10 Classic Cartoons That Deserve A Reboot

6. Roger Ramjet

For the uninitiated, Roger Ramjet is a sort of cartoon version of Joseph Heller's Catch-22, but for kids. He's a patriotic, incredibly stupid, pill-popping America fighter pilot with a team of identically dressed children as his sidekicks. One of his enemies is called Gangster Noodles Romanoff and, wow, how did this make it onto TV in the 60s? You'd barely need to change a thing to make a Roger Ramjet for the modern age. His brand of fist-thumping nationalism has already been popularly parodied on shows like American Dad and add a beat to that theme song and you've got yourself a hit. They might need to lose the pill popping though - people are a lot less chill about drugged-up pilots these days.
