I remember watching this in reruns as a kid. Funny, the Tin Man sounds exactly like Brian Doyle Murray.

How 'bout "Fireball XL5" ? 

Loved that show!  Have to admit the whole marionette thing had a distinctive 'look', but that was part of the fun. And who among us would not be delighted by rocket ships on wires!

Am I the only one that remembers this show?  It's one of the few kids shows that I remember that actually had an episode on death.

I don't know if Danger Mouse counts for this topic, but it was yet another show I enjoyed as a kid that seems odd/unique compared to much of the other stuff I partook of.

And sometimes, when I've had just enough to drink, I still dance to the 3-2-1 Contact theme as it plays in my head.

I was convinced for the longest time that I hallucinated this.  That's not irrational, knowing me.  I still see visions of Matthew Broderick signing the dotted line on the contract for Godzilla, unaware the fact that he gave his soul to Gary Busey.

One I remember from the 90's was Action League NOW. It always made me laugh as an adult. Also how come Ren & Stimpy wasn't on the list. Also where was The Bullwinkle Show? Fractured Fairy Tales was one of my most favorite segments on that show as a kid and those were pretty odd for a Saturday Morning Cartoon.
As far as what was on the list, I watched Sigmund and the Sea Monsters when I was a child. It was one of my favorites. Granted I watched Pee Wee's Playhouse but that was after I discovered certain substances which made me laugh at stuff for no reason.

I'm not canadian but I did catch "hlarious house of frightenstein" on DVD.  great stuff

I got to see it afterschool in the early 70's (1974 or 5' ) on WNEW 5 New York (who also had my favorite Saturday night horror movie show, Creature Features.)  In fact I remember one time I screamed like hell because I wanted to see it after school, but my mom dragged me to the barber shop.  The guy was cool, because he had a TV that got channel 5.

The castle lights are growing dim
There's noone left, but me, and him
When next we meet in Frankenstone,
Don't come alone.....

Good times!

This was a really sinister show when I was a kid.
I loved it.

The other series were a bit silly, though.

Wow I did not know they had a show of this, I have most of the Mark Schultz's TALES OF THE XENOZOIC comics that this is based off of. Good throw back to the pulp/Frazetta era of comics.
