Saturday Day Morning Cartoons and Other Things

[RCMerchant]

In 1970, they had a show out of Kalamazoo called Channel 3 Clubhouse. It had some lady with puppets and s**t, with a live kid audiance. Anyway they had this cartoon on it- RUFF AND REDDY. I still can recite the lyrics.

There was another thread where we mentioned cartoons we grew up with.  So I'll repost:
THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BATMAN (1977)
My sisters and I watched the hell out of this one.  Adam West and Burt Ward voiced Batman and Robin!  Lou Scheimer himself voiced Bat-Mite and other characters.

I watched plenty of TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE (1976), also by Filmation and with the great voice of Bob Ridgely as Tarzan!

Bird  Man was dumb as f**k! 

I loved Johnny Quest.

I remember IN THE NEWS. It showed when the helicopter was airlifting people off the embassy in Saigon! When I was watching Scooby Doo!

I remember some cartoons in the late 70s/early 80s with plot devices that made me certain the creators were on something illegal!
MIGHYMAN and YUKK-- a portion of the PLASTIC MAN COMEDY ADVENTURE SHOW where a guy could turn tiny and super strong, and he had a giant dog sidekick with a face so ugly it could incapacitate the bad guys, so he had a tiny doghouse over it.  WTF??

THE NEW SCHMOO-- why did they bring the Li'l Abner character into modern times (late 70s anyway) and make him a stretchy superhero??

SHIRT TALES-- a bunch of zoo animals have t-shirts on that say what they're thinking.  Their shirts should have said HANNAH BARBERA ARE HIGH!!!!
RUBIK, THE AMAZING CUBE-- They turned the classic puzzle into a f***ing friendly alien thing??  My brain is officially soup now.

And taking popular shows or young actors and giving them their own cartoon show NEVER works.  Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, The Partridge Family, The Gary Coleman Show, Punky Brewster.. egad.
