Yearning for simpler times? Pour yourself a big bowl of sugary cereal (preferably while you're still wearing your pajamas), then plop yourself in front of the TV and let yourself be transported to a time when Saturday morning meant cartoon time. The smooth-talking Top Cat opens this 33-cartoon, 1960's compilation with the classic episode in which Top Cat becomes the beneficiary of a one million dollar donation, but unknowingly tears up the check. Fred Flintstone goes through the roof when Wilma takes a job outside the home in The Flintstones: The Happy Household--who remembers that that Wilma actually sang in that episode? The Porky Pig Show showcases episodes "Often an Orphan" with Charlie the dog, "Mice Follies," and private eye Daffy Duck in "Super Snooper." The clueless hero Quick Draw McGraw, his alter-ego El Kabong, and his Mexican burro sidekick Baba Looey save the West from an assortment of villains despite a multitude of gunshots to the face and there are also episodes featuring their friends Snooper and Blabber, and Augie Doggie. The futuristic Jetsons acquire a new robot maid named Rosey, Marine Boy saves the world, The Impossibles foil the evil Spinner, and McGilla Gorilla gets adopted and learns a thing or two about playing football. Also included are classic episodes of Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, Winsome Witch, Precious Pup, The Peter Potamus Show, Hillbilly Bears, and Squiddly Diddly. While these cartoons are great fun for the adult set, it's interesting that what was considered kids' entertainment in the 1960's is now deemed unsuitable for children due to things like excessive cartoon violence, dishonesty, animal cruelty, and sexist and chauvinistic behavior. Bonus features include previews of each disc (little more than plot summaries), additional Quick Draw McGraw and Augie Doggie episodes, and three interesting featurettes with animators and producers about how Hanna-Barbera pioneered made-for-television cartoons as a response to the decline of theatrical cartoons; the rise of superheroes, action, and fantasy in cartoons sparked in part by the art of Alex Toth in The Herculoids; and the influence of pop culture on cartoons as exemplified by The Impossibles. --Tami Horiuchi

Your enjoyment will be dependent on how many of the cartoons we among your favourites.
I liked the ones such as Looney Tunes, Quick Draw (a long remembered fave) Magilla, Secret Squirrel. Marine Boy and Herculoids not so much. All in all not bad, the contents of Vol 2 seem better with Bugs Bunny and Road Runner shows.

The entire quote is:"Saturday Morning Cartoons-The 1960s is intended for the Adult Collector and is Not Suitable for Children"(sic).You will find this "disclaimer" on the back of the outside cover and the DVD case.We sure have come a long way haven't we when cartoons such as Quick Draw McGraw,Top Cat and Magilla Gorilla are now considered "unsuitable for children".I don't know whether to shake my head or to be insulted;I do know it leaves a bad taste in my mouth,but let's on with the review shall ...

I was excited to see Quickdraw on the cover but there is no Quickdraw on the DVDs!?
Talk about misrepresentation!
The Jetson's story is great, finding out about Rosie. Atom Ant is great, as usual but the two space ghosts? Ouch!
Would be nice if someone put together a REAL collection of the favorites of the 60s and not just tease us about it.

I'm a big animation fan - especially of vintage TV animation - so seeing Warners releasing these packages looked to be a real treat, since it seemed unlikely that we'd get full sets of most of these characters. I applaud the fact that they're making these available at all. My problem is with the amount of effort put into finding decent masters or cleaning up what they have. We've seen what they can do with 50+ year old Looney Tune shorts. I'm at a loss why they can't take more time to clean up some ... Read More

Like most kids, I loved cartoons when I was growing up. This is why I picked up this set. There are some very good cartoons here, but there are also some very forgettable ones too. I'll just randomly mention what I liked and didn't like. I realize some of the characters or cartoons that I liked were part of shows that I said I didn't like. I think this is a mixed bag of features. The package seems to lack a cohesive idea or structure. Some cartoons are very infantile, while others are more enjoyable to ... Read More
