Original Title: Do you think Gilligan’s Island, The Flintstones, the old Popeye cartoons, I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, the old Woody Woodpecker cartoons, The Jetsons, Three’s Company, The Partridge Family, Top Cat and The Honeymooners will still be known 50 years from now?

or will they end up like Howdy Doody and Captain Kangaroo where because they were so long ago, many of those who grew up with them are no longer alive and as a result, people won’t really remember them anymore? As in like those who will be adults 50 years from now. Will they have cult followings or not? I know many of these shows are on streaming services like Tubi.

If I’m not mistaken, Flintstones was still widely known by kids until 2003 due to reruns on Cartoon Network. It used to rerun a lot on that channel back in the 90s and even the very early 2000s.
