Wacky Races (1968–1969)
8/10
Still Waiting For My Car!
13 January 2007
"Wacky Races" was an integral part of my Saturday mornings. It was awesome!!! Then, POOF it was gone, and I never got to see a whif of it for years and years. Later, someone told me it was buried due to complaints about racial stereotypes amongst all those goofy characters. Who was offended by what I have no idea. Once, I remember seeing a commercial for Quisp cereal where you could send in a boxtop and a little money and get a NICE Wacky Races car! I believe I ordered Dick Dastardly's car. Mom can back me up on this, we ordered the car...sent in the boxtop with the right amount of money, and IT NEVER CAME! I'm still mad. Imagine the price I could get for it today! (If I didn't manage to break it, like all my other toys!) I'll have to check the cartoon channels and see if it's on again, so I can retreat to my cozy childhood, cuz this adult crap is making me old!
