As a kid in the 80s, I would catch this cartoon show on TV after grade school. It was one of Hanna-Barbera's best-loved classics - a show about little blue creatures, each one named based on their individual unique personality, that live in mushroom houses in a forest. They lead seemingly peaceful lives but they occasionally have to avoid Gargomel and his cat, villains out to get them.There are plenty of exciting adventures, whimsical and magical moments and good vs. evil elements - entertaining for kids and has that innocence touch to it - overall, a better cartoons than the ones dished out for kids nowadays.Grade A-

I love The Smurfs. It's the best of all the HB cartoon shows excluding Tom & Jerry that I've ever watched and still is. I used to watch it back in the 80's when it was first brought out. I also collected some of the action figures back then. I got the entire DVD edition from Australia so that I can watch it again and again. I just love it. My most favourite smurf is Clumsy. I also like Smurfette and Wild as well as the little smurflings a lot. I like the episode of Smurfette Unmade where she changed back into her original evil non-smurf one-of-a-kind-thing self of no species, sent out to capture and kill her friends for Gargamel. The Smurfs show is the best! I have already started to collect a few of the original French written Smurf and Johan and Peewit (Les Schtroumpfs et Johan et Pirlouit) comic books from out of France. Even though the show's production was canceled long ago, the books still go on.

When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are hilarious are like the Looney Tunes characters that we all love. in My opinion these characters are the funnies and talented ever seen. In fact, The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch this show!

This is one of the more famous cartoons of the '80s. Like He-Man, Thundercats, G.I. Joe and Transformers, this cartoon was pure '80s. The difference here is that Smurfs was a Saturday morning toon, opposed to being an after school weekday toon like the others. And it was probably the best made Saturday morning toon of the '80s. Waking up at 6 in the morning to see these toons was a treat that kids in the '80s will always remember.Wow I feel old because I actually remember watching the very FIRST episode of Smurfs as it originally aired in 1981. I must have been about 5 or 6 years old. It's a vague memory, but it's there. My older sister who was 11 at the time watched it with me with just as much passion and awe. I'm really surprised to find out that this series ran through the entire '80s and even into 1990. That's really something. No wonder this show has so many fans that are a lot younger then me. I always wondered why this series has so many fans so much younger then me, and finding out that "The Smurfs" ran into 1990 explains that part. I guess I thought this show must have been cancelled around 1986 or 1987, because I remember I stopped watching this show at that time when I was around 11 years old. It's a great toon and it's too bad they don't release these on VHS or DVD.
