According to the June 24-30 TV Guide a fact file reads (quoted):

Viewers throughout Europe were asked to choose their favorite TV
cartoon characters:
Spain ... The Jetsons
Norway ... Yogi Bear
Sweden ... Johnny Quest
Finland ... Richie Rich <yuck!!!>
Holland ... Captain Planet <well, what do you expect from Holland?
<g>>
U.K., Romania ... The Flintstones
France, Poland ... Bugs & Daffy

<me again:>
And the $64,000 question is: who was the source of this
information?

Give yourself a pat on the back if you answered: Cartoon Network
Europe

What I want to know is if these people were given a list to choose
from or allowed to pick from their own free will..
