Wacky Races was not a Saturday morning highlight. This was the era when Hanna-Barbera began to lose its golden touch. Both the writing and animation are much more crude than their golden age efforts like "The Flintstones," "The Jetsons," "Top Cat," and "Jonny Quest." But those earlier efforts were targeted to family viewers in the evening hours as opposed to the Saturday morning wasteland.

Things weren't so bleak. Quality declined but there were still a lot of fun cartoons that were great childhood memories.

wacky!

Not wacky races, the show comes on Boomerang or Cartoon Network like 10 times a day. At least the price is right and the features look promising.
