of their afternoon syndicated cartoon block. They showed family friendly cartoons (as well as Bible education series such as SuperBook and Flying House) and have religious commercials to fill them time in. I guess it was a way to get the Word out to kids in a way that even today I find non-objectionable.

Thing is, one of the cartoons that they showed was DuckTales. I fell in love with the series and the Duck Universe right then, as I missed all of its first run syndication. So I'd have to say that my favorite cartoon character is Scrooge McDuck.

And the video game was awesome...
