Half are now gone. Are you having a flashback for writing this comment? Let's do the math. 12 years ago was 2012. This was back in 1987, which was 25 years, so I'll check in in another 12.5 years, in which your comment will be as old as the video when you watched it on TH-cam. Cya then.
@DanZero77 This was before my time since I was born '92. What I remember from sat. mornings was probably early/mid 90's on FOX and catching TMNT I think either on CBS and then the other episode on USA cartoon express if my memory serves correctly. You didn't like Mario Bros. 3? That's my favorite of the Mario series. I just watched the preview for the '89 lineup. NBC was sooo cool back then. I wish it was still like this because it would give me incentive to actually get up on Sat. mornings
Yup. Back in the day, the networks took great pride in their Saturday morning cartoons. The fanfare rivalled most of their primetime stuff. The Alf cartoon was pretty good. It went far to explain his odd behavior.
During the final three years of NBC's orignal Saturday morning block, all of its programming outside of Saved by the Bell suffered constant Executive Meddling. First, NBC canceled The Smurfs, at one time considered NBC's staple animated program, and gave it the “lost in time” treatment for a year while struggling to headline newer shows, like Captain N: The Game Master and the Animated Adaptation of The Karate Kid, the latter of which was promptly axed due to low ratings. Both shows had to rely on word-of-mouth as NBC chose to spend their resources headlining Saved by the Bell. Then, a year later, Kissyfur was axed and its time slot replaced by NBA Inside Stuff, a recap program of NBA basketball games. At the same time, NBC exhausted more advertising revenue toward Saved by the Bell, causing drastic budget cuts for cartoons airing on the block. Potential viewers would either move to other blocks, such as newcomer Fox Kids, or watch Nickelodeon instead. Then, in the block's final year, Captain N was shortened from an hour to a half-hour, and both Alvin and the Chipmunks and the obscure Gravedale High were canceled in favor of new shows like ProStars and Yo Yogi!, the latter of which was critically panned and proved to be the final straw. As a result of the persistent ratings failures and continued pressure within the children's television market, NBC ordered all Saturday morning programs canceled, save for only Saved by the Bell since it was the most successful show of the block. They continued airing reruns of the shows until August 1st, 1992, when a teen-oriented live-action block named TNBC and a Saturday morning edition of Today took its place. Saved by the Bell and NBA Inside Stuff were the only programs to survive the transition. NBC's decision to drop their Saturday Morning Cartoon block is widely viewed as the beginning of the end for the format.
@eyeh8nbc - NBC's decline began when they cancelled The Gummi Bears in 1989 (only to move to ABC that Fall). Then things took a turn for the bad again when The Smurfs (which by 1989 was on the verge of cancellation w/ the Time Travel eps.) got the pink slip from the Peacock in 1990. The penultimate canning of Alvin and the Chipmunks (by Fall 1990 it was Chipmunks Go To the Movies) in 1991, led to the ultimate signaling of the end of NBC Saturday Morning Cartoons in 1992.
@osaji922 Sadly, yes the act passed in 1996 that made everything E/I killed off the merchandising aspect of animated programming and a long 30-40 year tradition was done. Stuff like this video will always remind me that Saturday morning meant *something* to the big networks at the time.
Interesting fact, where I came from my local NBC affiliate stopped showing Saturday Morning cartoons in the spring of '91. That following fall, all that was shown on Saturday Mornings was local religious kids shows. Wrap your head around that!
Our cbs affiliate in Columbus Ohio stopped showing cartoons in the 90s and would show beakman and story break at noon. During the 80s they would only show cartoons from 9 until 11:30
NBC did eventually impliment the T-NBC block with strictly live action tween sitcoms like Saved by the Bell, California Dreams and all those other obscure tween shows.
I heard that was one of the reasons why the Ruby-Spears Superman animated series on CBS (1988) lasted only one season. Consistent cut offs of the series due to sports events made it too costly to produce which forced CBS to cancel the series. A proposed Batman series was shelved due to this reason as well.
List of shows from this special available on DVD ALF: The Animated Series (Episodes 1-9) Smurfs (Season 1) Gummi Bears (Seasons 1-3) Fraggle Rock: The Animated Series (Complete Series)
@rjb1216 I watched that one but didn't tape it- it was called "Back to Next Saturday" and the title used the same lettering as "Back to the Future". That was also in stereo but our local station didn't have a stereo signal yet which pissed me off, though they did have it up and running the following week.
Actually The Snorks went into 1st-syndication by this time, airing as part of The Funtastic of Hanna-Barbera, which may or may not have been seen on some NBC affiliates.
megamanj2004X I was disappointed in NBC cancelling the Snorks and Punky Brewster in 1986 only to be picked up in syndication in 1987 also, during the 87/88 Season, Dick Clark's American Bandstand also moved to syndication after 30 years on abc and AB turned 35 years old in 1987
By that season (1987-88): Smurfs, Chipmunks 🐿 and Gummi Bears 🐻 we’re declining in the ratings as NBC went from first to third on Saturday Mornings behind CBS and ABC.
Where's the Snorks promo? Come on NBC, you brought the show back to your lineup that year! In 1987 when I was in preschool, 4 programs ruled saturday morning for me: ALF's Tales,DuckTales,Snorks, and TMNT. I was getting tired of Smurfs and was starting to chafe on them, by '88 I stopped watching them altogether, a year later in 1989, NBC finally canned them. Sadly, just 5 years later, NBC would no longer produce saturday morning cartoons.
By that time (1987), Smurfs was on borrowed time as the series faded among the Saturday morning audience as the original viewers was growing up. In 1988: The Smurfs dominated Saturday mornings as the highest-rated Saturday show for years, until Pee-wee came along. Smurfs was just starting to run out of steam in 1988 after 7 years, this season knocked back from an hour and a half to its original hour length. In 1989: NBC changed the format of the show, removing some of the Smurfs from the forest and omitted the Smurf village. These changes were adopted to a lost in time format similar to The Time Tunnel. The show was cancelled because of decreasing ratings due to viewers being displeased with the change. In addition, NBC executives prepared a Today weekend program for Saturdays as well as programmings for teenagers such as Saved by the Bell, which came later on and led to the elimination of Saturday morning animated children's shows.
@DanZero77 NBC was the first network to get rid of cartoons just a couple years after this, in favor of the Saturday Today Show. Cartoons were headed downhill by that point anyways- I remember a local TV critic saying that Foofur was "about as exciting as a test pattern."

I don't really remember these specials. I wish i did. I remember the individual cartoons and shows. But, i don't remember this..maybe i was too young..I was 7 or 8..This is neat though..sigh, it..kinda makes me sad, I really miss the 80s. My brother roll his eyes 👀 eyes at me..& hates it..when i bring up memories..sigh, he says i should live in the "now"-today 😝-Nothing like the 80's!!(JUNKIE)
I hate to say I didn't know the name "Mary Wickes" but then I looked up her bio, and she has been in tons of movies and TV shows. I though I had seen her before.
Well, they were going to do a puppet MB series, but couldn't afford to do puppetry interspered with cameo segments, so they opted for animation outsourced from Japan. As for the FR cartoon, it was done for the sake of those who didn't get HBO to see the original puppet series.

You don't have to tell me twice. But there might be hope. I like what ABC is doing. Heard they might bring back TGIF. As far as cartoons go CN does have a block on saturday morning but the only cartoon I like is Young Justice. Nick doesn't even have a block though but they have Legend of Korra thrown in on saturday mornings. All together that makes 1 hour of saturday cartoons for me lol. I guess it's better than nothing
The 80s were seriously the best time ever to be a kid.
Also, I love that Alf dropped an Oliver North joke in a show for kids. I'm sure they laughed for days.
@zaedrek I agree late 80s 90s I was a nick kid it was great
The NBC network had such a feeling of community back then. There always seemed to be a special event or tv movie, or something, where actors from their shows crossed over and interacted.

No matter what she appears in, the iconic Jackee Harry ALWAYS stands out! She has it!
I remember watching one where hulk hogan and a bunch of wrestlers hosted a preview special. Then I also remember watching one on NBC that was like an award show previewing the cartoons and a real life Spider-Man , iceman and fire star showed up. It was cool for Saturday mornings back then.
Yes, the Friday night before the new fall cartoons aired was always so exciting.

So crazy that today kids don’t even know the concept of “Saturday morning cartoons.” Such a pop cultural, but dated, phenomenon.
RIP to both Benji Gregory and Shannen Doherty.
Hands up if you wish this were syndicated as a regular episode of ALF.

network TV in general lacks the extravagance they had in the 80s

I hate to say I didn't know the name "Mary Wickes" but then I looked up her bio, and she has been in tons of movies and TV shows. I though I had seen her before.
When this aired in Houston on KPRC, they posted a message during I'm Telling that the shlow can be seen @ 6:30 am, instead of 11:30 am.
The fine print of all these actors contracts must’ve included doing these goofy shows.
