Also I do not care if the cartoon is for kids or adults. You can recommend me a show from Disney Junior or adult swim swim and I will check it out.
The other day, I was rewatching old episodes of Frankenstein Jr. & The Impossibles. Though this came out right around the time when Hanna-Barbera was deep into doing action-adventure cartoons (which I have a special love for that era), these two cartoons were of a much lighter tone than the more straight adventure vibe of shows like Jonny Quest & Space Ghost, animated in the style of their funny cartoon shows like Atom Ant & Secret Squirrel.
Frankenstein Jr. was about this rich boy scientist Buzz Conroy who fought crime with the help of his powerful hero robot Frankenstein Jr.
It’s funny that this was one of the shows that was targeted by parent watchdog groups in the late 60s regarding “violence in children’s cartoons” when it’s literally one of the tamest action shows at the time (come to think of it, all the Hanna-Barbera action shows were mild on the spectrum as far as “violence” was concerned). But parent groups will complain about anything, as we all know today… 🙄
So, for those of you who have watched this show, what did you think and where do you rank it among Hanna-Barbera’s great action-adventure shows?
I wanna say villains who are basically "Kill all humans" could count as I loki kinda agree with them. Humans suck, A LOT, and to find a truly good person is a bit hard.
I never noticed this as a kid, episode "Vacuum friend"
I'm talking about G-Rated animated movies that were targeted for kids, but completely turned into either a blood bath or an emotional rollercoaster on purpose. Please name your lists!
Monster Buster Club is a terribly made show already, but what makes it even more frustrating is the misleading title. You'd think every episode they fight monsters that roam the Earth. You'd think they'd take on giant behemoths, unholy demons, and devilish fiends. No, what they actually do is fight aliens every episode and send them to galactic authorities. If all you do is fight aliens, then why not call yourselves the Alien Buster Club?! The words "monster" and "aliens" are not synonymous! That's like calling Ghostbusters the Fiendfinders!
Side note: Cathy has the same, exact voice of Pinkie Pie as they're both played by the same actress. It's impossible to view Cathy as an original character when her personality and voice are exactly like a far superior character (I don't care that this show predates FiM -.-)
It’s nowhere near as bizarre as “All Hail King Julian” on Netflix. But I remember watching it on Nickelodeon as a kid and it still had its own very out of pocket moments lol

Does anyone have any recommendations for some series that are in the same style as Looney Tunes show or Talking tom and friends?
It's still something it drives me nuts today.
Those dumb/naive characters seem to have some kind of protection when their actions harm others. And this is often theirs (unintentional) victims who are punished for defending themselves.
In Tiny Toons Adventures, this little brat of Elmira (I hated her so much), violently abusing all animals she saw like Fifi, Dizzy or especially Furrball, (ho gosh.....I still feel sorry for this poor kitten...) but not exept one episode, she hasn't been sanctionned once...
In Dexter Laboratory : I know Dexter isn't an angel but I barely remember Deedee getting punished for the mess she has done to him.
In Spongebob Squarepants: How many times Squidward gets tormented by his idiotic neighborhood...
In Gravity Falls, I like Mabel, but Dipper had right to be angry with her and I don't think i've seen her apologising to him once.
Yes, the slapsticks can be funny, but for an unfair end? Do I miss something to get the punchline?
