Your Favorite Saturday Morning Cartoon, Or Saturday Morning Show, From Back In The Day ??

Scooby Doo.

That show was cool too.

I was a child in the 1970s, so Saturday morning cartoons were plentiful.

Here's what I watched:

Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show
Scooby Doo
Bailey's Comets
Tom & Jerry
Clue Club
Butch Cassidy
Speed Buggy
Wheelie & The Chopper Bunch
The Kroft Supershow (live action)

And of course I loved the Schoolhouse Rock shorts.

Rocky and Bullwinkle*
Underdog*
Tennessee Tuxedo*
All Looney Tunes
*All had supporting segments shorts embedded into the shows that I liked.

original "Land of the Lost" 

It was pretty trippy sci-fi for a kid's show. 

I recently posted this on another board about this topic.




Ok. this gets a little confusing because many cartoons started out on Saturday mornings then later were syndicated in reruns on weekdays. there were also some that originally aired in primetime but then were rerun on Saturday mornings for years like Johnny Quest and the Jetsons. And then some of them also went into syndication. But to the best of my ability here is a list of some the shows that were officially Saturday Morning Cartoons (big 3 networks) at some point or another. Some ran in reruns on Saturdays morning for decades even though they only had about 20 episodes.

I'll start with super heroes
Aquaman
The Batman Superman Hour
Spider Woman
Spider-Man in various configurations starting with the excellent 1967 series
The Fantastic Four also various configurations over decades
Superfriends
Plastic Man
Space Ghost
The Herculoids
Frankenstein Jr.
Gigantor
Jana of the Jungle
Captain Caveman
Underdog
The Incredible Hulk again in various forms that started with the excellent 1967 series, The Marvel Superheroes that included Thor, Ironman, Captain America and Namor as well as Hulk
Birdman
The Lone Ranger, Zorro, Tarzan all shared a show
Thundar the Barbarian
Flash Gordon (excellent show)
Johnny Quest (ok its scifi not superhero but one of the best shows ever)
Hong Kong Phooey

Non super hero shows

Smurfs
Josie and the Pussycats
Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space
Scooby-Doo in various configurations starting in 1969
The Pink Panther show had many iterations also
Goober and the Ghost Chasers
The New Schmoo
The Funky Phantom
Wheely and the Chopper Bunch
Speed Buggy
Charlie Chan and the Chan Clan
Garfield
Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids
Speed Racer
The Archies had several cartoon versions
The Hardy Boys
The Globtrotters had at least 2 different cartoon series
Dastardly and Mutley in their Flying Machines
The Wacky Races
The Perils of Penelope Pitstop
Scooby's Laff Olympics
Yogi Bear
Yogi's Space Race
Magilla Gorilla
Pebbles and Bam-Bam
The original The Flintstones aired in prime time but in the 80's Fred and Barney starred in a Saturday Morning version
The Jetsons
Bugs Bunny and Road Runner show (and several other iterations of the Looney Tunes)
Jabber Jaw

Another interesting phenomenon was whenever a live action property became popular they turned it into a Satuday morning cartoons so there was

Happy Days
Lavergne and Shirley
Mork and Mindy
Star Trek
Mr. T
The Brady Bunch
The Partridge Family
The Jackson 5
The Osmond Brothers
Planet of the Apes
Emergency+4
Beetlejuice
Doctor Doolittle
Hulk Hogan's Rockin Wrestling
The Addams Family
And my personal favorite "I Am the Greatest: The Adventures of Muhammad Ali"

There are of couse many others but these are some of the ones I remember the most.

Live action Saturday morning kid's shows are a whole other topic and I could get into those too including the excellent "Land of the Lost" and the vastly inferior remake.

But I think this is enough for now. I hope I reminded some of you of things you had forgotten.
