Killing time on Youtube brings all the best tv memories back to you. Anyone remember this?

I had totally forgotten about those shows. I probably haven't seen them in close to 30 years.
I also just watched the opening theme for the "Spiderman" live action series. I'm surprised that it hasn't been put out on DVD. I used to watch that show all the time. Nice 70s funky theme music too!
Pencilchewer, I remember ALL those shows!! Thanks for the You Tube links.
BTW, I own all three seasons of Land of the Lost in a box set. Have any of the other shows been released on DVD?

Outstanding thread!
I always watched the Super Friends, though was always disappointed with the lack of action like they had in the older Filmation cartoons:

This one was always the final cartoon of the morning (I believe at 10:30) that I enjoyed:

My favorite was that the night before(?) the start of each new season the different networks would have a preview show of the new line-ups. Anyone remember these?

Anyone else remember The Doubledeckers?
It was a UK import about kids who had an old doubledecker bus as a clubhouse.

Oh yeah, that got stuck in my head when I was 5 or 6. I still retain the part of the theme song that goes like: "in a double-decker London bus...".
Thanks for memory.

It may have reached the nadir for you in the 70's, but I was around in the 60's, when Fred Silverman turned Saturday mornings into a real moneymaker for CBS, and the others followed-suit. I'd say '66-'68 were watershed years.
When they started Scooby-Doo, the Fantastic Four, Tennessee Tuxedo and Space Ghost, that really kicked the old-line kiddy-toons to the curb.

*sigh*
So was I.
And a google image search of Joanna Cameron will turn up some especially 'breathtaking' photos of her from back in the day.

Sid & Marty Krofft ruled saturday mornings in the 70's. They has to be on massive drugs though! Pufnstuf??? Come on!
I loved Kaptain Kool & The Kongs from the Supershow. Debbie Clinger as Superchick opened my 10 year old eyes.
Here's another obscure saturday morning fave:

I remember Sleestacks. There was also an ape-like child, whose name I forget. I can't remember if that was from that show with Bob Denver.
Electro Woman and Dyna-Girl, whose theme song I still hum in my head from time to time.

Land of the Lost. Chauka was the ape boy. No Bob Denver. They played Land of the Lost straight. It is now being shot as a feature film with Will Farrell. I suspect they aren't taking it too seriously this time around
