Traditional cartoons that seem to have vanished from tv

[redfruitgum]

I just had a random flashback to Popeye. No idea why. But it made me think of some of the traditional cartoons you never see anymore. Tom and Jerry, Roadrunner, Popeye. I guess there is a obscure channel somewhere on sky that shows them but they've disappeared completely off mainstream tv. They seemed to be around for years. I mean I remember my mum saying how she watched those cartoons when she was young so they lasted a good few generations, then bam they have almost totally disappeared from our screens.

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop!

In Italy on chldrens tv we had The Adventures of Signor Bonaventura, which was a cartoon character invented in, I think, 1917(?)...anyway his adventures were sung in rhyme and they were great! I was a mum then, and watched it as much for me as for ds

I used to love the jetsons - thinking about the theme as an adult is a bit the last person mentioned is Jane and she’s introduced as “his wife”
