I've been feeling awfully nostalgic lately, yesterday it was breakfast cereals from back in the day and today it's cartoons. Here are a few cartoons, mostly from the 1970's, that were based on popular television shows.

'The New Adventures Of Gilligan' A few years after Gilligan's Island ended, the show was reborn as an animated series. With the exception of Tina Louise and Dawn Wells, the whole cast reprised their roles. Jane Webb provided the voice for both female leads.

'The Brady Kids' All six children from The Brady Bunch lent their voices to the 1972 animated series. As implied in the title, the parents and Alice weren't involved. But some talking animals were, including Marlon the bird, Mop Top the dog, and twin pandas Ping and Pong.

'The Addams Family' Hanna-Barbera adapted the 1960s television series in 1973. The actors who played Uncle Fester and Lurch both returned to voice their characters from the live-action show.

'The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang' Henry Winkler, Ron Howard and Don Most all lent their voices to the time-traveling animated version of Happy Days, which Hanna-Barbera produced in 1980. Their main goal was to some day make it back to Milwaukee.

'Laverne & Shirley in the Army' Laverne and Shirley leave Milwaukee to join the army, take orders from a talking pig, and fly in outer space — among other thing). One thing did make the show realistic. Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams both lent their voices.
