Q: Do you remember cartoons like Beany and Cecil? - from @

I do remember The New Adventures of Beany and Cecil from the late 80's, when I was in high school. But that memory was very vague and I had to look it up to refresh it. During which I found out there was a previous cartoon back in 1960 or so, which was in turn based on a live-action puppet show from the 50's. I don't remember those things though, as they predate even me.

The 80's version wasn't very popular as I remember, and didn't really get a lot of play. I remember it being put in the same time-block as Inspector Gadget and Heathcliff, and basically getting shuffled around as Inspector Gadget took off in popularity. Beany and Cecil were too old-fashioned at that point, even with the revisions.
