The Popeye I liked was the one from the 60's since that was the version I grew up with it had Popeye, Olive, Brutus, Jeep, sweet pea, and the goons.

That version marked the first screen appearance of the Sea Hag. She was voiced by
the versatile Mae Questel (who was also Olive Oyl and Swee' Pea).

That's interesting that the big man was named "Brutus" at that time. Many of us have gotten used to him being called Bluto.

...over the right to use "Bluto"'s name (and image) in the TV cartoons, so he became "Brutus" instead. The 1960-'61 King Features TV cartoon series was produced by six different animation studios, because of the sheer volume of the amount of episodes King Features was expecting [over 200]: Paramount Cartoon Studios in New York [the original theatrical animation unit, under Seymour Kneitel, going all the way back to when it was Fleischer Studios]; Jack Kinney, in Hollywood; Larry Harmon [he also produced the "BOZO" TV cartoons at the same time] in Hollywood; Halas & Bachelor in England; Gene Deitch in Czechoslovakia (through his American rep, William Snyder, of "Rembrandt Films"); and Creston Studios [aka TV Spots] in Hollywood {they were also providing the animation for Total Television's "KING LEONARDO AND HIS SHORT SUBJECTS" at the time}. The voice tracks were recorded in New York, with Jack Mercer, Mae Questel and Jackson Beck picking up where they'd left off from their final Paramount theatrical shorts in 1957; stories and other soundtrack elements were divided between New York and Hollywood.

The only color Popeye cartoons that I've ever watched were the King Features episodes from the 1960s. I watched 'em on TV throughout my childhood, with total fascination and enjoyment. Very cool stuff!
I don't think I've ever seen any of the other color Popeye 'toons.
