and there you have it all the great CBS Saturday Morning Cartoons from the past 80 years but we remember a lot when we were kids back then but I remember them all when it time for a commercial when we eat our breakfast cereals when the cartoons had to come back with a title from a CBS Saturday Morning Cartoon Show like Will Return After These Messages, then Will Return After In The News and These Messages, then Will Return, then And Now Back To the title of a CBS Saturday Morning Cartoon Show, then at the end of the cartoon the announcer say And Now These Messages, and finally at the end of the cartoon when all of your favorite CBS Saturday Morning Cartoon Characters and CBS Saturday Morning Live Action TV Stars when they say Next! Another Interesting Story that's In The News and that was 80 years of CBS Saturday Morning TV but in a couple years to come CBS will turn 80!

[SF4Ever]

Nowadays, some CBS affiliates schedule its now Weekend morning line-up on Sunday mornings. With that, CBS has had to adapt to announcing its lineup with this announcement, "Weekends on CBS".

[veemonjosh]

I love how 50=80.

I remember them all

The other thing I find hilarious about your threads is that you claim to remember all the shows, even though you're only 30.

[Dr. Dave]

Well, I remember quite a few of these, especially from the 60's and 70's. I used to be 30, once, I think, what was your name again? :D

[J'onn J'onzz]

I love how you're getting nostalgic over watching the news on Saturday mornings.

[jcorey3]

It's easy to remember these shows since they were endless rerun over the years and didn't consist of that many episodes.

[ltnut]

80 years ago would have been 1927. TV was nowhere near being far enough along to be anywhere outside of the labs where it was being developed. CBS came into existence as a radio network that same year. They became involved in TV in the 40's, but it was actually 1948 before network TV was available on a wide scale. So at best you could possibly say that Saturday morning programming had been around 60 years.

[veemonjosh]

80 years ago would have been 1927. TV was nowhere near being far enough along to be anywhere outside of the labs where it was being developed.

Then explain how BBC had a channel up and running around that time.

[SpaceCowboy]

Then explain how BBC had a channel up and running around that time.BBC was a very early adopter of TV broadcasting and was ahead of the rest of the world. Their service though was only available to a select few who were rich enough to buy TV sets. I think the only kids programming they ran though were Mickey Mouse cartoons from Disney in the 1930's, which is what the tour guide told me when I visited their London studios several years ago.

[Daikun]

CBS didn't launch its TV station until 1950. Why'd you say "80 years" in the title?

I didn't know much about BBC's TV history. My main point was that TV in the US was in its experimental stages until the late 30's, but then World War II hit and it was delayed until the war had ended.

CBS didn't launch its TV station until 1950. Why'd you say "80 years" in the title?

The local CBS station in your area may have not started until 1950, but 1948 was the big year that network TV from the 4 networks at that time (CBS, NBC, ABC, and Dumont) became available on a large scale.

Still sure as hell wasn't "80 years ago". :shrug:

[zoombie]

I remember CBS's saturday morning lineup in the 1980's, I almost never missed it. Those were the good old days.

[J'onn J'onzz]

Honestly, I've never really watched CBS Saturday mornings... in the 90s/early 2000s I always watched Fox Kids and Kids WB instead...
I love how 50=80.



The other thing I find hilarious about your threads is that you claim to remember all the shows, even though you're only 30.
Yeah, it is pretty funny that he's essentially saying "I remember eighty years ago, in 1950, over 20 years before I was born, watching Captain Kangaroo." It's just so inconsistant.

[Brainatra]

To nitpick further, Saturday morning television didn't really take off on all three big networks until the mid-1960s; before then, cartoons were mostly on weekday afternoons / early evenings, though some were on on Saturday mornings.

[Eric Brown]

Having been around long enough to have sat in front of the TV and actually watched all of this stuff, I think the best years for CBS were the Fred Silverman years. The middle 60's to early 70's. The "CBS SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONIVERSE" years. The catch jingle; "Men of the Future, Men of the Past, A Whale and a Genie it's a Super Blast!!!...... Saturday Morning CBS Cartooniverse !!!".

Also, I believe it was CBS that aired the half hour live action "Roy Rogers Show" on Saturday mornings.

Also missing from the list, are the Jonny Quest re-runs, that started in the '67/68 season.

THANX

[Steve Carras]

The Saturday AM show I fondly enjoy were produced up until the middle 1960s!

They were, in addition to the usual Hanna-Barbera, Warners,Lantz, Harvey,
and Ward classics..


"Abbott and Costello" (Hanna-Barbera; one of the last good cartoon series,iirc, though of course not THE BEST, but a great use of color styling and Curtin-Nichols music, and that breif but fun, jazzy, type of open..pan back as we hear comedian Stan Irwin as Costello.."Heyyyyy YAbbott"!)_

"Alvin Show"(Format-Bagadasrain-KInney; not to be confused of course, with the Ruby and Spears/Murikami-Wolf-Swenson/Dic 1980s series; though MWS DID give us the Point in the ealry 70s and that one perennial television commercial "How many Licks"..on which I've posted as the latest offering to this wacked out forum!; gave us Clyde Crashcup; btw speaking of connections to Murakami etc. him and that "How many Licks" Tootsie Pop owl sound similiar though it's not the same; the original David Seville aka Ross Bagdasarian was all four main voices, the title man and the three 'munks,aired in early 60s on CBS nights for a year 1961-1962 then on Saturdays till 1965!)

"Beany and Cecil" (the classic Clampett animated series, based on the 40s-50s puppet series whcih attracted many celebrity fans and guests, some of whom were behinbd the microphone in the animated cartoon).

"Bozo Cartoons" (in addition to fun with Bozo live those Larry Harmon voices and carotons appeared,some used the Capitol (Bozo's home--great choice) stock cues from other shows here and six 1958 WB cartoons and so many other shows as often referred to) - like a George Hormel one and a John Seely one in "Charlie Horse of a Another Colo(u)r"..during the 1980s when these were reissued by Columbia's Magic Unicorn label on video tape VHS tape, they were the butt of inappropiate "Man/Johnny Quest" innuendo becuase a little boy and a CLOWN hang out :mad: (methinks these jokers must have heard Dr.Demento's Kinko song too often.) . I enjoy the catchy Bozo themes.)

"Crusader Rabbit" (There were the late 40s-50s Jay Ward version and the 1950s Creston Studios version produced under the TV Spots umbrella.The latter is what was shown when I grew up since the earlier was B&W.)


"Felix the Cat" (Felix the Cat Productions Trans-Lux series by Joe Oriolo. With Jack Mercver as EVERYONE.POIND-DEXTER..!)


"Gumby"(the classic ORIGINAL three 1956,1962,1964-1969 series)

"Hoppity Hooper/Uncle Waldo" (Jay Ward,1964. forgotten Fox, frog, and Bear classic with Hans Conreid and Paul Frees.)


"King and Odie" (Total Television's first series, done with Creston TV Spots, then Gamma, using Winston Sharples cues!)

"Laurel and hardy" (Hanna and Barbera,Larry Harmon, who had bought all rights in 1961 or earlier, and David Wolper coproduced. Harmon did one of the voices!)

"Linus the Lionhearted" (The old Ed Graham/Format Films coproduced Post licensed informercial---I mean, cartoon series :p
---featured Sheldon Leonard as the voice of Linus (among this Emmy-winning teleivison comedy and action (I Spy) producer's animation credits are
hsi voicing Warner Bros.Cartoons "Dodsworth the Cat", and he voiced radio characters and was a bartender in "It's a Wonderful Life'.), Carl Reiner as Sasha the Grouse,Dinny the Kangaroo and a number of other characters, Jesse White as Rory Raccoon and Claudius Crow, and others Ruth Buzzi as Grnany Goodwich, Gerry Matthews ala superstar crooner Bing Crosby as only surviving cerealmascot of the bunch, Sugar Bear, Terrytoon, Hal Seeger, King Feature Syndicate and Rankin-Bass regular Robert McFadden as Lovable Truly (who resembles Stelring Holloway and Groucho Marx!) , and series director and producer Ed Graham himself as Billy Bird, and Ben Stiller celeb comic parents Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller (Stiller and Meara) and Paul Frees, as well as Frederica Weber, additional voices..and also "Bashful Bigshots" as credited,providing additional voices. Other well known staff were Johnny Mann with his singers, and I THINK Virgil Ross, Ken Southworth, and just about EVERYONE in animation animating, and Irv Spector supervising, and Disney's Clyde Gerenonimi! Plus Hoyt Curtin score music, moonlighting from Hanna Barbera, thus his absence there back then!)


"Snuffy SMith" (Paramount-Harvery and King-Paul Frees did Snuffy in the classic Kign Feratures series)

[BartWinkle]

In the 60s section, even though it originally ran in first-run syndication, you could add "Quick Draw McGraw", for it had a three-year run on the eye net from 1963-66. That's how I first heard of the character.

[Dub]

Wow.

Compared to everything else the 2000's era looks pathetic.

Saturday morning TV has really taken a nosedive, hasn't it? Kids WB and Fox Box are really all that's left.

[jay12m]

Yeah, i think the very last saturday morning cartoon i watched was pirates of dark water or capt bucky o hare. After that sat mornings just died a slow death...:sad:

[John Dorian]

Wow.

Compared to everything else the 2000's era looks pathetic.

Dude, where have YOU been? Kids WB! is dead in Sept. 2008 and Fox Box changed it name to 4Kids in 2005, which syndicates their crap on there.

[Dub]

i haven't BEEN anywhere. I know all about that. I'm only using the old names out of force of habit and I know all about the oncoming KWB death.

[hobbyfan]

I don't recall Bill & Ted's Excellent Advs. airing on CBS. It was a Fox show as I recall.

I think the fellow who started this thread is a little dyslexic, which would explain 80 years instead of 50.

[Brainatra]

Bill and Ted aired for a season (animated by Hanna-Barbera), then moved to Fox where it aired for a second season (animated by DIC, with the H-B episodes soon joining it in reruns).

[DrTooth]

[quote=Dub;2733204Compared to everything else the 2000's era looks pathetic.

[/quote]

Indeed it has. thanks to the FCC which both killed children's TV and holds it in place. the 2000 ear (until last year) consisted of Viacom owned junk. Well, not junk, exactly. I did like seeing Hey Arnold and Pelswick and stuff. But the crappy Nick Jr line up just to keep the FCC's required TV EI law was one of the biggest blows to Saturday mornings. I will say, there is the progress of new shows (considering CBS and Viacom split) like Sushi Pack. At least they aren't second rate cable network hand me downs.

But hardly the amazing 50's-late 90's history the network has had.

[Pamela Isley]

I remember most of those cartoons from the 80s, but the one that sticks out most in my mind was Clue Club from the 70s. Woofer and Wimper were awesome!

[Kenny E. McCall]

I know one thing, if Joseph Barbera and William Hanna were running the Federal Communications Commission, I don't think those a-holes there would be implementing those sucky laws. But then, Hanna and Barbera are now dead.

As for CBS cartoons, I thought Pandamonium was strange for an 80's cartoon.

And Pam, some teenage girl with an ugly hairstyle and connection to Barbara Gordon has taken over your Flora Lounge and misappropriated your name and flowery identity! What you gonna do about it?

[Pamela Isley]

Hmmmm, sounds like someone wants to throw down. :D Imitation maybe a form of flattery, but nothing beats the real thing. ;):D

[Kenny E. McCall]

OOOOOHH YEEEAAHHH!!! But I think your old voice actress, Diane Pershing, has the new girl, Piera Coppola, covered already. You have nothing to worry about, Pamela ;)

and there you have it all the great CBS Saturday Morning Shows from the past 80 years but I wish all of you can write a letter to him!

[ThePeterNetwork]

I got an Ideal we can write a letter to Leslie Moonves because he is the Chief Executive Officer and President of CBS Television and we can all make a large banner so we can draw all the CBS Saturday Morning Cartoon Characters with the list of all the CBS Saturday Morning Cartoon Shows from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and today that we are going to mail it to him at CBS because he is going to love it with all the CBS Saturday Morning Cartoon Shows from the list:

Um, yeah. The only thing Leslie Moonves will do with that letter is file it away in the folder marked "Things I Will Never Ever Do Ever For CBS Television Ever."

[DrTooth]

I know one thing, if Joseph Barbera and William Hanna were running the Federal Communications Commission, I don't think those a-holes there would be implementing those sucky laws. But then, Hanna and Barbera are now dead.

Hey! Anything to distract people from the fact that they let one media company buy up all the networks they want. Why, if we didn't pretend to think of the children, then that corrupt corporate favored ruling would never have passed.

But hey! Anything from keeping our kids from being 500 pound school shooters, right?:robin: I mean, kids watched very violent stuff in the 50's (cowboy films) how come those kids didn't grow up to be trigger happy assassins? And without Diabeties?

Well, thanks to those parental groups, TV cartoons have never been worse off.
