Saturday Mornings Cartoons

[Hawkgirl_70]

I saw this thread right after finishing watching "The Ring of Castellac" from the Smurfs, featuring Johan and Peewit. I have several Smurfs compilations and try to watch an episode every Saturday morning.

I wish somebody would make compilations that re-enact entire Saturday morning lineups from the 70's and 80's, complete with the original commercials and PSA's.

Now that would be cool! Except my husband aren't ever available for watching on Saturday mornings.
It's too bad you can buy a Saturday morning chunk of programming, say 4 hrs, with all those commercials and the shows.
Too much legal crap and permissions to get thru probably.

That's why we have a HUGE DVD library of our shows. We still watch them once a week, and even have break them down by seasons. But we watch together when we both aren't working.
Thank goodness I married a guy that LOVES cartoons, comics, and sports!!!

On Amazon, I've got the complete series of the Mighty Mightor, the original 1960s run of Space Ghost and, on DVDs, Shazzan and the Herculoids.

I also remember the first cartoon runs of the FF and of Spider-Man.

There was also Frankenstein, Jr. and the Impossibles. Also, the Mighty Heroes.

Lots more than that, really. But those are some of them.

Although not actually cartoons, I'm re-watching the Shazam/ Isis live action episodes from the 1970s right now.

Before my time but I wish they would drop the Hanna Barbera F.F on dvd.

I still have many childhood cartoons on DVD such as G.I.Joe, Transformers, He-Man, Thundercats, Silverhawks, Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors, C.O.P.S., M.A.S.K., Bravestarr, Saber Rider & The Star Sheriff's, Inhumanoids, Adventures Of The Galaxy Rangers, Centurions. Robotech, X-Men TAS.

(phew) that's a lot!

I always loved these particular kids of adds, the ones that showed all the characters together. Even as a blatant advertisement there's just something fun about the ideas.

Like how some TV stations would have little teaser commercials that had characters from different shows interact for thirty seconds or so.

The official Ghostbusters YouTube channel releases a new Real Ghostbusters episode every Saturday morning.

The Garfield channel did the same thing for the 80s show a year ago.

Sony is talking about making a "Saturday Morning Cartoon" block with some of their old IPs via YouTube.

I did that a while back. Though I didn't necessarily stick with cartoons associated with my childhood (then again, I watched a lot of reruns back when I was kid, so . . . ). In the process I ended up building quite the library of cartoons on physical media. Warner Archive was especially a big help.
