Most people probably never heard and/or not familiar of  the name  Jay Ward, but many would recognize his creations like "Rocky & Bullwinkle". :)

Info about Jay Ward. I recently bought some DVDs, which I find quite entertaining and better than Hanna Barbara cartoons of the same era in terms of writing, IMHO.

Nevermind the bad movies based on the cartoons  and recent "George of the Jungle" cartoon (though still never seen the original).

this is so weird. i was just pm - ing about a Tex Avery cartoon ...an old one with a similar look...
I enjoyed thos jay Ward cartoons and loved Rocky and Bullwinkle.  I really liked all of the cartoons of the era; my early child hood in 67-71.

I so very well remember Jay Ward.

I grew up in the early '70s laughing from these '60s cartoons. Maybe I'm a little stuck up, but I feel these were some of the best cartoons directed to those with a more intellectual mindset than the regular Hanna-Barbara limited animation slapstick.

There was some great concepts in these cartoons that were probably missed by and lost upon the general public.

Rocky & Bullwinlke and some of the other character spin offs of the show can still be watched and still generate laughs today. 8)

Smart and silly cartoons for the thinking TV public, Family Guy of its day? :-X

Great topic!  :)

Instead of voting for my favorites (because I can't decide  ???)  I voted for ones I thought nobody else would.  Specifically, I picked Hoppity Hooper and Super Chicken.  I remember each of those fondly (in different time periods), and they seem to be forgotten cartoons.

Of course, I like all the others.  Although I'm having a hard time remembering "Crusader Rabbit"  :-\\

Question: was it one of these shows that had "Commander McBragg"?

I saw "Hoppity Hooper" on a retro Thanksgiving marathon last year, which is the first time I watched it. Also have it on a cheap dollar DVD. Here's a review.



Though "Commander McBragg" was produced by Total TV (Under Dog), it did aired along with Hoppity Hooper cartoons in the mid 1960's. Don't know why, but guessing Jay Ward productions shared rights to some of the cartoons from Total TV.

Most of the Jay Ward cartoons are available on DVD.



"Crusader Rabbit" is the first television cartoon, though dates back to the later 1940's to mid 1950's.

If I could have picked 4 .Super Chicken would have been there!
A hero that drank martinis......(super sause)
