Many of us used to watch famous cartoons like Scooby Doo on Saturday mornings when we were kids, but what are some of the lesser known ones you remember? I'm talking about ones that lasted only one season or maybe two seasons at the most.
As a kid from the 1970s, here are some that I remember:
Kid Power
These Are The Days
Bailey's Comets
The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan
Goober And The Ghost Chasers (an obvious Scooby Doo rip off)
Clue Club
Speed Buggy
Wheelie And The Chopper Bunch

I remember Speed Buggy
I think Mark Hamill did a voice on that show.
What about
Jabber Jaw?

The Barkleys (a sort of quasi-All In The Family ripoff)
Emergency+4 (animated version of the popular Jack Webb drama, with extra added kids and animals)
M*U*S*H* (from the undeservedly forgotten Uncle Croc's Block; a fairly weird spoofing of TV's MASH)

Looks like a sort of cartoon version of All In The Family. I know Uncle Croc's Block with Charles Nelson Reilly, but the only cartoon I remember from that was Wacky & Packy. Emergency +4: Now this one I do remember. Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe, from the live action series, provided their voices to this as well. |

Emergency +4: Now this one I do remember. Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe, from the live action series, provided their voices to this as well. Uncle Croc was so unpopular with the network that it got yanked pretty quickly, one of the few times a Filmation show tanked; the series has never been shown on TV in its entirety, and only some of the cartoon segments ever got aired. I vaguely recall Wacky and Packy, but MUSH was only run a few times before Croc and Co. got disappeared. It was years before I could even find a mention of it, and for a while I was actually wondering if I'd imagined it, lol. Tighe and Mantooth's not-bad vocal work was one of the few redeeming features of E+4; the animation was primitive, and the kid/animal business was annoying, though understandable for a show aimed at the small fry. I recall they did give some safety advice at the end of each episode, some of which was actually pretty useful. Barkleys was definitely an aping of AITF, though obviously toned down on the social satire that utilized observations about bigotry, etc. |
