Review of The All-New Popeye Hour

Im a big Popeye fan in fact hes my favorite cartoon character so you can imagine my joy as a kid in finding out that there was a new Popeye cartoon coming to TV in 1978!I remember watching the intro and seeing Bluto harassing Popeye and throwing him into a rocket which flies in the sky and blows up and Popeye grabs his spinach and says his famous line , thats all I can stand that I cant stand no more! And I knew that after he ate that spinach Bluto was going to get a good butt kicking but instead he grabs a steam shovel and scoops up Bluto and dumps him into a garbage truck and my worst fears as a kid was realized they took the violence out of the Popeye cartoons! Popeye and Bluto could no longer punch,kick,shoot, each other or choke and beat up Olive they had to use alternative less violent ways for Popeye to take care of Bluto which made for very dull entertainment! The only thing I liked about the show was that the characters still had their wit so the show wasn't a total loss!
