	Movies - The Rudy and Gogo World Famous Cartoon Show

The Rudy and Gogo World Famous Cartoon Show was a programming block of animated cartoons for Turner Network Television (TNT) during the 1990s. Hosted by Rowdy Rudy (a puppet of a young boy, who looked a little like Howdy Doody), and his pet goat Gogo (actually derived from black and white footage of Violet the Goat from the MGM-era Our Gang
comedies), the show featured a variety of cartoon short subjects from Turner Entertainment's library, including Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes
and Merrie Melodies
, MGM cartoons such as Tom and Jerry
and Droopy, and Fleischer/Famous' Popeye the Sailor. Between each cartoon, Rudy would ususally tell jokes or make other such comments about the next cartoon in the lineup.

Later episdoes of the show featured a third character, "Jumpin' J.B.", an African-American puppet-boy who joined Rudy and Gogo in hosting the cartoons.

During the 1996 US presidential election, TNT aired special commercials that featured Gogo running for the presidency as an independent candidate. Her theme song was the Spanish language tune "Gogo Para Presidente".

Rudy and Gogo ended its broadcast run in 1997, and TNT stopped showing cartoons the following year.
