Try the original Johnny Quest... bad guys actually got shot, blown up, crashed in biplanes on rough Andes mountains, wiped out in avalanches, and had speedboats dropped on them! Now THAT was a cool cartoon!

Or The Herculoids, The Arabian Knights, Space Ghost, the Fantastic Four, and the Filmation Superman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern and Teen Titans cartoons of the 60s.

(Notice I did not mention the Filmation Batman cartoons.)

Wait... did someone mention Tom and Jerry? Or watching the original Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoons every Saturday morning (before they started cutting the cartoon violence out of them)?
There was also the Ray Rainer show (here in the midwest) that usually featured an episode of the old Flash Gordon serial each day. I'd try to catch it each day before having to go to school. And shows like Emergency, Adam-12, and Dragnet were on daily showing realistic situations without going overboard on violence.
