@tvcrazyman As I mentioned in another comment, I watched The Partridge Family 2200 AD and the "Jeannie" Saturday morning cartoon as part of a syndicated package called Fred Flintstone and Friends in the late 1970's.

(That meant that I missed the second season of Laverne and Shirley in the Army.) I only watched part of an episode of the ALF Saturday morning cartoon. Having ALF back on his home planet with others just like him kind of messed up the "fish out of water" concept of the original show. (Except of course for eating cats.) I watched some of the 1990's Addams Family cartoon, which I'm sure was inspired by the success of the two theatrical movies from the early 1990's. The main appeal was John Astin reprising his role of Gomez. ("I'm playing Gomez exactly as I played him as I played him in 1964.") And I also watched Lassie's Rescue Rangers, My Favorite Martians and The New Adventures of Gilligan as part of the syndicated package The Groovie Goolies and Friends in the late 1970's. This package also included The Secret Lives of Waldo Kitty (retitled The New Adventures of Waldo Kitty) and the animated segments (M*U*S*H/Fraidy Cat/Wacky and Packy) from Uncle Croc's Block. Plus there were new bumpers in which the Groovie Goolies interacted with characters from the other shows, like Gilligan taking a bath in Hagatha's cauldron. (Hagatha zapped Gilligan back to the island. He landed in Ginger's arms.)
I just got a blu-ray with the groovie goolies. I hope it has the bumpers like that somewhere on there. One of these days I'll have every show I ever watched and ones I missed from Saturday mornings.@@bobbybickert
Yeah, Jeannie that was the one that had Joe Besser from the Three Stooges. I think I missed watching the Alf cartoon when it first came on, but I never missed watching the regular series back then.
You need to do a little more homework. The Lone Ranger started as a radio show. And William Conrad did hundreds of radio plays before there was such a thing as tv, so he actually did more work with the microphone than with the camera.
@@tvcrazyman Star Trek - The Animated Series was so popular it had lunch box, comic book, graphic novel, and even clothing & Household item merchandise! Sometimes TV Cartoons became Educational with Schoolhouse Rock, etc!
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures (Saw it before the 1st movie years later, and before the 2nd film. The cartoon was Much better scripted than the movie sequels. Keanu & Alex did okay, with Face The Music a being decent ending) , The A-Team & Mr. T cartoons were great fun!
Technically Mister T's cartoon wasn't related to his show the A-team, but that's a good one for a video some day. It might fit in the same category as the Gary Coleman cartoon and the Ali cartoon that came out in the 70's. I know I did miss a few that would have fit in this category.

Someone once asked why would they make cartoons of old TV shows. People have no clue how popular those shows were in syndication back in the day.. They were on all the time.. Gilligan and Brady Bunch were as popular as the current network programs…and the cartoons had a built-in audience.
I never knew half of these shows existed because I knew Scooby Doo and the Super Friends where like the kings of 70’s cartoon, but what about the real ghostbusters?
@@kevinmiller6380 That was always the funny thing since Lou didn't voice the Hulk on the TV series. That was Ted Cassidy, and then later Charles Napier. But Lou's done the voice of the Hulk ever since.
There was also an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, with The Addams Family in animated form, and the original cast members voicing their respective characters.
Makes me wonder what an animated version of Get Smart would have been like? Only problem is, Edward Platt died by suicide in 1974, so producers would have had to scramble to find someone to supply the voice of The Chief.
I'm not sure whether DePatie Freleng's The Oddball Couple would count. It has Spiffy the cat (voiced by the great Frank Nelson) and Fleabag the dog (voiced by ventriloquist Paul Winchell) living together. One side of their car is pristine, the other side is a junkpile. Their house is the same way. The reason I bring this up is because I recently found out that The Oddball Couple is owned by Paramount, who produced The Odd Couple (the original movie and the TV series). So maybe this counts as an "official" adaptation of The Odd Couple, even though it's talking animals instead of people. Another Depatie-Freleng Saturday morning cartoon from the 1970's was Baggy Pants and the Nitwits. Tampa's NBC station didn't carry it, so I only got to watch a single episode while visiting grandparents who lived near Orlando. Baggy Pants was a cat who dressed and acted like Charlie Chaplin, so that segment wouldn't count. But The Nitwits segment was based on Arte Johnson's "dirty old man" character and Ruth Buzzi's "spinster" character from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Arte Johnson and Ruth Buzzi reprised their roles. (Arte Johnson had already done the voice of Misterjaw for DePatie-Freleng.) But the cartoon made them superheroes, and also made them husband and wife! I didn't understand the episode I watched as a child. In recent years DePatie-Freleng historian Charles Brubaker got hold of a 16mm print of an episode and posted it online. I STILL didn't understand it as an adult.
I just vaguely remember the odd couple cartoon. I must have been to young to remember it from when it came on originally. Misterjaw I definitely remember.
@@tvcrazyman Misterjaw was part of the Pink Panther Laugh and a Half Hour and a Half Show on NBC. It was mostly old theatrical shorts with the Pink Panther, the Inspector, the Ant and the Aardvark, and the Tijuana Toads. (Except the Tijuana Toads were renamed the Texas Toads, their names were changed from Toro and Pancho to Fatso and Banjo, and their voices were redubbed. I guess kids were supposed to think that their sombreros were cowboy hats.) But the Misterjaw shorts were brand new. (Depatie-Freleng also did this with Crazylegs Crane, the long-legged yellow bird who first appeared in the Tijuana Toads shorts, after the Pink Panther moved from NBC to ABC.) I remember a bumper with both characters Arte Johnson voiced for DePatie-Freleng. His "dirty old man" character is sitting on a park bench by a body of water. Misterjaw pops up out of the water: "Gotcha!". No response. Misterjaw says "I must be losing my touch." and sinks back into the water. After Misterjaw is gone, the "dirty old man" character says "Ohhhhhh, a shark!" and falls off the bench.
Yeah, I remember that old man. I remember watching that with the Pink Panther. I think I have most of those Pink Panther related cartoons on DVD. My favorites are Pink Panther, Misterjaw, the Inspector, and the Ant and the Aardvark. Funny stuff!@@bobbybickert
