Old Saturday Morning Cartoons You've Definitely Forgotten About

Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels

The people of the universe are back to prehistoric times. Captain Caveman is the unlikely hero of this animated series. He, joined by the teen angels, is a prehistoric caveman brought back to life in the modern-day. He's not just another pretty face though, he also fights crime and injustices around the land. His weapon of choice is a large club and a classic battle cry (which is just his own name). It debuted in 1977.

Dudley Do-Right

Dudley Do-Right is here to save the day. Created by Alex Anderson, Chris Hayward and Allan Burns, Dudley isn't your everyday superhero. Stemming from a segment on The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, this Mounties man was actually a spoof. The series parodied early classic 20th-century melodrama tendencies and the notion of silent film, using only a piano as background noise. It debuted in 1961.
