Sad but true, the list does not include any female characters. The only female TV cartoon character I recall from my childhood was Little Lulu, and she was based on a comic strip. In my opinion, television cartoons were so much better in the 60s. There were no lessons of morality, no politically correct characters; they were just entertainment pure and simple.Coincidentally, most of my favorite characters are from Hanna Barbera cartoons. So, here is my list of the top 10 TV cartoon characters of the 1950s and 1960s, in no particular order. Top Cat ran from 1961 until 1962 on ABC; only 30 episodes were made.
