Saturday Mornings TV in the 60s

I remember waking up on a Saturday morning excited that there was no school and best of all the best cartoons were on TV from 7am.
I was trying to think which was my favourite but there were too many .

These would be top of my list. hotos and descriptions are from Closer Weekly.

The Magilla Gorilla Show (1963 to 1967)

How much is that gorilla in the window? Take our advice, at any price, a gorilla like Magilla is mighty nice … sorry, broke into the theme song. This one from Hanna-Barbera features the gorilla in Mr. Peebles pet shop hoping against hope that someone will take him home with them , awww I would have !

The Flintstones (1960 to 1966)

Audiences met Fred and Wilma Flintstone, as well as their next-door neighbors Barney and Betty Rubble, 60 years ago. Set in the town of Bedrock, it deals with the guys (usually under Fred’s lead) trying one crazy scheme after another, and their wives having to pick up the pieces when it inevitably goes wrong. Yabba Dabba Do

The Beatles (1965 to 1969)

I loved this show Before the Beatles , no one had done an animated series based on real people . Wonder how many people cared that the guys they hired to voice John, Paul, George, and Ringo sounded nothing like John, Paul, George, or Ringo , I didn't

Batfink (1966)​

There were 100 five-minute episodes airing between 1966 and 1967. Accompanied by his sidekick, Karate, Batfink takes on many villains, usually responding to their firing guns at him, “Your bullets cannot harm me. My wings are like a shield of steel” (though one time one of the bad guys responded, “Yeah, but your head is like a marshmallow,” before hitting him in the skull with a large mallet).

The Lone Ranger (1966 to 1969)​

Shazzan! (1967 to 1969)​



kids-tv-shazzan



A genie named Shazzan helps brother and sister Chuck and Nancy as they make their way through a mystical Arabian world while riding the flying camel Kaboobie. When in danger, they bring two halves of a ring together to summon Shazzan.


And the list goes on Scooby Doo, The Jensen's.......

I have to say as a kid we had the best cartoon shows

Thank you Suzanne Rose for the walk down memory lane. I am so glad I live by myself with my dog as I walk around my place saying .. Hey Rocky watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.or singing or humming the Banana Splits song. Top Cat. Marvin the Martian, There's so many to choose from.
I have personally got on my phone The Singing Frog... hello my darling, hello my baby,hello my good time doll. I always seem to remember that cartoon and with daffy and bugs getting lost in the cave of Ali Baba with the genie. All those diamonds,rubies and gems with daffy running out at the end of the cartoon.... mine, mine,all mine. The story lines were life teaching for me. There were no Subtitles back then, but watching the story was really easy to follow, I may not understand every word but I certainly knew what the story line was about
You have definitely put a smile on my face for the rest of my weekend. Thank you. 🙂
Take care.
