you know if one of these shows got slated for later than 11 am it would get lolled because mom Time to go out and play the living room is for adults and family visiting.
I was actually a little kid in the 1970s, i remember watching Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Funky Phantom, Roman Holiday, Josie and the Pussycats, Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space, the Addams Family, Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan.
@alfredmorency8296 No, most of us end up doing something else, but expected to. We had a joke about that before graduation, lol. "There are only 2 jobs in Marine Biology...the guy that feeds the fish at MarineLand has one, and Jacque Cousteau has the other."
@@jamescromer550I knew several people with fine credentials in marine biology who couldn't get a steady job in that field. There are far more qualified people than there are opportunities. I took several courses in aquatic biology in high school but knew I would be unlikely to find a place in that field unless I had some advantage. So I applied for intern positions at every oceanographic institution I could think of, but the best result was the first alternate at Woods Hole. Having failed to get a hook I gave up on a career in marine biology. Five years later I found out that a woman I was friends with had gotten an internship at Woods Hole that year, Dawn had no knowledge or interest in the subject but was gorgeous, smart, and among the most personable people I’ve ever met. At the time I could have wrung her neck but it didn’t take long to realize that even if I had gotten the internship I would probably never have had a real opportunity in that field but I might have wasted the time and money trying.
Ah yes the fuzzy feels of days long gone. I saw most of em unless they were on same time as the Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Hour. Thank you Chuck Jones and Team.
I am a paranormal investigator, have been since 1972. I must say that my understanding of ghosts and paranormal activity was largely shaped in childhood by cartoons and The Three Stooges.
I recently learned that Jodie Foster voiced one of the kids in "Chan Clan." I watched one ep online & couldn't detect her voice, but perhaps she wasn't in that one. For the Addams family cartoon, I loved it, as there'd been an AF ep on one of the Scooby-Doo movies (an hr long). This cartoon kinda scarred me as a kid, b/c when the family opens some kind of baking business, the eggs are cracked, the yoke pours into the batter, then the eggshells themselves are dropped into the batter, implying to me as a kid that that somehow made the cake/whatever they made better. Mom made lots o' baked goods then & was irritated when I tried doing the same thing (!), but was standing next to me before any damage could be done. I think of that sequence every time I crack eggs into a recipe! Thank you! :-)
I'm 57 & melted when you mentioned "Bailey's Comets," which I positively lived for in 1st grade! I have home movies where I'm emulating the Jeckle Hydes! I always wanted to emulate how the Broomer Girls maneuvered on their brooms (esp'ly the one standing on it). I was well into high school trying to emulate how folks in the cartoon (& in Josie/Pussycats) looked around corners in a stacked fashion; this was finally done w/real-life actors in Porky's Revenge in '85, & I realized, as it seemed oddly done, that it was impossible for real ppl to do this. How images impress on kids! I finally got a DVD online from some guy who'd recorded some Bailey's Comets & I saw how badly it was drawn. It was the precursor to the hit The Amazing Race, right?, but never gets cited for that! BOOO HOOO! Thank you! :-)
The Adams family premiered in the early 70s with the Scooby doo movies episode that still yet to be released. Most of the original cast of the 60s series voiced the characters.
There was another show that was missed, The Partridge Family 2200 AD. It starred some of the originals actors from the TV show, The Partridge Family. It was basically on the same premise of The Flintstones, as it was a period time piece, set in the future. They even had a bus as a flying saucer that was painted in multicolours like the show had with their bus. I can't be the only one that remembers this show. When ABC cancelled the live show, which could've ran for another season. Hanna and Barbera came up with this idea for a show. Unfortunately this didn't work out for them. So the redid the show under the title of The Jetsons, which was more close in line with The Flintstones.
If anyone wants to relive these Saturday morning shows, most of them received comic book adaptations published by Gold Key/Whitman. In fact, some of the comics outlived the show (such as Funky Phantom).
Out of the shows mentioned in this video, I think only Funky Phantom and the Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan got their own comics titles. The Roman Holidays appeared in one issue of an anthology title that kept rotating. Years later, when some of these obscure shows were rerun on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and Hanna-Barbera Studios, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and DC Comics were all owned by Warner Communications, DC started publishing comics featuring Scooby-Doo and there was a special anniversary issue where characters from similar Hanna-Barbera shows cameo to help Mystery Inc. when they are framed for crimes, and Funky Phantom and I think Goober and the Ghost Chasers were two of them. Jabberjaws and the Neptunes were there too, as was Speed Buggy, but I don't think they included Butch Cassidy. When Cartoon Network produced some new Scooby-Doo shows, they would put random obscure characters from other shows in the backgrounds, and several Chan family kids were there. They also did a show where Scooby was having a nightmare when the gang attended a teenaged crime solvers award ceremony, and Funky Phantom, Speed Buggy, and Jabberjaws and the Neptunes were there again, but this time, all the teens were captured and it was up to Scooby, Muddsy, Speed Buggy, and Jabberjaws to rescue their friends. So a few of these classic characters were seen again.
A pity The Roman Holidays never got a revival like The Jetsons did. Imagine the technology of the Roman Era mimicking our modern one like they did with The Jetsons.
@@tsitracommunications2884 True, but The Flintstones were retreaded many times, the last time was their short-lived series, Flintstone Kids in the 90's.
Because even cheap animation was very expensive, most animated series only lasted a season, then they would be replayed and repeated for years to come. Sequel shows, spinoffs and revivals were very, very rare. THE ADDAMS FAMILY had licensing limits, though that version appeared on THE NEW SCOOBY DOO MOVIES series and about a dozen hit TV shows or so had animated revivals (HAPPY DAYS, PARTRIDGE FAMILY, STAR TREK, BRADY BUNCH, etc.) but THE ARCHIVES, SCOOBY DOO and SUPER FRIENDS were among the rare shows where the characters kept coming back in new seasons.
Arnie Barkley may have had some of the traits of Archie Bunker, but he was more like Ralph Kramden on the HONEYMOONERS. Both characters drove a bus for a living. But Ralph and Alice Kramden unlike the Barkleys didn't have kids and they didn't live in the suburbs.
I was 12 in 1972, I found many of these shows cringe inducing, the only one that I watched was Sealab 2020, in fact I still have copies of the show's episodes saved on a hard drive that I pull up and watch every now and then.
There were many other 1-season cartoons, however, which might be hard to find. I distinctly remember "Clue Club," a Scooby-Doo knockoff, which aired when I was in 4th grade, but is hard to find clips of it or even entire episodes. Too bad, but perhaps for the best?? Thank you again for the great memories! :-)
I usually took a pass on most of these because they just weren't very good! Haha! There was a PSA about preventing forest fires that the animated Addams Family did about putting out your campfire so it would be "dead out!"
Does anyone remember a movie around 1975 where a young boy enters a cartoonland where the bulk of the movie was before coming back to reality at the end? I've been trying to find this for years.
Possibly The Phantom Tollbooth: The Phantom Tollbooth (1970) is a live-action/animated movie about a young boy who enters a cartoon world after driving his toy car through a mysterious tollbooth in his room.
I don't remember much about them all but I do recall these being on : Josie and the Pussycats 1970-71 CBS 16 episodes. Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space 1972-73 CBS 16 episodes.
I was actually trying to remember the names of some of these a while back. A friend and I were trying to remember all of the Scooby-Doo knockoffs. I remembered clue club and Funky Phantom,but not the names of the others other then they existed.
Here's one you can try to find, going back 50 + - years, there was a BW Mickey Mouse cartoon where, Mickey was being chased through a mansion by a big overweight momma mouse. Throughout the chase, the two came face to face when momma mouse lifts her dress, and asked Mickey if he wanted some cheesecake. Then the chase continued. I never saw it again.
I never saw any of these cartoons. MeTV Toons showed the Funky Phantom, The Addams Family cartoon i never saw that but no doubt remember the advertising of the cartoon it to was on abc. Unfortunately i never got to see it. Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan I wasn't into to it never Watched it.
A lot of these I don’t remember. I would imagine ABC had something better on. Back then we only had about 6 channels and no VCRs so if you watched one show you missed everything else.
These cartoons all seem to follow the exactly same formats. Push the same metal buttons that shows like "all in the family or Jefferson's, Archey bunkers place " pushed.
Because I was a recluse growing up, I remember all but one of these cartoons, which is pretty sad. Many of these were relegated to Sunday broadcasting, where Saturday morning cartoons would go to languish and die.
You forgot to mention what else made Goober and the Ghost Chasers different from Scooby-Doo; 1. Their dog, Goober could turn invisible, but he couldn't always control when he turned the power on and off, and he was easily scared and didn't really use his powers intelligently. The other interesting but weird part was the four youngest kids in the Partridge Family kept guest-starring. Laurie, Danny, Chris and Tracy Partridge would be playing a gig (apparently without mom Shirley and brother Keith), they'd encounter a ghost and contact the gang at Ghost Chasers magazine. Oddly enough, whenever musical celebrities guest-starred on the Scooby-Doo Movies (which premiered the year before Goober), the gang would usually play their music in the background during a chase scene, but no Partridge Family songs were heard in their Goober guest-shots. It was clear they were trying to use Goober's show as a vehicle for a backdoor pilot for a cartoon version of the Partridge Family, but they either couldn't afford or just couldn't get Shirley Jones and David Cassidy to agree to it. A year later, the Partridge Family did get their own cartoon, but not at all like the versions of the characters seen with Goober. Hanna-Barbera had originally tried to spin a grown-up Judy Jetson and teen Elroy Jetson into their own show like they had done with Teenage Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, but the network told them to do it with the Partridge Family instead. So they renamed it Partridge Family 2200 AD and put the Partridges into a future Jetsons-esque world. They had to get new voice actors for Shirley, Keith, Laurie, and Reuben Kinkaid, they added a robot dog for Danny, and 2 goofy alien friends that were close to Keith and Laurie's ages.
Most of these shows seem familiar to me. I may have watched them at times. As they were my brothers favorites. No offense, but they all seem like. Their copycats of the Scooby Doo show. Whether their ghost hunting or singing. 🫣 🥱 😴
Regarding Butch Cassidy and Goober and the Ghost Chasers, being similar to Scooby Doo, Where Are You?, I’m paraphrasing Walt Disney, the person and not the company, *You can’t top pigs with pigs*. I didn’t know about most of them.
I remember watching the Barkleys, and I would have sworn it was just an animated version of All in the Family. But based upon your description, maybe it was just "inspired" by All in the Family, and maybe they were threatened with legal action if they continued the show.
Bailey's Comets was just the Wacky Races on roller skates. But there was a twist; unlike Wacky Races where there was just one bad guy team, Dick Dastardly and Muttley while the rest of the racers were good guys, it was vice versa on Bailey Comets where the titular characters were the only good guys; the rest of the roller derby teams were bad. It never had the memorable reputation of Wacky Races however.
Were the other teams really bad, though? Rivals, yes. Did they cheat, or do evil things? I don't recall that. Even the Jeckyl-Hydes were good most of the time. Been a long time since I saw it, though.
@@petemorris8499 Well I haven't seen BAILEY'S COMETS for about 50 years. But the other roller derby teams cheated on each other. Bailey's Comets seemed to be the only team who believed in good sportsmanship. They never cheated or played dirty tricks on the roller teams. Do you remember WACKY RACES?
@@67nairb I remember WR. The thing I recall is DD didn't even need to cheat. He usually raced far ahead of the other racers, then stopped to set traps for them. If he had just driven, he'd have won every race by a mile.
I was born in 1961, I watche Kimba the white lion, The Road Runner, The Flint Stones and Tom and Jerry. Much better than these and they were classic. I almost forgot, Prince Planet and Gigantor. 👍🏻
All of these shows except one failed ... because they looked like something we already had. As a kid in the 70's I can tell you we were not easily fooled and if it looked like you were "borrowing" something we would just as soon go watch the original.
I had watched cartoons in the early 70s if it wasn't preempted by the Watergate hearing. But the older I got, the more I was seeing Hanna Barbera going down the toilet. They had Added a horrible laugh track, and everything seemed to center around solving a mystery. It got so bad that they had a great white shark named Jabber jaw that totally ripped off Curly Howard of the Three Stooges. Then there was Cave Man. So badly drawn, I gave up on cartoons. By then I was a teenager and wanted to be outside with my friends.
What's the weird animation between scenes of the series? All these shows had kids or adults solving crimes, that's it! The 60's shows were more fascinating. What happened to the last 90 seconds of this video?
I remember Devlin in passing, and Roman Holidays Not a fan of the Charlie Chan series, but it was popular and stood out. I wonder why? Goober was a knock off of Scooby Doo and everyone knew it, but it did get some recognition. I was all in on Funky Phantom, the problem with that show was it had a cool premise but was horribly unfunny. The writing was terrible, and the supporting characters were bland. The rest were too early for my recollection. Thanks for sharing these crappy cartoons.
i remember and watched them all. I recall back in the 70's how a lot of those cartoons always had a rock group and a goofy dog.
you know if one of these shows got slated for later than 11 am it would get lolled because mom Time to go out and play the living room is for adults and family visiting.
Jonathon Muddlemore sounded just like Snagglepuss, "a pink mountain lion even." His voice was done by none other than Daws Butler.
I was actually a little kid in the 1970s, i remember watching Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Funky Phantom, Roman Holiday, Josie and the Pussycats, Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space, the Addams Family, Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan.
I remember Sea Lab 2020! I grew up and got a degree in Marine Biology because of that cartoon.
Were you ever able to get a job in Marine Biology, it's a tough field to get a break in.
@alfredmorency8296 No, most of us end up doing something else, but expected to. We had a joke about that before graduation, lol. "There are only 2 jobs in Marine Biology...the guy that feeds the fish at MarineLand has one, and Jacque Cousteau has the other."

I just remember the Adult Swim remake in 2024. I did the research at the time because the 70's are interesting to me.
Each of these cartoons had such enjoyable stories and I feel these cartoons are better than current ones today.
Most, if not all, Saturday morning cartoons on the three major networks in the 60's and 70's. Only lasted one season.
Guess by the time a lot of these came out i wasnt watching cartoons anymore. The last one was the only one that rang a bell.
I remember them all. You didn't miss much. A lot of Scooby-Doo Doo rehashed.
Addams Family was decent though
Ah yes the fuzzy feels of days long gone. I saw most of em unless they were on same time as the Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Hour. Thank you Chuck Jones and Team.
Looney Tunes is my favorite cartoon.
You forgot about Clue Club, Jabberjaw, Valley Of The Dinosaurs and Wait Til Your Father Gets Home.
Wait til your father.... was primetime 😉
@@mikefagan6840 it's a cartoon version of ALL IN THE FAMILY with a little of SIMPSONS.

Bailey's Comets.

Not Hanna -Barbera's best, I'm afraid

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Who else remembers?

I loved the Hot Wheels cartoon with Jack Wheeler and the Jackrabbit Special .
Born '65. I'd forgotten about a few but they're all pretty much the same genre. We ate our super sugar cereal and watched. Loved it all.
I liked the Roman Holidays, it was a cute show. I also loved Mission:Magic!

Were the other teams really bad, though? Rivals, yes. Did they cheat, or do evil things? I don't recall that. Even the Jeckyl-Hydes were good most of the time. Been a long time since I saw it, though.
@@petemorris8499 Well I haven't seen BAILEY'S COMETS for about 50 years. But the other roller derby teams cheated on each other. Bailey's Comets seemed to be the only team who believed in good sportsmanship. They never cheated or played dirty tricks on the roller teams. Do you remember WACKY RACES?
@@67nairb I remember WR. The thing I recall is DD didn't even need to cheat. He usually raced far ahead of the other racers, then stopped to set traps for them. If he had just driven, he'd have won every race by a mile.
@@petemorris8499 True, but if he didn't cheat WR wouldn't be so entertaining.
I remember having a huge crush on Sandy Devlin. I was 7. ❤
I guess dune buggy companies were trying to promote on these cartoons. So many of them featured kids getting around on dune buggies.
The Chan Clan had a great TV theme song (relatively speaking).
I was born in 1961, I watche Kimba the white lion, The Road Runner, The Flint Stones and Tom and Jerry. Much better than these and they were classic. I almost forgot, Prince Planet and Gigantor. 👍🏻
loved the Ant and The Ardvark and the Gargoyles
Is there any truth to the rumor that Sealab 2021 illegally stole assets from Sealab 2020? Because that just ruins 2021 for me.

WTAF is Lurch blue in one shot, white in another, and green in the next???
and why is Wednesday wearing pink?
All of these shows except one failed ... because they looked like something we already had. As a kid in the 70's I can tell you we were not easily fooled and if it looked like you were "borrowing" something we would just as soon go watch the original.
Subjected to Hanna Barberas endless streams of look alike sound alike shows as a kid I was insulted
What about "Where's Huddles?" ??? They only made 10 episodes (according to IMDb).
DePatie is pronounced de patty
I had watched cartoons in the early 70s if it wasn't preempted by the Watergate hearing. But the older I got, the more I was seeing Hanna Barbera going down the toilet. They had Added a horrible laugh track, and everything seemed to center around solving a mystery. It got so bad that they had a great white shark named Jabber jaw that totally ripped off Curly Howard of the Three Stooges. Then there was Cave Man. So badly drawn, I gave up on cartoons. By then I was a teenager and wanted to be outside with my friends.
Help its the hair bear bunch. That an the roman holidays.
No timestamps?
Dont forget the Brady Kids cartoon
Yikes! Funky Phantom has a horrid back story.
I loved most of these
I don’t remember any of these.
A lot of short skirts for kids shows 😅
What's the weird animation between scenes of the series? All these shows had kids or adults solving crimes, that's it! The 60's shows were more fascinating. What happened to the last 90 seconds of this video?
I watched three or four of them
All these shows sound terrible, I’m glad I watched some else back then.
The Barkleys was based on "All in the Family".
I remember Devlin in passing, and Roman Holidays Not a fan of the Charlie Chan series, but it was popular and stood out. I wonder why? Goober was a knock off of Scooby Doo and everyone knew it, but it did get some recognition. I was all in on Funky Phantom, the problem with that show was it had a cool premise but was horribly unfunny. The writing was terrible, and the supporting characters were bland. The rest were too early for my recollection. Thanks for sharing these crappy cartoons.
there was one cartoon that was (likely) better known in Canada called The Secret Railroad
Zippy Zack Hample was a great cartoon.
