Damn, you got the theme song in my head now...so I return your theme song sticking moment with this show Banana Splits and here's the Theme song:

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Coming on to bring you the Banana Splits Show

I'm still a huge fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle to this day

The Electric Company. You know, I still to this day get that song stuck in my head. "We're gonna turn you on. We're gonna bring you the power." |twinkle

And we can't forget Ruth Buzzi's "Hey YOU GUYYYYYS!"

Well - lets see - we didnt have a TV - most people didnt - so Saturday mornings we would go to the local movie theater where we would have a matinee that usually included about an hour of cartoons, some magic tricks on stage from the local talent, some games and then a full length movie of something like Roy Rogers - all this and we got in for six bottle caps from pepsi bottles or on some weekends we actually had to trade in 6 pepsi bottle empties.
I dont think I saw a color TV until I was around 12 years old - and some kid in the neighborhood had the beatles cartoon show on

Okay, yep, ya got me. The old Cartoon Corners General Store!

Of course then there was Sally Star, and that hot chick Pixanne who had her own show (I was actually on that one when I was really young...and yes, she was hotter in person).

Now as far as 'cartoon characters' I'm not sure the earliest I remember, but the biggest impression was made by Woody Woodpecker cartoons at the movie theaters when I was a kid.

Most others, like Felix the Cat, had to deal with people being after them, or things that happened to them that they had to overcome. But not Woody. He'd wake up and be thinking "hmm... now who am I going to go out there and screw with today?"

I really liked the pro-active approach he took to life. Might have helped shaped some of my early views on things. ::grin::
