I hated magilla gorilla, and that hippo, and grapeape, breezely-sneezely or whatever. Bad low budget hanna barbera. Not a huge fan of wacky races either.
Pepe le pew I never liked much either, the harassment still makes me uncomfortable. Why is that funny?
That lidsville - creepy to the max.
After school we were lucky to get our gang and stooges reruns at least. And Gilligan's Island, so we didn't have to watch those hb cartoons as much.
Really don't like a lot of the cartoons nowadays at all though....

I "hate" it in an entertaining way..I watched it for the laughs...but I really did not care for it and Gilligan's Island I wanted to nuke....LOL. Remember back when, we only had a handful of stations to choose from....almost too many today filled with "airheaded reality shows"...IMHO.

Actually I'm not sure I watched those much as I remember really disliking them from the start. However at times when I was a kid I would watch cartoons I didn't like because...well I'm not entirely sure why. It just seemed like the thing to do. I mean when you're real little you can't read yet and home video-games weren't an option when you were poor. (Plus then all people had was Atari) Although I think there were some cartoons I watched because a brother or sister did.

Oh...like Zoobilee Zoo and Romper Room?

I HATED Scooby-Doo but I never watched it. Still hate it.

I forgot about those...I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head.....we watched them anyway....or played outside....usually during reruns...LOL. .

Dear God....I absolutely HATED The Smurfs as they were Smurftastically awful!

My Sister loved them, though. Being there was only one TV in the house, if I wanted to watch Scooby-Doo, we all had to suffer through The Smurfs!

You never saw someone cheer for Gargamel & Azreal so hard as I did!

I liked the Smurfs into my teen years. It's a fascinating exploration of a stateless agrarian society that dovetailed into what interest I have in anthropology. Although its mostly male and highly idealized vision makes it perhaps more like monasticism than the Dogon or West African village cultures. I learned a good deal from it.
