I am pushing 80yrs. and have been trying to find this cartoon forever. I used to watch Saturday morning cartoons with my sons in the 70's, and to this day, this one brings a smile to my face and a fond remembrance of this little goat, eating everything in sight, and the farmer's frustration with him. Now, all I want is a dvd of the little rascal and his shenanigans, and I will be happy.

My sister and I watched this cartoon on Saturday mornings when were in our early teens (in the 70's). We would mimic everything about this cartoon especially the way the farmer walked. I have to admit my sister could do it pretty well. Still today I find myself mimicking the farmer, either verbally or just in my mind, every time I tell someone "You just gotta have patience, man, man, man-man." Love it!!! and it still makes me smile.

Even though I only remember seeing this cartoon on two separate occasions (I have been waiting patiently for the past 10 years to see it again)it is still my all time favorite. The wolf's passive hatred toward Billy Boy-Boy!! is hilarious!!!!!! I really hope I get to see it again before I die!!

I remember seeing this 3 years ago. Quite possibly one of the funniest cartoons ever. If anyone knows how to obtain a copy of this show, let me know.

One of the best cartoons ever! The little billy goat eating all objects in his path. My favorite part is when the billy goat is eating up the interior of the wolf's house and he's chewing up the wallpaper. As the wallpaper keeps ripping it tears off the clothes of a Calender girl on the wall leaving hear in her underwear. The Calender girl is quick to cover up. Hey, it was the closest thing to TV sex that I ever saw up to that time in my life. HaHa...

What got me about this cartonn was the great voicing and the use of echo on the voice of the farmer. "Whatcha doin' there Billy-Billy-Billy-Billy". Killer stuff.

I recently saw "Billy Boy" on The Cartoon Network, this past Sunday night, (12/15) aroubnd 8:45 pm. What an awesome cartoon. I thoroughly enjoy=ed it from beginning to end...Little Billy Boy chowing EVERYTHING in his path. I remembered this from many years ago, as I predicted that he would eat the house and the moon. They don't make cartoonslike that any more, and its a shame...Lucklily there is Cartoon Network to resurrect them and show them once a gain. Any time I can see a Tex Avery or Heck Allen cartoon, I will drop whatever I am doing. I wish I could get a complet catalog of ALL of their cartoons. From one BILLYto another...way to go Billy BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
