Thanks for all your great comments and memories of these and other classic superhero cartoons! They've inspired me to do a part two on this topic. Stay tuned!
The Herculoids: 90% *ss kicking, 10 % chit-chat. Today's kids missed out on a truly great era of cartoons. Hannah Barbara & Ruby/Spears were toon GIANTS.
Frankenstein Jr, Space Ghost, Herculoids, Galaxy Trio, Mightor, Birdman, Blue Falcon - Hanna Barbera, along with Battle of the Planets and Thundarr the Barbarian are the JOY of my childhood. I didn't know Samson, but now I understand how He-Man has a battle cat! Enjoyed this video.
Yes, I feel if you combine Samson’s transformation of Goliath and Mightor‘s raising his club like the Sword of Power, you’ve just about got He-Man and Battlecat.
I loved Frankenstein Jr. It also took some elements from the 1960 Anime Gigantor as well. I enjoyed The Herculoids, Mighty Mightor, Moby Dick and Shazam, Birdman and Space Ghost as well.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU I WATCHED ALL THESE TV CARTOONS AND WAS ABSORBED BY ALL THE SCIENCE IN ALL THE COMIC BOOKS AT THE TIME OF THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES FROM 1966-1973 HOLLYWOOD FINALLY GOT THE MESSAGE AND CAME OUT WITH SUPERMAN THE MOVIE AND CHRISTOPHER REEVES ACTED,BEHAVED ,LOOKED,AND WALKED LIKE SUPERMAN IT WAS AS IF SUPERMAN HAD JUST WALKED OUT OF THE COMIC BOOKS HE WAS “THE THE SUPERMAN “ AND THE MOVIE WAS ENTIRELY ENTERTAINING AND ENGROSSING EVERYBODY REACTED IMMEDIATELY TO EVERY MOVE THAT CHRISTOPHER REEVE MADE PEOPLE CHEERED HIM ON LIKE YOU WERE IN A BOXING RING!,ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE THEATERS EXPERIENCES I’VE EVER HAD EVERYBODY WALKED OUT LIKE WOW THAT MOVIE WAS AWESOME THEY ARE DEFINITELY COMING OUT WITH ANOTHER ONE AND IT WAS HINTED AT THE END OF THE MOVIE
The Children's Educational Television Act of 1991 was used to permanently eliminate cartoons on the traditional US Television Networks. Since 1991, the school mass-murder shootings started and have escalated since eliminating all Saturday Morning Cartoons.
1960's were the best cartoons ever! Tim Matheson did the voice of Young Samson, also Jonny Quest, Jace from Space Ghost, and Sinbad Jr. and his Magic Belt. Tim"s done a lot of acting, but is probably best known from National Lampoons Animal House.
@@chijiokemadubuko9004 By that time, I was past my prime cartoon years, but I did enjoy watching some with my kids. The Ninja Turtles took over our house! 🤣
In the early days of Cartoon Network, they had a block of time on Saturday afternoons dedicated to these and other retro Superhero cartoons. That's how I found out about these three and more.
Some of these were seen in the mid-80s on the USA Network's Cartoon Express. It would air in the mornings and evenings Mon-Fri, for an hour. Sat evenings had an hour block as well. Sun mornings, it would run for 5 hours. They ran mostly H/B shows and occasionally some Ruby-Spears shows for good measure. That was how I discovered some of these shows.
Yes , that was when Cartoon Network actually lived up to its name . Just like the SciFi Channel used to show all the old classic horror and SciFi movies . It's ridiculous how both cable channels content were much better with less advertisement ( commercials ) money during their early days than now with both attaining more advertisement money . It's truly is the saying " paying more for less " .
I remember that cartoons from the Cartoon Network at the beginning of 1990's in Poland, where CN was avalaible only through the satelite. And after 2000 the Cartoon Network started to become shitty. Greetings from Poland
I’m almost positive that Mightor was in The Snyder Cut Justice League but with a Battle Ax and hurt Darkseid with it. I remember these shows and loved them all, thank you for posting this up
1968 had The Arabian Knights: Prince Turhan athlete and acrobat. Princess Nida a master of disguise. Farik the Magian Could levitate things, turn things invisible including people, change size of things including people. Raseem The Strong. Zazuum the Donkey could kick hard enough to shatter rocks. Bez the Beast could turn into animals including camel, elephant, Winged horse that could fly, Roc a giant bird that flies.
Since they re-ran these a lot of these cartoons of this era on Saturday mornings as well as early weekday mornings on less popular over the air channels up until the mid 80's, many of us do remember most of these.
Mighty Mightor, Space Ghose and Birdman were my favorites from the era. The 60's were way before me though lol. But they did run a lot of reruns. Other show I like was Thundarr, but that was a 1980's show.
Warner has Hanna Barbera's vast video library of those great cartoons and cartoon characters as well. Warner really dropped the ball, is all that I can say.
Very well made video. I'm only 31 but I have a deep love for these old cartoons. Hanna Barbera especially. Frankenstein Jr is also a personal favorite.
Thanks! I loved growing up with all these super hero cartoons on every Saturday morning. When my boys were kids, I bought VHS tapes off of ebay so we could watch these classic cartoons together.
You are young. I remember these on Saturday mornings only. I am a 70s boy so I remember all of that. Hanna Barbera had the best cartoons. Love Herculoids also
Loved Young Samson and Frankenstein Junior back when they were first shown. Never heard of Mightor. The dog turning into the lion was fine with me. Lions were super cool at the time due to Born Free, Daktari, and Kimba the White Lion.
Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles were fictional characters in "Scooby-Doo: Mask of the Blue-Falcon" & possibly SCOOB 2020, Frankenstein Jr. had a very small cameo appearence in SCOOB 2020 during the end credits, and they later appeared in Scooby-Doo: Team-Up called "Nothing is Impossible", which is pretty cool to see!
A few years later Marvel Comics ripped off YOUNG SAMSON’s transformation gimmick for their version of Captain Marvel (Captain Mar-Vell of the Kree Empire). Mar-Vell ended up trapped in the Negative Zone for a while and the only way out would be to temporarily switch places with former Hulk sidekick Rick Jones whenever the latter would touch the Nega-Bands on his wrists together.
in the early 90s Cartoon Network first started they ran the gauntlet with all those old 60s and 70s cartoons every last one of these cartoons somehow ended up on the Cartoon Network
I remember these shows well from my childhood, and brings back some great memories. But now that I am older, I did just see on tiny detail that I never noticed before. Take a look at 7:36 and watch how the huge solid metal door goes straight up, but doesn't come out of the top of the mountain! 🤣
Samson & Goliath as well as Mightor was designed by long-time comic book artist/ animation artist Alex Toth, who also worked on Space Ghost, Marvel's Fantastic Four and Superfriends.
If you remember Space Sentinels with Mo the robot, Hercules, Astria, and Mercury who could match the speed of light..they later were called Freedom Force. There was Submariner cartoons made in 66-67

Back in Brazil, all of those played in the same show with “Jonny Quest” and “The Herculoids” … I’m sure there were many more cartoons that would play with those, like “Shazzam”
Billy Batson said Shazam to become Captain Marvel. A boy and girl pressed to halves of a ring together and said Shazzan to summon the genie and Shazzan was his name.
Hanna-Barbera world of super adventure Saturday morning at 6 am, had to get up early for that one. To bad one old lady ruined it , we could of had more episodes.
Los míos eran todos pero hay algunos especiales como los cuatro fantásticos ,los super amigos ,los picapiedras ,misterio ala orden ,entre Miles no me los perdía ninguno vienen a mi mente esos muñecos historicos o mejor dicho clásicos de todos los tiempos .
Never heard of Young Samson or Frankenstein Jr., but. I do know of Mightor,not that well though. Young Samson and Mightor seem to be a precursor to He-Man.
Some people would say oh its just a old cartoon but at the time we were sending men to the moon and all this was motivation to achieve anything and still be a good guy saving the day , turning the picnic table into whatever we needed ha ha thanks for the flash back to the time of Tang
If I hadn't been such a Frankenstein Jr. fan, I probably would have liked them. But I always felt I got cheated because Frankenstein Jr. had to share the half hour with them.
I think it would be good for a brand new version of (YOUNG SAMSON) cartoon show series to be made now. Now I imagine in a new version of (YOUNG SAMSON) cartoon series the character’s pet dog transforms into a giant wolf instead of a lion.
I had no problem watching 2 Impossible episodes over 1 Frankenstein Jr. segment---I always enjoyed super-hero teams, anyway. Yes, Frankie's massive, metal hands slamming together and creating a flash of resounding lightning was effective, ( reminiscent of Gigantor raising his robot arms and producing electrical activity before going into battle as well), and yes, Frankie's voice was perfect for the part---thanks to the late Ted Cassidy. Re: Young Samson's dog---watching the show, I always thought it was cool, (or at least different), of balancing the canine/feline personas of Goliath. Perhaps Goliath was born a dog with an inner 'feline' persona magically released by the 'Samson bands'.
Funny, I was unaware of Gigantor until Keanu Reeves called someone by that name in the film Speed. That's when I learned that Frankenstein Jr was a bit of a copycat show. But after seeing a Gigantor episode I felt Frank Jr was much better.
Lion is bigger and more power than wolf is why they choose lion. If dog turned into super powered elephant that would be assume also. If pet dolphin turned into Super powered blue whale that would be assume. If small dog turned into a Mastiff did kids even know that type of dog?
There Cartoons !and unless now they did not NEED to bear Logic they meant to be fun and tell with a little help That evil has to be challenged and defeated unlike now where they are glorified for being Evil.
I remember Young Samson when I was during its, uhh, popularity. Then I saw it on reruns when I was almost thirteen. It was interesting how Samson's heroic physique also had him sport long hair like the biblical hero. Maybe a cool 60's touch back then. It's strange that there was little back story like anything involving biblical exploits, and it was ironic that his dog/lion sidekick was named after one of the Bible's most notable villains. And is it not also strange that there was the show 'Davey And Goliath', about a kid and his pet dog back then?
I got to meet Gary Owens, the voice of Space Ghost. He was the emcee at a charity function in San Diego and I was an usher in 1985. He was surprised that I remembered that and autographed my program!
My personal ranking of these heroes: 1) Mightor (one of the few H-B heroes whose origin was depicted), 2) Samson, 3 The Impossibles, and 4) Frankenstein Jr. Don't diss The Impossibles. They had wild, distinctive powers. I do respect Buzz, though. Love how -- when he had to -- he could bounce that ring-beam of his off of numerous structures to activate Frankie.
In the right hands, all the HB action cartoons of that era could be great movies or cartoon reboots. Sadly, none of the right hands are in charge at Warner.
Couldn't have said so better myself. Spike Brandt & Tony Cervone did a solid job on Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated though, so maybe they're the right guys for the job?
All of the 60 cartoons superheroes were absolutely fantastic and they did not promote violence they showed good Always defeating evil, that was the premise of all of the superheroes. That's called political correctness even in that decade.
I totally agree. It was always good vs evil, with evil being defeated. The move to remove all the "violence" pretty much destroyed all the action cartoons. Even a cartoon like Popeye became bland and boring because he wasn't able to use his spinach power to defeat Brutus/Bluto.
@@TonyBoyOhBoy-Mrs. Charren also decried the use of advertising in children’s programming. As you rightly pointed out, much of the content on Saturday mornings was eventually watered down and phased out altogether.
Thank you! I was waiting for someoner to mention He-Man and Battle-cat! I mean c'mon! The resemblance is unmistakable!! I never saw this show as a kid but as an adult He-man was already on and hard not to see the comparison!
Of course I knew those wonderful HB cartoons. I was rather fond of Little Rok from Mightor. He was a brave little boy (no sense of self preservation, however). I wonder how he would turn out when he became an adult. I thought he might inherited the Mightor club. (Remembered Tor got the club from an old man) HB was good doing kids heroes. Considering Samson; I had to endured The Space Kiddets to watched Sansom. Ted Cassidy did the voice for several HB animated characters. (He was also the voice of Indjin Joe in the animation/live action Adventures Of Tom Sawyer series from The Banana Splits show.) That was the reason Joe 90 was one of the few Andersons shows I DIDN'T see. Too busy watching the HB cartoons on the networks channels. 😄
I liked Tooley. Like Little Rok, he was a brave little boy with no sense of self preservation. Thought D'Artagnan was rather unfair to him. As the youngest Musketeer, one would think he would have a bit of empathy for him.

I remember these very well. I remember having school yard arguments about the dog to lion deal. Lol
I can never fully figure out if Young Samson and Goliath leap or fly.
Why you all can't show the full episodes of the 1960's Hanna-Barbera Cartoon TV SERIES.
thanks!
I got to meet Gary Owens, the voice of Space Ghost. He was the emcee at a charity function in San Diego and I was an usher in 1985. He was surprised that I remembered that and autographed my program!
I'll always remember him from Laugh-In, but he did a lot of voice work on cartoons.
My personal ranking of these heroes: 1) Mightor (one of the few H-B heroes whose origin was depicted), 2) Samson, 3 The Impossibles, and 4) Frankenstein Jr. Don't diss The Impossibles. They had wild, distinctive powers. I do respect Buzz, though. Love how -- when he had to -- he could bounce that ring-beam of his off of numerous structures to activate Frankie.
I remember an episode where he bounced the ray off of Telstar.
In the right hands, all the HB action cartoons of that era could be great movies or cartoon reboots. Sadly, none of the right hands are in charge at Warner.
I agree with you!
@@TonyBoyOhBoy I wish they brought back some of those cartoons!
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 the box sets are all available
Couldn't have said so better myself. Spike Brandt & Tony Cervone did a solid job on Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated though, so maybe they're the right guys for the job?
Too true imagine if Stan the Man had the Great Heroes to work with Trilogies one and all. And yea disney would RUIN them too.
Oh my God, I’d completely forgotten about Mightor... I loved that cartoon when I was a kid!... thanks so much for this :-)
All of the 60 cartoons superheroes were absolutely fantastic and they did not promote violence they showed good Always defeating evil, that was the premise of all of the superheroes. That's called political correctness even in that decade.
I totally agree. It was always good vs evil, with evil being defeated. The move to remove all the "violence" pretty much destroyed all the action cartoons. Even a cartoon like Popeye became bland and boring because he wasn't able to use his spinach power to defeat Brutus/Bluto.
@@TonyBoyOhBoy-Mrs. Charren also decried the use of advertising in children’s programming. As you rightly pointed out, much of the content on Saturday mornings was eventually watered down and phased out altogether.
Mightor/Samson & Goliath....so now we know where the idea of Prince Adam & his sidekick tiger (He Man & Battlecat) originally came from.
Thank you! I was waiting for someoner to mention He-Man and Battle-cat! I mean c'mon! The resemblance is unmistakable!! I never saw this show as a kid but as an adult He-man was already on and hard not to see the comparison!
Of course I knew those wonderful HB cartoons.
I was rather fond of Little Rok from Mightor. He was a brave little boy (no sense of self preservation, however). I wonder how he would turn out when he became an adult.
I thought he might inherited the Mightor club. (Remembered Tor got the club from an old man)
HB was good doing kids heroes.
Considering Samson; I had to endured The Space Kiddets to watched Sansom.
Ted Cassidy did the voice for several HB animated characters. (He was also the voice of Indjin Joe in the animation/live action Adventures Of Tom Sawyer series from The Banana Splits show.)
That was the reason Joe 90 was one of the few Andersons shows I DIDN'T see. Too busy watching the HB cartoons on the networks channels. 😄
He was as annoying as Tooley (The Three Muskateers).
I liked Tooley. Like Little Rok, he was a brave little boy with no sense of self preservation.
Thought D'Artagnan was rather unfair to him. As the youngest Musketeer, one would think he would have a bit of empathy for him.
I heard of these cartoons and I never forget them. The impossibles are my favorite fluid man is my favorite member.
How about coil man?
@@danielwarner7572 coil man is cool too.
Fluey was always my favorite too. We had two big ponds and I loved swimming and anything to do with water.
I remember seeing repeats of Mightor in the early 1980s, as I remember pretending to be Mightor in the kindergarten playground.
I can relate! 🤣
Dude, you forgot Frankenstein Jr's other show: The Impossibles!
