Old Saturday Morning Cartoons You've Definitely Forgotten About

Mr. Peabody

Mr. Peabody is not a mister at all, he's a dog! The anthropomorphic cartoon appeared in the 1950s through the 1960s. Peabody appeared in the "Peabody's Improbable History" segments on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. In 2014, he found his way to the big screen when the show was readapted for modern audiences in a movie. The series was recreated in 2015-2017. 

Wacky Races

Who knew races could be so...ridiculous. The series followed 11 different cars racing against one another in various road races across North America. With the main villain riding in the Mean Machine, the other racers tried desperately to beat out Dick Dastardly. Some of these racers included Peter Perfect, Rufus Ruffcut, Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly, and the Ant Hill Mob. It debuted in 1968.
