This is and will always be one of my favorites. I used to wake my lil sister up and we would clumsily poor ourselves whatever breakfast cereal mom would be able to get us that week and me and Angie would sit down to catch The Smurfs on our Saturday mornings...the smurfs was aired so damn early back then but as kids waiting all week for what used to be Saturday morning cartoons we didn't care...and the smurfs was one we had no problem waking up for!! As i now watch it as a grown man finding it in my store on DVD i am so surprised that outta all these reviews (which i'm surprised not more of with all us 80's kids out here) how the hell has none commented on the immense amount of adult innuendos involved within this series? Really guys? I am a frequent visitor of IMDb and i see people commenting on same type of things with other shows/film that I literally have to go back and look to find what it is the reviewers are talking about...The Smurfs however is a series that doesn't even try to hide it lol...albeit it is an absolutely amazing series back when morals mattered...and they were trying to teach us kids something good..I only now watching the series after all these years recognise the adult content slipped in...lol...that was probably only thrown in there from the creators as a nod to the hardcore parents that actually got up back then with there kids....course then again if that was the case why the hell were Saturday Morning Cartoons created in the 1st place? hahahaha!!!...Definitely check it out...I know its released on DVD...at least volume 1 and 2 of the first season....." ohhh I hate doing reviews" lol...(lil shout out to Cranky Smurf there)..:) Love ya sis..hope ya read this and remember those Saturday mornings...which I pretty sure u will...:)

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.

I used to watch "Smurfs" every day as a kid, and at 18 I remember the show with such fondness. It is a real shame I haven't seen Smurfs on TV for such a long time, it was a cartoon classic. It had great animation with nice, clean colouring and well drawn characters, a catchy theme tune and clever background music, fun, gripping story lines that often taught something, strong writing and most of all unique and endearing characters. Who can forget Papa Smurf, Handy, Clumsy, Smurfette, Greedy, Smurfy, Vanity and Baby? And of course villainous Gargamel and his somewhat cute feline sidekick Azrael? These are great characters and are well voiced by the likes of June Foray, Don Messick, Frank Welker, Alan Oppenheimer, Alan Young and Lucille Bliss. Overall, a cartoon that I will always revere as a classic. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I used to watch the Smurfs back when I was at least 5. And the appeal of the show hasn't dimmed. BTW: I'm 18 now.Recently I read (or should I say "smurfed"?) one of the original Belgian comics, "L'Oeuf et les Schtroumpfs" ("The Smurfs and the Egg", where a giant egg begins to grant wishes), which also featured "Le Centième Schtroumpf" ("The 100th Smurf", where Vanity's mirror creates a new Smurf) and "Le Faux Sctroumpf" ("The False Smurf", where Gargamel disguises himself as a Smurf). And I enjoyed them all, despite the fact that they were in French (a language I studied in school)And the cartoon is still a "smurfy" cartoon. Worthy of a smurf next time it comes on.
