It's hard to believe that a half century has passed since these wonderful cartoons made a deep mark on my childhood. I still remember them as if it was yesterday.
Wow, the memories this brings back. I remember my brother and I getting up dark and early each Saturday morning at around 5 AM to catch The Cisco Kid followed by the Super 6 and the rest of the line up. Has it been that long? Dang!
I’m 59 years old now & back then... I lived for Saturday morning cartoons, hot wheels & my bicycle!!! Things sure have changed...& not necessarily for the better.
@@jameretief8327 NO, Quake! My sis had to like Quisp just to get under my skin, we were competitive in everything. I think they were the same thing, but Quake touted a He-Man and Quisp was a little twit! I loved Lucky Charms too b/c of those marshmellows, I could con my mom into buying anything (at 6 yrs old)! I actually got her to get a Veg-o-Matic - Ron Popeil, "It Slices, It Dices!"
80s baby/90s kid here, I was blessed that while growing up there were reruns of most of these shows in rotation. So I also grew up watching many of these cool cartoons. Thank to networks like cartoon Network and boomerang, my generation was fed plenty of the old school. Herculoids and Birdman were definitely a couple of my favorites. Great video!
My siblings and I grew up in the 60s and loved the Saturday morning cartoons, sitting in the living room with big bowls of cereal, then after lunch we’d go out and play. Most cartoons were by Hanna-Barbera, but we also liked cartoons from other studios-Popeye, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Casper. Great memories!
Just because kids today didn't have the same exact childhood you did doesn't mean they don't love being kids. They're growing up in a vast new world. Maybe you should too.
Lolololol adults created the internet and cable then refused to monitor their children's usage of it. Hardly the kids faults for the sheltered lives they lead, all on the parents of this era, ironically. They were the first Gen to let technology raise their kids lol
Wow, does this bring back memories! Does anyone remember that in the late 60's and early 70's ABC, knowing the kids would be home, would show 2-3 hours of cartoons from their Saturday morning lineup the Friday morning after Thanksgiving? I remember looking forward to that every year!
I remember this distinctly in 1970s. I live in Canada but mysteriously every American thanksgiving day, I would get sick and have to stay home and watch ABC's Saturday morning line up. HAHAHA! not long after that I became NFL fan and continue this ritual until my senior year of high school. Great memories!!
Thank you for being only the second person I've encountered to verify this! I was beginning to think this was one of those "I dreamed it" memories until someone answered my inquiry on another forum. I had thought all three major networks had done this, but I guess it was only ABC. I'm surprised more people don't remember this.
I couldn't never wake up in the morning on weekdays, but I was always "WIDE AWAKE" on saturday mornings, with a big bowl of Honey Comb cereal, watching the Super-Friends!!
That smile on Zok's face as he's leaning over his Herculoid family is probably the most pleasing moment of my childhood. The way his eyes change when he fires his different rays, the bobbing of his head and neck, etc was a revelation that I still can't put into adequate words. I will be thinking fondly of him in my last days when they come. God bless the Herculoids!
I commend you brother for the great video's and the memories. On Saturday mornings between 1966 and 68 you couldn't tear me from the TV. All the superhero action that you could stand was on at that time.It was a great time of my life. Thanks.
These were some of the best cartoons I watched when I was a kid. Now, I'm 49 and this brings back memories. Some of them was never shown on TV where I lived. I still liked the Space Ghost and Space Stars opening theme.
OMG! I was just turned into a 8 year old on the couch Saturday morning watching awesome cartoons for hours. Where did you ever get all this incredible stuff I haven't seen over four decades FredFlix? However you did it, thank you.

I know so did my brothers I have 6 brothers they watched these cartoons and they would go between channels mom would holler stop turning my TV before you blow out the tube or leave it on one channel they love cereal fruit loops trixs frosted flakes memories
A little before my time (I grew up with 1970's-1980's Saturday morning cartoons) but I love these in reruns as well. I especially loved Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Young Samson and Birdman & The Galaxy Trio!!
FredFlix....I wanna thank you for taking me thru my memories at 6 and 7yrs old Saturday mornings 😍 I STILL remember my cousins and I trying to spend the night with our great grandmother, she was the ONLY family member in 67" who had a COLOR TV😁🤘 Now THAT was well worth dealing with a slightly gruff Russian imigrant JUST to watch her TV in the morning.....she stayed up almost ALL night watching her shows as she called em.... Mike Douglas, Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, Georgie Jessel and Lord knows who else.... as I watched the different Channel lineups I realized I was familiar and remembered ALL of the cartoons and because of course at 58 I think like an adult I couldn't understand how I could have seen ALL of THEM 😨🤔 since it's NOT like I had a DVR lol and then BLAMO!!! It hit me, that at that AGE I wasn't allowed to change the channel 😁😂😂😂. I guess each Saturday I got a somewhat different TV line up🤘😁😍♥️😉👍🏼. Again, thanks for the memories......
highlife0586 GOD BLESS YOU AND THEY WERE GOOD. AS A KID; I LIVED FOR THE WEE WILLIE WEBBER SHOW AFTER SCHOOL AND SATURDAY MORNINGS! JOHNNY QUEST WAS MY FAVORITE AND CAPTAIN SCARLET ( SPECTRUM IS GREEN! [S.I.G. ] ). ABSOLUTELY GREAT MEMORIES!!
I was a born a few years later. I remember the Hanna Barberra hour which featured among others, the Impossibles, Space Ghost, Birdman, and the Herculoids - my absolute favorites. Followed by Captain Caveman, Thundarr the Barbarian, and the first 60’s Marvel Comics cartoons.
Space ghost, Frankenstein JR, Fantastic Four, The Herculoids, Spider-Man, Shazzam, Young Samson, King Kong, Moby Dick and Mighty Thor, Birdman & the Galaxy Trio, Superman Aquaman, Atom Ant, even Secret Squirrel, I watched them all. I did so much channel flicking trying to watch cartoons that were against each other, it must have driven my parents crazy.
Some of these cartoons made it over to europe in the mid 70's.We where able to watch them in Belgium thx to french television.They where subbed in french,but by a very talented team who did almost every cartoon up until the 80's.Very good memories for me!!!
I miss space ghost , the Herculoids & Johny Quest . They vvere on TV ( in syndication nationally) throughout the early to mid 1970's & re-appeared around 1979-1980 back by popular demand . Am glad they can be found here on youtube.....VVovv ! just savv Journey to the Center of the Earth ! Hadnt seen it in Decades & memories of eating scrambled eggs vv/ketchup for breakfast came flooding back . TYVM for sharing these clips, am gonna revvatch JttCotE next ! :)
Wow, you can really see the influence Young Samson had on He-Man. From the look of his build, his hair, and the way he transforms into the hero. The puppy turns into a Lion ( Cringer into Battle Cat)
The wrist bands that he wore turned him and his dog into Young Samson and Goliath. I thought that Marvel Comics' "Cosmic" Captain Marvel comic ripped off that concept when Rick Jones found the Nega-Bands.
Now that's Entertainment! All those cartoons and tv series themes including marvel , hanna barbra, you get junk by today's standards... thank God for 1960s cartoon and tv shows and music!!!!!!!!!
Wow. How I loved to watch these Catoons in my childhood. It was the first thing after to go home from School : Turn on TV. From Rio Brazil. Congratulations.
He did Johny Quest too . Theres a good documentary here on YT about Alex Toth if you search vv/a lot of great sketches for initial character design, Sorry I dont knovv hovv to post links , though I hope youll check it out if you havnt seen it already.
Thank you for preserving these wonderful memories. Wow, that really struck a chord and brought back some good times. I watched all these growing up in the 70s. I had a paper route then, loved going to 7-Eleven and getting comic books, eating way too much sugar and loved my Saturday morning cartoons(again, with too much sugar). *sigh* Oh, to relive a week of that again.
Fred, I must say growing up in the sixties was incredible as a kid. Also, your videos always give me goosebumps. Today's kids will never know the pure joy at the cartoons of the past. You keep posting them and I will continue watching them, great job.
@Curious George, today's kids have a mega frakton of cartoons to watch, on cable, on streaming, and on terrestrial broadcasting (PBS Kids and CBC Kids being two examples) they just don't watch it on Saturday morning.
The Herculoids, Frankenstein Jr., Space Ghost, Spiderman, Bugs Bunny, The Arabian Knights, Johnny Quest and Secret Squirrel 🐿️ and Morocco Mole were some of my favorite cartoons growing up!
even these days it still happen again.. Marvel Studios (owned by Disney) ruled the super hero movies but in TV, Warner Bros (who owned Hannah Barbera) ruled the super hero genre in animation and live action series
Wow, thanks for showing this, ohh the memories!! I seem to remember in Los Angeles, it was The Impossibles at 7:00am, The Hecurliods 7:30am then if I was lucky I was able to watch Shazam at 8:00am providing my mom didn't turn off our TV. But then Space Ghost 8:30am was on. I seem to remember watching (at my friend's house) Casper and somewhere in the lineup was Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show. And finally, I seem to remember Johnny Quest was on in those years too. (BTW I like George of the Jungle).
I'm surprised CBS didn't tape delay the cartoons for the West Coast. Usually, the networks would run a show, say, at 8 p.m. in the east and 7 p.m. central, but for the west the show would not come on until 8 p.m., the same time as the east. I guess they didn't do that with the Sat. morning cartoons.
Saturday Mornings baby! HELL YEAH!! Bowl uh cereal with milk and plop down infront of the tube and get off for 2 or 3 hours!! my personal alltime fav five were: 1) HERCULOIDS 2) SPACE GHOST 3) BIRDMAN 4) JOHNNY QUEST 5) SPIDERMAN
TY SO MUCH FOR THIS-THOUGH I WAS BORN IN 1968-ALL OF THESE CARTOONS WERE EITHER SHOWN IN SYNDICATION IN THE 70'S OR REBROADCASTED AGAIN AS WELL ON THE THREE BIG NETWORKS-I WISH TVLAND OR BOOMERANG WOULD TAKE THESE CARTOONS AND CREATE A SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON TRIBUTE ON A REGULAR BASIS.
Depending on when in 1968 you were born....a few episodes of the 1967-1968 year may have been released. Me? I was born in mid-summer 1967 JUST before these cartoons (syndicated or not) were released.
You're sooooo right Perry, I've thought the same thing about the old tv line-ups, it would be cool to see these shows in their original time slots and day of the week they came on; probably wouldn't make much money, but it would be sweet.
thanks so much for uploading ! on sat. mornings - to the great annoyance of my parents- i would get up to watch the tv test pattern ! after that, on to local cartoon programming- popeye, etc., 'til 9, and watch most of the cartoons you've included in this video- , and then shockingly- i went outside to play with my friends- for hours on end, completely unsupervised by adults ! ...it was another time, another place.
OMG,the era i grew up in (and into the 70s)! I :) remember them ALL! This was back when Saturday morning tv was worth getting up for! Thankfully a lot of these are on dvd now and TH-cam,etc. Thanks so much for posting,Great memories!
I agree with both of you; as kids, I think we needed to see various characters--whether they looked fairly realistic, or cartoony--doing amazing things. Much like our parents probably followed the adventure comic strips in the newspapers...avidly(lol). These days, I think, are a good time to bring back that spirit of adventure and excitement. It makes for a great refuge from these times, times that I find very hard to understand.
What's really sad is that most children today have their heads buried in cell phone and computer screens for all of the available information, but can't form sentences or comprehend what it takes to have a halfway decent conversation with people their own age, let alone an adult! As a child, after watching cartoons, we went outside to meet and play with other children in our neighborhoods and learn about living as children to grow into young adults! Gone are the days of catching bugs and sandboxes. Riding bikes and being home when the street lights came on! Today's society is hard on its youth!
Thanks!!! Thanks to all the superheroes and all their powers!!!! This took me back to a happier, brighter time! I'm 62 now, but watching this brought back memories of an age of my life that regenerated my very being!!!! It's great to be young again, even in my soul, my mind!
Well I can honestly say that I am 57 years old and my friends and I along with most kids had a great time watching Saturday morning cartoons they might off had some violence but it was always the hero prevailing witch taught us good guys take down bad guys what I am saying is it clearly showed what was bad and what was good and gave us values of good and evil and we didn't grow up shooting up schools or post offices or anything like that
Trenton Sizemore I agree with most of what you said, but I think that you should have put more into the writing of it. You wrote a big run-on sentence and used a lot of misspellings or incorrect words. By the way, I think that for every kid who was influenced properly by the good guys, there was a kid who identified with the bad guys and turned into a piece of shit later in life.
Oh wow, Thanks for this. I had totally forgotten about Young Samson. This is the first time I've seen it since those days. I turned 4 years old August 1967, now 55
George was enough fun to watch, just barely. I grew up in Florida and the heat outdoors was daunting. Easier to sit on a chill tile floor and watch more cartoons, any cartoons.
It's Friday night as I write this. Full episodes for a lot of these shows can be found on TH-cam. I'm tempted to create a playlist with a bunch of them and then get up early tomorrow morning, fire up the TH-cam app on my smart TV and then sit on the floor in front of the tube (we used to call it that back then) with a bowl of Cap'n Crunch cereal.
I remember thinking as a kid that Superfriends was super lame! And I could still vaguely remember at this time that the Justice League show of the 1960's was better...or at least it had a greater variety of superheroes. (I was partial to Green Lantern.)
I loved that show as a kid as well, but, like The Flintstones, it started out as an evening show that went into reruns on Saturday mornings years later. They tried to reboot the series on Cartoon Network but I didn't like it very much.
I so remember these shows! They way they got on air was that Fred Silverman, then the president of children's programming at CBS brought in a stack of comics, plopped them down on HANNA-BARBERA'S DESKS AND SAID "this IS WHAT I WANT!" I'm glad he did!
Just found this video post and want to say thank you. As a 70 year old who watched most of those shows in the 60's as a kid, your post brought back a lot of memories. Sitting around the t.v. with my parents (may they rest in peace) and brothers, and sister it was a family event for us. A bonding. Thank you.
I loved the soundtrack for birdman, and herculoids. Needless to say, I have these as my ringtones for my 2 sons. I had not remembered that space ghost did a 'tag-team' with galaxy trio I must say, Hanna-Barbera did a great job controlling the airways on Saturday mornings
I loved the jazz scores used in the Hanna-Barbera cartoons. They went along with the Thrush-James Bondish nature of the villains in Jonny Quest and The Fantastic Four.
Ok, so Doctor Doom was Soviet but his relationship with Reed Richards was the same as Batman (not counting the history change in the 1989 Batman movie) and The Joker...the villain was defaced by something nuclear.
Season 1 was great, but seasons 2 and 3 weren't that good. They changed the format to more science fiction and fantasy as opposed to season 1 where Spider-man fought his traditional villains. The animation was worse too because they cut the budget for seasons 2 and 3 too. Yet, this show had one of the best all time Superhero themes of any era. It's a shame kids today think Miles Morales is Spider-man not Peter Parker because of the animated movie "Into the Spiderverse" from a few years ago. There's even a TH-cam version of this Spider-man theme with Miles Morales as Spider-man. Truly sad. Peter [Parker will always be Spider-man to me.
I remember these cartoons in the mid 70's and enjoyed them all. Also, a lot of these cartoons were on TV until the late 70's. When I was a kid I never know they were from the late 60's. Thanks for the memories!
Thank you for uploading this video! Great memories. I'm 56 years old now but was 5-6 years old in 1967-1968 and I remember watching most of these, but on a black & white Magnavox tv! TH-cam is the first time I've seen most of these in color; my folks didn't get a color set until 1973! Hanna Barbera and Filmation were the bomb back in those days; Ted Knight was a busy man handling the narration on those Filmation shows. Although not mentioned in the video, my favorite cartoon from that time was the Lone Ranger/Tonto which, if I remember right, aired in NYC (WCBS Channel 2) on Saturday around noon or 1pm.
Saturday morning cartoons were so much fun back in the day. I was just 10 yrs old then. Being a die-hard Marvel fan, I always looked forward to seeing the Fantastic Four and Spiderman!
I remember all of those shows and also the preview shows the Friday night before the start of a new season. I grew up in the Los Angeles market, so some of the promos aren’t familiar. I also loved the Sid and Marty Kroft shows like H.R Puff-N-Stuf And the Banana Splits(including: The Three Musketeers, Arabian Knights and Danger Island). Great video!
I was 10 years old in '67, and Saturday morning was all about cartoons! Thanks for this compilation!
I was 4 years-old. What little boy sleeps in on a Saturday morning?! Not me!
I was also. Parents used to get angry with me cause I was up at daylight on Saturdays with the TV producing all that delectable content.
Sure was
I was a MONTH old in September 1967
It's hard to believe that a half century has passed since these wonderful cartoons made a deep mark on my childhood. I still remember them as if it was yesterday.
INDEED!
I do too😥😥😥 makes me really want to go back to those days when tv was free too watch!!!!!!!

I know so did my brothers I have 6 brothers they watched these cartoons and they would go between channels mom would holler stop turning my TV before you blow out the tube or leave it on one channel they love cereal fruit loops trixs frosted flakes memories
A little before my time (I grew up with 1970's-1980's Saturday morning cartoons) but I love these in reruns as well. I especially loved Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Young Samson and Birdman & The Galaxy Trio!!
Locktwiste72 I loved these old cartoons as much as the new ones in the 80s.
If you're interested they're available on DVD now. 5-30-24.
I remember watching all the reruns in the mid 70s. Best cartoons ever!! Great time to be a kid, unlike now.
I wish it was like this again I had a great childhood
Watched them all!!! Gratitude for the fond memories.
FredFlix....I wanna thank you for taking me thru my memories at 6 and 7yrs old Saturday mornings 😍 I STILL remember my cousins and I trying to spend the night with our great grandmother, she was the ONLY family member in 67" who had a COLOR TV😁🤘 Now THAT was well worth dealing with a slightly gruff Russian imigrant JUST to watch her TV in the morning.....she stayed up almost ALL night watching her shows as she called em.... Mike Douglas, Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, Georgie Jessel and Lord knows who else.... as I watched the different Channel lineups I realized I was familiar and remembered ALL of the cartoons and because of course at 58 I think like an adult I couldn't understand how I could have seen ALL of THEM 😨🤔 since it's NOT like I had a DVR lol and then BLAMO!!! It hit me, that at that AGE I wasn't allowed to change the channel 😁😂😂😂. I guess each Saturday I got a somewhat different TV line up🤘😁😍♥️😉👍🏼. Again, thanks for the memories......
Well I am gonna say this. I just turned sixty six years old and I remember all of these.
highlife0586 yeah crazy these are 50 years old !!!
That means you have experience !lol!
highlife0586 GOD BLESS YOU AND THEY WERE GOOD. AS A KID; I LIVED FOR THE WEE WILLIE WEBBER SHOW AFTER SCHOOL AND SATURDAY MORNINGS! JOHNNY QUEST WAS MY FAVORITE AND CAPTAIN SCARLET ( SPECTRUM IS GREEN! [S.I.G. ] ). ABSOLUTELY GREAT MEMORIES!!
Same to you my friend.thank god for youtube. So we can watch the greatest cartoons that ever was seen!
I always thought Casper was too wimpy.
I was a born a few years later. I remember the Hanna Barberra hour which featured among others, the Impossibles, Space Ghost, Birdman, and the Herculoids - my absolute favorites. Followed by Captain Caveman, Thundarr the Barbarian, and the first 60’s Marvel Comics cartoons.
If you're interested these classics are available on DVD now. 5-30-24.
Space ghost, Frankenstein JR, Fantastic Four, The Herculoids, Spider-Man, Shazzam, Young Samson, King Kong, Moby Dick and Mighty Thor, Birdman & the Galaxy Trio, Superman Aquaman, Atom Ant, even Secret Squirrel, I watched them all. I did so much channel flicking trying to watch cartoons that were against each other, it must have driven my parents crazy.
Some of these cartoons made it over to europe in the mid 70's.We where able to watch them in Belgium thx to french television.They where subbed in french,but by a very talented team who did almost every cartoon up until the 80's.Very good memories for me!!!
Thank you for the ride back in time!
I was born in December 1966, I love this cartoons back then but watched it in the 1970's.
I was born in February of 1963....Valentine's Day! Such memories of getting out of bed on a Saturday morning to watch cartoons.
I miss space ghost , the Herculoids & Johny Quest . They vvere on TV ( in syndication nationally) throughout the early to mid 1970's & re-appeared around 1979-1980 back by popular demand . Am glad they can be found here on youtube.....VVovv ! just savv Journey to the Center of the Earth ! Hadnt seen it in Decades & memories of eating scrambled eggs vv/ketchup for breakfast came flooding back . TYVM for sharing these clips, am gonna revvatch JttCotE next ! :)
This was awesome, thanks for uploading it, here in the UK we never got a 10th of those amazing cartoons until way later, late 70s and 80s onwards.
Wow, you can really see the influence Young Samson had on He-Man. From the look of his build, his hair, and the way he transforms into the hero. The puppy turns into a Lion ( Cringer into Battle Cat)
phohead All this time i never knew just how Young Samson got his powers.
The wrist bands that he wore turned him and his dog into Young Samson and Goliath. I thought that Marvel Comics' "Cosmic" Captain Marvel comic ripped off that concept when Rick Jones found the Nega-Bands.
@@DavidTSmith-jn5bs ..
Young Samson spawned: He-Man & Marvel's Captain Mar-Vell & Rick Jones
VVovv, TY for the reference ! didnt knovv he man had another cartoon its ideas came from as they alvvays cite D&D game playing as its origins
Now that's Entertainment! All those cartoons and tv series themes including marvel , hanna barbra, you get junk by today's standards... thank God for 1960s cartoon and tv shows and music!!!!!!!!!
deana diedrich Yes, I absolutely LOVE the music.
You're saying that because that's what you grew up with. If you grew up in the 90s, you'd be raving about its cartoons and calling others "junk."
deana diedrich hell yeah!!! Real Cartoons...... don't forget the Banana splits & Thunder the barbarian.😃👍🏽
Fantastic Four! The BEST animated FF ever! And you can't get it on DVD because WB holds the rights. Disney can't get it... 😑
@BlackHawk 66 great year
Hanna-Barbera had a lockdown on Saturdays
They did, they really did; they were the kings of Saturday morning television back then! 5-30-24.
Brought back all my childhood memories of watching this every time back then
Wow. How I loved to watch these Catoons in my childhood. It was the first thing after to go home from School : Turn on TV. From Rio Brazil. Congratulations.
Alex Toth design of Shazam, space ghost, young Samson, birdman, etc etc. Amazing!!
He did Johny Quest too . Theres a good documentary here on YT about Alex Toth if you search vv/a lot of great sketches for initial character design, Sorry I dont knovv hovv to post links , though I hope youll check it out if you havnt seen it already.
Thank you for preserving these wonderful memories. Wow, that really struck a chord and brought back some good times. I watched all these growing up in the 70s. I had a paper route then, loved going to 7-Eleven and getting comic books, eating way too much sugar and loved my Saturday morning cartoons(again, with too much sugar). *sigh* Oh, to relive a week of that again.
Fred, I must say growing up in the sixties was incredible as a kid. Also, your videos always give me goosebumps. Today's kids will never know the pure joy at the cartoons of the past. You keep posting them and I will continue watching them, great job.
There something call boomerang and streaming website.
@@MrSafior Not the same. Pass.
Today's kids who grew up with Higher Quality shows know that 60s American Cartoons are Garbage .
@Curious George, today's kids have a mega frakton of cartoons to watch, on cable, on streaming, and on terrestrial broadcasting (PBS Kids and CBC Kids being two examples) they just don't watch it on Saturday morning.
@@WolverinePete, very much the same, since Boomerang shows older cartoons anyway. Also, not all cartoons are the 'Cal Arts' style either.
I LOVE SPACE GHOST I LOVE THESE OLD CARTOONS THEY WERE THE BEST.
You said no one watched George of the Jungle, I did. 1967 I was 14. I watched it every saturday.
These are my child memories wish I could go back and spend internity there
The Herculoids, Frankenstein Jr., Space Ghost, Spiderman, Bugs Bunny, The Arabian Knights, Johnny Quest and Secret Squirrel 🐿️ and Morocco Mole were some of my favorite cartoons growing up!
Good choices!
And Paul Frees (my fave) is in two of those cartoons
@@lowbaritonewwj yes, God bless his soul.
And mine.
Walt Disney made movie history, but Hanna-Barbara ruled Saturday mornings.
And you know that's right!!!
Jose gregario becerra
Prime time, too.
Oh yeah!!
even these days it still happen again.. Marvel Studios (owned by Disney) ruled the super hero movies but in TV, Warner Bros (who owned Hannah Barbera) ruled the super hero genre in animation and live action series
I remember some of those. Spiderman and Young Samson and Superman was my favorite. I was playing between shows. Loved the classic toons!!
"...and his duck." These cartoons were just everything! I was born in 1970 and there was just something special about Saturday morning TV.
I remember every one of these. Thanks for your work!
YESSS!!!!!! 62yrs. and still loving my Cartoons!!!!!
Spot on mate,,,Australia,,58 years old ,
Saturday morning was what we waited for all week long! It was great!!!
Wow, thanks for showing this, ohh the memories!! I seem to remember in Los Angeles, it was The Impossibles at 7:00am, The Hecurliods 7:30am then if I was lucky I was able to watch Shazam at 8:00am providing my mom didn't turn off our TV. But then Space Ghost 8:30am was on. I seem to remember watching (at my friend's house) Casper and somewhere in the lineup was Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show. And finally, I seem to remember Johnny Quest was on in those years too. (BTW I like George of the Jungle).
I'm surprised CBS didn't tape delay the cartoons for the West Coast. Usually, the networks would run a show, say, at 8 p.m. in the east and 7 p.m. central, but for the west the show would not come on until 8 p.m., the same time as the east. I guess they didn't do that with the Sat. morning cartoons.
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD IN THE 80'S...I WAS LUCKY TO WATCH REPEATS...HOPE THEY MAKE MOVIES OUT OF THESE
Thank you! For the REALLY GREAT DIP IN the KIDDIE POOL OF MY YOUTH!
Saturday Mornings baby! HELL YEAH!!
Bowl uh cereal with milk and plop down infront of the tube and get off for 2 or 3 hours!!
my personal alltime fav five were:
1) HERCULOIDS
2) SPACE GHOST
3) BIRDMAN
4) JOHNNY QUEST
5) SPIDERMAN
Liked all your choices except Birdman. Would have put Shazzan in#3
Those are great!! My top 5
1) Spiderman & his amazing friends
2) Dungeons & Dragons
3) Thundarr the Barbarian
4) Herculoids
5) Johnny Quest
TY SO MUCH FOR THIS-THOUGH I WAS BORN IN 1968-ALL OF THESE CARTOONS WERE EITHER SHOWN IN SYNDICATION IN THE 70'S OR REBROADCASTED AGAIN AS WELL ON THE THREE BIG NETWORKS-I WISH TVLAND OR BOOMERANG WOULD TAKE THESE CARTOONS AND CREATE A SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON TRIBUTE ON A REGULAR BASIS.
Depending on when in 1968 you were born....a few episodes of the 1967-1968 year may have been released. Me? I was born in mid-summer 1967 JUST before these cartoons (syndicated or not) were released.
You're sooooo right Perry, I've thought the same thing about the old tv line-ups, it would be cool to see these shows in their original time slots and day of the week they came on; probably wouldn't make much money, but it would be sweet.
Yes , am glad for syndication as I vvatched them in the 1970's & a channel rerunning these vvould do vvell as vvell as attract nevv fans
Just go to the www.wbshop.com, and buy all of the *Hanna-Barbera Classics!*
Seen these between the ages of 6-9 years old. Am 59 years old now and I still have fond memories of these toons. ALL OF THEM. Especially Birdman
thanks so much for uploading ! on sat. mornings - to the great annoyance of my parents- i would get up to watch the tv test pattern ! after that, on to local cartoon programming- popeye, etc., 'til 9, and watch most of the cartoons you've included in this video- , and then shockingly- i went outside to play with my friends- for hours on end, completely unsupervised by adults ! ...it was another time, another place.
OMG,the era i grew up in (and into the 70s)! I :) remember them ALL! This was back when Saturday morning tv was worth getting up for! Thankfully a lot of these are on dvd now and TH-cam,etc. Thanks so much for posting,Great memories!
I thought the 70's kind of lost some of it's luster and they put on more educational and less violent cartoons.
Anyone remember when a call would go out to - "The Mighty Heroes?" StrongMan - RopeMan - DiaperMan - TornadoMan etc. lol
MisterMasterShafter1 yep. Baby man with his lethal baby bottle w as s always funny
Early Ralph Bakshi :)
I do. It was a lifetime ago. I miss the innocence of that time.
Yes! Among with Mighty Mouse, and Heckle & Jeckle! Good call!👀👏
CooCoo man
TRUE! Best season, EVER.
I REALLY feel sorry for kids these days; they no longer even have the EXPERIENCE of watching cartoons on Saturday morning.
Bradley Greenwood or learning any of the moral lessons they taught.
I agree with both of you; as kids, I think we needed to see various characters--whether they looked fairly realistic, or cartoony--doing amazing things. Much like our parents probably followed the adventure comic strips in the newspapers...avidly(lol). These days, I think, are a good time to bring back that spirit of adventure and excitement. It makes for a great refuge from these times, times that I find very hard to understand.
What's really sad is that most children today have their heads buried in cell phone and computer screens for all of the available information, but can't form sentences or comprehend what it takes to have a halfway decent conversation with people their own age, let alone an adult! As a child, after watching cartoons, we went outside to meet and play with other children in our neighborhoods and learn about living as children to grow into young adults! Gone are the days of catching bugs and sandboxes. Riding bikes and being home when the street lights came on! Today's society is hard on its youth!
We got it made growing up
Love these they are great remember them all watched with my girls in the 70’s . Thanks for sharing
Thanks!!! Thanks to all the superheroes and all their powers!!!! This took me back to a happier, brighter time! I'm 62 now, but watching this brought back memories of an age of my life that regenerated my very being!!!! It's great to be young again, even in my soul, my mind!
You're welcome, Timothy.
Thank you for sharing the memory of what Saturday mornings were about. :)
Thanks for the memories! I loved George of the jungle.
"WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!"
Well I can honestly say that I am 57 years old and my friends and I along with most kids had a great time watching Saturday morning cartoons they might off had some violence but it was always the hero prevailing witch taught us good guys take down bad guys what I am saying is it clearly showed what was bad and what was good and gave us values of good and evil and we didn't grow up shooting up schools or post offices or anything like that
Nicely said, Trenton.
Trenton Sizemore I agree with most of what you said, but I think that you should have put more into the writing of it. You wrote a big run-on sentence and used a lot of misspellings or incorrect words.
By the way, I think that for every kid who was influenced properly by the good guys, there was a kid who identified with the bad guys and turned into a piece of shit later in life.
Robbie D Voyage to the
Bottom of the Sea was cool.
same age me
I agree it taught us respect always do good deeds and to respect our elders something you don't see in today's generation.
Oh wow, Thanks for this. I had totally forgotten about Young Samson. This is the first time I've seen it since those days. I turned 4 years old August 1967, now 55
Thanks! It was a great trip down memory lane! (And I did watch Shazzan!) LOL
Oh, we did too watch "George of the Jungle!" However, my favorite from that year was "Fantastic Four."
George was enough fun to watch, just barely. I grew up in Florida and the heat outdoors was daunting. Easier to sit on a chill tile floor and watch more cartoons, any cartoons.
George was Funnier than almost any other cartoon
"WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!"
The entire marvel u would have been introduced following 1968, but the pta shot down superhero cartoons.
It's Friday night as I write this. Full episodes for a lot of these shows can be found on TH-cam. I'm tempted to create a playlist with a bunch of them and then get up early tomorrow morning, fire up the TH-cam app on my smart TV and then sit on the floor in front of the tube (we used to call it that back then) with a bowl of Cap'n Crunch cereal.
Or a big stack of pancakes swimming in maple syrup!!
And maybe some Morton's honey buns
Fruit loops, scratchy couch box on 1side of me half gallon of milk the other side good times
Yeah, okay.
I liked Super Sugar Crisp cereal myself.
I remember watching all of these: oops, my age is showing👴 Great look back FredFlix❤️👍
Thank you for sharing brings back so many wonderful memories man I'm old but still happy and blessed I'm here
You're welcome, Darryl.
This was a little before my time... but luckily they reran these all the time in the 70s. Great saturday morning memories!
All this before the Superfriends even existed.
I remember thinking as a kid that Superfriends was super lame! And I could still vaguely remember at this time that the Justice League show of the 1960's was better...or at least it had a greater variety of superheroes. (I was partial to Green Lantern.)
All made by Alex Toth!
Amaba esas caricaturas y aun me parecen maravillosas 53 años despues🤗
What about the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour? And Johnny Quest?
Wile E cayote!
And Lollipop Lenny 🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🐭🐭🐭🌙🌛🌕🌕🎑🚀
Eventhogh i was born in 79 i still love them and remember them
Gosh he cant get um all
My favorite cartoons were Space Ghost, the Herculoids, Birdman, the Galaxy Trio, Moby Dick, Mightor, Young Samson and the Fantastic 4.
I'm from Brazil. Just turned 50.
And I tell you too. O swear I remember all these cartoons.
Sooo good times...
In the UK we we're lucky to get these replayed in the 70s and 80s on the BBC and itv when they was good channels
most of these were great but the greatest was Jonny Quest!
If nothing else, it had the coolest theme song.
Rich Elliott SO right! An evening show, with a great theme song!
Agreed!
Así es
I loved that show as a kid as well, but, like The Flintstones, it started out as an evening show that went into reruns on Saturday mornings years later. They tried to reboot the series on Cartoon Network but I didn't like it very much.
"watch out for that tree! Ahahahahah!" Yah, I watched George of the Jungle and still remember the theme song. God we're old.
I so remember these shows! They way they got on air was that Fred Silverman, then the president of children's programming at CBS brought in a stack of comics, plopped them down on HANNA-BARBERA'S DESKS AND SAID "this IS WHAT I WANT!" I'm glad he did!
Just found this video post and want to say thank you. As a 70 year old who watched most of those shows in the 60's as a kid, your post brought back a lot of memories. Sitting around the t.v. with my parents (may they rest in peace) and brothers, and sister it was a family event for us. A bonding. Thank you.
omg, i forgot about the super6.
your vid quality is so clear
brings back memories
thanks for posting
You're welcome. The Super 6 theme was by Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
I loved the soundtrack for birdman, and herculoids. Needless to say, I have these as my ringtones for my 2 sons.
I had not remembered that space ghost did a 'tag-team' with galaxy trio
I must say, Hanna-Barbera did a great job controlling the airways on Saturday mornings
You're welcome. Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching.
I loved to watch Space Ghost, the Herculoids, Shazzan, Atom Ant, Aqua Man, the Flintstones, and tons of old time cartoons are the best?
Steven Baer. So true. Saturday mornings were the best. Good times back then.
Steven Baer Great times ,,here in Australia ,the 70 ,,long gone mate ,
I loved the jazz scores used in the Hanna-Barbera cartoons. They went along with the Thrush-James Bondish nature of the villains in Jonny Quest and The Fantastic Four.
Ok, so Doctor Doom was Soviet but his relationship with Reed Richards was the same as Batman (not counting the history change in the 1989 Batman movie) and The Joker...the villain was defaced by something nuclear.
I actually had a Shazzan Halloween costume one year.
"In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light he arrives, just in time!"
Look out ! Here comes the Spider Man !!!
My favorite of all the group.
Is he strong?
Listen bud!
He's got radioactive blood.
Season 1 was great, but seasons 2 and 3 weren't that good. They changed the format to more science fiction and fantasy as opposed to season 1 where Spider-man fought his traditional villains. The animation was worse too because they cut the budget for seasons 2 and 3 too.
Yet, this show had one of the best all time Superhero themes of any era. It's a shame kids today think Miles Morales is Spider-man not Peter Parker because of the animated movie "Into the Spiderverse" from a few years ago. There's even a TH-cam version of this Spider-man theme with Miles Morales as Spider-man. Truly sad. Peter [Parker will always be Spider-man to me.
I remember these cartoons in the mid 70's and enjoyed them all. Also, a lot of these cartoons were on TV until the late 70's. When I was a kid I never know they were from the late 60's. Thanks for the memories!
Thank you for uploading this video! Great memories. I'm 56 years old now but was 5-6 years old in 1967-1968 and I remember watching most of these, but on a black & white Magnavox tv! TH-cam is the first time I've seen most of these in color; my folks didn't get a color set until 1973! Hanna Barbera and Filmation were the bomb back in those days; Ted Knight was a busy man handling the narration on those Filmation shows. Although not mentioned in the video, my favorite cartoon from that time was the Lone Ranger/Tonto which, if I remember right, aired in NYC (WCBS Channel 2) on Saturday around noon or 1pm.
Thanks for your comment, jerseyoldschool.
Thanks for the memories. I did however enjoy the zany “George of the Jungle”.
That had the subtle insightful humor like Rocky & Bullwinkle.
Me too
"WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!" Hilarious!!!
These cartoons bring back a lot of child hood memories
Loved How DC comics brought back the Hanna Barberra Super heroes in the 12 issue comic FUTURE QUEST.
Saturday morning cartoons were so much fun back in the day. I was just 10 yrs old then. Being a die-hard Marvel fan, I always looked forward to seeing the Fantastic Four and Spiderman!
I remember all of those shows and also the preview shows the Friday night before the start of a new season. I grew up in the Los Angeles market, so some of the promos aren’t familiar. I also loved the Sid and Marty Kroft shows like H.R Puff-N-Stuf And the Banana Splits(including: The Three Musketeers, Arabian Knights and Danger Island). Great video!
Thanks for posting, this brings back many amazing memories every Saturday morning; fighting with brothers who’s gonna sit closest to the TV lol
