I remember waiting with baited breath for the Bugs Bunny Show. Before that it was the Beany and Cecil show, with Cecil the seasick sea serpent. I'm coming, Beanie! Johnny Quest? My favorite was the one with the giant robot spider. 2nd place goes to the one with the guy in the gargoyle suit.

"I'm not sure what my favorite one was. Maybe the one where they get stranded in the Andes and Reese has to dogfight the old German ww1 ace. "
This was my favorite episode!
High Noon?
You mention Slam Bang Theatre? Were you raised in Ft. Worth??? I remember when Ickey Twerp was the host! Early-mid 60’s. With his two apes, Ajax and Delphinium!

Yeah, there were a lot of people that didn't like ajax and his brethren because they said that it was a form of "minstrels " and was making fun of colored people. The trouble makers also managed to get rid of heckle and jeckle and speedy Gonzales and the Frito bandito Mr Camfield also hosted a horror movie show sometime way back then, but I can't remember all the details of that. I remember when he had cancer and passed. Pretty sad

There were 3 apes

All that back way before JR and Dallas and
the Great Migration.
Back when DFW was still a great place to live

I always thought Race Bannon would have got
lucky with Ann Margret or Raquel Welch.
The butt slammers always tried to make out
that they were all gay. The boohoo crowd
tried to make out that Hadji was a slave or
a stereotype or both but most of us kids
didn't have any such notions and just enjoyed
the show.
Sim sim sala bim !

Left Ft. Worth in Oct 69. Loved the rodeo and "Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show!"
Saw both Ken Curtis and Fess Parker there!!!

My favorite was the Sargasso Sea episode with the lizard men. Here's a video of wall art stencil based on the lizard men: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnG3-LfyMBI

Jonny appears (sort of) as "action Johnny" on The Venture Brothers. I highly recommend giving that show a look.
