Born in ‘66 and feel that I was blessed to have grown up when I did. My friends and I had our bikes, our imaginations, and unlimited ideas on things to do for fun. Saturday mornings were pure magic with cartoons and cereal commercials. Who here remembers pestering your mom to let you buy every box of cereal that had a prize in it?
Lol. I used to make my mom buy all kinds of cereals just for the prizes, and then never ate half of them. That used to piss her off so much! Good times
Lol so true about the prizes. My sister and I did the same just for the prizes. My Dad finally ended that when my sister insisted on King Vitamin with the secret decoder ring; the cereal was awful but my sister had to finish the box 🤣
Yup, we entertained ourselves often with a stick and a ball. Oftentimes the girls would be playing with a hula hoop...and or a slinky...lol Give me a skate board....my inner child is coming out....thank you for jarring the memories from within. 🍻
We were lucky in the DFW Metroplex area we had ch. 4 cbs, 5 nbc, 8 abc, 11 independent & 13 pbs plus 21, 27 & 33 were added in 1979. Ch. 11 is cbs now & ch. 4 is Fox.
We got the TV roll about 1 if it was sometime we played outside if it was winter time we played board games Bet some kids are saying what about video games
Ooo, I am 59 right now but later this year I will turn 60. And seeing all of those videos I remember. Gee, how I remember Saturdays, PJ and a big bowl of cereal and cartoons all day long.
I have a year on you. This year I will be 60 and videos like the one that highlights Saturday mornings help to bring back some sweet memories of when we were young and carefree. Mike naver forget, the memories of childhood should be nice. I love watching the videos of shows and ads and remembering how it was.
Oh yes!!!! My little brother would wake up before anyone to watch. One Saturday my mom found a trail of Kraft cheese wrappers leading to my brother..... The outcome was constipation.
I was born in 1966 and my mother wasn’t rich but my childhood was filled with love, friends and fun! Lots of adventures and limitless amounts of discovery. Never boring and never judged, just a kid being a kid.
I was born in 64. Watching this mix reminded me how glad I am to have been a kid in the late 60s and 70s. The 80s were also great. I had a smile on my face the whole time.
I was born in 64 too! TV and Entertainment was so much better in those days from late 60's through the 70's. My first favorite cartoon was either Kimba The White Lion or Speed Racer, not wither I don't think was mentioned.
The magical morning, when the kids took over the TV. Then after the cartoons. We bolted outside. And didn't stop till dark. Or the street lights came on. . No video games, most telephone lines were party lines. Fishing,trapping and baseball kept my attention.
@@Jagg61 I was just explaining how much fun and freedom there was back then . Make yourself a bowl of cereal, enjoy cartoons all morning, a few chores then off to the great outdoors.
*My favorite thing about this wonderful and amazing video collection is the GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION expressed in the comments by people who have realized they are GRATEFUL to have been BLESSED to have been a KID in the 70's and a TEENAGER in the 80's. Thank you all for that reminder! My heart is so full this morning. I needed this. Born in 1968. GRATEFUL!!!*
I am 3 days away from my 59th birthday and what a wonderful video to come across! I am hanging on to every word every commercial, every toy, every cereal, every cartoon. This is the best early birthday present ever thank you thank you for sharing!!🙏🏾💕♈️🎉
Also born in '66. This was a fun walk down memory lane. With today's cartoons 24/7, kids will never know just how sacred Saturday mornings really were.
Yes you are right. All children got Ipads and cell phones now (so they can watch porn, scary and violent movies). 5 year old children in first grade. Parents must know where you are all the time. What a nightmare.
Born in 1970, and I remember watching many of these kid's cartoon and live action shows as reruns in the mid to late 70's. Cool never goes out of style.
I can remember this space in time vividly. I was born in 1970. The best memories of my life. My parents were gems. I remember the fantastic food, the family trips, television programming, and the wonderful music. I will never forget, I often wish one could time travel. Rest in Heaven Dad and Mom I love you both forever. Thank you for a fantastic childhood.♥
So sorry you lost your parents. I was born in 70 as well. Playing outside all day. Just had to be in when the street lights came on. It was the last generation to have that care-free childhood I think.
💖Another 1970 child here, such incredible memories of times changing so rapidly!! Pre-internet & cell phones, like WOW!! I try to get my kids to understand but it's really too far out to truly grasp without having grown up with such constant, massive change. This montage was amazing, a real blast-from-the-past! Thank you!!👏🏼💯💖👏🏼🤟🏼✌🏼
I was born in 1960 and was fortunate enough to experience it all along with the 70’s & 80’s. Life was so good back then. As a kid you think it’ll always be this way and then reality bites hard and your all grown up and trying to make your way in a much changed world. I will be eternally grateful for living in the best decades ever! Thanks for the memories Johnny Boy! I never will forget it! 😊
@@linasbutcher1914 so nice to see people around the same age! I was born in 61. I've been finding these times very trying! I also miss those times immensely. Thank God we have people like Johnny who Preserve a part of our history! This has been my sanity and my enjoyment. I am forever grateful for these videos and those like them. I love reading these comments especially in these trying times. People have become anti-social. I go to appointments everyone's on their phones playing games. No one addresses other people to say hello or have a little friendly conversation. I'm not used to this. I don't want to know someone's life story , just a pleasant little hello and exchange some pleasantries. Maybe I'm Wrong! I hope everyone's well and staying strong! Love from New England ❤
According to today's young people, my generation didn't have much in the way of entertainment, but this video just reran the memories of my childhood and early teenage years via sugary cereal commercials, Saturday morning cartoons and many of the toys and games my brother and I played together. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable trip back to simpler times. I wouldn't trade those years for anything our current times have to offer.
I'm 58 and that feels like yesterday. That was American life during that time. It gave kids a day to let loose. Right after the cartoons we had to clean our room.
Remember the anticipation of the Fall Premiere issue of TV Guide so we could see what cartoons were coming? Now Saturdays are just the day after Friday and the day before Sunday. Friday night's were cool, too, with Happy Days, Welcome Back Kotter, Laverne & Shieley, etc. There were only 3 TV channels (besides PBS if you could get that friggin' round antenna to work) and that was on clear days. We'd go to school on Monday and everybody would talk about the same shows. Sigh. Now I have to go listen to "Old Days" by Chicago.
What amazes me is how many of these trigger memories that have been hiding in my brain for nearly 60 years. Don't those brain cells have better things to do? Thankfully, no.. Seriously, some of these are bringing tears to my eyes. Saturday mornings were a safe time.
I was born in 64 and these are all my old shows growing up. It wasn't a good weekend without H.R. Pufnstuf. I loved that show! Such a simple and fun time. It seems like just yesterday.
Born in '64 also. Do you remember "Speed Racer" and "Clutch Cargo". Noone worried about the plastic guns, either. My mom was pregnant with me when JFK was assassinated. It was a more simple, yet fun time with Sat A. M. cartoons & commercials.
I was born in 1964 the birth of the Beatles!!!!!! Im very thankful to still be here!!!! The. Best commercials and shows in the 70's and the 60's!!!!!!!
I loved this time in my life. I felt safe and secure. No worries or stress. I enjoyed my bicycle, roller skating, my pets, climbing trees, and playing with matchbox cars. I was a bit of a tomboy. All these shows I watched and loved. Thanks for putting this together. 😁
So true Jeff, miss my parents too as well as that huge console TV in the living room that also had speakers, a turntable and radio. Dad used to have to run down to Eckerd every now and then and replace a tube in that old dinosaur before he went all in on either a Curtis Mathis or a Sony Trinitron in 1975.
A bygone era. I grew up with Saturday morning TV. Shows like Bug Bunny/Road Runner, Schoolhouse Rock, Land of the Lost, Fat Albert, and so much more. This video showed some things I haven't thought of in decades-- In the News, Shazam, etc. And of course there were kids commercials for things like cereal (I loved Frankenberry and Boo Berry) and toys. Lite Brite was my favorite toy. I'd use one today if I could find one!!
OMG!! This really brings back the memories!! I was lucky enough to be raised in the 60's and the 70's, and there was never a better time to grow up!! Half of that stuff we either watched or received as Christmas gifts! That was the best time to grow up! We grew up on a farm so we had to get up an hour earlier on Saturday morning so we could do our chores before the shows started, and there was Saturday Movie Matinee to look forward to! Gilligans Island was on every day too!! You get 5 gold stars for this video!!
I saw games I forgot I wanted to get one day. So many intros and commercial jingles to sing along with. Oh the days when we all had simple fun on TV, with indoor games, and playing outside.
I just want the good parts back. I could have done with out the divorce and moving every friggin year, and the social problems that resulted from always being 'the new kid'. Too many rules and restrictions as a child too. Objectively, it wasn't that great.
Has anyone notice how fat kids are now, and the kids that grew up in the 90's? All day playing video games, and not doing any chores. We watch Saturday cartoon, but then we had to clean house, then go outside to play, and ride out bikes, so we were more physically active. We also had strict parents back then, so we had to clean, take out the trash etc. Now the kids play video games all day and talk back to their parents under a dirty pile of clothes with a half empty plate and flies hovering on the plate. I don't allow the 🐂. Slap them silly.
Man, I totally went back to a little girl watching the cartoons and commercials. What a retro experience. Life was good for me as a child. These cartoons were a saturday GEM! Enjoying the memories!
I was born in 1956 and there are only a few things here that don’t send me right back to my childhood. I remember playing outside til the street lights came on. And I loved Saturday morning cartoons!! Some of the games this showed kept me occupied with my friends for hours. And I found myself singing along to a lot of the theme songs…lol
I was born in 1954 and I too was taken back to my childhood. My brother,sister and I and our friends played outside almost all day.....only went inside to eat lunch and use the restroom........we played until we were called in for dinner. We loved Saturday morning cartoons. I had a Casper talking doll. Also had some of the games shown. Did you by chance ever play an outside night game called Spot? Kind of like Hide n Seek, with a flashlight. We played with our cousins and friends in the 60's. What memories.....being a child and teenager in the 60's
51 here,I started to watch this but was sort of hungry, so I paused it and got myself a bowl of cereal,it wasnt Frankenberry but I still turned the volume way up and sat on the floor like I was 10 years old and watched all of this. Many Thanks!
That was the best! It brings back many great memories of me and my brother, who has passed, eating bowls of super sweet cereal side-by-side and watching many of these Saturday morning shows. Thank you.
everything was loaded with sugar back then. no wonder we were bouncing off the walls as kids i use to love captain crunch, i couldnt get enough of it. with 25c you could buy a full bag of candy at the store............. magical times
Ah yes. The 60's and 70's, Saturday morning, pajamas, siblings, bowls of cereal sitting on the floor watching cartoons; of course at a respectable volume so we don't wake our parents up from their one day to sleep in. :-D
oh my gawd! that was sooooo me! waking up at 6:30am, turning on the TV at a low volume, bowl of cereal, in my blanket, waiting for the boring agriculture show to end before Underdog started and it was on!!
Yup. And, do you think they were really sleeping? It was before everyone was micromanaging all of their kids' lives, and then complaining that they didn't have any time to themselves, or working how to schedule "date night" and where to send the kids? Saturday morning cartoons helped many family dynamics.
Oh my God this was so great!! I was born in 65 so I saw all of this. I loved Saturdays. You got Lancelot Link!! Then you’d watch American Bandstand & Soul Train at noon. Then the rest of Saturday afternoon was movies like “Beach Blanket Bingo”
I was born in 1962 and remember every cartoon and commercial in this video, had a lot of the toys featured as well, you made me remember a lot that I had forgot about, thank you for the memories, the 60’s and 70’s were the best , kids today are missing out , thank you!
Remember - playing tag - hide and go seek - riding a bike without a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads - sitting in the back of a pickup truck on the highway basically, just having fun being a kid.
Like my mom before she die "it amazing every last on you 5 kids survive... No car seat, like you said no.bike helmet or knee and elbow pads. Staying out in the neighborhood till after dark... Mom never worry cause people knew each other. Really a sad world we live in now
Toni Wilson that’s right , and if you were caught by another adult acting a fool, mom knew about it before you got home. I got caught swearing and called a little black girl the n/word. When I got home, my ass found the wrong side of a 6 inches by 18 inches piece of hard oak. My daddy called it “The Educator”. It taught me some very valuable lessons back in 1973. I wasn’t “Educated” very often, probably 5 or 6 times in my childhood. I took a different approach to my kids. I took things away. The Gameboy or PlayStation was replaced by a book to read. Then they had to tell me what the book was about.
Dick Morhead my friend broke the chain on his Huffy, going downhill about 35mph. We were hauling ass racing each other when I heard his 10 year old, high pitch scream (like a girl😳). He broke his wrist and ankle when he crash landed at the bottom. The rest of the summer in casts. We laugh about it today. Our kids look at us like we’re nuts, laughing at broken bones, scrapes, road rash, etc.
Budd Wolf 1966 “The Educator”!!😳😳😳 That’s messed up. Imagine doing that today. The neighborhood narc would tell every police agency, CPS, the school (even if its summer vacation), ACLU.....you name it. From what you say, I’m sure your dad didn’t come home in a pissy mood or (god forbid) drunk and beat you with it.
The Friday nights when my Mom would make a banana cake for dessert were the best, because Saturday morning, armed with my blanket and a pillow I would hit the floor before the sun came up and start my cartoon watching, along with a chevy-sized hunk of Mom's cake. Still my strongest childhood memory. I had the entire morning planned, a show on this channel, change channels for the next show, etc. etc. By the time I got to American Bandstand or the Young People's Concerts on CBS I knew it was time to go outside and get my bike.
Yes so sad………!! And there ‘ll never come back. It was unique, they should have send some in “Voyager “in space , to show other form of life how life was cool on Earth in theses years of humanity 😅🤗
Thanks so much for this wonderful time travel back to my Saturday morning childhood bliss! The day always started at 6:00 am and lasted until noon with a HUGE bowl of Cap'n Crunch!
I just finished watching this and a flood of great memories came over me. I remember every single one of them. It might have been corny but it was also fun!
I wish I could go back to this time... I never realized how wonderful it was. And my Parents made this all happen. I love and miss them! Maybe one day, we all get to go back to a glorious time in our life....🥴 ✝
I know how you feel. Although I love my son, niece & nephews along with my surviving brothers I often feel envious that my mom will see all our love ones in a few years. Don’t get me wrong, she’s fine but in her 80’s. I feel like she’s waited so long to see my brother & sister, my dad & her parents. She’s had a lot of loss but is the strongest person I know 💋
@@samanthab1923 Being blessed with old age is almost a curse. Something I think about a lot of all the people I've lost and won't see again until I cross into the next life.
Born in 67. This collection is amazing! It brings back memories of TV fun I barely remember but loved! TV and indoors was comfort, which is strange, because all I remember is spending 90% of my time outside riding all over the neighborhoods on my Schwinn bike! Thanks!
case? My 36 yr old adult Kiddo said to me" I was completely a kid.... I didnt worry or think about anything"...( she felt she had a very protected and tranquil childhood"... Its 2021: and she travels foe her job, she isn't planning on children. Life is fascinating when one gets to be a child. I wasn't over protective, but I'm sure she tbot I was.
I have a 14 year old and two adult kids in their 30’s, we did our best to protect our youngest from all the garbage of the 2000’s, but it’s scary now a days for kids, it seems that they have to grow up so fast. I tell my 14 year old, enjoy being a kid cuz it doesn’t last forever. Enjoy being young.
Anyone else ever race downstairs to the TV so early that the TV stations hadn’t “woke up” yet? First, the video color bars, then the Star-Spangled Banner, then Looney Tunes...
Yup (minus the Star Spangled Banner: that would've been odd to see in Canada...) and the first shows to come on on my channels were the old Filmation Hercules or Wizard of Oz cartoon shorts; Looney Tunes was towards the end of the morning).
Yes, I used to get up early to catch the cartoons so I wouldn't miss a single one! I used to get around 5:30 or 6 :00 am (I forget which time) to watch "Hercules". I believe Johnny Nash sang the theme song to it. It came on KCOP channel 13 in LA over the antenna. We lived in northern SD county but our antenna got good to great reception. We usually got 12 of the 13 channels on our TV dial! We were able to watch all the LA and San Diego channels plus 2 Mexican stations. Channels: 2 KCBS, 4 KNBC, 5 KTLA, 6 XETV Mex., 7 KABC, 8 KFMB, 9 KHJ , 10 KOGO, 11 KTTV, 12 TJ, Mex., Station, 13 KCOP. That was BC (Before Cable) when, you know TV reception was free!
Breakfast was a bowl of fruity pebbles so I can get it during commercials. Lol... Unless I was at my Grandma's, then she'd make eggs, grits, broiled buttered toast, sausage/bacon, with Nesslie Quick chocolate milk.
Scottish McMillan, Yes. I did! EVERY Saturday morning!!! Sundays, too. Then, later, when my Parents got up, while Mama was making breakfast for my Daddy (my Big Sister and I ate earlier), I’d clamber up, onto my Daddy’s lap where he was reading the Sunday paper. Y’all can probably guess what happened next. I’d kind of cutely insist that Daddy and I “read’ the funny pages together. He never refused me. Then, we’d all get ready for Sunday School. I was, like 4, probably? Happy Holidays, everyone!!!
J Chapman, Hey 👋! I’m jealous! You got to grow up in CA! All those channels! I had to grow up in MS, even though I was born in LA, CA. We had, maybe 3 channels VHF and 1 UHF channel. I think channel 13 was our UHF choice. But, you’ve got a helluva memory, there, J! Wow!! This video brought a smile to my face,...remembering, ya know? Happy Holidays, man!!!
Headie Doll ...I was just thinking that. Up early Saturday morning for cartoons. The last show was around noon. It was The Monkeys for me. Then outside to do chores and play!
Infinite Wisdom Same here, I grew up in rural Louisiana, always did chores till I graduated, I never once complained, imagine kids today if they had chores as you and I did?
Wow you literally covered my entire childhood, from the cereals, breakfast, TV shows, cartoons, toys, games, everything! This was great, thank you for the memories, wish I could turn back the hands of time! 😊
Did that bring back great memories for me and especially the commercials. I was born in 1963 and remember I couldn't wait to watch my favorite shows like HR Pufnstuf, Sigmond and the Sea monster, and Land of the Lost. Thank you so much!
I'm 54 years old and I stopped watching Saturday mornings cartoons after 6th grade...just about the time I stopped trick or treating on Halloween but I fondly remember those Saturday mornings. I never noticed that they have stopped showing Saturday morning cartoons!....that's a tragedy for young people. ...of course nowadays you have "cartoon netwook" and "nikolodeon" which play cartoons 24/7 so maybe that explains the demise of Saturday morning cartoons on the Big Three Networks.
@Sylvester Jennings...You said it so perfectly.....and the loss of simplicity of the American life, the family dynamics of the Americans, the quality time. Ugh.
I was born in 1960 and I remember the Beatles cartoon and the Monkees. But I had forgotten about the Jackson 5, the Hudson Brothers and the Osmond Brothers. Wow! You brought back so many great memories for me. What a great time it was for us to be a kid! Especially the games for we were never board. My favorites were Ker Plunk, Battleship, Spill The Beans, Trouble and more. Does anyone remember Lincoln Logs and the Sorry game? I miss those days and wish they'd bring back the old cartoons. Kids today would enjoy them. I am so grateful to have experienced all that!
Yes, I remember Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys. I also remember flying rubber band powered wooden model airplanes. Skeeters and Sleek Streeks, those things really flew very well.
@@michaelfleming40 Oh yeah I remember the Flying rubber band airplanes. It was a blast seeing them soar through the air. But the Skeeters and Sleek Streeks... are you pulling my leg? Because I don't remember those.
This is what life was all about. Real things to do other than playing video games and having our nose buried in our phones, not speaking to one another. Kids today should watch this and see what it was like back in the days.
I second that there was a time when kids played on a baseball field or football field basketball court and when you got sent to your room there was no TV there was no internet there were no video games there were no computers a bat a baseball and lucky if you had a transistor radio otherwise it was you if you had a brother bunk beds and that was it
Those were great times, God bless you, Ms. M. I'll be 60, in May, of 2022, everyone who was a kid in that era, 60's, 70's. It was special, for all of us, now who have kids, they wouldn't understand that our era, was special, it not like now.
Born in 63, and turning 60 next year and seeing these commercials and cartoons brings back so many good memories of my childhood. Some of these jingles as they start playing, even though I haven’t heard them in 50 years, they come right back to me. I remember waking up at 6am to watch Davey and galiath, mr magoo just to mention a few to start off the morning. Memories of my grandmother who lived with would make me my breakfast, soft boiled egg. Sometimes French toast or cereal… and I’d sit all morning and watch all of these shows until noon right after the bugs bunny road runner hour then I’d go out and play with my friends. Still I hum the jingles of school house rock. We should all plan a Saturday morning reunion get together lol. God I miss our childhood. Those were the days!!
i would take my dads saw , hammer and nails and made my own toys. he was at work and did not know i had his tools. remember the 40 hour work week and weekends off. we were a poor family and i built most of the things i needed. i really miss those days.
'65 here. Going through really rough times in this new world order of things and this is EXACTLY what I needed. To be reminded of what I gratefully got to live and experience as a kid growing up in the 60s/70s: the sights, sounds, smells, free-spirited and playful adventure outdoors - ALL DAY - and all over, wood panelling, loud prints, macrame, and the COOLEST CARS EVER!! ... (mind you, in 20-30yrs from now, kids born in the 90s are going to be saying the exact same thing about their own era - well, except for the unsupervised and adventurous playtime outdoors) ... every sense came rushing back to me. Seriously the best time to grow up! Thanks for this : ). I wish all post 70s kids could have experienced the things we had growing-up.
I was born in 1960 and I had all this from 1966 thru grade school and early high school. Plus the RUDOLPH Xmas specials and Charlie Brown specials . Perfect timing . And Batman too
And Mario, remember the Christmas concerts we used to host for our parents in those days? We would dress up in campy Christmas costumes and sing carols for our parents. Schools weren't afraid of celebrating Christmas back then. Now it violates the separation of Church and State.
I remember when the Grinch cartoon premiered-- December 18, 1966. I was so looking forward to it. But I got really sick singing in my church's Christmas program earlier in the day and was sent straight to bed once we got home. The TV room was next to my bedroom, and I could hear the Grinch on the TV but couldn't watch it :(
I was born in 64 and my brother 68. Saturdays were the best. Kids today just don't know what they missed. These are some of the real oldies. I barely remember some of them.
Some of these TV SHOWS were so much fun watching as a child growing up in Australia. A lot of it was OUT THERE for back then. Yet not, for the young child has a wonderful & wide imagination. Thanks for this, it was fun strolling down memory lane.
Born in ‘66 and feel that I was blessed to have grown up when I did. My friends and I had our bikes, our imaginations, and unlimited ideas on things to do for fun. Saturday mornings were pure magic with cartoons and cereal commercials. Who here remembers pestering your mom to let you buy every box of cereal that had a prize in it?
Lol. I used to make my mom buy all kinds of cereals just for the prizes, and then never ate half of them. That used to piss her off so much! Good times
I was also lucky to have been born in 66. Operation was my game and Buggs Bunny was my tune. 💜
@@sherrybillings6311 I still have anxiety disorder from that game and perfection 😂😂😂😎😎
Lol so true about the prizes. My sister and I did the same just for the prizes. My Dad finally ended that when my sister insisted on King Vitamin with the secret decoder ring; the cereal was awful but my sister had to finish the box 🤣
Hey craig...you have brother named Jim..mom shirley?....if so..my mom babysat you when you were little...☺️
That was back when you may only get 3 or 4 channels on your TV. Life back then was so much easier were you spent a lot of time playing outside.
Yup, we entertained ourselves often with a stick and a ball. Oftentimes the girls would be playing with a hula hoop...and or a slinky...lol
Give me a skate board....my inner child is coming out....thank you for jarring the memories from within. 🍻
Hey I love the 60s. Moves and 70s and 80s ok
We were lucky in the DFW Metroplex area we had ch. 4 cbs, 5 nbc, 8 abc, 11 independent & 13 pbs plus 21, 27 & 33 were added in 1979. Ch. 11 is cbs now & ch. 4 is Fox.
We got the TV roll about 1 if it was sometime we played outside if it was winter time we played board games
Bet some kids are saying what about video games
Yup
I just turned 59 and this is like watching my entire childhood flash before my eyes. Great stuff!
Thanks so much Mike !!!
Ooo, I am 59 right now but later this year I will turn 60. And seeing all of those videos I remember. Gee, how I remember Saturdays, PJ and a big bowl of cereal and cartoons all day long.
60 here and I had to smile all the way through. Remembered most of these word for word.
Yep...im 57...thats exactly how I felt watching this vid smiling all through it...miss the simple days.
I have a year on you. This year I will be 60 and videos like the one that highlights Saturday mornings help to bring back some sweet memories of when we were young and carefree. Mike naver forget, the memories of childhood should be nice. I love watching the videos of shows and ads and remembering how it was.
I'm 70 years old and I remember all of these!! Love it!! Miss those days so much!!
Many thanks for watching.. Happy New Year !!!
Old commercials and shows like this lower my blood pressure and relieve my depression.
Yessss!!!
I agree. They're so comforting.
Lol Tom i know exactly what you mean. It just seemed so much easier.
Aaamen !!
Absolutely Tom, what memories. Those were the best happiest years and times, I miss those days so much I want to cry almost every day…
I will forever cherish the fact that I grew up during this time.
Me too. !!!!!! I am 58 (1964)
'66 here how did we survive? 🤔 in today's sterilized stuffy fast paced technological world it's a nice escape to a simpler time.
Me too, 59 here ,1963
Twas a Great time to be a Kid!!! ❤
Born in 1958. The Innocent age😊
I was born in 1961 and could still follow these word for word some 50 years later. Wonderful.
Many thanks G.M !!!
can you read me a story
Same!!
Me too!
Shows you how kids' brains are like sponges.
Born in 64 and watched practically ALL these shows. Saturday's were the BEST!! Followed up by American Band Stand and Soul Train. Loved being a kid!
The best of times for sure, my friend and thank you for watching 😊
I know! It was great
born 63
I hit the road by the time those last two were on. Unless Christopher Lee was coming on to be Dracula.
I was also born in 64, we must have been watching every single program at the exact same time! El Paso Tx. Great memmories.
It’s funny how I had trouble waking up for school during the week but would wake up extra early on Saturday mornings
I would get up at 4 AM and sneak to the den with my pillow and blanket so I could have the best end of the sofa for cartoons! Sorry little bro! LOL
Same here too. I was born in 1963 and I just loved television programmes on Saturday mornings
Same here! With my bowl of Lucky Charms! 👍
Yeppers.... I'd Even set my Alarm in the Early 80's So I Didn't Miss Them!
Oh yes!!!! My little brother would wake up before anyone to watch. One Saturday my mom found a trail of Kraft cheese wrappers leading to my brother..... The outcome was constipation.
Growing up in the 70's was awesome and being a teen in the 80's even better.
Totally
You got THAT right...and we had some music to ..."date' by!!!!
The BEST. And being a young adult in the 90’s. Come ON. Couldn’t have asked for a better set of decades.
@Pamela Zimnizzle
They were, you don't get to have that much fun anymore.
Indeed
My God what wonderful memories, we were so blessed to be kids in America
were the kids in America, whoa oh..
Millennials and the iGenerations don't have a clue!!🤣🤣🤣
It’s a world all gone forever....we will never get back to those simple times.
Yes we were truly blessed and wow how the times have changed
@@tonyedwards2064 From a British singer!
I was born in 1966 and my mother wasn’t rich but my childhood was filled with love, friends and fun! Lots of adventures and limitless amounts of discovery. Never boring and never judged, just a kid being a kid.
Remember laying on the grass looking up at the clouds think what each one looked like?
I was born in 64. Watching this mix reminded me how glad I am to have been a kid in the late 60s and 70s. The 80s were also great. I had a smile on my face the whole time.
Thank you Carrie... all the best :):):)
I was born in 64 too! TV and Entertainment was so much better in those days from late 60's through the 70's. My first favorite cartoon was either Kimba The White Lion or Speed Racer, not wither I don't think was mentioned.
@@SingingTimberwolf I remember them both!! :)
Born in 68,wouldn’t change a thing,well maybe the Bay City Rollers.Thank you for the memories,and don’t burn yourself on that Wood Burning Kit lol.
@@oxyfee6486 No mention of the Laughalymphics, Ark 21, or the Star Trek animated series.
I grew up as a kid in the 60's and 70's and remember these cartoons fondly. Saturday mornings were the best day of the week.
Our holy day !!! :)
I always felt sorry for the coyote Bugs bunny
And the commercials were just as much a big deal as the actual cartoon!!
The magical morning, when the kids took over the TV. Then after the cartoons. We bolted outside. And didn't stop till dark. Or the street lights came on. . No video games, most telephone lines were party lines. Fishing,trapping and baseball kept my attention.
@@Jagg61 I was just explaining how much fun and freedom there was back then . Make yourself a bowl of cereal, enjoy cartoons all morning, a few chores then off to the great outdoors.
*My favorite thing about this wonderful and amazing video collection is the GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION expressed in the comments by people who have realized they are GRATEFUL to have been BLESSED to have been a KID in the 70's and a TEENAGER in the 80's. Thank you all for that reminder! My heart is so full this morning. I needed this. Born in 1968. GRATEFUL!!!*
Many thanks Mike... all the best :) - JB
Morning other Mike, I was born in 1962 and I am surely Blessed to have grown up in the 60s and 70s I've been reliving those years lately in my memory
I am 3 days away from my 59th birthday and what a wonderful video to come across!
I am hanging on to every word every commercial, every toy, every cereal, every cartoon.
This is the best early birthday present ever thank you thank you for sharing!!🙏🏾💕♈️🎉
1967 here...
1964 here
Also born in '66. This was a fun walk down memory lane. With today's cartoons 24/7, kids will never know just how sacred Saturday mornings really were.
My God life was so much better back then.
Yes you are right. All children got Ipads and cell phones now (so they can watch porn, scary and violent movies). 5 year old children in first grade. Parents must know where you are all the time. What a nightmare.
Modern life is like every single episode of the Twilight Zone, all rolled into one.
@@ChatGPT1111 good prospective.
@@thegrayknight71 that is ALL by design. satan is the ruler of this world.
"Better" is relative in this instance.
Born in 1962, so this was a FASCINATING, AMAAAAAAAAZING JOURNEY DOWN MEMORY LANE FOR ME
Kids in the 60's & 70's had it best. Just enough TV & plenty of freedom. Mom just wanted us out of the house because she was busy. Awesome!
Born in 1970, and I remember watching many of these kid's cartoon and live action shows as reruns in the mid to late 70's. Cool never goes out of style.
I can remember this space in time vividly. I was born in 1970. The best memories of my life. My parents were gems. I remember the fantastic food, the family trips, television programming, and the wonderful music. I will never forget, I often wish one could time travel. Rest in Heaven Dad and Mom I love you both forever. Thank you for a fantastic childhood.♥
So sorry you lost your parents. I was born in 70 as well. Playing outside all day. Just had to be in when the street lights came on. It was the last generation to have that care-free childhood I think.
What sweet kind words ❤ bless them and you too!
They don’t call it programming for nothing.
That’s very sweet. Sad that both your parents are gone 🙏🏻
💖Another 1970 child here, such incredible memories of times changing so rapidly!! Pre-internet & cell phones, like WOW!! I try to get my kids to understand but it's really too far out to truly grasp without having grown up with such constant, massive change. This montage was amazing, a real blast-from-the-past! Thank you!!👏🏼💯💖👏🏼🤟🏼✌🏼
I was born in 1960 and was fortunate enough to experience it all along with the 70’s & 80’s. Life was so good back then. As a kid you think it’ll always be this way and then reality bites hard and your all grown up and trying to make your way in a much changed world. I will be eternally grateful for living in the best decades ever! Thanks for the memories Johnny Boy! I never will forget it! 😊
So very true Linas... Thank you ! :)
@@Johnnyboy792
Your welcome! 🙂
Yes, you said it exactly spot on.
Hope you're doing well. I think all us born in the 60's are hanging in there. Take care.
@@susanfromthemountains1754
Thank you Susan and yes I am doing well and I hope you are too. Take care as well. 🙂
@@linasbutcher1914 so nice to see people around the same age! I was born in 61. I've been finding these times very trying! I also miss those times immensely. Thank God we have people like Johnny who Preserve a part of our history! This has been my sanity and my enjoyment. I am forever grateful for these videos and those like them. I love reading these comments especially in these trying times. People have become anti-social. I go to appointments everyone's on their phones playing games. No one addresses other people to say hello or have a little friendly conversation. I'm not used to this. I don't want to know someone's life story , just a pleasant little hello and exchange some pleasantries. Maybe I'm Wrong! I hope everyone's well and staying strong! Love from New England ❤
Born in 1960, so this was basically a list of my childhood toys and TV. This put a big smile on my face. Thanks.
Same
61 here ya I still have some of these games @@allentate3760
According to today's young people, my generation didn't have much in the way of entertainment, but this video just reran the memories of my childhood and early teenage years via sugary cereal commercials, Saturday morning cartoons and many of the toys and games my brother and I played together. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable trip back to simpler times. I wouldn't trade those years for anything our current times have to offer.
... " and the lead child shall lead them "..... what do they know ? We had it best :)
I'm 58 and that feels like yesterday. That was American life during that time. It gave kids a day to let loose. Right after the cartoons we had to clean our room.
Remember the anticipation of the Fall Premiere issue of TV Guide so we could see what cartoons were coming? Now Saturdays are just the day after Friday and the day before Sunday. Friday night's were cool, too, with Happy Days, Welcome Back Kotter, Laverne & Shieley, etc. There were only 3 TV channels (besides PBS if you could get that friggin' round antenna to work) and that was on clear days. We'd go to school on Monday and everybody would talk about the same shows. Sigh. Now I have to go listen to "Old Days" by Chicago.
Good days happy days
Rick Moderie Yes, we had Saturday chores too. If we did them on Friday after school, our Saturdays were freeeeeeee to watch cartoons.til noon.
Twister. Golden grahams. Run Joe 🏃 run.
My dog show
Yep...I'm 58 too...this is one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam!
What amazes me is how many of these trigger memories that have been hiding in my brain for nearly 60 years. Don't those brain cells have better things to do? Thankfully, no.. Seriously, some of these are bringing tears to my eyes. Saturday mornings were a safe time.
i cry too cuz i miss the 70s and 80s.......
I was born in 69. What a special time the '70s & '80s were.
These foundational things have very much to do with who we are today. It's a wonder any of us are sane.
that's how brainwashing works
Dormant like a sleeper cell of useless trivia lol...
I sung along to about 97% of everything here 😜🤯😵💫😆
I was born in 64 and these are all my old shows growing up. It wasn't a good weekend without H.R. Pufnstuf. I loved that show! Such a simple and fun time. It seems like just yesterday.
Thanks Dear !!!
Where we’re you in ‘62?
July 2, 1964 here. Best childhood ever.
Born in '64 also. Do you remember "Speed Racer" and "Clutch Cargo". Noone worried about the plastic guns, either. My mom was pregnant with me when JFK was assassinated. It was a more simple, yet fun time with Sat A. M. cartoons & commercials.
@@jmcfaith24 I sure do remember. Yes. It was such a more simple and fun time.
I was born in 1964 the birth of the Beatles!!!!!! Im very thankful to still be here!!!! The. Best commercials and shows in the 70's and the 60's!!!!!!!
We had it great !!! :)
I too am grateful for the 60's,70's, and 80's. Glad I got to be part of this time!
Little kid in the 70's, teen 80's. Cool memories.
I am thankful for my grandparents who helped raise us in the 80's/90's.
I loved this time in my life. I felt safe and secure. No worries or stress. I enjoyed my bicycle, roller skating, my pets, climbing trees, and playing with matchbox cars. I was a bit of a tomboy. All these shows I watched and loved. Thanks for putting this together. 😁
So very true... thank you Patricia :)
I loved my Saturday morning cartoons.I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I miss you Mom and Dad
:)
Yeah
So true Jeff, miss my parents too as well as that huge console TV in the living room that also had speakers, a turntable and radio. Dad used to have to run down to Eckerd every now and then and replace a tube in that old dinosaur before he went all in on either a Curtis Mathis or a Sony Trinitron in 1975.
jeff, what was the kids show that you hated the most?
Jeff \m/ , ditto!
I was born in '67, and it's like taking a trip back in time. Thanks for posting this, and bringing back my childhood memories!
My pleasure... it was a labor of love... had no idea of the number of hits I'd get :)
The 70 were the best time to grow up in. I wish we had these shows back, instead of what we have now.
Ya got that right Susan !!!
Growing up in the 70's was positively magical! So blessed to have experienced that.
Grow up 90 also a blast..after that :(
Id give you a 1000 thumbs up if i could.
It didn’t take much to made us happy back then.
I'm 55...this is my childhood....stop watching cartoons about 76. Between 70 to 75, Saturday morning cartoons was my life!
Thanks so much for tuning in :)
What a wonderful time to have grown up. I'm so lucky to have experienced it in all it's glory!
A bygone era. I grew up with Saturday morning TV. Shows like Bug Bunny/Road Runner, Schoolhouse Rock, Land of the Lost, Fat Albert, and so much more. This video showed some things I haven't thought of in decades-- In the News, Shazam, etc.
And of course there were kids commercials for things like cereal (I loved Frankenberry and Boo Berry) and toys. Lite Brite was my favorite toy. I'd use one today if I could find one!!
Saturday mornings really were the best!
Yes Saturday was a great day cartoon day 😀
Who else DOES NOT remember The Chan Clan?
JOHNNY QUEST
I haven't smiled this big for this long in a long long time. Thanks for the memories!
Jonny Quest: The best cartoon of all time. I watched a lot here in Brazil, in the 70s. My childhood was wonderful. 🇧🇷
Absolutely agree space ghost and the herculoids come close though
Jonny Quest, the best. The music rocked!
Prime time like the Flintstones
Race Bannon was a hot cartoon character
Hands down the best cartoon ever. It was years ahead of its time . The artwork and graphics can not be competed with. The animation was incredible.
WOW!!! Thank you for the trip down this old lane...LOL! Yes, my heart is overwhelmed with joy!!! God Bless, Much LOVE!!!
Many thanks :)
OMG!! This really brings back the memories!! I was lucky enough to be raised in the 60's and the 70's, and there was never a better time to grow up!! Half of that stuff we either watched or received as Christmas gifts! That was the best time to grow up! We grew up on a farm so we had to get up an hour earlier on Saturday morning so we could do our chores before the shows started, and there was Saturday Movie Matinee to look forward to! Gilligans Island was on every day too!! You get 5 gold stars for this video!!
I saw games I forgot I wanted to get one day. So many intros and commercial jingles to sing along with.
Oh the days when we all had simple fun on TV, with indoor games, and playing outside.
@@rcschmidt668 Those were the good 'ol days weren't they!! Playing outside is dangerous now days!!
What an amazing and fun trip down memory lane this was...I remember 98% of this stuff! I want my childhood back !
Me too… Just without the penicillin shots 😩 (I’ll tell you I made some of those nurses work for that money…)
I just want the good parts back. I could have done with out the divorce and moving every friggin year, and the social problems that resulted from always being 'the new kid'. Too many rules and restrictions as a child too. Objectively, it wasn't that great.
if we could go back, i would just stay there with my family, friends and good times. where is HG WELLS TIME MACHINE, when you need it.
A simpler time when 3 perhaps 4 TV channels was the norm and AM 📻 radio ruled. Now look at what we have. 👀 😂
Same here. I remember a lot of theses shows. Miss my childhood too.
A blast from the past. Thank you- 70’s kid.
Thank you for watching :)
Wow the memories come flooding back!!!! So glad I grew up in the 1970s feel sorry for the kids today!!!!!!!
Me also Slick :)
I grew up in the late 50's.
Has anyone notice how fat kids are now, and the kids that grew up in the 90's? All day playing video games, and not doing any chores. We watch Saturday cartoon, but then we had to clean house, then go outside to play, and ride out bikes, so we were more physically active. We also had strict parents back then, so we had to clean, take out the trash etc. Now the kids play video games all day and talk back to their parents under a dirty pile of clothes with a half empty plate and flies hovering on the plate. I don't allow the 🐂. Slap them silly.
I wish we still had those Saturday morning cartoons. Life was so so good
A great Saturday morning for me was watching Johnny Quest while eating Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries.
I was a Vanilly Crunch Kid :)
@Randy Bingham LOL
I liked Coco Pebbles and King Vitamin.
@Lance Lanny Agreed!
Born back in 1958, and I remember all of these shows and commercials. Thanks for awakening these great memories! ❤
Many thanks my friend and I hope it brought a smile 😊😊😊
Me too. Oct 58. Michael Jackson, Prince & Madonna!! Something about that year!!! Also Elvis movies!!
Born 62, and remembered 98% of all of it and had most of the toys! Especially hot wheels! Life was so great back then! Now it's a nightmare!
62' kid myself :):):)
1962 here also…great time to be a kid
Agree. A total nightmare.
I got a Spirograph for Christmas 1969 and spent all of New Year's Eve drawing "spiro-pictures" until the ink in the pens ran out. 🙂
Another '62 kid! Dynamite Shack was a fave game. Watched nearly all of those shows, and can still sing the theme songs.
Saturday mornings were cozy and warm with the smell of French toast in the air,thanks mom,i love ya.
You just drew a wonderful picture :)
I clearly remember the smell of cigarette smoke in the air, but I'll take the french toast!!! Wonderful time to have been a kid!!!
Yes....and of course, a bowl of cereal!!🤣🤣🤣
No more Aunt Jemima any more! She's racist!
Man, I totally went back to a little girl watching the cartoons and commercials. What a retro experience. Life was good for me as a child. These cartoons were a saturday GEM! Enjoying the memories!
Thank you Dear !!!! :)
Nancy nurse dolls. GI JOE!!!
I was born in 1956 and there are only a few things here that don’t send me right back to my childhood. I remember playing outside til the street lights came on. And I loved Saturday morning cartoons!! Some of the games this showed kept me occupied with my friends for hours. And I found myself singing along to a lot of the theme songs…lol
I was born in 1954 and I too was taken back to my childhood.
My brother,sister and I and our friends played outside
almost all day.....only went inside to eat lunch and use the
restroom........we played until we were called in for dinner.
We loved Saturday morning cartoons.
I had a Casper talking doll.
Also had some of the games shown.
Did you by chance ever play an outside night game
called Spot?
Kind of like Hide n Seek, with a flashlight.
We played with our cousins and friends in the 60's.
What memories.....being a child and teenager in the 60's
Such memories!
There was no better time to be a kid than this era.
Don't I know it :):):) Thank you !
I know - everything made sense back then. Now, nothing does.
Except for disco it was great.
brenda ingram that’s a great idea for theme park.
The 80's were just as good... at least weekdays after school. Skeletor ruled his timeslot
51 here,I started to watch this but was sort of hungry, so I paused it and got myself a bowl of cereal,it wasnt Frankenberry but I still turned the volume way up and sat on the floor like I was 10 years old and watched all of this. Many Thanks!
LOLOL...That makes me have a feel good moment. Frankenberry always takes me back Brian :):):) All the best my friend !
Brian Riordan , COUNT CHOCULA, Sir!! LOL!!
Count Chocula! KOOGLE, I loved that shit!
Caught myself smiling during the whole presentation. Forgot about some of the cartoons, shows and commercials. Great fun😃♥️
Watching this Saturday mornings with my Frosty Flakes was my life!!! The best!!!!
I second the motion !!!
That was the best! It brings back many great memories of me and my brother, who has passed, eating bowls of super sweet cereal side-by-side and watching many of these Saturday morning shows. Thank you.
Sorry for the loss of your bro.
Sorry for your loss friend. I have the same memory with my sisters. Great time.
everything was loaded with sugar back then. no wonder we were bouncing off the walls as kids i use to love captain crunch, i couldnt get enough of it. with 25c you could buy a full bag of candy at the store............. magical times
It was SO great back then... I wish they would bring back all these old shows & cartoons for my grandchildren!
Some, not all for obvious reasons.
If you have me tv you can.
@@Demetri450 . . Oh give it a rest . . . Snowflake . . . Go watch BLM videos and have your race card pity party there .
Bring them back for us.
Ah yes. The 60's and 70's, Saturday morning, pajamas, siblings, bowls of cereal sitting on the floor watching cartoons; of course at a respectable volume so we don't wake our parents up from their one day to sleep in. :-D
oh my gawd! that was sooooo me! waking up at 6:30am, turning on the TV at a low volume, bowl of cereal, in my blanket, waiting for the boring agriculture show to end before Underdog started and it was on!!
Lol
You just described my childhood.
Yup. And, do you think they were really sleeping? It was before everyone was micromanaging all of their kids' lives, and then complaining that they didn't have any time to themselves, or working how to schedule "date night" and where to send the kids? Saturday morning cartoons helped many family dynamics.
Yes, volume turned down as low as we could still hear it not to wake them!
Oh my God this was so great!! I was born in 65 so I saw all of this. I loved Saturdays. You got Lancelot Link!! Then you’d watch American Bandstand & Soul Train at noon. Then the rest of Saturday afternoon was movies like “Beach Blanket Bingo”
I love that you showed some of the lesser known ,but just as good shows from that time. Back when Hanna /Barbara were the Kings of Saturday Morning TV
Many thanks !!! :)
Yes they were, but now you catch most of that, on cartoon network.
@@claytonbates4216
They have some, but their other station 'Boomerang' is the one that plays all the old classics.
During the 1970s Hanna and Barbara entertained and captivated me a heck of a lot more than Disney ever did.
Sid and Marty Krofft were not far behind.
WOW!!
I haven't smiled this big for such a long time in ages!
THANKS!!!
And many thanks to you my friend :)
This is great. Thank you for the memories. I'm 54 and I remember a lot of these actually most of them 😃.
I was born in 1962 and remember every cartoon and commercial in this video, had a lot of the toys featured as well, you made me remember a lot that I had forgot about, thank you for the memories, the 60’s and 70’s were the best , kids today are missing out , thank you!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hi Marianne ! I hope the video brought you a smile... all the best :)
Remember
- playing tag
- hide and go seek
- riding a bike without a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads
- sitting in the back of a pickup truck on the highway
basically, just having fun being a kid.
Like my mom before she die "it amazing every last on you 5 kids survive... No car seat, like you said no.bike helmet or knee and elbow pads. Staying out in the neighborhood till after dark... Mom never worry cause people knew each other. Really a sad world we live in now
Toni Wilson that’s right , and if you were caught by another adult acting a fool, mom knew about it before you got home.
I got caught swearing and called a little black girl the
n/word. When I got home, my ass found the wrong side of a 6 inches by 18 inches piece of hard oak. My daddy called it “The Educator”. It taught me some very valuable lessons back in 1973. I wasn’t “Educated” very often, probably 5 or 6 times in my childhood. I took a different approach to my kids. I took things away. The Gameboy or PlayStation was replaced by a book to read. Then they had to tell me what the book was about.
Riding my bike down hill with no hands.
Dick Morhead my friend broke the chain on his Huffy, going downhill about 35mph. We were hauling ass racing each other when I heard his 10 year old, high pitch scream (like a girl😳). He broke his wrist and ankle when he crash landed at the bottom. The rest of the summer in casts. We laugh about it today. Our kids look at us like we’re nuts, laughing at broken bones, scrapes, road rash, etc.
Budd Wolf 1966
“The Educator”!!😳😳😳
That’s messed up. Imagine doing that today. The neighborhood narc would tell every police agency, CPS, the school (even if its summer vacation), ACLU.....you name it. From what you say, I’m sure your dad didn’t come home in a pissy mood or (god forbid) drunk and beat you with it.
The Friday nights when my Mom would make a banana cake for dessert were the best, because Saturday morning, armed with my blanket and a pillow I would hit the floor before the sun came up and start my cartoon watching, along with a chevy-sized hunk of Mom's cake. Still my strongest childhood memory. I had the entire morning planned, a show on this channel, change channels for the next show, etc. etc. By the time I got to American Bandstand or the Young People's Concerts on CBS I knew it was time to go outside and get my bike.
That sounds familiar ... thanks for watching :)
The humor and comedy in those old Bugs Bunny cartoons was magic, kind of sad that's all gone
I so agree :(
Yes so sad………!! And there ‘ll never come back. It was unique, they should have send some in “Voyager “in space , to show other form of life how life was cool on Earth in theses years of humanity 😅🤗
I'm still trying to find what was so bad that cancel culture thought it had to be deleted from public television?
Some of the shows on Rocky and Bullwinkle went over kid's heads.
Thanks so much for this wonderful time travel back to my Saturday morning childhood bliss! The day always started at 6:00 am and lasted until noon with a HUGE bowl of Cap'n Crunch!
Oh My Vanilly Crunch !!! :)
I loved watching American Bandstand on Saturday mornings.
As did I :) Thank you - JB
@@Johnnyboy792 After all of the cartoons and then doing those Saturday chores right? LOLOL I'm with ya!!!!!!! Great times! Thanks for posting!!!!!

Sooooouuuullll Train too! I would one for pop stars the other for R&B and dance moves!!
I just finished watching this and a flood of great memories came over me. I remember every single one of them. It might have been corny but it was also fun!
I was born in 1959 and this is bringing back memories long forgotten!😊
1960 here friend, I sure can relate. What great memories!
You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back, just say my name & I'll b there😢. M.J.

Thanks Troy !!! :)
I wish I could go back to this time... I never realized how wonderful it was. And my Parents made this all happen.
I love and miss them! Maybe one day, we all get to go back to a glorious time in our life....🥴 ✝
I know how you feel. Although I love my son, niece & nephews along with my surviving brothers I often feel envious that my mom will see all our love ones in a few years. Don’t get me wrong, she’s fine but in her 80’s. I feel like she’s waited so long to see my brother & sister, my dad & her parents. She’s had a lot of loss but is the strongest person I know 💋
yes after Armageddon, when Jehovah, s government takes control and everyone who worships god will live in a paradise for ever
@@samanthab1923 Being blessed with old age is almost a curse. Something I think about a lot of all the people I've lost and won't see again until I cross into the next life.
@@IAMTheNiteOwl Try not to dwell. As long as you’re healthy & have some loved ones around make the best of it. They will wait on us 🙏🏻
Born in 67. This collection is amazing! It brings back memories of TV fun I barely remember but loved! TV and indoors was comfort, which is strange, because all I remember is spending 90% of my time outside riding all over the neighborhoods on my Schwinn bike! Thanks!
Many thanks :)
Times when everything was simpler and times were easier... when a kid could be just that, a kid...
Could not agree more.
Yeah Saturdays were for us👍
I hear ya, no doubt
case? My 36 yr old adult Kiddo said to me" I was completely a kid.... I didnt worry or think about anything"...( she felt she had a very protected and tranquil childhood"...
Its 2021: and she travels foe her job, she isn't planning on children. Life is fascinating when one gets to be a child. I wasn't over protective, but I'm sure she tbot I was.
I have a 14 year old and two adult kids in their 30’s, we did our best to protect our youngest from all the garbage of the 2000’s, but it’s scary now a days for kids, it seems that they have to grow up so fast. I tell my 14 year old, enjoy being a kid cuz it doesn’t last forever. Enjoy being young.
Anyone else ever race downstairs to the TV so early that the TV stations hadn’t “woke up” yet? First, the video color bars, then the Star-Spangled Banner, then Looney Tunes...
Yup (minus the Star Spangled Banner: that would've been odd to see in Canada...) and the first shows to come on on my channels were the old Filmation Hercules or Wizard of Oz cartoon shorts; Looney Tunes was towards the end of the morning).
Yes, I used to get up early to catch the cartoons so I wouldn't miss a single one! I used to get around 5:30 or 6 :00 am (I forget which time) to watch "Hercules". I believe Johnny Nash sang the theme song to it. It came on KCOP channel 13 in LA over the antenna.
We lived in northern SD county but our antenna got good to great reception. We usually got 12 of the 13 channels on our TV dial! We were able to watch all the LA and San Diego channels plus 2 Mexican stations. Channels: 2 KCBS, 4 KNBC, 5 KTLA, 6 XETV Mex., 7 KABC, 8 KFMB, 9 KHJ , 10 KOGO, 11 KTTV, 12 TJ, Mex., Station, 13 KCOP. That was BC (Before Cable) when, you know TV reception was free!
Breakfast was a bowl of fruity pebbles so I can get it during commercials. Lol... Unless I was at my Grandma's, then she'd make eggs, grits, broiled buttered toast, sausage/bacon, with Nesslie Quick chocolate milk.
Scottish McMillan, Yes. I did! EVERY Saturday morning!!! Sundays, too. Then, later, when my Parents got up, while Mama was making breakfast for my Daddy (my Big Sister and I ate earlier), I’d clamber up, onto my Daddy’s lap where he was reading the Sunday paper. Y’all can probably guess what happened next. I’d kind of cutely insist that Daddy and I “read’ the funny pages together. He never refused me. Then, we’d all get ready for Sunday School. I was, like 4, probably? Happy Holidays, everyone!!!
J Chapman, Hey 👋! I’m jealous! You got to grow up in CA! All those channels! I had to grow up in MS, even though I was born in LA, CA. We had, maybe 3 channels VHF and 1 UHF channel. I think channel 13 was our UHF choice. But, you’ve got a helluva memory, there, J! Wow!! This video brought a smile to my face,...remembering, ya know? Happy Holidays, man!!!
All of those games were freaking awesome! And kids actually went outside after cartoons and used their imaginations.
Headie Doll ...I was just thinking that. Up early Saturday morning for cartoons. The last show was around noon. It was The Monkeys for me. Then outside to do chores and play!
Infinite Wisdom Same here, I grew up in rural Louisiana, always did chores till I graduated, I never once complained, imagine kids today if they had chores as you and I did?
Headie Doll Amen
I read.
Spameggssausage Wait...... you read what?? You never finished your statement..
Wow you literally covered my entire childhood, from the cereals, breakfast, TV shows, cartoons, toys, games, everything! This was great, thank you for the memories, wish I could turn back the hands of time! 😊
Did that bring back great memories for me and especially the commercials. I was born in 1963 and remember I couldn't wait to watch my favorite shows like HR Pufnstuf, Sigmond and the Sea monster, and Land of the Lost. Thank you so much!
Some of those I didn't remember but most of them I did, I was born in 63 too. Good memories growing up, I miss those days.
I was born in 68.
Thanks for the good memories..
I was never bored as a child...
Thank you Chelsea !!!
The fact that there are no more Saturday morning cartoons speaks volumes to the loss of innocence in America
No truer words were spoken Sly ... Thank you - JB
@Rick Coram Me2!
I'm 54 years old and I stopped watching Saturday mornings cartoons after 6th grade...just about the time I stopped trick or treating on Halloween but I fondly remember those Saturday mornings. I never noticed that they have stopped showing Saturday morning cartoons!....that's a tragedy for young people. ...of course nowadays you have "cartoon netwook" and "nikolodeon" which play cartoons 24/7 so maybe that explains the demise of Saturday morning cartoons on the Big Three Networks.
I was born in 65.. I remember almost all of these. Groovie goolies was fun. Thanks for doing what you do.
@Sylvester Jennings...You said it so perfectly.....and the loss of simplicity of the American life, the family dynamics of the Americans, the quality time. Ugh.
I was born in 1960 and I remember the Beatles cartoon and the Monkees. But I had forgotten about the Jackson 5, the Hudson Brothers and the Osmond Brothers. Wow! You brought back so many great memories for me. What a great time it was for us to be a kid! Especially the games for we were never board. My favorites were Ker Plunk, Battleship, Spill The Beans, Trouble and more. Does anyone remember Lincoln Logs and the Sorry game? I miss those days and wish they'd bring back the old cartoons. Kids today would enjoy them. I am so grateful to have experienced all that!
We were the lucky generation for sure.. thank you :)
@@Johnnyboy792
Your so welcome. 🙂
Yes, I remember Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys. I also remember flying rubber band powered wooden model airplanes. Skeeters and Sleek Streeks, those things really flew very well.
@@michaelfleming40
Oh yeah I remember the Flying rubber band airplanes. It was a blast seeing them soar through the air. But the Skeeters and Sleek Streeks... are you pulling my leg? Because I don't remember those.
Loved the Hudson brothers!
This is what life was all about. Real things to do other than playing video games and having our nose buried in our phones, not speaking to one another. Kids today should watch this and see what it was like back in the days.
I so agree my friend :)
I second that there was a time when kids played on a baseball field or football field basketball court and when you got sent to your room there was no TV there was no internet there were no video games there were no computers a bat a baseball and lucky if you had a transistor radio otherwise it was you if you had a brother bunk beds and that was it
I was born in '63 and remember just about all of these. Evidently I used to watch a LOT of television. Thank you for your great efforts with this!
62' Baby here too MG. Our memories are the same. I hope it brought you a warm smile. :) - JB
I'm 62 I can't believe I watched ALL of those programs plus "Creature Features and "Chiller Theater"
Well... if you look on my list... I do have WPIX & WNEW videos too Loving :)
...I remember scared to death watching them on a Saturday afternoon ... don't seem so scary today tho ...
@@willgaukler8979 There's a couple that still do it.... IT THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE.... Whoa !
That was an unexpected trip down memory lane !! Loved it !
Thanks for watching :)
Wow! Time flies when you're having fun! Thanks for the great memories. I'll be 56 in May, 2022. Still a kid at heart!
Thank you Kimberly !!! :)
Those were great times, God bless you, Ms. M. I'll be 60, in May, of 2022, everyone who was a kid in that era, 60's, 70's. It was special, for all of us, now who have kids, they wouldn't understand that our era, was special, it not like now.
@@claytonbates4216 Thanks Clayton !!!
Born in 63, and turning 60 next year and seeing these commercials and cartoons brings back so many good memories of my childhood.
Some of these jingles as they start playing, even though I haven’t heard them in 50 years, they come right back to me.
I remember waking up at 6am to watch Davey and galiath, mr magoo just to mention a few to start off the morning. Memories of my grandmother who lived with would make me my breakfast, soft boiled egg. Sometimes French toast or cereal… and I’d sit all morning and watch all of these shows until noon right after the bugs bunny road runner hour then I’d go out and play with my friends.
Still I hum the jingles of school house rock.
We should all plan a Saturday morning reunion get together lol.
God I miss our childhood. Those were the days!!
Thanks for watching Michael :)
me 63 too
Oh my goodness what a wonderful time to be a kid! Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane!
Many thanks Natalie :):):)
Makes me smile with a tear in my eye. I was spoiled rotten. I remember owning over half the toys referenced in this video.
Me too Gary ! The best of times :)
i would take my dads saw , hammer and nails and made my own toys. he was at work and did not know i had his tools. remember the 40 hour work week and weekends off. we were a poor family and i built most of the things i needed. i really miss those days.
'65 here. Going through really rough times in this new world order of things and this is EXACTLY what I needed. To be reminded of what I gratefully got to live and experience as a kid growing up in the 60s/70s: the sights, sounds, smells, free-spirited and playful adventure outdoors - ALL DAY - and all over, wood panelling, loud prints, macrame, and the COOLEST CARS EVER!! ... (mind you, in 20-30yrs from now, kids born in the 90s are going to be saying the exact same thing about their own era - well, except for the unsupervised and adventurous playtime outdoors) ... every sense came rushing back to me. Seriously the best time to grow up! Thanks for this : ). I wish all post 70s kids could have experienced the things we had growing-up.
Many thanks Share !!!
I’m crying too. Miss my family. All of them are gone and it’s just me. And life has not been kind.
Makes me cry too. Those times are such a stark contrast to the way the world is now. Makes me very happy, and very sad to remember the old days.
Anyone here remember watching a children's show called Big blue marble? It came early Saturday morning just before all the cartoons.
And Make a Wish....hosted by Tom Chapin (Harry Chapin's brother) and a NBC news (CBS news?) production.
Yes.
Yes, I remember, but really wasn't a big fan.
I was born in 1960 and I had all this from 1966 thru grade school and early high school. Plus the RUDOLPH Xmas specials and Charlie Brown specials . Perfect timing . And Batman too
And Mario, remember the Christmas concerts we used to host for our parents in those days? We would dress up in campy Christmas costumes and sing carols for our parents. Schools weren't afraid of celebrating Christmas back then. Now it violates the separation of Church and State.
I remember when the Grinch cartoon premiered-- December 18, 1966. I was so looking forward to it. But I got really sick singing in my church's Christmas program earlier in the day and was sent straight to bed once we got home. The TV room was next to my bedroom, and I could hear the Grinch on the TV but couldn't watch it :(
I was born in 64 and my brother 68. Saturdays were the best. Kids today just don't know what they missed.
These are some of the real oldies. I barely remember some of them.
It’s amazing how we were entertained by such simplicity back then. Now it’s all about being addicted to our phones.....
So true. Thanks for watching :)
And your Grandpa probably accused you of being addicted to the TV
I'm reliving these memories on my precious phone.
@@viperslateyep
Loved it!!! I'm 56 yrs old, this brought me soo much memories and a very warm heart! Thanks for posting!!!!
Many thanks ! I'm 56 myself so our memories are exactly the same :)
Same here. 56 too and the memories are from the best time of my life (well, maybe 2nd to discovering girls..lol)
What I would do to go back in time and watch those shows on my black and white tv.
Some of these TV SHOWS were so much fun watching as a child growing up in Australia. A lot of it was OUT THERE for back then. Yet not, for the young child has a wonderful & wide imagination. Thanks for this, it was fun strolling down memory lane.
Many thanks my friend :)
