I'd take that cartoon (or any of the Filmation cartoons) over Smurfs, the Littles and the Snorks, which is what cartoons became in the '80s after parents complained about violence and accusing the cartoons of being 30-minute commercials for toys.
Fast-forward to today where TV-14 and TV-MA shows are commonplace and infomercials rule tv after 11PM. I guess the superhero cartoons of the '60s-'80s are to blame for those.
