Great Saturday morning TV shows

I don't know about Yaddo, but I'm only 27, born in January 1976. I just have a very good memory. It also helped that a local station reran all the Krofft shows until 1982!

I'm in my late twenties, I have a good memory for TV shows. Plus the TV networks used to be really bad about bringing back old series or repackaging them on their Saturday morning schedules, so some shows like "Shazam!" I remember but not from their initial run. I can remember when NBC reran the original Jonny Quest series in the late 70s and early 80s and my uncles being surprised I knew and liked the series since it had originally aired when they were growing up.

I think I saw like 3 episodes of that. I liked it, but I could never seem to find it.

I once read a post that stated that the makers of most kids' shows don't believe kids are capable of telling new episodes from repeats, so they don't see the need to make more than a couple seasons, then they just keep repeating them. This was the reason given when someone questioned why Nickelodeon only makes 2-3 seasons of each show. I think it might have even been a direct quote by someone at Nick, but I can't swear to that now.
