Top 10 Cartoons of the 1970s

Top 10 Best Cartoons of the Seventies

Superheroes, robots and ghosts – the '70s were a weird time. Growing up there were two types of Saturday Morning cartoons.. The first type you didn’t really care about - if you had to run to the kitchen for more fruity pebbles or take a quick detour to the bathroom it’s an acceptable loss. Then there’s the second type, which you wouldn’t miss a second of even if the sky was falling. Maybe it was Johnny Quest… or maybe it was The Smurfs. Some cartoons are so special that you can’t tear your eyes away from them. Every decade had them, but the 1970s had some of the best of them all. I’m Nostalgic Nick for Doyouremember, and today we’re going back to the 70s to take a look at some of the best cartoons of all time. Be sure to mash that thumbs up button and subscribe to our channel, but for now, on to the toons!

To be a kid in the 70's and a teenager in the 80's - It's GREAT to be a Gen-Xer!

Born in '66, loved Road Runner, Bugs Bunny, Johnny Quest, and School house Rock !!! Wait, the list goes on, Speed Racer, The Jetsons, and The Flinstones !!!

As a 70's kid, for a few hours on Saturday The TV was all ours.

These were definitely the best times of cartoons in the 70's. Will never forget. I lived to see every Saturday morning sitting in front of the tv with my favorite bowl of cereal. You couldn't pull me away.

Kids of today are missing some great cartoons!! Even from the late 60’s

I'm a child of the 70's and had the best cartoons EVER.
I watched pretty much all of the ones you listed and a few
you didn't, but the point is that the 70's will always be remembered
having the best cartoons that us 70's kids got to watch as kids.

All of those plus Speed Buggy, , Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones, Popeye, Thundarr the Barbarian, Laff A Lympics, and Blue Falcon and Dynomutt

As a 1970s kid I remember the 3 main networks ABC ..NBC and CBS in a Saturday morning Battle to see who had the best cartoons we only had 1 tv at home so it was hard to makeup our minds..The 70s what a great time to be alive.

The good old day's born in 1970. Im so glad l was born then. 70s and 80s were awesome.

[aprilsunshine]

So I love my child hood era of cartoons and sweet cereals: from 70's and 80's!!!

[dlee]

I watched all these shows as a kid. Good times.

I also loved the Bugs Bunny/ Road Runner Hour.

Although it wasn’t a cartoon, I also loved the Banana Splits.

I would always wake up a couple hours early. At 5am, you could catch re-runs of older toons - Mr Magoo, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Thunderbirds Are Go, and Stingray.

The 70s shows I watched - Grape Ape, Hong Kong Phooie, Jabber-Jaw, Speed Buggy, etc. Pretty much anything by Hanna-Barbera. I'm fairly certain I watched Return To The Planet Of Apes, Godzilla Power Hour, Super Friends, etc.

[bmiller]

I watched Star Trek the Animated Series. I missed the bulk of Star Trek on NBC but then caught it in syndication.

[SG-jwmo]

You mentioned my top three 70s cartoons, so I'm happy. Scooby Doo, where are you!, Josie and the Pussycats and Superfriends.

[malena]

Cartoons from the 70s were great and very funny. I adore that era.

I remember watching Scooby-Doo in Sydney Australia in the early seventies in the afternoons, after school.
