Cartoon Ads Branded in the 8. So while I was spelunking though crap comic book bins at my local Book Nook looking for old Hostess ads, I kept running across other ads that I thought would be fun to share on the site. In particular I kept passing over some familiar Saturday Morning Cartoon ads, mostly for the later 8. NBC lineup, and nothing I hadnt seen before a million times while reading back issues of Ambush Bug and the Uncanny X Men. Then I caught sight of an ad Id never seen before, one for ABC in 1. I began to wonder if there were ads for all the big stations, ABC, CBS, and NBC, for every year. So the search began anew, and I started digging for cartoon ads, year by year, and I managed to find a decent amount. Unfortunately I couldnt find one for every station or for every year during the 8. Ill be damned if I can find them, and Ive run out of cheap resources, so thisll have to do for now. Without further ado I present the Essential Saturday Morning Cartoon Ads, Vol. This first ad is for ABCs cartoon lineup form 1. Though I was only two years old at the time, I do remember watching my fare share of both the Super Friends and the Plastic Man show. I also, of course, watched plenty of Scooby Doo, especially the Scrappy Doo episodes. I remember distinctly wanting to murderize Scrappy on many occasions. I dont remember ever seeing any of the additional Plastic Man cartoons like Fang Face, Rickety Rocket or Mighty Man and Yukk, so Im thinking maybe I caught Plas later when it was edited down or something. Im dying to see some of the Spider Woman cartoon and have been since I used to stare at the one video copy my Blockbuster used to stock, though I never did rent it for some weird reason. This CBS ad, also from 1. I remember seeing on TV as a kid. I definitely remember Mighty Mouse, Heckle and Jeckle, and, like Scooby Doo, obviously I remember watching the Looney Tunes. Scooby Doo and the Looney Tunes are pretty damn timeless though, and I think in one form or another have been playing since they were introduced in the 6. Paul Robert Soles born 11 August 1930 is a Canadian actor and television personality. He is also a voice actor, starring in series such as The Marvel Super Heroes. SpiderMan is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writereditor Stan Lee and writer. Thats also the worst miss coloring on Foghorn Leghorn Ive ever seen. The second half of this ad is pretty foreign to me though, at least for the time. The first Popeye show I remember watching was the Popeye and Son revamp that came a few years after this, though Im sure I caught some of the really old stuff at one time or another. Though I do remember seeing an episode or two of Fat Albert, I want to say that it wasnt on Saturday morning, but instead part of another show like Pinwheel, the Electric Company, or Kaptain Kangaroo or something. Bill Cosby was pretty much all over the place in the 8. Picture Pages and his appearances on the Electric Company, so I might be getting this mixed up. I didnt discover Jason of Star Command until this past year from reading a bunch of other blogs like Bubblegum Fink.

As far as that bottom rung of shows, Im completely baffled. IGNs Editors count down the 100 animated series. Ive never seen any of those and Im surprised that there was a Batman show on ABC and CBS simultaneously. Now in 1. 98. 0, with this ABC ad, were getting into more familiar territory. Other than the crazy Fonz and the Happy Days Gang cartoon, I watched all of these shows. The introduction of Thundarr is pretty sweet, and goes to show that there was certainly precedent set before the Masters of the Universe toy line hit shelves 1. Star Wars Tie Fighter Cartoon Out. Roger Sweets chagrin. Now, is that supposed to be Joni in the Happy Days cartoon Cause thats a Joni that I could love like so many Chachis. CBSs lineup didnt change much in 1. Im really keen on some of the additions. Though Ive never seen it, Im really interested in the Drac Pack show. Im curious if its in line with something like the Groovie Goolies It sounds a lot more action packed, though Im not sure how much, seeing as the rebirth of the Action Cartoon was still a couple years off. I also notice that Batman, Freedom Force, and Jason of Star Command were replaced by the Lone Ranger show. I dont remember that one either, though I did have some of the toys that came out around then. I dug the hell out of the Lone Ranger toy because, if I remember correctly, his pistols would fit in his holsters, which was very uncommon for 3. I wonder why they even bothered to throw in that bit about the 3. Minutes of news spot at 1 3. What self respecting kid was watching news highlights on Saturday mornings Well, apparently NBC was in direct competition with CBS, as they both had variations on the Looney Tunes, and then NBC also introduced the Frankenstones, I assume to offset the Drac Pack. Their lineup was pretty heavily, classic Hanna Barbera laden, what with the Jetsons, the Flintstones, the Herculoids, and Space Ghost. Crazy, it was like a regular Boomerang on NBC in 1. Now, I couldnt find an ABC ad for 1. I think the lineup stayed relatively the same, though I believe that Laverne and Shirley was added as a spin off addition to the Happy Days cartoon much in the same way the original show was spun off of the live action Happy Days show. CBS on the other hand dropped Heckle and Jeckle, the Drac Pack, and Tarzan in favor of some new blood including, Zorro, Blackstar I assume to compete with ABCs airings of Thundarr, the Trollkins, and the Kwicky Koala Show, none of which Im all that familiar with. I had a few of the Blackstar toys, which I mentioned when I talked about the Blackstar puffy stickers, but other than that I dont know much about these new shows. I know that Zorro, much like the Lone Ranger was at least strong enough to get one toy line release, but pretty much CBS is a mystery to me at age 4. I notice theyre still pimping the weekly news highlights though. In 1. 98. 1 NBC began to feel like more familiar ground in terms of my personal nostalgia for Saturday morning cartoons, what with the introduction of the Smurfs and Spider Man  His Amazing Friends. I can recall associating the Spider Man theme song, in particular, with waking up on the weekends. Apparently, ABC was all about spinning off cartoon versions of their popular 7. Happy Days, Laverne  Shirley, and Mork  Mindy all with animated counterparts. Mmmm, animated Pam Dawber. ABC also dove into programming based on video games with the introduction of Pac Man. I wonder which station was playing QBert and Donkey Kong in the 8. Well well get to that. Not to be outdone on the sitcom to cartoon conversion front, CBS introduced a Gilligans Island cartoon in 1. They also ditched half of the previous years lineup including all the news shows from 1. Zorro, the Trollkins, and that weird Koala show. I guess they were feeling boxed in by the other networks and were focusing on competition rather than sticking with new ideas, though they did introduce two new shows, the panda themed Pandamonium, and Meatballs and Spaghetti not familiar with either. I didnt find an ad for NBC for 1. I believe they added the Shirt Tales to the lineup as well as an Incredible Hulk cartoon. How do I know that Context clues. For 1. ABC ditched all of its sitcom cartoon spin offs in favor of some new material including a show based on the Rubiks Cube, one on the Monchhichis, an awesome Littles cartoon, and the crazy Menudo show. Can you pick out Ricky Martin from this horribly printed adFor 1. NBC ditched its classic Hanna Barbera lineup in favor of a half and half mix between action and cutsey. With the introduction of the Mr. T cartoon, added to their Spider ManHulk hour and the Thundarr cartoon, they were going pretty strong with action. This was balanced by the introduction of Alvin and the Chipmunks, which joined by the Smurfs, the Shirt Tales and the Flintstones, whoch would fill out the more cute and cuddly earlier morning hours. Though I didnt find a CBS ad for 1. I can tell by this 1.
