You are a few years older than I am (67), I don't remember The Cisco Kid, but I did like The Jetsons, and The Flintstones when they came around...and Looney Tunes,, and later on Johnny Quest (I had a crush on him and Speed Racer), and later on Scooby Do

Yes. I am soon to be 75. Children’s (black-and-white) television was so different then: no cartoons except WWII vintage Popeye and Looney Tunes; Saturday mornings were all half-hour Westerns (“Cisco Kid” and “Kit Carson” and Roy Rogers), Andy’s Gang (hosted by Andy Devine). The later cartoons - Flintstones, Jetsons - I was “too adult” for … besides, comic books came back in fashion; soul food for a teenage boy.

The old cartoon were better--more frame per second.

And backgrounds that moved instead of remaining static. For the very best in cartoons, check out (or recheck) Betty Boop—extraordinary!
