Show Notes
Saturday morning cartoons were a staple back in the 60s thru the 90s. Remember Cecil and Beany? Scooby Doo? Spiderman? What were your favorites?
Generally, the Saturday morning lineup was animated, and many were genre (science fiction, fantasy or horror). The Jetsons. Jonny Quest. Many remember fondly Spiderman and Rocket Robinhood, despite the poor-quality graphics, the backgrounds that were used and reused and reused.
Star Trek had an animated series, that "bridged" (pardon the pun) the gap between the classic series from the 60s and the first motion picture in 1979.
What were your favorites?
The Flintstones? Top Cat? Masters of the Universe? Jem and the Holograms? Thundercats?
Do you remember...
Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle? Return to the Planet of the Apes? Speed Buggy? Jabberjaw?
And do you remember some of the live action series...
Shazam! (with animated sequences)? The Secret of Isis? Jason of Star Command?
Join Troy Harkin and David Clink as they recall the many shows that comprised the Saturday mornings of our childhood. Maybe some of your faves will be mentioned!
