The Mike & Carla Morning Show

Which Cartoon Character Would You Put In The White House

Author Mike O'Brian
The one cartoon character you would vote into the White House.

It’s a silly question and we get that, but if you could, which cartoon character would you vote to put in the White House? Now The Mike & Carla Morning Show put it out there for listeners to text or call in with their suggestions.

Needless to say, there was NOT a shortage of candidates from the world of animation! At first it seemed to make sense to just pencil in Rocky and Bullwinkle”! However, it was crazy how some listeners really put some thought into this.”

What Cartoon Character Would You Put In The White House

Now, Ranker.com put it out there and formed a list of nominees with Batman topping the list. Keep in mind that it’s the cartoon character, not any of the actors that played the part of Batman.

Rounding out the Top 5, it was Velma, from “Scoobie Doo”, Spiderman, Superman, and Lisa Simpson! Actually, a lot of people thought Lisa Simpson was a good choice for President or Vice President!

With that in mind, think about it…what cartoon character would you vote into office? Carla Rea already knew that it would be Spiderman for Mike O’Brian. Carla showed favor for “Moose and Squirrel”, but was easily swayed as more and more listeners checked in.

“Wonder Woman” also came up…with all her powers and the WHIP! Hulk Hogan’s name was brought up as well as “Long Horn Leg Horn”! Of course when that came up, both Mike & Carla felt we’ve had a few of those already in the HOUSE!

A couple of characters from “Archie” and “Josie & The Pussycats.” Then one guy called in and got Carla on board with “Peabody & Sherman!”

But it was the nomination of “Speed Racer” that brought it all to an end. He’s younger, smarter, and helps others. Case close…move aside “Batman”!

10 Great Existing Songs Used As TV Themes

Some of the best TV themes are songs that existed before a show premiered. The best TV themes are the ones that set the tone for a show. They paint that picture of the world in which a show takes place and help transport you there alongside the characters.

In the history of television, there have truly been countless memorable theme songs that are just as important as the shows themselves. Here’s a look at ten great existing songs used as TV themes.

  • "Superhero" - 'Entourage'

    Few shows captured the energy of the aughts quite like HBO’s Entourage. Even fewer shows can say that Jane’s Addiction — one of the coolest, most influential bands of all time — helped set the tone for their show with a song like “Superhero.”

  • "Forever Young" - 'Parenthood'

    Before This is Us and the Pearsons, there was Parenthood and the Bravermans, an equally emotional rollercoaster of a family. Dylan’s “Forever Young” often brought some much-needed levity to the show.

  • "A Little Help From My Friends" - 'The Wonder Years'

    Between the iconic Joe Cocker cover and the home video imagery, this might be one of the best opening title sequences in TV history. It’s hard not to feel the tug on the heartstrings with this one.

  • "My Life" - 'Bosom Buddies'

    Who could forget about Bosom Buddies?! Not only was it Tom Hanks’ first big acting gig, but it also featured Billy Joel’s “My Life” as the theme. Like Hanks, The Piano Man was just dying for his big break in 1980. (Kidding, of course!)

  • "Bad Reputation" - 'Freaks & Geeks'

    A cult classic that was criminally canceled after one season, Joan Jett & the Blackheart’s “Bad Reputation” helped set the tone for this coming-of-age series. Just looking at the opening credits and seeing this young cast of future stars is really incredible.

  • "Love and Marriage" - 'Married...with Children'

    This is probably the best example of a TV theme song/TV series juxtaposition. For that, we say, “Whoa, Bundy!”

  • "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" - 'Chuck'

    A spy romp that also highlights a classic tune from Cake? Oh yeah, this had “cult classic” written all over it from day one.

  • "Boss of Me" - 'Malcolm in the Middle'

    A sort of Married…with Children for the new millennium, Malcolm in the Middle has quite the earworm of a theme song with this tune from They Might Be Giants. Plus, any excuse to shout out the show that really gave the world the first major look at Bryan Cranston is a great excuse.

  • "C'mon C'mon" - 'Rescue Me'

    A tense show needs a tense theme song. Rescue Me was about New York City firefighters in the aftermath of 9/11. While the show had plenty of humorous moments, the underlying PTSD theme is perfectly soundtracked by this song from The Von Bondies.

  • "Woke Up This Morning" - 'The Sopranos'

    It’s only fitting that one of the greatest, most-beloved TV shows of all time has an utter banger of a theme song. Alabama 3 may still be a cult band, but we sincerely hope they’re still collecting solid residuals off of this song for its use as the theme for The Sopranos.
