I remember those previews shows, too. I'd pore over the new TV GUIDE that had all the new toons, and make a schedule for Saturday morning. :) The best block used to be 7-8 am with ULTRAMAN followed by SPEED RACER. Followed by, in assorted years, SUPER FRIENDS, PAC-MAN, SCOOBY-DOO, JABBERJAW, FANGFACE, PLASTIC MAN, LAFF-A-LYMPICS, SPEED BUGGY, JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS, GODZILLA, DYNOMUTT, FANTASTIC FOUR, SPIDER-MAN & HIS AMAZING FRIENDS, INCREDIBLE HULK, THE BATMAN/TARZAN/LONE RANGER ADVENTURE HOUR, LASSIE & THE RESCUE RANGERS, EMERGENCY + 4, etc. etc. etc. There were even live-action shows that were great--SHAZAM, ISIS, FAR OUT SPACE NUTS, GHOST BUSTERS, LOST SAUCER, KROFFT SUPERSHOW (with WONDERBUG, MAGIC MONGO, BIGFOOT & WILDBOY), HERO HIGH, JASON OF STAR COMMAND, MONSTER SQUAD, KIDS FROM C.A.P.E.R., etc.

Anybody remember all of those? :)

SuperFriends was good until they added those freaking twins. One of the best was Fat Albert. I remember Plastic Man. I remember many of the ones that you mentioned.

Do you have "Boomerang"?
All Hanna Barbera, all the time.
Their slogan is "Boomerang, it's all coming back to you"!

You forgot Hong Kong Phooey!

Almighty Isis! Isis! Isis! What a hoot that was!

The best part though were the Schoolastic Rock Shorts:

VERB! That's what's hap-pen-in! I can take N-ow-n and bend it! Verb!...

LOL.

That "scheduling" rings a bell for me too.

I remember seeing HR Puffinstuff on one of the cable cartoon channels recently. It was so bad I wondered what was wrong with me as a kid that made me like that show.

I'm going to have to do some googling to remind myself of all of the old cartoons.

Hoo boy, you too, huh?! B-) I'll be 37 this year and I remember when the TV Guide came out for the next week, i used to plan my Saturday's too. I do miss a lot of the old Krofft stuff too, espeically "Land of the Lost." There was a lot of good writing on that show, too bad it was made kind of cheap, but it got me interested in things like parallel worlds, dimensions, and so on. There was a side of me who wished I could geti nto one of those silver pylons and play with the matrix tables but my luck I'll either kill myself or end up elsewhere in space and time. B-) The Sleestak were scary though although Enik was cool. Even at my age, when I think of them, I still get a ltitle chill up my spine although I am relieved they can hit the broad side of a barn with their crossbows. The "Library of Skulls" was interesting too where they put the skulls of their ancestors into this huge hall where their "souls" would stay there and the Sleestak would consult them for their advice. The eerie orange glow from the skulls just made it so eerie. Then you had the Pakuni ape-like creatures with Chaka, Dopey the baby-Brontosaur, Alice the Alicesaur who patrolled the Lost City, and Grumpy the T-Rex who harrased the Marshalls. I remember alice had a baby dinosaur with her so I wonder if she had something going with Grumpy. B-)

I also liked the guest they had on like the Zarn, the alien who was made up of lights who tinkled when he moved, the Confederate War veteran who kept the Sleestak at bay with a Civil War cannon, and the hapless space shuttle pilot from their future (post 1970's) who got caught by the Marshall kids. Oh man, no wonder things are going downhill. B-P

I remember watching all of those. There was one show that was better than all of them IMO, Starblazers. A space-capable battleship in battle after battle, how incredibly cool. I loved Bugs Bunny, but there was no comparison to the adventures of the Argo.
