My siblings and I grew up in the 60s and loved the Saturday morning cartoons, sitting in the living room with big bowls of cereal, then after lunch we’d go out and play. Most cartoons were by Hanna-Barbera, but we also liked cartoons from other studios-Popeye, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Casper. Great memories!

Season 1 was great, but seasons 2 and 3 weren't that good. They changed the format to more science fiction and fantasy as opposed to season 1 where Spider-man fought his traditional villains. The animation was worse too because they cut the budget for seasons 2 and 3 too. Yet, this show had one of the best all time Superhero themes of any era. It's a shame kids today think Miles Morales is Spider-man not Peter Parker because of the animated movie "Into the Spiderverse" from a few years ago. There's even a KZbin version of this Spider-man theme with Miles Morales as Spider-man. Truly sad. Peter [Parker will always be Spider-man to me.

I agree with both of you; as kids, I think we needed to see various characters--whether they looked fairly realistic, or cartoony--doing amazing things.

What's really sad is that most children today have their heads buried in cell phone and computer screens for all of the available information, but can't form sentences or comprehend what it takes to have a halfway decent conversation with people their own age, let alone an adult! As a child, after watching cartoons, we went outside to meet and play with other children in our neighborhoods and learn about living as children to grow into young adults!

Space Ghost and the Council Of Doom with cameo appearances by the HB Superheroes of 1967.

[@MIXPRO68]

TY SO MUCH FOR THIS-THOUGH I WAS BORN IN 1968-ALL OF THESE CARTOONS WERE EITHER SHOWN IN SYNDICATION IN THE 70'S OR REBROADCASTED AGAIN AS WELL ON THE THREE BIG NETWORKS-I WISH TVLAND OR BOOMERANG WOULD TAKE THESE CARTOONS AND CREATE A SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON TRIBUTE ON A REGULAR BASIS.

[@3912James]

Depending on when in 1968 you were born....a few episodes of the 1967-1968 year may have been released. Me? I was born in mid-summer 1967 JUST before these cartoons (syndicated or not) were released.

[@timfremstad3434]

You're sooooo right Perry, I've thought the same thing about the old tv line-ups, it would be cool to see these shows in their original time slots and day of the week they came on; probably wouldn't make much money, but it would be sweet.

[@rogerwhite9484]

Yes , am glad for syndication as I vvatched them in the 1970's & a channel rerunning these vvould do vvell as vvell as attract nevv fans

Thanks for the memories. I did however enjoy the zany “George of the Jungle”.

That had the subtle insightful humor like Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Love these they are great remember them all watched with my girls in the 70’s . Thanks for sharing

[@SirSmoldham]

I remember every one of these. Thanks for your work!

[@trentonsizemore1233]

Well I can honestly say that I am 57 years old and my friends and I along with most kids had a great time watching Saturday morning cartoons they might off had some violence but it was always the hero prevailing witch taught us good guys take down bad guys what I am saying is it clearly showed what was bad and what was good and gave us values of good and evil and we didn't grow up shooting up schools or post offices or anything like that

[@FredFlix]

Nicely said, Trenton.

[@peacefuljeffrey]

Trenton Sizemore I agree with most of what you said, but I think that you should have put more into the writing of it. You wrote a big run-on sentence and used a lot of misspellings or incorrect words. By the way, I think that for every kid who was influenced properly by the good guys, there was a kid who identified with the bad guys and turned into a piece of shit later in life.

Robbie D Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was cool.

I agree it taught us respect always do good deeds and to respect our elders something you don't see in today's generation.

[@timothypeck3640]

Thanks!!! Thanks to all the superheroes and all their powers!!!! This took me back to a happier, brighter time! I'm 62 now, but watching this brought back memories of an age of my life that regenerated my very being!!!! It's great to be young again, even in my soul, my mind!

[@FredFlix]

You're welcome, Timothy.

[@KAS6558]

I so remember these shows! They way they got on air was that Fred Silverman, then the president of children's programming at CBS brought in a stack of comics, plopped them down on HANNA-BARBERA'S DESKS AND SAID "this IS WHAT I WANT!" I'm glad he did!

[@rapsnik]

Thank you for sharing the memory of what Saturday mornings were about. :)

[@melvinbell3119]

I wish that they would bring these types of cartoons back.

Fat chance. Everything has to have a moral or be benign.

[@blackrock1961]

It's Friday night as I write this. Full episodes for a lot of these shows can be found on KZbin. I'm tempted to create a playlist with a bunch of them and then get up early tomorrow morning, fire up the KZbin app on my smart TV and then sit on the floor in front of the tube (we used to call it that back then) with a bowl of Cap'n Crunch cereal.

Fredflix you know and remember back in the Day during the summer months before the start of the new fall season, the three networks would show previews bumpers to get us cartoon junkies excited blended with music jingles. I haven't seen any fall previews on KZbin but only one a few years ago called CBS cartooniverse that came out in the summer of 1967. can you find more like them. us kids are dying to see them again.

[@FredFlix]

Those are very hard to find and I know how you feel. I would like to see more myself. I'll see what I can dig up and if by chance I do find something like that, I'll certainly post it here.

[@AllisterH]

You might want to check old comics as well...I remember also that the comics in the center pages would have a double page spread of "what's coming this fall" and also an ad to watch the Friday one week before the start of the season for actual previews. I think the last time I saw something like that was the mid 90s. By the turn of the century, they no longer did that...

thanks so much for uploading ! on sat. mornings - to the great annoyance of my parents- i would get up to watch the tv test pattern ! after that, on to local cartoon programming- popeye, etc., 'til 9, and watch most of the cartoons you've included in this video- , and then shockingly- i went outside to play with my friends- for hours on end, completely unsupervised by adults ! ...it was another time, another place.

[@richelliott9320]

most of these were great but the greatest was Jonny Quest!

Agreed!

[@robertoabreuventura691]

[@DavidTSmith-jn5bs]

I loved that show as a kid as well, but, like The Flintstones, it started out as an evening show that went into reruns on Saturday mornings years later. They tried to reboot the series on Cartoon Network but I didn't like it very much.

[@DH-3on_sAm]

space ghost freakin awesome loved that show

[@thebatman0728]

Sat. Morning cartoons french toast and my blanket.. Omg !!! So glad i grew up in this era. Wonderful memories

[@jerseyoldschool]

Thank you for uploading this video! Great memories. I'm 56 years old now but was 5-6 years old in 1967-1968 and I remember watching most of these, but on a black & white Magnavox tv! KZbin is the first time I've seen most of these in color; my folks didn't get a color set until 1973! Hanna Barbera and Filmation were the bomb back in those days; Ted Knight was a busy man handling the narration on those Filmation shows. Although not mentioned in the video, my favorite cartoon from that time was the Lone Ranger/Tonto which, if I remember right, aired in NYC (WCBS Channel 2) on Saturday around noon or 1pm.

[@FredFlix]

Thanks for your comment, jerseyoldschool.

[@stevenbaer653]

I loved to watch Space Ghost, the Herculoids, Shazzan, Atom Ant, Aqua Man, the Flintstones, and tons of old time cartoons are the best?

Steven Baer. So true. Saturday mornings were the best. Good times back then.

Steven Baer Great times ,,here in Australia ,the 70 ,,long gone mate ,

[@jb20092009]

I loved the jazz scores used in the Hanna-Barbera cartoons. They went along with the Thrush-James Bondish nature of the villains in Jonny Quest and The Fantastic Four.

[@jb20092009]

Ok, so Doctor Doom was Soviet but his relationship with Reed Richards was the same as Batman (not counting the history change in the 1989 Batman movie) and The Joker...the villain was defaced by something nuclear.

I actually had a Shazzan Halloween costume one year.
