Beach. Uh -oh! What’s
00:50:06.360 –> 00:50:10.079
Hawaiian for ouch? All right. First off, we have
00:50:10.079 –> 00:50:15.119
from the 1960s. It was nominated for one award
00:50:15.119 –> 00:50:17.340
at least, which is interesting because that was
00:50:17.340 –> 00:50:19.860
a primetime award, not a daytime award. It was
00:50:19.860 –> 00:50:22.780
on all nine lists, including number nine on our
00:50:22.780 –> 00:50:26.010
list. We’re talking about the Flintstones. We
00:50:26.010 –> 00:50:29.750
also have, from the 1970s, the Funky Phantom.
00:50:30.730 –> 00:50:34.650
We have the Gumby Show from the 1950s. It appeared
00:50:34.650 –> 00:50:37.389
on one of the lists we looked at. We have a show
00:50:37.389 –> 00:50:39.210
that appeared on seven lists, and it was ranked
00:50:39.210 –> 00:50:42.030
45 on our original list. This would be the Jetsons.
00:50:42.750 –> 00:50:46.429
And then we also have the Magilla Gorilla Show
00:50:46.429 –> 00:50:48.909
from the 1960s, which did appear on one of the
00:50:48.909 –> 00:50:50.949
lists as well. So that’s the Flintstones, the
00:50:50.949 –> 00:50:54.789
Funky Phantom, the Gumby Show. The Jetsons and
00:50:54.789 –> 00:50:57.449
Magilla Gorilla. Mike, where do you want to start
00:50:57.449 –> 00:51:00.409
with this set of five? See, I grew up with all
00:51:00.409 –> 00:51:05.829
of these, and Jetsons and Flintstones are easily
00:51:05.829 –> 00:51:11.630
top 20. Easily top. Somewhere in the top 20.
00:51:14.409 –> 00:51:19.469
They just are. For you. They were 9 and 45 for
00:51:19.469 –> 00:51:23.219
us in the first round. Well, fine, but I’m saying,
00:51:23.400 –> 00:51:28.420
like, I’m just saying, that’s fine, but I’m saying,
00:51:28.519 –> 00:51:33.719
like, for what they did, and I think for how
00:51:33.719 –> 00:51:38.440
approachable they can be, like, to show these
00:51:38.440 –> 00:51:43.039
to people today, and just to have, like, you
00:51:43.039 –> 00:51:47.460
know, Steve, or either one of you guys, do you
00:51:47.460 –> 00:51:50.699
guys follow the Professor of Rock? On any social
00:51:50.699 –> 00:51:54.500
media? Okay, well, this is Guy, not Professor
00:51:54.500 –> 00:52:02.139
of Rock. Anyway, he does blind react to music,
00:52:02.300 –> 00:52:05.280
or he does the no react to, like, stand there
00:52:05.280 –> 00:52:07.900
and don’t react to the song type stuff. Like,
00:52:07.900 –> 00:52:10.420
show the Jetsons or the Flintstones to somebody
00:52:10.420 –> 00:52:13.260
and have them react to it. I think it would be
00:52:13.260 –> 00:52:16.059
a positive thing because it’s something that
00:52:16.059 –> 00:52:18.460
they’ve probably never seen before kind of thing.
00:52:19.019 –> 00:52:23.659
It’s not just because I grew up watching the
00:52:23.659 –> 00:52:26.519
Jetsons and the Flintstones, but it’s just they’re
00:52:26.519 –> 00:52:30.159
two very different shows that I think are really,
00:52:30.280 –> 00:52:33.880
really good. What else is it? Magilla. Magilla
00:52:33.880 –> 00:52:38.119
was fun. He probably, unfortunately, is going
00:52:38.119 –> 00:52:39.920
to be, if he makes the list, he’s going to be
00:52:39.920 –> 00:52:43.159
in the 80s or 90s. I feel like that’s one that
00:52:43.159 –> 00:52:45.739
the Hanna -Barbera group would knock Magilla
00:52:45.739 –> 00:52:49.710
Gorilla off. We also had the Funky Phantom and
00:52:49.710 –> 00:52:53.469
Gumby. Yeah, I don’t care about the Funky Phantom.
00:52:54.349 –> 00:52:59.289
Gumby… I like the blockheads. I thought Gumby
00:52:59.289 –> 00:53:01.170
would have made our original list, but it did
00:53:01.170 –> 00:53:06.050
not. Do you remember where it… I know you kept…
00:53:06.050 –> 00:53:08.750
I’d have to pull it up still. I still have it,
00:53:08.769 –> 00:53:10.150
but I would have to pull it up to see where it
00:53:10.150 –> 00:53:12.989
fell. I think one thing that a show like the
00:53:12.989 –> 00:53:14.670
Flintstones, besides it being groundbreaking
00:53:14.670 –> 00:53:18.489
for the… adult or for the time aspect of it
00:53:18.489 –> 00:53:21.829
and kind of the the way it paved the way for
00:53:21.829 –> 00:53:24.070
a lot of stuff that came in the 90s and since
00:53:24.070 –> 00:53:26.389
then i think one thing that the flintstones has
00:53:26.389 –> 00:53:29.070
similar to what we see with scooby -doo similar
00:53:29.070 –> 00:53:31.510
to what we see with looney tunes is the flintstones
00:53:31.510 –> 00:53:35.530
has been it hasn’t gone that long of a time period
00:53:35.530 –> 00:53:38.789
without it being brought back into pop culture
00:53:38.789 –> 00:53:41.630
whether it be through another series a movie
00:53:41.630 –> 00:53:45.050
or whatever the case may be maybe not as much
00:53:45.050 –> 00:53:49.079
in the last 10 ish years but for a long long
00:53:49.079 –> 00:53:50.940
time just like scooby -doo like right it gets
00:53:50.940 –> 00:53:52.679
reinvented every like couple years and do a new
00:53:52.679 –> 00:53:55.360
series etc looney tunes same thing i think that’s
00:53:55.360 –> 00:53:56.900
something that helps flintstones kind of stay
00:53:56.900 –> 00:53:59.400
in that top 50 range whereas jetsons hasn’t had
00:53:59.400 –> 00:54:01.780
that as much which even though it had like the
00:54:01.780 –> 00:54:03.579
series in the 60s and then it had a kind of a
00:54:03.579 –> 00:54:07.079
reboot in the 80s other than that we haven’t
00:54:07.079 –> 00:54:09.440
seen a whole lot of jetsons in the last 20 to
00:54:09.440 –> 00:54:12.570
30 So sometimes I feel like that may hurt it.
00:54:12.969 –> 00:54:16.369
I think the only time we’ve seen the Jetsons
00:54:16.369 –> 00:54:21.329
is in certain commercials. Like that one Walmart
00:54:21.329 –> 00:54:24.590
commercial where everybody was there. Like all
00:54:24.590 –> 00:54:28.110
the 80s. No, I agree. So to me, it comes down
00:54:28.110 –> 00:54:30.170
to the Flintstones, the Jetsons, or Gumby. Steve,
00:54:30.269 –> 00:54:32.010
what do you think? I think it just comes down
00:54:32.010 –> 00:54:36.590
to the Flintstones and the Jetsons. I honestly
00:54:36.590 –> 00:54:41.210
don’t see any other contenders there. I think
00:54:41.210 –> 00:54:43.329
that none of the other ones will show up. If
00:54:43.329 –> 00:54:45.909
very well, out of these five, it’ll be those
00:54:45.909 –> 00:54:49.630
two. Very well could be true. Are you local?
00:54:50.010 –> 00:54:52.630
Senior Brambles will kill you to pieces. And
00:54:52.630 –> 00:54:56.389
I’ll throw the pieces to the coyotes, tenderfoot.
00:54:57.429 –> 00:55:04.090
Whom’s a tenderfoot? You are. Oh, ouch, ow, ow,
00:55:04.110 –> 00:55:07.860
ow, ow. What do you say, quick straw? I said.
00:55:11.460 –> 00:55:15.559
We’ve got Crackula and Brainly’s brain. We’re
00:55:15.559 –> 00:55:18.760
over our junkyard, Mo. What do we do now? We
00:55:18.760 –> 00:55:27.860
deflate and… All in a day’s work for a robotic
00:55:27.860 –> 00:55:32.119
stooge. Go west, young man, go west. I’ll bet
00:55:32.119 –> 00:55:34.420
the guy who said that ain’t been west of Hoboken.
00:55:34.619 –> 00:55:47.449
Not a living thing in sight. All right, down
00:55:47.449 –> 00:55:50.730
to our last set of 10. So first half of that
00:55:50.730 –> 00:55:52.650
would be the Pink Panther show, which came out
00:55:52.650 –> 00:55:55.190
in 1969. It got a nomination. Six lists that
00:55:55.190 –> 00:55:57.349
it appeared on, including number 55 on our list.
00:55:57.570 –> 00:55:59.869
Quick Draw McGraw show, which got a nomination.
00:56:00.150 –> 00:56:01.809
It only appeared on one list, and it was not
00:56:01.809 –> 00:56:06.030
on our original list. We have the Robotic Stooges
00:56:06.030 –> 00:56:12.349
and the Tom and Jerry show from 1975. That appeared
00:56:12.349 –> 00:56:15.269
on lists, including number 33 on our original
00:56:15.269 –> 00:56:17.840
list. and the Woody Woodpecker Show, which appeared
00:56:17.840 –> 00:56:20.559
on seven lists, including number 84 on our original
00:56:20.559 –> 00:56:22.099
list. So we have two shows that had nominations
00:56:22.099 –> 00:56:24.519
for awards, Pink Panther Show and the Quick Draw
00:56:24.519 –> 00:56:26.840
McGraw Show. We had three shows that appeared
00:56:26.840 –> 00:56:29.199
on our original list, Woody Woodpecker, Pink
00:56:29.199 –> 00:56:33.159
Panther, and the Tom and Jerry Show. Steve, which
00:56:33.159 –> 00:56:34.900
one stands out in this group of five for you?
00:56:35.059 –> 00:56:37.420
Probably the Tom and Jerry Show. That was ranked
00:56:37.420 –> 00:56:39.440
the highest by us. Do you think the Pink Panther
00:56:39.440 –> 00:56:41.929
or Woody Woodpecker have a chance? Probably Woody
00:56:41.929 –> 00:56:44.269
Woodpecker only because they came out with, uh,
00:56:44.449 –> 00:56:48.070
some recent series of it, uh, or movies. And,
00:56:48.070 –> 00:56:52.030
uh, then people just kind of search it out on
00:56:52.030 –> 00:56:55.010
YouTube to watch. So I could see that having
00:56:55.010 –> 00:56:58.010
a resurgence as well. Mike, what do you think?
00:56:58.289 –> 00:57:01.429
Tom McGraw didn’t make our first list, but if
00:57:01.429 –> 00:57:04.349
it didn’t, I can’t see it making this list. No,
00:57:04.369 –> 00:57:08.849
I, I, I, as much as I love the quick straw, I
00:57:08.849 –> 00:57:12.269
don’t think. I don’t think even Baba Louie can
00:57:12.269 –> 00:57:16.010
get him on the list, unfortunately. Does Woody
00:57:16.010 –> 00:57:18.230
Woodpecker or Pink Panther have a chance? Oh,
00:57:18.230 –> 00:57:21.389
yeah. Tom and Jerry is universally classic, just
00:57:21.389 –> 00:57:23.289
like Scooby -Doo and everything else, so I hope
00:57:23.289 –> 00:57:25.570
that makes it. I’m pretty sure that will make
00:57:25.570 –> 00:57:29.670
it. I hope Pink Panther makes it. Pink Panther
00:57:29.670 –> 00:57:34.869
is one of those things where it’s infinitely
00:57:34.869 –> 00:57:39.820
classic in my mind. They had so many different
00:57:39.820 –> 00:57:44.199
versions of it over the years. They had so many
00:57:44.199 –> 00:57:47.840
versions of that that Inspector Clouseau actually
00:57:47.840 –> 00:57:50.920
popped out and became his own character and did
00:57:50.920 –> 00:57:53.960
his own separate movies a couple of times. And
00:57:53.960 –> 00:57:58.739
then they brought it back and you had the father
00:57:58.739 –> 00:58:02.119
of the bride be Inspector Clouseau in the live
00:58:02.119 –> 00:58:05.380
action Pink Panther movies. I’m like, oh my God.
00:58:05.639 –> 00:58:08.219
How did Steve Martin become Inspector Clouseau?
00:58:08.340 –> 00:58:12.659
That was just crazy. So I love the… And the
00:58:12.659 –> 00:58:15.159
coolest thing about the Pink Panther show, besides
00:58:15.159 –> 00:58:18.139
the Pink Panther himself, is the Ant and the
00:58:18.139 –> 00:58:22.340
Aardvark. I love those cartoons. This is so cool.
00:58:22.639 –> 00:58:28.420
Yeah. Okay, Yogi. I’ll be glad to let you read
00:58:28.420 –> 00:58:31.579
the telegram. You see, Boo, the ranger can’t
00:58:31.579 –> 00:58:34.750
make a move without me. This is one move I’m
00:58:34.750 –> 00:58:39.690
making without you, Yogi. Here, read this. Mr.
00:58:41.690 –> 00:58:44.690
Ranger, it means you’re leaving the park. It
00:58:44.690 –> 00:58:47.489
means I’m leaving you, Yogi. And I want to tell
00:58:47.489 –> 00:58:50.070
you, you’ve caused me nothing but trouble since
00:58:50.070 –> 00:58:53.369
I’ve been here. Filching picnic baskets. Yogi,
00:58:53.489 –> 00:58:57.949
you are a bad bear. And I’m glad to get away
00:58:57.949 –> 00:59:01.489
from you. Since we’re leveling, sir, let me point
00:59:01.489 –> 00:59:04.099
out… That we bears were here before you rangers.
00:59:04.360 –> 00:59:07.219
Now it’s don’t do this and don’t do that. And
00:59:07.219 –> 00:59:10.119
we’re always tripping over the red tape. For
00:59:10.119 –> 00:59:13.280
your information, sir, and there is nothing personal
00:59:13.280 –> 00:59:17.519
here, you are known to all the animals as Jughead
00:59:17.519 –> 00:59:20.280
Smith. I’m glad to know how you feel about me,
00:59:20.380 –> 00:59:24.340
Yogi. Goodbye and good riddance. If I never see
00:59:24.340 –> 00:59:28.070
a bear again, it’ll be too soon. Step right up,
00:59:28.070 –> 00:59:30.730
folks. This is it, the big time in the big top,
00:59:30.769 –> 00:59:33.190
where for a slight fee you will see right before
00:59:33.190 –> 00:59:35.869
your very eyes the most daring, unbelievable
00:59:35.869 –> 00:59:39.050
high trapeze act ever attempted. I call your
00:59:39.050 –> 00:59:41.730
attention to stage right for the start of this
00:59:41.730 –> 00:59:45.309
death -defying act. Nobody said anything about
00:59:45.309 –> 00:59:48.650
defying no death to me. This brave performer
00:59:48.650 –> 00:59:51.750
will swing across the street, catch his partner,
00:59:51.849 –> 00:59:55.329
and swing back all without a net. Now he tells
00:59:55.329 –> 01:00:18.210
me. Okay, my… All right, that leaves us with
01:00:18.210 –> 01:00:20.949
five final nominees for this time period. We’re
01:00:20.949 –> 01:00:23.230
going to go with four shows from the 60s and
01:00:23.230 –> 01:00:27.840
one from the 70s. So we have… From 1961, the
01:00:27.840 –> 01:00:31.820
Yogi Bear Show, which appeared on sixth list
01:00:31.820 –> 01:00:34.920
and was number 48 on our original Top 100. None
01:00:34.920 –> 01:00:37.079
of the rest appeared on any of our Top 100, but
01:00:37.079 –> 01:00:38.860
they did appear on at least one list that we
01:00:38.860 –> 01:00:42.599
looked at. We have from 1961 also Top Cat. We
01:00:42.599 –> 01:00:47.579
have from 1964, Underdog. From 1968, Wacky Races.
01:00:47.800 –> 01:00:52.300
And from 1977, What’s New, Mr. Magoo. So the
01:00:52.300 –> 01:00:55.420
Yogi Bear Show, Top Cat, Underdog, Wacky Races.
01:00:56.019 –> 01:00:58.820
What’s new, Mr. Magoo? Steve, any standout for
01:00:58.820 –> 01:01:04.699
you there? I know I had Top Cat and Yogi Bear
01:01:04.699 –> 01:01:07.599
on the original list that I had, but none of
01:01:07.599 –> 01:01:10.179
the other ones. Do you think either of those
01:01:10.179 –> 01:01:14.139
two stand a chance for this new iteration? Only
01:01:14.139 –> 01:01:17.119
Yogi Bear, to be honest, because they have the
01:01:17.119 –> 01:01:23.019
Yogi Bear campgrounds. They’ve had the movie
01:01:23.019 –> 01:01:25.179
that came out, I think it was like 10, 15 years
01:01:25.179 –> 01:01:32.659
ago with Tom Cavanaugh on it. Yeah, Justin Timberlake
01:01:32.659 –> 01:01:35.719
was in one too. Yeah, he was Boo Boo. And Dan
01:01:35.719 –> 01:01:39.199
Aykroyd was Yogi. But Tom Cavanaugh was Ranger
01:01:39.199 –> 01:01:46.500
Smith. So I mean, I could see it hanging around
01:01:46.500 –> 01:01:50.840
just because of that. film is that one that falls
01:01:50.840 –> 01:01:54.719
though from 48 to like the other end of the countdown
01:01:54.719 –> 01:01:57.619
or do you think i think so okay i mean i had
01:01:57.619 –> 01:02:01.880
it in my you know my back 20 you know close to
01:02:01.880 –> 01:02:08.400
between 181 so i i think it still fits i could
01:02:08.400 –> 01:02:10.679
see it sneaking in towards the the end of the
01:02:10.679 –> 01:02:14.539
countdown uh so to speak so mike what do you
01:02:14.539 –> 01:02:16.039
think of those i know you’re a big wacky races
01:02:16.039 –> 01:02:19.610
fan wacky races I know it’s getting your vote.
01:02:19.690 –> 01:02:24.969
Do you think it makes the top 100? I don’t think
01:02:24.969 –> 01:02:26.829
there’s enough people that would vote for it,
01:02:26.849 –> 01:02:30.010
but I hope it at least makes it close to getting
01:02:30.010 –> 01:02:34.110
in. Maybe 101, 102, something like that. I don’t
01:02:34.110 –> 01:02:38.010
know. What about Yogi Bear? Obviously, Yogi.
01:02:38.090 –> 01:02:41.349
Yeah, you got to get Yogi. Hey, boo -boo, I see
01:02:41.349 –> 01:02:46.289
a picnic basket over there. Go get it. Yeah,
01:02:46.389 –> 01:02:50.400
what else was in that group? Top Cat and Underdog?
01:02:50.460 –> 01:02:57.619
Top Cat’s got to get in. And Mr. Magoo. Between
01:02:57.619 –> 01:03:02.840
Top Cat, Underdog, and Mr. Magoo, I think Top
01:03:02.840 –> 01:03:07.440
Cat is… Underdog might have a chance, but I
01:03:07.440 –> 01:03:10.880
think Top Cat has the best chance. I don’t know
01:03:10.880 –> 01:03:16.960
of anyone besides maybe you and I, Kev, that
01:03:16.960 –> 01:03:20.539
have… Steve, you’ve never seen Mr. Magoo, have
01:03:20.539 –> 01:03:26.019
you? I’ve seen all of these. I watched so many
01:03:26.019 –> 01:03:29.320
cartoons as a kid, it’s insane. I understand,
01:03:29.820 –> 01:03:32.940
but sometimes I hear certain cartoons that I’ve
01:03:32.940 –> 01:03:35.119
seen and I’m like, how many of my friends have
01:03:35.119 –> 01:03:37.980
actually seen this? I never hear anyone talk
01:03:37.980 –> 01:03:43.079
about Mr. Magoo. Out of these, I liked Underdog
01:03:43.079 –> 01:03:46.550
and I liked Top Cat. underdog did have a cgi
01:03:46.550 –> 01:03:49.889
movie a few years back top cat has not had a
01:03:49.889 –> 01:03:53.469
revival no it hasn’t i feel like this one unless
01:03:53.469 –> 01:03:55.630
it’s our generation i don’t feel like they’re
01:03:55.630 –> 01:03:58.250
going to vote it in i think the other thing to
01:03:58.250 –> 01:04:00.409
consider too mike i know you said you know you
01:04:00.409 –> 01:04:02.909
hope wacky races at least gets close or something
01:04:02.909 –> 01:04:05.769
like that i would counter that with saying one
01:04:05.769 –> 01:04:07.329
thing we didn’t kind of talk about right off
01:04:07.329 –> 01:04:09.389
of the bat is any of the shows that are even
01:04:09.389 –> 01:04:12.449
getting mentioned today means that at least they
01:04:12.449 –> 01:04:15.070
were considered for their time period You know
01:04:15.070 –> 01:04:17.050
what I mean? So it is like, I guess we are saying
01:04:17.050 –> 01:04:19.090
that it’s at least top 50 of its time period,
01:04:19.230 –> 01:04:22.090
whether it comes close or not. Just by being
01:04:22.090 –> 01:04:24.829
mentioned, it means that it was in the 250 that
01:04:24.829 –> 01:04:27.269
we were considering, I guess you could say. So
01:04:27.269 –> 01:04:32.449
that’s something to speak for that. Mike, I think
01:04:32.449 –> 01:04:35.269
you had a mesmerizing edit loop in this podcast.
01:04:35.570 –> 01:04:40.389
Vote for this. Vote for this. Mike, do you need
01:04:40.389 –> 01:04:42.820
to pay the bills before we go any further? uh
01:04:42.820 –> 01:04:45.119
yeah i think so unless did you have anything
01:04:45.119 –> 01:04:50.039
else not until after we talk about the ai presence
01:04:50.039 –> 01:04:52.599
yep yep all right well we’re gonna get to the
01:04:52.599 –> 01:04:55.059
artificial intelligence before the actual intelligence
01:04:55.059 –> 01:05:00.659

a new Batman. It isn’t 65 years in the future,
01:06:07.039 –> 01:06:09.380
but Legends of the Dark Knight has gone beyond.

01:07:23.250 –> 01:07:26.929
Hi, welcome to UpNerd. What is UpNerd? UpNerd
01:07:26.929 –> 01:07:29.610
is a podcasting network of shows hosted by me,
01:07:29.769 –> 01:07:32.309
The Uneven Flow. People have told me I like to
01:07:32.309 –> 01:07:34.829
talk at them about a pretty wide range of topics.
01:07:34.929 –> 01:07:38.710
Comics, games, movies, books, whatever. And now
01:07:38.710 –> 01:07:41.690
I’ll be able to talk at you. Along with the weekly
01:07:41.690 –> 01:07:44.809
show will be two bi -weekly shows. First we have
01:07:44.809 –> 01:07:47.550
Fine You Pick, a show where one host picks a
01:07:47.550 –> 01:07:51.570
movie, then both hosts have to watch it. Then
01:07:51.570 –> 01:07:54.030
the next episode, the other host picks the movie.
01:07:54.289 –> 01:07:57.030
Each show will have a breakdown of why it is
01:07:57.030 –> 01:07:59.989
that movie was picked by that host, after which
01:07:59.989 –> 01:08:02.409
will be a discussion about what it is we just
01:08:02.409 –> 01:08:05.789
watched. Lastly, we have the show Top 3, Bottom
01:08:05.789 –> 01:08:09.650
3. Similarly to Fine, You Pick, one host picks
01:08:09.650 –> 01:08:12.650
a television series, and the next week, the pick
01:08:12.650 –> 01:08:15.659
alternates to the other host. Here, the episodes
01:08:15.659 –> 01:08:18.439
of the show are chosen by the top three episodes
01:08:18.439 –> 01:08:22.340
and the bottom three episodes, as rated on imdb
01:08:22.340 –> 01:08:25.680
.com. Yes, this is probably the worst way to
01:08:25.680 –> 01:08:28.479
watch and review a television show, and yes,
01:08:28.579 –> 01:08:31.460
that’s the idea. On our shows, I’ll detail out
01:08:31.460 –> 01:08:34.520
how you can suggest things for us to watch. You
01:08:34.520 –> 01:08:37.060
can reach out and talk with the hosts and maybe
01:08:37.060 –> 01:08:39.850
even appear on an episode. I hope you’ll join
01:08:39.850 –> 01:08:42.869
me for this exciting new podcast adventure. I
01:08:42.869 –> 01:08:45.010
swear we’re going to make it more than eight
01:08:45.010 –> 01:08:54.810
episodes. Hold it. Hold it right there. Let’s
01:08:54.810 –> 01:08:56.689
see if you’re really ready to watch this movie.
01:08:57.609 –> 01:09:01.770
Okay, popcorn? Check. Sloth drink? Check. Warner
01:09:01.770 –> 01:09:04.770
Brothers ball cap? Aha! You can’t watch a Warner
01:09:04.770 –> 01:09:06.810
Brothers movie without a Warner Brothers ball
01:09:06.810 –> 01:09:09.500
cap. Listen, Doc, what if they ordered a Warner
01:09:09.500 –> 01:09:12.600
Brothers ball cap so they had it next time? Well,
01:09:12.619 –> 01:09:15.279
uh… Here’s all you have to do, folks. Just
01:09:15.279 –> 01:09:20.079
send for this. A new Warner Brothers catalog.
01:09:20.619 –> 01:09:23.060
Use it to order your Warner Brothers ball cap.
01:09:23.880 –> 01:09:26.479
And while you’re at it, you can order stuff like
01:09:26.479 –> 01:09:34.279
T -shirts, posters, movie books, ties… That’s
01:09:34.279 –> 01:09:39.590
neckties! It’s all in the catalog, which you
01:09:39.590 –> 01:09:43.149
can get now by dialing this 900 number. So when
01:09:43.149 –> 01:09:45.430
you get a change, call… No, no, they have to
01:09:45.430 –> 01:09:47.750
call now. They can’t watch the movie until they
01:09:47.750 –> 01:09:56.329
order their new catalog. You’re despicable. Don’t
01:09:56.329 –> 01:09:59.279
forget to call, folks. Alright folks, we are
01:09:59.279 –> 01:10:03.659
back here on ToonCast. We are also simulcasting
01:10:03.659 –> 01:10:08.760
this on GeekCast Radio’s feed as well. So before
01:10:08.760 –> 01:10:13.840
we close out this first episode of the GCRN Top
01:10:13.840 –> 01:10:17.859
100 Nominees for Animated Series, Optimus Solo
01:10:17.859 –> 01:10:23.420
is going to take us through his AI chat GPT prediction
01:10:23.420 –> 01:10:30.609
thing he did. Okay. take it away so i thought
01:10:30.609 –> 01:10:35.649
it would be fun to just mess with online or ai
01:10:35.649 –> 01:10:38.930
uh as far as just asking it certain questions
01:10:38.930 –> 01:10:40.609
about our countdown to see what kind of things
01:10:40.609 –> 01:10:43.789
it said and we’ll get the panel’s reaction to
01:10:43.789 –> 01:10:46.649
the different things i said and what ai reacted
01:10:46.649 –> 01:10:48.489
and see if we think that they’re somewhat on
01:10:48.489 –> 01:10:54.890
the money or not so obviously it said that predicting
01:10:56.079 –> 01:10:57.739
How people are going to vote for the top 100
01:10:57.739 –> 01:11:00.800
animated series based on our list is going to
01:11:00.800 –> 01:11:04.300
require a balance of nostalgia, critical acclaim,
01:11:04.319 –> 01:11:06.920
cult fandom, broad appeal, things of that nature.
01:11:07.220 –> 01:11:09.760
So it said these things may play a part. Number
01:11:09.760 –> 01:11:12.180
one, nostalgia bias. Viewers tend to rank more
01:11:12.180 –> 01:11:14.279
familiar and emotionally resonant series higher.
01:11:14.720 –> 01:11:17.420
Those that grew up with often get preference.
01:11:18.260 –> 01:11:22.899
Critical acclaim versus popularity. So whether
01:11:22.899 –> 01:11:25.640
a show was praised both critically and popularly,
01:11:25.640 –> 01:11:28.039
if that’s the case, it almost guarantees a top
01:11:28.039 –> 01:11:32.560
spot. Fandom intensity. So franchises with passionate
01:11:32.560 –> 01:11:36.659
fan communities, Star Wars, certain animes, stuff
01:11:36.659 –> 01:11:38.680
like that, tend to punch above their general
01:11:38.680 –> 01:11:41.659
audience percentages. And genre and demographic
01:11:41.659 –> 01:11:44.359
spread. So to appeal broadly, the voting will
01:11:44.359 –> 01:11:47.119
likely naturally distribute across adults, families,
01:11:47.220 –> 01:11:51.359
kids, men, women, etc. So how it has a… spread
01:11:51.359 –> 01:11:54.199
across demographics or genre can play a part
01:11:54.199 –> 01:11:57.199
as well or like active online fan bases so i
01:11:57.199 –> 01:11:58.840
asked it a couple other questions i asked it
01:11:58.840 –> 01:12:01.060
to kind of summarize the different decades so
01:12:01.060 –> 01:12:05.939
for the 50s and 60s it says mostly the shows
01:12:05.939 –> 01:12:07.619
that would make it from this time period would
01:12:07.619 –> 01:12:10.279
have to be foundational series that were historically
01:12:10.279 –> 01:12:13.500
significant but that they were less likely to
01:12:13.500 –> 01:12:16.560
place high due to general generational distance
01:12:16.560 –> 01:12:21.819
all right And it said that the voter influence
01:12:21.819 –> 01:12:24.600
would be low unless older demographics are overrepresented.
01:12:24.720 –> 01:12:27.119
So unless we have a lot of old folks, these shows
01:12:27.119 –> 01:12:30.039
may not be represented as much. And it actually
01:12:30.039 –> 01:12:32.460
lists six shows that I’m not going to reveal
01:12:32.460 –> 01:12:35.960
quite yet. And then for the 1970s, it says fewer
01:12:35.960 –> 01:12:38.600
high -ranking contenders. Many shows from this
01:12:38.600 –> 01:12:40.720
era are remembered fondly but are unlikely to
01:12:40.720 –> 01:12:43.060
crack the top 50, kind of like what we talked
01:12:43.060 –> 01:12:45.439
about with the 70s being kind of that interesting
01:12:45.439 –> 01:12:47.909
generation. Kind of a transition generation,
01:12:48.109 –> 01:12:50.050
and I list five potential shows from there as
01:12:50.050 –> 01:12:55.409
well. And then I asked it to summarize how many
01:12:55.409 –> 01:12:58.010
shows would make the top 100 from every decade.
01:12:58.810 –> 01:13:02.850
I know our group, we lumped a few together, but
01:13:02.850 –> 01:13:06.250
decade by decade, what it thinks is going to
01:13:06.250 –> 01:13:08.390
make it. So it says from the 1950s that we’re
01:13:08.390 –> 01:13:10.989
going to have one or two entries, historical
01:13:10.989 –> 01:13:15.039
impact only. From the 1960s, it says two to four
01:13:15.039 –> 01:13:18.819
shows, iconic but low recency. And it actually
01:13:18.819 –> 01:13:22.899
says from the 1970s, three to five based purely
01:13:22.899 –> 01:13:27.359
on nostalgia. So that is its guesses from that.
01:13:27.880 –> 01:13:32.159
Then I asked one more question. I asked out of
01:13:32.159 –> 01:13:35.279
the 50 shows that we just revealed, which we’re
01:13:35.279 –> 01:13:39.840
going to make our top 100. So it broke it down
01:13:39.840 –> 01:13:42.840
and told me that there’s about 14, I think, at
01:13:42.840 –> 01:13:47.060
list that said have no chance. And there’s looks
01:13:47.060 –> 01:13:51.159
like another 14 that says possibly or occasionally
01:13:51.159 –> 01:13:53.720
featured on people’s lists. And then there’s
01:13:53.720 –> 01:13:59.319
15 that it says are most likely to appear on
01:13:59.319 –> 01:14:02.399
a top 100 list. Before we get to what it thinks,
01:14:02.600 –> 01:14:05.479
I thought it would be fun also to look at our
01:14:05.479 –> 01:14:08.939
previous lists and stuff like that. From this
01:14:08.939 –> 01:14:13.680
group of 50, which breaks it down by decade,
01:14:13.699 –> 01:14:15.800
we had eight in this group that were from the
01:14:15.800 –> 01:14:19.500
1950s or before. We had 20 from the 1960s. We
01:14:19.500 –> 01:14:22.500
had 22 from the 1970s, which is interesting since
01:14:22.500 –> 01:14:24.739
we said that’s kind of a weird generation, but
01:14:24.739 –> 01:14:28.960
it actually had the most in this 50. On our last
01:14:28.960 –> 01:14:34.039
countdown, we had 16 of these shows appear on
01:14:34.039 –> 01:14:37.409
our list. And ChatGPT says we’re going to have
01:14:37.409 –> 01:14:41.050
15 this time. So it may be on to something. We’ll
01:14:41.050 –> 01:14:44.689
see. If we went through the other eight rankings
01:14:44.689 –> 01:14:47.029
that we looked at online, this set would have
01:14:47.029 –> 01:14:53.829
comprised 21 shows, 20, 20, 28, 9, 6, and 5.
01:14:54.409 –> 01:14:59.909
So we go as far up as 28 and as far down as 5
01:14:59.909 –> 01:15:03.869
of these shows appearing. So Mike. What do you
01:15:03.869 –> 01:15:06.270
think is your best guess for how many shows from
01:15:06.270 –> 01:15:09.109
this group of 50 that will make our top 100?
01:15:09.289 –> 01:15:12.069
Just kind of a random guess. 16 made it last
01:15:12.069 –> 01:15:15.670
time. You say 13 this time? Yep. Steve, do you
01:15:15.670 –> 01:15:17.210
think it’s right that we’ll have less that appear
01:15:17.210 –> 01:15:20.090
this time as we did, you know, if we had 16 last
01:15:20.090 –> 01:15:22.250
time that it should go down, stay the same, or
01:15:22.250 –> 01:15:24.970
go up? I think it’s going to go down. Interesting.
01:15:25.250 –> 01:15:28.229
So here’s the shows that ChatGPT says have no
01:15:28.229 –> 01:15:32.109
chance. They said Casper, Laugh Olympics, Mr.
01:15:32.170 –> 01:15:34.470
Magoo, Josie and the Pussycats, The Funky Phantom,
01:15:34.850 –> 01:15:38.090
Jabberjaw, The Robotic Stooges, Magilla Gorilla,
01:15:38.270 –> 01:15:41.310
Speed Buggy, Banana Splits, Animant, Secret Squirrel
01:15:41.310 –> 01:15:43.430
Show, The New Adventures of Flash Gordon, Paddington,
01:15:43.510 –> 01:15:49.689
and C -Lab 2020. Mike, agree or disagree? I agree
01:15:49.689 –> 01:15:52.029
with some of it, but I disagree with some of
01:15:52.029 –> 01:15:55.569
it because Secret Squirrel belongs on it. Do
01:15:55.569 –> 01:15:56.909
you think that list is right, that none of those
01:15:56.909 –> 01:16:00.590
have a chance? I think it’s pretty close. All
01:16:00.590 –> 01:16:03.409
right. I think it’s interesting for sure. These
01:16:03.409 –> 01:16:05.729
are the ones that they say are probably going
01:16:05.729 –> 01:16:08.270
to appear at least occasionally through the list
01:16:08.270 –> 01:16:11.029
that we get turned in, but they’re not sure if
01:16:11.029 –> 01:16:14.069
it’s going to have enough to make the list. This
01:16:14.069 –> 01:16:17.289
would be Crusader Rabbit, the 1967 Fantastic
01:16:17.289 –> 01:16:21.010
Four show, Captain Caveman, Underdog, Wacky Races,
01:16:21.109 –> 01:16:22.810
George of the Jungle, Top Cap, Battle of the
01:16:22.810 –> 01:16:25.329
Planets, Quick Draw McGraw, Mighty Mouse, Huckleberry
01:16:25.329 –> 01:16:28.420
Hound, Pink Panther. Yogi Bear, and Super Friends.
01:16:29.460 –> 01:16:32.180
So they’re on the fence on those sets. Steve,
01:16:32.199 –> 01:16:33.720
what do you think? I could see some of those
01:16:33.720 –> 01:16:36.260
actually landing on some lists. I don’t know
01:16:36.260 –> 01:16:38.340
if they’ll hit the top 100, but I think they’ll
01:16:38.340 –> 01:16:40.279
definitely hit some of the contributor lists.
01:16:41.180 –> 01:16:44.859
Right. Mike, any opinions on those? Yeah, I could
01:16:44.859 –> 01:16:49.039
see that happening. Alright. Here is the 15 that
01:16:49.039 –> 01:16:52.939
it says are most likely to appear based on…
01:16:53.399 –> 01:16:56.520
influential aspects, culturally significant,
01:16:56.899 –> 01:17:00.380
critically acclaimed, or historic aspects of
01:17:00.380 –> 01:17:02.920
it. So these are the 15 it thinks will make the
01:17:02.920 –> 01:17:07.420
list. It says Felix the Cat, Speed Racer, the
01:17:07.420 –> 01:17:11.479
1967 Spider -Man, Johnny Quest, the Jetsons,
01:17:11.479 –> 01:17:15.579
Popeye, Fat Albert, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Mobile
01:17:15.579 –> 01:17:19.279
Suit Gundam, Astro Boy, Schoolhouse Rock, Tom
01:17:19.279 –> 01:17:21.960
and Jerry, Scooby -Doo, the Flintstones, and
01:17:21.960 –> 01:17:25.819
the Looney Tunes. Steve, what do you think? I
01:17:25.819 –> 01:17:28.720
think about 85 -90 % of those are going to definitely
01:17:28.720 –> 01:17:32.420
show up on this list. It’s interesting, too.
01:17:32.619 –> 01:17:36.359
It gives even a little snippet of each one, which
01:17:36.359 –> 01:17:38.699
is kind of interesting. For Mobile Suit Gundam,
01:17:38.720 –> 01:17:40.760
it says The Birth of the Real Robot Genre in
01:17:40.760 –> 01:17:44.520
Anime, Cornerstone of Mecha Anime. For Tom and
01:17:44.520 –> 01:17:46.159
Jerry, it says One of the Most Awarded Seven
01:17:46.159 –> 01:17:48.840
Academy Awards, Timeless. For Looney Tunes, it
01:17:48.840 –> 01:17:51.500
says Possibly Top Ten, Iconic and Foundational
01:17:51.500 –> 01:17:54.199
for American Animation. Flintstones, it says,
01:17:54.239 –> 01:17:56.119
first primetime animated sitcom, huge cultural
01:17:56.119 –> 01:18:00.220
milestone. So it’s interesting what their opinion
01:18:00.220 –> 01:18:04.640
of the set of 50 was, and we’ll have to see how
01:18:04.640 –> 01:18:06.979
accurate that is. Steve, when you’re looking
01:18:06.979 –> 01:18:11.500
at the overall group from the pre -1980s, what
01:18:11.500 –> 01:18:15.760
is your takeaways, or what do you think? I’m
01:18:15.760 –> 01:18:19.899
definitely seeing that… It’s going to be difficult
01:18:19.899 –> 01:18:25.300
for us old timers. It’s not going to be so difficult
01:18:25.300 –> 01:18:29.539
for the younger generation. It’s definitely something
01:18:29.539 –> 01:18:31.579
we’re more familiar with, something we grew up
01:18:31.579 –> 01:18:34.500
with, something our parents grew up with. So,
01:18:34.520 –> 01:18:36.600
I mean, there’s a lot of history in a lot of
01:18:36.600 –> 01:18:41.779
these. And not that they’re not relevant or not
01:18:41.779 –> 01:18:45.520
good, they’re just quite possibly just forgotten
01:18:45.520 –> 01:18:49.850
or overshadowed by newer… uh, inundated content,
01:18:50.090 –> 01:18:53.970
because the, as we know, the content mill doesn’t
01:18:53.970 –> 01:18:57.170
slow down and we get constant revivals of old
01:18:57.170 –> 01:19:00.970
shows, uh, or reimaginings of them. And so there,
01:19:01.050 –> 01:19:02.590
there definitely is going to be a lot of hair
01:19:02.590 –> 01:19:06.869
splitting. The closer we get to modern day of
01:19:06.869 –> 01:19:12.689
like 2025, where we have, you know, three or
01:19:12.689 –> 01:19:16.710
four versions of Ninja Turtles. 12 Transformers
01:19:16.710 –> 01:19:20.130
shows. There’s going to be a lot of hair splitting
01:19:20.130 –> 01:19:22.289
there, and I feel like it’s going to get very
01:19:22.289 –> 01:19:26.310
fragmented very quick, which could possibly push
01:19:26.310 –> 01:19:29.149
out a lot of these. I think one thing that I’m
01:19:29.149 –> 01:19:30.529
going to be very interested in, I’m going to
01:19:30.529 –> 01:19:33.130
try to track it a little bit, is I feel like
01:19:33.130 –> 01:19:36.789
there’s definitely in this time period maybe
01:19:36.789 –> 01:19:40.949
a half a dozen, let’s say six to ten shows that
01:19:40.949 –> 01:19:44.600
have really stayed in the cultural bubble and
01:19:44.600 –> 01:19:48.380
have been rebooted redone reimagined etc etc
01:19:48.380 –> 01:19:51.020
had movies had new cartoon series etc and then
01:19:51.020 –> 01:19:52.819
there’s some that haven’t and i’m interested
01:19:52.819 –> 01:19:54.899
to see how that breaks down so what i’m talking
01:19:54.899 –> 01:19:58.079
about here is will the likes of something like
01:19:58.079 –> 01:20:03.819
huckleberry hound pink panther the jetsons hopi
01:20:03.819 –> 01:20:08.560
or even maybe like a rocking bullwinkle be forgotten
01:20:08.560 –> 01:20:12.260
about because of a lack of reboots not that they
01:20:12.260 –> 01:20:14.319
haven’t had some But we’re not talking about
01:20:14.319 –> 01:20:15.899
the number that we have seen with the Looney
01:20:15.899 –> 01:20:19.199
Tunes, the Flintstones, Scooby -Doo. Even Tom
01:20:19.199 –> 01:20:21.760
and Jerry have had quite a few of those. So I’d
01:20:21.760 –> 01:20:24.180
be interested to see how that plays apart. Because
01:20:24.180 –> 01:20:25.859
a lot of these shows came out in the same time
01:20:25.859 –> 01:20:29.500
period, were as popular or as influential as
01:20:29.500 –> 01:20:32.779
each other. But some have just stayed in the
01:20:32.779 –> 01:20:34.739
zeitgeist, so to speak, and some have not. And
01:20:34.739 –> 01:20:36.460
I’d be interested to see if that plays true.
01:20:36.640 –> 01:20:38.859
Whereas if the ones that haven’t are the ones
01:20:38.859 –> 01:20:41.100
that drop or disappear from the countdown. Mike,
01:20:41.159 –> 01:20:44.100
what do you think? Yeah, I agree. It’s going
01:20:44.100 –> 01:20:47.000
to be interesting. So that is our first set of
01:20:47.000 –> 01:20:49.500
50. We’re going to do this four more times. So
01:20:49.500 –> 01:20:51.779
we’re going to do it with the 80s, the 90s, the
01:20:51.779 –> 01:20:55.760
2000s, and then the all -encompassing 2010s to
01:20:55.760 –> 01:20:58.260
present, only because we haven’t had a full decade
01:20:58.260 –> 01:21:00.260
for the 2020s. So we’re lumping a few of those
01:21:00.260 –> 01:21:02.960
in with the 2010s. So that’s how that’s going
01:21:02.960 –> 01:21:04.619
to go. Mike, do we need to tell them about anything
01:21:04.619 –> 01:21:07.329
else? I don’t think so. It’ll be interesting
01:21:07.329 –> 01:21:10.170
as people watch this, listen to this, and start
01:21:10.170 –> 01:21:12.770
to formulate their voting lists in the top 100
01:21:12.770 –> 01:21:15.569
that they’re going to turn in. How many from
01:21:15.569 –> 01:21:17.930
this time period will they include? Yeah, because
01:21:17.930 –> 01:21:19.829
like you said, it’s going to be interesting to
01:21:19.829 –> 01:21:23.710
see how many actual of the younger generation
01:21:23.710 –> 01:21:28.649
now are we going to get lists from versus…
01:21:28.649 –> 01:21:31.010
Oh, it did say one other thing. It says minimum
01:21:31.010 –> 01:21:34.399
from our list should be 12. It says maximum would
01:21:34.399 –> 01:21:37.579
be 20 out of this group of 50. It says minimum
01:21:37.579 –> 01:21:40.579
of 12 of these should make our list. Like we
01:21:40.579 –> 01:21:42.300
said, we had 16 last time. It’s saying minimum
01:21:42.300 –> 01:21:44.659
12. It says the maximum amount of these 50 that
01:21:44.659 –> 01:21:48.319
will make our top 100 is 20. Oh, okay. I still
01:21:48.319 –> 01:21:52.840
say 12 and 20. You’re in the range. I know I’m
01:21:52.840 –> 01:21:57.109
in the range, but I still say 13. Lucky 13. Because
01:21:57.109 –> 01:21:59.470
it’s the 13 ghosts of Scooby -Doo. I knew you
01:21:59.470 –> 01:22:02.170
were going there. I knew. That’s right. That’s
01:22:02.170 –> 01:22:03.630
right. That, folks, is when you know it’s time
01:22:03.630 –> 01:22:13.050
to wrap up the show. That’s right. The 13 Ghosts
01:22:13.050 –> 01:22:16.449
of Scooby -Doo. All right, Toonsters. As always,
