One I remember from the early 80's was Gary Coleman. He was an angel. The last celebrity animated show would probably be Jackie Chan Adventures.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

There were absolutely a handful more, and Gary Coleman was definitely one these, too. Thank you for the reminder. And yes, I totally agree about Jackie Chan being the end.

Hey, The Skatebirds, there they are 😆 Would love to find the _Mystery Island_ segments on physical media somewhere (and the Banana Splits _Danger Island_ shorts too), guess i need to get on that 😅

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Yeah, I wanted to make sure to call them out. I even remembered having their board game when doing this show. Yeah, wouldn't mind checking out those too.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

4:07, They would get a Spin-Off 2 or 3 Years later called "The Super Globetrotters"

[@kins749]

Laurel and Hardy was repeated on BBC throughout the early-mid 80s, remember it very well.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Really? Hard to find here in the USA after 1970, but occasionally, then vanished!

[@mgthestrange9098]

Yes, I remember it, wasn’t too keen on it. I used to get excited if I saw it on the listings or if the announcer said it was on next as I thought it was going to be one of the original films, which I loved. I would be disappointed to see it was the cartoon.

[@mr.pavone9719]

The Real Ghostbusters was the only movie tie in that was worth watching. They took the premise of thr movie and actually managed to make a series of stories that fit within that world rather than shoehorning a celebrity into a cliche situation. It also helped that they had some of the best voice casts ever with Arsenio Hall, Frank Welker, Maurice LeMarch and Lorenzo Music, Dave Coulier and Charlie Adler.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I give TRGH some serious credit for doing something so many shows could not. It was great.

[@KW-gb9cd]

The reason it was called "The Real Ghostbusters" was that a cartoon version of "The Ghost Busters," a kids' show from the 1970s, was airing in the '80s as "Filmation's Ghostbusters," and DIC wanted to distinguish their show from Filmation's.

[@dakkarjust]

I remember one cartoon that wasnt mentioned was the BRADY KIDS,, a cartoon spin off from the Brady Bunch...

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Totally remember it, and I do mentioned it in my earlier shows about Spin-Offs when Live Action TV Shows that were cartoons. These were mostly celebrities and from movies (except Addams Family which came from a cartoon strip). But please go back and see the Part 1 and 2 of those shows for more.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Sadly, influencers, lol.

[@mgthestrange9098]

The first one I thought of was Taylor Swift. It could be the stories behind the songs with a live performance of the song at the end. Or the further adventures of Beyoncé where she’s a super hero. 🤣

I remember Muhammed Ali cartoon, and recognized the reuse of it's opening in the Mr. T cartoon. I remember the cartoons from the Skatebirds, and the robonic 3 Stooges.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

They were very similar, true that. Skatebirds also had Mystery or Mysterious Island, or some other show. I had the Skatebird game, which I didn't remember until this show. Thanks for watching.

What about Punky Brewster and Hulk Hogan,and in the 80s

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I mention they continue into the 80s, for sure. There are still those based on celebrities and TV shows (not many), and some do sell toys and some don't. But I had to summarize at the end, lol. But you are correct.

[@Starrgroove]

Do you remember the episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies that featured Mama Cass? I remember the episode ended with her dining on grapefruits covered with hot fudge and marshmallow cream! 😆

[@kennethoats2322]

Great stuff, but you forgot the M.C. Hammer cartoon... and the only one of those cartoon Beatles that sounded the closest to his real life self was Paul 😆

[@GENXPERIENCE]

And I think that voice did 2, or maybe even 3 of the voices, lol. Yeah, MC Hammer is certainly a special entry...maybe close to the 90s, but still STAR POWERED. Thanks for watching.

[@5um0fMe]

I think every one of these was before my TV viewing days. I wish these had run reruns like Johnny Quest. I loved that show and delighted when it was parodied by The Venture Brothers and revived for an episode of Harvey Birdman, Atty at Law (both amazing shows that Gen Xers might appreciate just for the nostalgic references.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I enjoyed the J Quest reruns in the 70s for sure, but yeah...Birdman and Venture Brothers homages to them and others were priceless. So glad you watched. Hope you enjoyed.

It's worth noting that Lou Costello had died in the late 1950s; Bud Abbott, who lived on 'til 1974, agreed to voice his own character in the 1960s' cartoon because he was broke and needed the money. Costello's character was voiced by Stan Irwin.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That's a great point. I saw that Lou did not do his voice, but did not venture a guess. Sad to know Bud was broke, but that sounds a lot of those classic comedians who were taken advantage of. Thank you

Jackson 5 reran in syndication in the 90s, real ghostbusters was both syndicated and Saturday morning,

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That is interesting, I only could find Jackson 5 reran in 1984 and THEN on Disney and MTV for a short about of time. Yes, Ghostbusters, UNLIKE HE MAN, TRANSFORMERS, GI JOE, did run on Saturday at the same time it did on Weekdays. But as you probably are aware, most syndication was made for weekday.

[@jeffthekillercriticremixer5968]

Those cartoons would never be redone. Thank God for KZbin and streaming because other than that the kids would never have get to see any of these

[@GENXPERIENCE]

You got that right. Sad, but true.

[@mgthestrange9098]

I was wondering about the Jackson 5 cartoon. I’ve not saw it but the video for I want you back seems to be an edited version of one of the episodes. One of the J5 was drawn with brown hair rather than black, I found that a bit odd.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I think to give some variation to the characters, small color adaptations were made to help separate each brother from the other. Regarding the song, I am sure they had so many versions and renditions they could chose from and one may have fit the cartoon version better. But I am sure I do not know.

[@martykarr7058]

I don't know if it was planned or just a coincidence, but the black and white picture you show at 5:56 has I believe Key Luke, who played Charlie's #1 son in the movies AND did the voice of Charlie Chan in The Chan Clan.
