This is fascinating. I love it. In 1969, these cartoons and the ABC Super Saturday Club were so important to me. I loved the cartoons, the commercials, the whole feeling of it. I'd get up every Saturday morning, grab that bowl of cereal and glass of orange juice, and plant myself in front of the TV. The cartoons took me away. My crazy parents would not allow me to play sports, and all of my friends would be off those mornings playing in little league or other sports. So the whole neighborhood would be empty. But at least those mornings, I had these cartoons. Thanks so much for uploading this.
If you had toast, then you’d have all the ingredients of a nutritious breakfast. I did the same thing. Saturday morning cartoons were can’t-miss. And the commercials were as good as the shows. Schoolhouse Rock, Time for Timer PSA’s were also great. Loved the cartoons back then.
Same......I just hated when noon came around, which meant the end of the cartoons for that Saturday. Then Sunday, the only thing to look forward too was the wolfman, on the sunday morning show that for the life of me, I can't remember the name of. Wolfman, Frankenstein , Alvira et al....... great childhood memories. Things were so much simpler & BETTER back then. None of that woke B.s, & sick ideology polluting our minds! Just great childrens programming. UNLIKE what the propaganda ABC is spewing today. What a collapse, what a shame, what a DISGRACE!
As a kid (I grew up through the 70's and early 80's), I watched the reruns of these shows...but my memories are of Johnny Quest, Spiderman, Incredible Hulk (all animated), Scooby Doo, Hong Kong Phoey (my sister and I LOVED that show). Tarzan, Star Trek (animated series), The Superfriends (original), Thundar the Barbarian, Space Ghost......too many to mention. WHen the Cartoon Network first broke out, I'm pretty sure I have whole weekends lost watching reruns of those shows while I was in college/grad school, haha.
@@ScorpioBornIn69 You can say 80s and 90s I suppose. Though they really ended for each of us individually as we grew out of them. Nor were they the same from one decade to the next. A real tribute to commercial industry, (sarcasm).
It's a damn shame they don't show cartoons on Saturday morning anymore. But, all of those cartoons are on RU-vid now, it's like a time capsule back to childhood.
Born in 1964 and that intro to the Casper show took me back about as far as anything ever has, I had forgotten about the intro but instantly remembered it.
In 1969 I was 6yrs old so these cartoons molded me as a little girl integrating schools in 1968 Berkeley. My class was the first in the nation too be bused to schools from kindergarten to twelfth grade. Love it.
60s baby here and I miss school 🏫 House Rock, Super friends and Bugs Bunny. I remember when the Electric 📺 Company on PBS even did Spiderman. Saturday morning were never the same.
Seven year old me with a bowl of cereal or a pop tart or pastry-go-round and Saturday morning cartoons in my jammies and fuzzy slippers those were the best days! I wish I had a time machine! ❤😊
Fun fact: The voice of the narrator as well as team commander Jonathan Kidd was provided by Ted Knight. Before gaining fame as Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore show, he was primarily known as a voice actor. In fact, he provided the voice of the Joker in the 1960s Batman animated series. Wonder how many knew that one!
He's the dad in the series "To Close For Comfort", from the early '80's (I think). The one with the two, teenage girls. He plays a military guy, or a scientist on an episode of 'The Outer Limits', titled "The Invisible Enemy"!!! An excellent episode (one of my favorites)!!
@@rogerrendzak8055 Sadly, "Too Close For Comfort" did not last long. In an effort to bolster rating, the network changed the title to "The Ted Knight Show" part way through its run - something Ted vehemently protested, but to no avail. Nor did it do any good - the show was canceled soon after. Yes, Ted did knock around a bit before gaining fame on the Mary Tyler Moore show. I was absolutely startled when I caught him in an episode of McHale's Navy.
Wow, that is quite nostalgic, I was 10 years old when I watched these cartoons very early in Saturday morning. I would quietly wake up very early in the morning (contrary when I had to wake up during school days). Sneak in the living room, set the volume low, & turn on the TV; & hope I didn't wake up my parents after a long work week for them & now wanted to sleep through the morning. Memories... miss those time.
My late dad used to say then that we spent "too much time in front of the idiot box". Saturday cartoons was a must see for us preteens of the late 60s. Looking back I kinda have to agree with my dad.
Oh my gosh 😮 you had me at the Quisp & Quake commercial. I was born in 1964 and I remember watching these cartoons when they were first aired. I’m gonna buy a box of Cap’n Crunch cereal tonight and watch these tomorrow morning (Saturday). Thank you 😊
I graduated in 1969 but was still watching cartoons.😄 And I still watch them. I keep my eyes open for my childhood toons Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, pretty much all Hanna Barbera, and of course Warner Bros. and Disney.
I feel like all of my friends are here!! I was born in 1960, and in 1967-1971, I lived in Clarence, New York, I was up at 7 AM every Saturday morning to get my box of Honeycomb or Sugar Smacks or a Kellogg's Danish Go Round, and to sit in my favorite chair and watch all of my cartoons. It was especially great when it was snowing outside and the Christmas tree was up. I turn 64 next week and I'm watching these cartoons right now, there's 6 inches of snow on the ground, and I have a fire in my fireplace! These cartoons take me back to a time in my life that was the greatest time in my life!!
I was 9 in 1969 and I never knew there was a smokey the bear cartoon til today either lol. Maybe what you saw depended on where you lived. I had bugs bunny, casper, journey to the center of the earth, scooby doo, batman superman hour, here comes the grump, banana splits and shazam.
@@Izumi-sp6fp lol I remember all the cartoons you mentioned:) but smokey that's still new one for me😁 the good thing is we both grew up watching the best cartoon on Saturday morning:)
This is SO WONDERFUL, thank you for sharing!! My husband and I are going to watch it together. In 1969, I was 9, he was 10. We watched these Saturday morning cartoons, Yes, Every Saturday morning!! Haven’t seen them in a very long time but remember them all and can’t wait to watch! This brings great joy. So many cherished memories from another time, a beautiful time. Thank you so much again for sharing.
@@theobserver9131 Well said. This type of statement is from people who never assumed the responsibility of beung an adult. Such a common comment, like when they say something is underrated. They think it will get likes.
@@theobserver9131 There are psycho-developmental reasons people often view their growing up yrs as comfortable, safe, and the most desirable. That said, these are worse times by far. We’re entering a period of techno-dystopia. The late 60’s, early 70’s certainly had problems and were not perfect, but life then seemed far more real, especially to those with deep sensibility.
My brothers and I would watch these every saturday. I remember these shows though our favorite was the Banana Splits. I even remember some of the commercials. Cartoonsday was always a happy day for us.
The ultratalented late great Paul Winchell was both a top notch Comic Voice Actor and Ventriloquist. He was also a respected Inventor who invented an Artificial Heart Pump in 1975. A true Renaissance Man.😂😉🎤❣📺B.W.
I remember my brother and I joining the ABC Super Saturday Club (I was 8, he was 7), and getting a small pennant, some buttons and stickers and some other things. They ended the program fairly soon, and sent a letter offering a few premium items to get instead. I got a record album "Footsteps on the Moon" and my brother got a book of jungle animal photos.
I love it! First time hearing about the ABC Super Saturday Club and I think it's just so...free. It was clearly a Golden Age for Aviation as well as Animation! Go Ardith!!
Thank you for this terrific and ginormous upload!! Instant time travel back to my mid-teens when I was more than happy to let my parents fret about all the big stuff while I just focused on getting decent grades at skool and having fun the rest of the time. I can't recall a single thing that was more exhilarating as a kid than waking up and suddenly realizing it was Saturday morning!!
Saturday cartoons were always the best. Then get dressed take in American bandstand/Soul train. Followed with a jump on that banana seat stingray and ride the neighborhood. So much fun back then!!
I was born in 71. I had no idea Smokey the Bear had his own cartoon. These weee some great ones. And like everyone else, I love these commercials. I took my 11 year old to the grocery store the other day and I couldn’t believe they carried Count Chocula, Frankenberry and Boo Berry. Growing up as a child, it was always upsetting that my local grocery store never had Boo Berry. So I know it existed but had never seen it before. And now here they all were, right next to each other. I tried to explain how cool this was and how monumental but my kid couldn’t care less 😮
@@MoneMedia 😂😂😂 is that you? Freaking GENIUS! The cereal man says it tastes the same! Totally forgot about Strawberry shortcake and strawberry honeycomb. Best strawberry cereal might have to be strawberry frosted mini wheats followed by honey bunches of oats with strawberry if that counts. Loves the commercials for these back in the day and the cereal man is hilarious. Why is he wasting so much milk?! Way out of proportion! Love the milk spilled on the counter. See that’s because too much milk is used! Should be a 3:1 ratio of cereal to milk.
I was born in 1960. I’d like to know how many pounds of Trix and Lucky Charms I ate when I was a kid. All us girls loved Barbies (I got the latest creation every year for Christmas) and my brother lived for Matchbox cars & GI Joe. I must have been a CBS watcher, I remember Casper & the Monkees but not the rest of the cartoons. Most of the commercials are familiar though. Oh to be a kid again!
It's safe to say that I probably haven't seen the intro to the new Casper show since I was 11 in 69 and regularly watched Saturday morning cartoons with my younger bro and sis. My 11 year old self has been resurrected. Scary.
As a child of the 60's and 70's my greatest joy and anticipation were the ads and announcements for upcoming Saturday Morning cartoons!! The ones I look forward to were the ARCHIES, SCOOBY DOO and SUPERMAN and BATMAN and SUPER FRIENDS!! I would sleep on family sofa so I could wake up before dawn to watch the new cartoons on the only Color Television in the house!!! What great memories.
My brother and I would get up early, turn on the TV, which would be just "snow", then hide behind the sofa with our blankets, him directly over the heat register, and wait to hear the National Anthem, which signaled the beginning of the days broadcasting. Then it was over the top and onto the sofa, a big bowl of sugary cereal and the beginning of the morning festivities. Good stuff!
I miss sitting in the big rocking chair, (1962) holding a box of my favorite sugary cereal and watching the test pattern on our big old Sylvania b/w tv and waiting for the first cartoon to come on one of our 3 available tv channels. Such anticipation! (Most cereals are made in Mexico now and don’t taste or feel the same. Especially Captain Crunch. )
So strange. I was born in the summer of '69. And many of these cartoons were hot during my childhood in the early 70's. I remember all of them now. My memory is nearly strong as it ever was, borderline eidetic. Yet so few seem aware of them now. And many of them seem to willingly forget them in favor of their new memories. If your mind is neurologically strong you can live in both the old & new world. Don't be afraid to remember the joys of your past.💝
Thank you for the look back into time. Up at first light every Saturday a.m., plopped on the floor in front of the 3 channel (maybe 4 on a good day) black and white tv, bowl of cereal - week after week. Life was simpler, cheaper & safer.
I was born waaaayyy past this era, but I'm A huge sucker for old animation! I love this! Its so cool to see some old animation without waiting for the tv to show some.
In the opening scene I remember every one of those except "Skyhawks". I recall HOT WHEELS well, with some bad guy named Dexter Demon (Hot Wheels had a car by that name).
I was born in 67; Smokey the Bear and The Mighty Hercules were my two favorite cartoons; the Rankin & Bass animation style was comparable to the early anime styles
Agree, 76 was my year to appear but they still played some of this when I was young. One of the first generations to have access to this much memory. For the better and worse. This is the better.
Wow, check Maureen McCormick, out @2:45:35😲!! That's the youngest, I've ever seen her!!! This is approximately 1 year before, the "Brady Bunch", series opener. My baby doll 😏💘!!!
I have vague memories of these shows but remember all of those breakfast cereals. I have Quisp cycling socks for when I'm waxing nostalgic. Thanks for posting.
We as kids weren't allowed to watch TV except for on Saturday night and Sunday evenings so I had to sneak TV at my friends. Born in 61 so I did remember some of these,thankyou for sharing my childhood luxuries😁
Great memories of such simpler times. I was 7 in 1969. Remember almost all these cartoons. Loved Quisp and Quake and Kaboom. Had a million Hot Wheels and miles of track . Even had those. Banana Split hand puppets .
Absolutely must thank you for creating a 1969 line up; like magic my sister born that year dropped in for a visit last night and loved it all! It was like an month early birthday tv party.
This is wonderful..I missed out on this by a few years.. I'm definitely a CBS kid but I can appreciate this and the commercials.. Thank you for placing the right commercials with the shows!
I always ♥ my favorite ABC Super Saturday Club on ABC Station WMAL Channel 7 in Washington, DC. When I was live in West Lanham Hills-Hyattsville,MD. When I used to watch it when I was 4 years old in my age all this ⏲!!!. - Krista Venise Jones
These are about the earliest cartoons and commercials I remember, I was 3 years old in Feb 69. The thing I remember about this year was I was fascinated when the decade turned to the 70's. A decade seems like a lot of time to a 3 year old lol. Also my teen cousin were full on hippies, I didn't understand that at all, my old man was Fonzie literally. He was an auto mechanic and still wore the leather jacket and greased hair into the 70's, and kids used to approach him and think he was Fonzie well into the 70's lol. My baby sister was born this year too, so this was one of the best years of my life. I love that you included the commercials, that was a part of the experience and put's the cartoons in historical perspective..
I was a kid watching cartoons in 1969, every Saturday morning. But the only 2 out of this lineup that I watched and remember are Hot Wheels and Sky Hawks, both of which I loved. There must've been better ones on the other channels for the other time slots.
I was born in 66 I remember more starting in 75 but ABC was the network for cartoons. Love the commercials all those cereals remember them and the prizes you got. Thanks for this
Thanks so much Mone Media for posting these cool cartoons from 1969 and the great commercials. Great job! Since I was born in 1962, I was 7 in 1969, I remember many of these cartoons and commercials, my favorite cartoon from this line up was Fantastic Voyage (inspired by the Isaac Asimov book and the movie Fantastic Voyage from 1966) I loved the science in it, it had the best animation, music, production and voice over work in my opinion. In July 1969, I remember being glued to the TV set, I was mesmerized watching the Apollo 11 moon landing and watching Neil Armstrong (an Eagle Scout and later I earned this same rank of Eagle Scout myself) and Buzz Aldrin go out from the Lunar Module and walk on the moon; a very inspiring and exciting moment of history, just incredible, quite an achievement! The Apollo 11 astronauts were brave (one of the 12 points of the Scout Law) during that entire mission for sure. 1969 was a very memorable year, I’ll always remember it! I look forward to any cartoon line ups like these before 1969 would be great, thanks so much!
I dig that Mone Media, whatever you can find from the 60s with this same format of commercials and cartoons would be groovy and fantastic! Thanks so much and good luck, wish you the best!
Just imagine, television networks actually produced enough new episodes of each program to run every week into the next year. We didn't have cable in the small Canadian city where I lived, therefore the antenna and rotor system we had picked-up a few of the American TV stations from Buffalo and Rochester. All of those glorious toys, cereals and gadgets advertised in the commercials on Saturday morning, most of which were never available at the stores where I lived kept me riveted to the TV from 6am to 12pm. After that I headed-out on my 3-speed bike with the banana seat and stick-shift gear-changer to see what was going-on in the neighborhood.
@@msmithca1 I can see that for Saturday morning stuff. Yet I do remember the network shows like sitcoms, drama serials and the rest always began their repetitive rotation the next year before March Break.
@@msmithca1 Do you remember the 'Planet of the Apes' network TV show in '74. It ended before Christmas that year and never repeated its episodes again. As did the animated Saturday morning 'Return to the Planet of the Apes' cartoon. Something I was looking for back-in-the-day.
I was born in 1965 I remember some these old cartoons from the late 60s like the Go go gophers and the Archies...at 5 yrs old in 1970 and 1971 I remember the Groovy Ghoulies...Josie and the pussycats...The Jackson 5 cartoon and the Osmonds cartoon...the weird world of Sid and Marty Krofft...Scooby Doo...Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner show...great memories...cartoons continued good into the 70s and 80s...by 1992 or 93 cartoons were gone from Saturday mornings.
This is my mecca. Being 7 and a Hot Wheels/Airplane nut Super Saturday is perhaps the pinnacle of my life😂. GREAT job. I've made playlists like this one mimicking Super Saturday, not as good or free flowing as this. Lot of work, well worth it. I wish the Super Saturday jingle was on yt I still think I remember the first line, "Super Saturday is lots of fun..."
At my house, at this time, between my brother and I, whoever got up first got to control the TV (this was even before remote controls) and watch what we wanted, but we only had THREE networks, not counting PBS. It was amazing that we COULD wake up at 5-6 AM on a weekend, but struggled to wake up for school during the week! Great times!!
This is golden. The commercials for cereals are the best. Trix rabbit, I felt so bad for him. He never got his Trix. I think they had the kis vote on it and he still lost. Never got his Trix. BTW the quality of this transfer is top notch for 1969. Amazing.
Yes, as a kid I felt very sorry for the Trix Rabbit. I wanted to buy cereal just to share it with him! Clever way to grab sympathetic kids. We sure were smoothly manipulated, weren't we? And enjoyed it greatly the whole time. Commercials were such fun
@@ShakepearesDaughter I think that we were groomed by media our whole lives. Commercials were so entertaining. Type in Daws Butler for So Lo Milk. They are well written and animated.
I was 4 when all these first aired and funny thing is I remember all these shows even the ones that I did not look at such as Smokey the Bear, Cattanooga Cats, and a couple of others. Hell I remember almost all of these commercials too.
Thanks so much Mone Media for posting this series of wonderful Saturday morning cartoons (plus the cool commercials) from 1969, great job! I was 7 years old back then, a very exciting time, watching the Apollo 11 moon landing on TV and many of these great and memorable cartoons. I can remember going swimming at the South Pasadena Municipal Plunge for ten cents, it was a public swimming pool. Brings back a lot of fond memories, thank you, I really appreciate it and keep up this great work you do!
Some of these seem they were much earlier than 69 (New Casper cartoon show). Some like Smokey the Bear I don't even recall, but some I didn't watch do to thinking it was to korny. Some of the adds were still black and white, but didn't matter all I ever saw were these in black and white. Didn't have color tv until 71. I was 12 in 69. 60's Saturday cartoons were the best.
As I look at the time frame of this lineup. I was 9 years old and Hurricane Camille hit the MS gulf coast and my family and I road out the storm in our home in Bay St Louis 2 blocks off the beach. Early 70s for me was playing outside in all of the blown down trees. Tv wasn't possible. The lack of electricity and water didn't help. But I did have the coolest Fort till they came to clean up the area.
