THE BEST EVER! James Bond for kids! And the theme song and background music by Hoyt Curtin (who also wrote Meet the Flintstones and most if not all of the music for the Hanna-Barbera productions) was outstanding. Curtin was right up there with Lalo Schifrin (composer of the theme to Mission Impossible, along with the music to such films as Bullitt, Kelly’s Heroes, Way, Way Out . . . too many to list). I have all the Jonny Quest episodes on Apple TV.
Ah, yes...the busy-bodies of ACT (Action for Children's Television). They were definitely a blight on the TV animation business, dedicated to sucking any joy and fun out of Saturday mornings.
Maybe you are right but what we got now like Family Guy & sometime The Simpson got me nervous. Many of these old cartoons were jumps but what we got now is worse!😮🤐😯🙄
I had to laugh when "Jonny Quest" cartoons were edited to remove the "violence" for Saturday mornings. The damn thing was written for adults in primetime.
My 1960s Golden Age of Cartoons Were Scott McCloud "Space Angel", CBS Lone Ranger, Space Ghost, the Herculoids, Superman & Aquaman Hour, Moby Dick & Mighty Migtor, ABC Fantastic Four, Spiderman, Fantastic Voyage, George of the Jungle, NBC the Banana Spits, Pink Panther & Inspector', & Jonny Quest.
I have seen most of these as a kid in the 80's too. Not often, but I remember them being on really early or during Dead time ( 11:30 a m. ) or whatever
I think this is about the new crop of cartoons that started with Super Saturday beginning in September 1966 (even though THE BEATLES premiered in September 1965). THE BEATLES lasted more than one season and got canceled after it was moved from Saturday morning to Sunday morning.
2 things got me rolling my eyes here: 1. Adventures of Gulliver, Gulliver's name was Gary, and he didn't shrink; he remained human size among the Lilliputians. 2. Arabian Knights, Zazoom was a donkey that turned into a whirlwind whenever someone pulled his tail.
There was one episode where Gary shrinks because he drank from a magical pool but he returns to his normal size by the end thanks to the help of his little friends,

@@jbleichman The whole thing must be AI - which doesn't realize that we didn't have remote controls in the '60s, nor did we watch Saturday morning cartoons in movie theaters.
I remember all but a couple of those. From that list the Herculoids was probably my favorite. But I can't say any of them were shows I looked forward to all week. The Bugs Bunny show, Pink Panther, and Scooby Doo were my top 3. I remember liking Underdog when that was on. And Johnny Quest was good, I especially liked it when Hadji did the trick with the barrels. In those days we only got one channel reliably so if it wasn't on NBC or a rerun the local station showed I was out of luck.
There's. so many lost and forgotten 60s cartoons. I surmise this video is only going to mention cartoons coming from the big boys like Hanna Barbera. Typical. However, there was even more obscure cartoons out there like Milton The Monster, Super 6, Spy Shadow, and Super President. The list goes on. King Kong, Smokey The Bear, George Of The Jungle, Hoopity Hooper, and Gignator.
I'd forgotten about that show, but seeing the clip from the opening credits I remember it. As a kid I thought that was a pretty good show. I remember one episode where they had been swallowed by a whale or something similar and were running around inside it. That had me on the edge of my seat :)
I wondered why the thumbnails clips and introductory bits showed _The Beatles_ cartoon series; even the narrative acknowledged that its 39 episodes were over "three years" - in short, that series lasted THREE seasons, not just one, and it does NOT belong in this list of "one season" shows AT ALL!
A long while! They were on Saturday morning cartoons at least until 1986 when I more or less stopped watching them. I see kids (ex's etc ) now that don't watch cartoons at all anymore - expect like Family guy etc It's kinda sad really. They're watching adult humor shows on Hulu/Netflix etc now. Growing up wayyy to fast. I'm glad I didn't have access to these things.
@@Sammy_Boy_Smith Saturday morning cartoon time is no more. They killed it off. Going to real arcades, renting movies on the weekend at Blockbuster, hanging out in malls. Those are all pretty much gone forever.
I grew up in the 1960's, at one point only having one clear station CBS. I waAs particularly adored with 'Fantastic Voyage', 'Kimba the White Lion' and the Herculoids. And I still am.
I didn't see The Mighty Heroes on your list. When the city is in trouble they call for the mightiest heroes - The Mighty Heroes! Strong Man, Rope Man, Cuckoo Man, Diaper Man, and Tornado Man
Actually, Amzot was of the first incarnation of The Heculoids. When brought back a few years later, Hurculoids even crossed over with the re-itteration of Space Ghost. The name 'Quazar ' was more marketable...
This was so charming, I can't even put it into words, as it conjured so many memories. I was born in 1962 and Saturday morning cartoons were my world! It's hard to believe that the Herculoids only ran one season. It's a testament to how expansive time is to a child. There were three cartoons that were always my go-tos: Secret Squirrel; Underdog; and The Herculoids! Fun little note: I was in a touring band in the early 80's and a quote we would always joke with when up against something we knew we couldn't do: "It'll never work - Tag can't swim that far" ~Glum from Gulliver's Travels. This was so fun! Thank you!!!!!
I saw most of these cartoons in reruns on channel 52 and much later on Cartoon Network. The only one to resurface was the Herculoids. They were part of the new Space Ghost saga, along with new characters and would team up in the major events episode. Nice seeing these again. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Does anyone remember Roger Ramjet?!! Dodo the kid from outer space?!! Courageous cat and minute mouse?!! Krazy Kat?!! OH AND of course Popeye! And SCOOBY DOO! Regards, Andy, Annmarie's husband.
Good video, me and my coworker as we were putting together braker boxes we got on the subjects of vintage cartoons. We like to challenge each other on what we know about past events and so on, sense we are in our early 60s. He mentioned most of the cartoons in your video. I wasn't impressed with his choices. So I rattled off a few such as, Here Comes the Grump! The Milton the monster show & The reluctant dragon & Mr. Toad show just to mention a few. He claimed he never heard of these cartoons. I said you have the internet look them up. He was impressed and watch these cartoons, he thought I was making them up.
I remember almost all of these, but two that weren't on your list are Fantastic Voyage and Journey to the Center of the Earth. So what were the popular shows you kept mentioning that drove these wonderful shows off?
Heck.... We didn't even get a " year" sometimes with lower decks n Morty! We had to wait a year or two in the beginning. But now that they're rich, they have the ability to pump out 16 a year at least. But yes, I get what u meant!
I think Milton the Monster was a one season too. He sounded like Gomer Pyle when he talked. I just brought it up in case anyone else remembered it and it wasn't on this list.
Beanie Boy and Cecil the Sea Serpent... my favorite at ages 1 to 3... I still have the "life-sized" talking Beanie Boy doll my parents gave me one Christmas... my mom brought it out to me when visiting my new home (for me) in 1999. Back in the early 1960's, I have been told that I was extremely ill, came out of the bedroom, asked, is he here? My parents opened the package for me and I went back to bed with him.
All 10 of these cartoons were on TV in the early 70's as well. I remember watching them as a young child back then. Today we can stream these classics online.
1/2 of these were favs when I was a kiddo, Space Kiddettes must have been on against Bugs or the Stooges, never heard of it. Back then we didn't analyze it we just watched the good stuff.
Does anybody remember one called "Reboot"? I know this was way after the 60's but IMO it was the most interesting cartoon ever. I'm 68 now so I was probably in my 30's and I was enthralled.
You forgot, the most memorable cartooon show of the 60's only lasted one season, even though it doesn't seem like. But believe it or not The Jetsons only lasted one season.
One it was Gloop and Gleep The formless fearless wonders Two did I miss Iggo the great stone ape. Are you even paying attention Gulliver was the tall one he shrank in one episode
Not really surprising that most of these "one-season wonders" were from Hanna-Barbera. Not to knock H-B, mind you, but they were cranking out so many cartoon shows they could fill up a Saturday morning all by themselves. Unfortunately, they did tend to start repeating themselves after a while. Ever stop to consider how many teen mystery solvers and a [fill-in-the-blank] sidekick/companion they produced? Fun stuff, but they couldn't all be winners.
Whoever chose the filler for this obviously wasn't around in the '60s. TV remotes didn't exist then. You actually had to get up and turn the channels yourself. Assuming you had more than one. I remember it being a big day when we got our second channel.
Crusader Rabbit and his friend Raggs the tiger!! Really from the 1950's, but Rocky and Bullwinkle exists because of that show. The knight riding around on the R&B show was taken from the Crusader Rabbit opening and closing credits... Crusader Rabbit did not wear armor, that was a part of his imagination and dreams.
Now wait a minute... We did not change channels like that. We got up, walked across the room, changed the channel and then fine tuned it in so it was not fuzzy.. had to do that last step almost every time, especially if you went to the UHF channels.
Few one-season cartoons of the 60;s epitomized the 60's themselves as well as the Jay Ward Production Tom Slick. Let's not forget another of their great one-season wonders, George of the Jungle.
Me and my brothers Watched these classic cartoons on a 19 inch RCA black & white TV when we lived in Los Angeles. Non-woke cartoons. What fun we had watching them on Saturday mornings. I miss those day's.
What? Did you say the hero in Hanna-Barbera's version of Gulliver was named Dicky? No, his name was Gary Gulliver and he didn't shrink. And Zazu wasn't a genie in the Arabian Knights. He was a donkey who beat the crap out of the bad guys whenever they pulled his tail. There was a magician in the Arabian Knights, but he wasn't a genie. There was another guy who could change into any animal. They never explained how or where he got the power to do that, but they never claimed he was a genie either.
The thing is most of these did not just fade. Shows like Johnny Quest, the Herculoids and Frankenstein Jr aired in syndications for years. As a child of the 79’s and 80’s I regularly saw them. The Beatles? Never saw a single episode. When it ended it disapeared. That Scott McCloud show is another that did not make the transition to the 70’s.
The reason they were not being watched is that they were boring as hell, not all of them but most. As a kid of that era I didn’t go out to play until all the funny cartoons were over at twelve, once these came we just got up and went outside.
one show I really liked and was stopped before it concluded was Pirates on Dark Water-great animation and action-shame we never saw them gather all 13 parts to beat the evil Dark waters...
I recall only the cartoon with the giant robot. I watched maybe two or three episodes. I was more into Rocky and Bullwinkle and Jonny Quest, and The Flintstones.
I remember The Adventures of Gulliver well, in that I couldn't get away from it fast enough. Even as a kid I was literate, and it seems like the Hanna-Barbarians hadn't read the book! Gulliver's Travels is a political satire from another age, and strange raw material for animation targeted at children. I can remember joking with my mother that there were no La Putans in the 'toon...
My thought is that the quality of the animation was so poor that it was difficult to watch. Especially compared to such programs as Bugs Bunny, the Roadrunner, etc..
Do one on weirdest cartoons ever. Chief among them Cartoon Networks Adult Swim: Assy McGee, an ultra-violent and emotionally disturbed police detective who happens to have no upper torso, head, or arms. How it lasted 2 seasons of 10 episodes is one the great unsolved mysteries. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watched all of these in their time but looking back the animation quality was quite poor, but maybe I am spoiled by current technology. But honestly it seems they were produced on the cheap. Much better animated features were available much earlier... In addition the story lines were repetitive, with talking dogs and "rock" bands. But, products of the time!
I talk about Cool McCool, people look at me, as if i was Marvin the Martian, not many remember, thats sad, back in the 60's, we had a lot of spy cartoons, Cool McCool, Atom ant, Secret Squirrel, Fearless Fly, Snooper and Blabber, Johnny Quest, etc.. in the 70's not so many, Hong Kong phooey, The Chan Clan, Scooby doo, Goober and the ghost chasers, Josie and the pussy cats, mot many spy themes, a lot copied each other , like Scooby, goober, josie, etc...
Beatles cartoon. I'm not sure I remember that (born in Nov. of 1955), but I wonder if it was the inspiration for The Monkees tv show? So many of these shows were cancelled because of "cartoon violence" and a fear the kids were too dumb not to know it wasn't real, that trying those things would get kids hurt. So instead we wound up with cartoons that were/are badly drawn, idiotic, snobbish, disgusting and foul-mouthed.
Most of these shows ran one season (or not, the Beatles ran 3) because that was all that was needed for syndication $$ - spending any more wasn't needed. Even a number of primetime network shows of the era (let alone Saturday morning kid's TV) were axed once they had enough episodes to syndicate and repeat - spending money making more was seen as a waste of money. And because shows were syndicated and screened in any order - episodes all had to be stand alone with no season arcs anywhere to be seen. These days you pay to watch - therefore you have be hooked to stay (so tell stories as s...l...o..w..l...y as possible over as many episodes as possible) - back then you watched in order to see the ads (they paid for everything) and programs were just filler between the ads, only inteneded to keep you around long enough to remember the product being flogged.
P.S. The biggest money-making merchandised kid's show of the 1960s was Thunderbirds - it made umpteen millions for it's owners - and ran all of 32 episodes....
Jonny Quest was a Cartoon Way Ahead of Its Time .
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
one of my fav also loved Sinbad the Sailor

I watched most of these shows as a kid. We had only 3 channels and *I* was the remote.
Plus the antenna turner, sometimes we get channel 26 UHF.
Same here

Most of these cartoons were canceled because of a parental group against violence got them canceled. I as a kid then I am pissed!!

You forgot about Igoo the rock giant.
Correct. He was like a short King Kong. Very useful in battle.
Didn't the 60's have a Felix the Cat series where Felix had a magic bag?
Felix The Cat ran from 1959-60, so technically a 50s show. But it did only run one season originally.
50's and 60's
And there was Milton the Monster, Fearless Fly, The Mighty Heroes, etc.
I think this is about the new crop of cartoons that started with Super Saturday beginning in September 1966 (even though THE BEATLES premiered in September 1965).

Don't forget, before Cool McCool Kane also was involved with an earlier 60's spoof of His own Batman with Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse🤓😎✌🏼
Why is Beany and cecil allways forgotten
I always heard it's because a lot of kids were frightened by Cecil's looks. Probably why that cartoon is no longer mentioned.
The herculoids actually got two seasons their own show and they were guests on a 70 show called space Stars. And gloop and gleek were schmoos

ran for three seasons

And Zazu wasn't a genie in the Arabian Knights. He was a donkey who beat the crap out of the bad guys whenever they pulled his tail. There was a magician in the Arabian Knights, but he wasn't a genie. There was another guy who could change into any animal. They never explained how or where he got the power to do that, but they never claimed he was a genie either.
Touche' (smile)
You also left out anime shows like Kimba the White Lion, Astro Boy and Speed Racer that were also aired in the 60's.
All of those shows were dubbed in English and ran more than one season in the U.S.
Marine Boy Too.
Tom Slick, Wacky Races, Stop that Pigeon. The Pebbles and Bam-Bam Show just of the top of my head.
Just because most of these were only one season did not mean we did not watch them for over a decade.
The thing is most of these did not just fade. Shows like Johnny Quest, the Herculoids and Frankenstein Jr aired in syndications for years. As a child of the 79’s and 80’s I regularly saw them. The Beatles? Never saw a single episode. When it ended it disapeared. That Scott McCloud show is another that did not make the transition to the 70’s.
Anyone remember Kimba The White Lion, Marine Boy with his sonic boomerang and Milton The Monster?
Why is Jonny Quest not on this list!?! The BEST animated show of the 60s!
Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Hour was the best. Johnny Quest was great. I watched a couple of these shows also!
Young Samson was canceled because he rode a Moped. Cool people don't ride Mopeds.
And in the last episode he was blinded.
I watched most of those cartoons as a kid.
The reason they were not being watched is that they were boring as hell, not all of them but most. As a kid of that era I didn’t go out to play until all the funny cartoons were over at twelve, once these came we just got up and went outside.
one show I really liked and was stopped before it concluded was Pirates on Dark Water-great animation and action-shame we never saw them gather all 13 parts to beat the evil Dark waters...
I recall only the cartoon with the giant robot. I watched maybe two or three episodes. I was more into Rocky and Bullwinkle and Jonny Quest, and The Flintstones.
I remember The Adventures of Gulliver well, in that I couldn't get away from it fast enough. Even as a kid I was literate, and it seems like the Hanna-Barbarians hadn't read the book! Gulliver's Travels is a political satire from another age, and strange raw material for animation targeted at children. I can remember joking with my mother that there were no La Putans in the 'toon...
space cadets the dogs name was pupstar not snoopy
loved The Ant AND THE ARDVARK ASLO GARGOLES
My thought is that the quality of the animation was so poor that it was difficult to watch. Especially compared to such programs as Bugs Bunny, the Roadrunner, etc..
What about the "Groovy Goolies"? Or was that in the 70's? Only one season made, and one rerun season.
Do one on weirdest cartoons ever. Chief among them Cartoon Networks Adult Swim:
Assy McGee, an ultra-violent and emotionally disturbed police detective who happens to have no upper torso, head, or arms.
How it lasted 2 seasons of 10 episodes is one the great unsolved mysteries. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watched all of these in their time but looking back the animation quality was quite poor, but maybe I am spoiled by current technology. But honestly it seems they were produced on the cheap. Much better animated features were available much earlier... In addition the story lines were repetitive, with talking dogs and "rock" bands. But, products of the time!
Indian Joe 🤫😉
Injun, but FB won't let me say it
@@paulsarnik8506 Injun / Redskin is a Bad Word to Native-Americans.
I talk about Cool McCool, people look at me, as if i was Marvin the Martian, not many remember, thats sad, back in the 60's, we had a lot of spy cartoons, Cool McCool, Atom ant, Secret Squirrel, Fearless Fly, Snooper and Blabber, Johnny Quest, etc.. in the 70's not so many, Hong Kong phooey, The Chan Clan, Scooby doo, Goober and the ghost chasers, Josie and the pussy cats, mot many spy themes, a lot copied each other , like Scooby, goober, josie, etc...
Loved the space cadets
The Groovie Ghoulies with their music videos.
2:20 Ah, Squishface!
You didn't mention Moby Dick and the Mighty Mightor. Or Super Six. Or the animated Lone Ranger. Or The Banana Splits Show.
I notice you left Iggu out from the Herculoids roster.
How u didn’t provide the year (s) of the cartoons is ridiculous. U give history w/o the timeframe. Hint: google. The dates are readily available.
Beatles cartoon. I'm not sure I remember that (born in Nov. of 1955), but I wonder if it was the inspiration for The Monkees tv show?
So many of these shows were cancelled because of "cartoon violence" and a fear the kids were too dumb not to know it wasn't real, that trying those things would get kids hurt. So instead we wound up with cartoons that were/are badly drawn, idiotic, snobbish, disgusting and foul-mouthed.
I watched Shazzan, and also the Herculoids.
Most of these shows ran one season (or not, the Beatles ran 3) because that was all that was needed for syndication $$ - spending any more wasn't needed. Even a number of primetime network shows of the era (let alone Saturday morning kid's TV) were axed once they had enough episodes to syndicate and repeat - spending money making more was seen as a waste of money. And because shows were syndicated and screened in any order - episodes all had to be stand alone with no season arcs anywhere to be seen. These days you pay to watch - therefore you have be hooked to stay (so tell stories as s...l...o..w..l...y as possible over as many episodes as possible) - back then you watched in order to see the ads (they paid for everything) and programs were just filler between the ads, only inteneded to keep you around long enough to remember the product being flogged.
P.S. The biggest money-making merchandised kid's show of the 1960s was Thunderbirds - it made umpteen millions for it's owners - and ran all of 32 episodes....
The Beatles ran for three seasons
.....i only recall the beatles cartoon........
Cool McCool is the only one I don't recall
