Top TV Cartoon characters continued 80-61

Our next installment. I know you are excited. Again, if you don't see your favorite, chillax, we still have 60 to go, and then we can vote on possibly which one I left out that should have been included and which I included that should have been omitted.
And a quick recap of the rules
First of all, the characters HAD to be from television, Also, no Disney. Adult cartoons ie the Simpsons, Family Guy, will also not be featured on the list. My final rule is that if a character is always with another and they depend on each other, they will be grouped together but counted as one
With no further gilding of the Lilly...

80 Animal This Muppet Babies regular was actually a bit of an annoyance as he ONLY stirred up trouble, but he seemed to be the youngest of them all as he crawled and never used words. In fact, most times he was carried or “left behind” on their imaginary journeys. But he was loud and played the drums, and was PRETTY COOL as a grown up Muppet, so he gets bonus points.

79 Captain Caveman- the cool thing about Captain Caveman was he was featured in several cartoons, not just the Flintstones:Next Generation. He was also featured in Scooby Doo, The Jetsons, and if I am not mistaken Heathcliffe. The guy had range and in the Laff-a-lympics, he was a loose cannon, but so is CT on the Gauntlet. Captain Caveman sometimes STEPPED IT UP! Other times he screwed it up, but still his outreach was HUGE. If the guy can go on several shows, that is STRONG!

78 Scrappy Doo Scooby’s nephew who was not as big as he thought he was. That goodness his Uncle Scooby looked out for him because he would have gotten his BUTT KICKED. Nevertheless I liked his spunk.

77 Nermal Ahhhh the sweetest Villain you will EVER meet. Nermal annoyed Garfield and even John Arbuckle to the point that Garfield would try to mail him to another continent. Ouch. This self-proclaimed “sweetest cat in the world” was quite vexing and a sharp contrast to Garfield. But we loved the hero Garfield, thus we had to hate Nermal. Not a problem, since I hate cats.

76 Patty Mayonnaise The love of Doug’s life had a VERY annoying accent, and to be honest, I know she was the “girl next door” but I thought she hung out with the fat chick only to improve her own feelings and if Doug LOOKED around, he could have found MUCH better looking girls at that school. I don’t like it when semi-hot chicks try and buck the system by hanging out with unattractive fat chicks to BOOST their stock in their potential suitors’ eyes. It is an optical illusion that needs to be pointed out. Allie did it in Newport Harbor. Kristin did it in Laguna Beach. I know it is done, but I think it is wrong. For the record!

75 Huey Dewey and Louey These three little squirts got their own show. Good for them. But don’t ask me which one was which. I could never get a system down.

74 Bobo and Cindy Bear I liked Bobo’s tie and soothing voice and I always thought Cindy Bear was hot, for a bear-you know. But I had to group them together, because I feel they were a bit of a package, and I don’t think they could stand on their own in this list.

73 Piglet Obviously people liked this character (myself NOT included) because he/she got his/her own movie. Did this piglet really wear a turtleneck sweater or am I misremembering that? (Thanks Roger for the new addition to my vocabulary lexicon)

72 porkchop I think Porkchop was the second best sidekick dog ever, behind Brain on Inspector Gadget. Snoopy and Scooby were the leads, if you ask me. Actually if you look at Porkchop and his outfits (he was never afraid to cross-dress) and mannerisms, I think he was probably BASED on Brain. His igloo dog house was nice inside, to the point that I would have rather stayed there than in Doug’s room. The one thing that always bugged me was how the size seemed off. From the outside, it looks like it might have enough room for Porkchop to enter and MAYBE turn around, but if we look at scenes from inside the igloo, there is a TV, lounge chair, kitchen, bathroom and shower. HUH?

71 Odie the braindead dog was always a target of Garfield and he reminds me of that friend that you keep around to be your punching bag, but he is YOUR punching bag and if someone else tries to mock them or mess with them, you want to fight THAT person, because he is still your friend. But once that situation is over, he goes right back to being your punching bag.

70 Daphne Here is the thing about Daphne. She was hot. OF COURSE Fred would always send Velma and Shaggy and Scooby in another direction. He was trying to GET IT ON with her. Too bad he was dressed as a freaking sailor. But Daphne, named after the character in Greek Mythology I am sure who was chased by the Sea God Poseidon (maybe THAT’S why Fred was wearing the sailor outfit. Some writer was REALLY stoned and reading Edith Hamilton’s Mythology while writing the show. INTERESTING), was straight up hot in that little purple dress, but she never seemed to help solve the cases. Just the eye candy. I would have liked to have seen Shaggy get his shot with Daphne. Just once. Never happened to my knowledge. But then we ARE talking about a cartoon here. (Actually upon further review, Daphne was chased by Apollo and she turned into a laurel tree. Would have been cooler had it been Poseidon, that would have helped my case)

70 Betty Rubble. Her dark hair and blueish-gray dress started the “girl next door” hot phrase I believe. She was the first girl next door, if you ask me. Anyways, she supported her man Barney, even when Barney was hopeless. Devotion and Loyalty. Ask Jerry McGuire and he will tell you that Loyalty is a pretty good thing to base a marriage on. It’s not sexy, according to Rod Tidwell, but then again, he was the spokesman for a waterbed warehouse, so why should I listen to him?

69 Mr, Peabody and his boy Sherman The R & B show’s sideshow had a genius dog that built a “way back” machine and HE had a BOY. That’s right. Mr. Peabody was a genius dog, capable of time travel and he had a pet boy Sherman. I think it is great that sometimes Mr. Peabody walked on his hind legs, other times all four legs. He was a conflicted genius, king of like Earnest Hemmingway. Thank goodness Mr. Peabody didn’t off himself like EH did. Most likely he just went deaf and blind and Sherman had to put him down. Then does Sherman get sent back? If he is old enough, is he allowed to be on his own? I just think it is cool that Mr. Peabody could go through history and make sure things turned out as they should have. For instance, I am sure he went back to when Al Gore invented the internet and made sure it could show porn for Gore’s boss Clinton. Yeah, Buddy!

68 Animaniacs Yackoo Wacko and Dot. These three were Warner Brothers’ attempt to get BACK into the cartoon field and I just think they fell flat. Where they outcasts that were living in the watertower? Was the living situation a punishment? Or was the WB simply ashamed of these animaniacs?

67 Pinky and the Brain Two mice trying to take over the world. Or at least one, and another just being stupid and ultimately messing up what the smart one did. I think these two were actually more popular than the actual Animaniacs, but that’s just me. I would be interested to maybe read the writings of Brain, simply because, even as a mouse, he was no doubt smarter than I am. But then again, HE was the one in the cage now wasn’t he. HAHAHAHAHA Dominance scale BABY!

66 Astro The Jetsons’ dog could nearly talk and on several occasions he saved Elroy and George from falling off the house into Orbit. I would be a little scared to live just floating in space like they did, but I digress. The only bad thing about that is, at least with MY DOGS, I like to sometimes just send them out into the backyard and not have to worry about them for 3 hours. Where the Jetsons lived, it was kind of like an apartment for Astro. I know he had that little treadmill, but that was only a straight line, and I know I have run off a treadmill before. Again, if he does that, he is floating in orbit. A little scary.

65 Dino The Flintstones dino-dog, I could never understand if he was a brontosaurus or what, but he was a happy pet. And he DID NOT like to go out, unless Fred was with him, see final credits. He jumped through the window to lock Fred out. Not nice, but what are you going to do. I think Chimer(my dog) would do the same thing to me if he could. The only thing that bothered me about Dino was when he laughed. Kind of weird looking.

64 Velma Clearly the Brains of the Mystery Machine gang, she always had the ideas, but because she was a little homely, Fred always chose to go off with Daphne and Velma was stuck with Shaggy (who never appreciated her) and Scooby (a freaking DOG). I think if Velma got one of those “What NOT to Where” Makeovers or one of those TBS “Makeover and a Movie” (Which I would enjoy more because then I could watch Maid in Manhattan while randomly looking in to see the progress) I bet she would end up kind of hot. Still a little chubby, but hey, you can work some of that off, and I imagine that some of that was just from the outfit she wore. Just saying.

63 John Arbuckle This poor guy needed to put his foot down, but he never did, in letting Garfield run the house. At some point just put the cat in the closet and eat your lunch or something. Also, I am glad that John and the Vet finally hooked up. Good for him, after all those attempts, the nerd finally got the girl. It gives hope to all those nerds out there that MAYBE one day, a guy CAN get a girl WITHOUT having to ruffie her.

62 Skeeter Valentine Doug’s best friend and a loyal trouper. How did HE feel towards Patty? We may never know because he let Doug pursue her. While I question his fashion choices (the orange sweat suit?) This guy was THERE for Doug. I think he ranks RIGHT up there with all-time second bananas.

61 Ranger Smith How could this guy CONSTANTLY be duped for pic-a-nic baskets time after time? He really makes me question the competence of Forest Rangers across the country. And PS, I bet the forest rangers NEVER get tired of the Yogi voice asking if Ranger Smith is working today they surely get from maybe 18 people per day.

There we go, our next 20. Tune in Monday for another batch. I am going to let this one stew for the weekend.....
