Favorite Saturday Morning Cartoon

[NuWaveRx]

This is obviously influenced by the Monster Movie thread. I checked the archives and didn't see a recent post on this. I was fortunate (?) to grow up in a kind of "golden age" of Saturday Morning cartoons (e.g mid 70s to early 80s). I'm not sure kids do this anymore, but every saturday morning my brother and I would be up at the butt-crack of dawn to watch Bugs Bunny/Road Runner and then pretty much sat in front of the tube until about 11:00 or so (that's where the former post kicks in). So I'll ask the Outpost membership: what shows kept you glued to the tube on Saturday morning. Cheese is Ok in this thread--as I said before in the previous post, what the hell did I know about Cheesy when I was 10 years old?

I'll start:
Superfriends (all of them--even the stinkers with Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog)
Shazam!
Isis
Star Trek Animated (still good even today)
Lidsville (did Charles Nelson Reilly do anything but this and Match Game?)
New Adverntures of Batman
Tarzan and the Super Seven
Spiderman and his Amazing Friends (with the awful, "Spiderfriends (!) Go For IT!)
Battle of the Planets
Blackstar (kinda like He-Man only....Black)
Thundarr the Barbarian
U.S. of Archie (President Jughead? Strangely prophetic?)

Well I could go on and on (as you can tell)
I'll be putting on my abestos underpants for possible flaming (and for their snug fit...[:p])

> Superfriends (all of them--even the stinkers with Wendy, Marvin, and Wonderdog)

I thought those episodes were the 2nd-best incarnation of the Superfriends. (The ones vs. the Legion of Doom were the best). I absolutely hated Zan and Jana.

My other favorites included Bugs Bunny, Groovy Ghoulies, Josie and the Pussycats, the Jetsons, and Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. I hated anything by Sid and Marty Kroft (HR Puffinstuff, Sigmund and the Seas Monsters, etc.)

My favorites:


The Flintstones
The Jetsons
The Pink Panther
Plasticman
Sigmund & The Sea Monsters
The Herculoids
Jonny Quest

Now I get to watch these with my kids. I haven't seen Plasticman for 20 years. Anyone remember him?

I was a big Saturday morning cartoon watcher as a kid. My favorites were the Loony Tunes show (Bugs Bunny et al.) and Scooby Doo. Anyone remember the "New Scooby Doo Movies" where they'd have some "celebrity" guests like Sonny & Cher or Mama Cass?

For some reason I had a fierce loyalty to CBS's morning lineup and wouldn't watch anything else. The Loony Tunes show started at 6:30 or some ridiculous hour. My dad used to set his alarm Saturday mornings and get me up so I could see my show. As a parent, I can't imagine why he'd do that.
