which sitcoms, dramedies or shows which consist of real actors would've made for a good cartoon or animated series

ilovethe80s · 01-17-2008, 02:34 PM

maybe Full House would of and Joey could do the cartoon voices because he did on the show.

Any of those Fantasy Shows of the 60s, like Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, My Favorite Martian, The Munsters, The Addams Family...some of those did have cartoon counterparts I think.

ABC's ugly betty

Married with Children definitely could've worked as a Simpsons/Family Guy-like cartoon. heck in it's later years it basically WAS a live-action cartoon.

I agree 100%, it was basically a live action Simpsons or Family Guy

All of those sitcom characters appeared in animation at least once. Darrin and
Samantha (Dick York, Elizabeth Montgomery) guest-starred on an episode of The Flintstones; Hanna-Barbera produced an animated version of Jeannie as a series (with former Stooge Joe Besser as genie Babu)and also
two different animated versions of The Addams Family (one featuring
the voices of Ted Cassidy and Jackie Coogan, the later one with John Astin's
voice); Filmation produced an animated version of My Favorite Martian (with Jonathan Harris replacing Ray Walston as the Martian); and an
animated version of The Munsters aired as one of the unsold pilots on
ABC's Saturday Superstar Movie (with Richard Long as Herman and Al
Lewis reprising his role as Grampa).

Hanna-Barbera did produce Saturday morning cartoon versions of Happy
Days (titled Fonz & the Happy Days Gang, it featured the voices of
Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, Donny Most, Frank Welker and Didi Conn of
Benson) and Mork & Mindy, featuring the voices of Robin Williams,
Pam Dawber and (occasionally) Conrad Janis.

Family matters it did become more of a cartoon show later on steve n carl can do the voices have inventions and adventures

treky · 01-19-2008, 10:57 PM

they also had an animated version of "THE BRADY BUNCH" called "THE BRADY KIDS" that was about the kids (obviousley; from the title

), and one of "STAR TREK" (before it leapt to the big screen) and I remember on an ABC series in the 70s called the "ABC SUPERSTAR MOVIE" they had an aminated version of "THAT GIRL" once. I think Marlo Thomas did Anns voice.

there was also an animated series in the 70s based on "ALL IN THE FAMILY" exept it had dogs as the lead characters. I forget what it was called, though. And there was one based on "THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY" called "THE PARTRIDGES IN SPACE" in the 70s, an animated version of "GILLAGENS ISLAND", one based on "THE ODD COUPLE" called "THE ODDBALL COUPLE", and one based on "MASH" that was called "MUSH".

And for that time Samantha and Darrin Stephens guested on "THE FLINTSTONES", since Hanna-Barbera created "THE FLINSTONES" and did the animation for "BEWITCHED" they simply used the animated Samantha and Darrin from that show.

You're thinking of The Barkleys, produced by DePatie-Freleng. The
main character was named "Arnie Barkley," a thinly-disguised version of
Archie Bunker. It ran on NBC for only one season, from Sept. 9, 1972 to
Sept. 1, 1973. Ironically, since we didn't get the CBS channel in our area
at the time, I saw this takeoff before I ever saw All in the Family.
