For we Baby Boomers and most of Generation X,\u00a0though, finding cartoons and\u00a0other cool stuff to watch often meant either racing home from school\u00a0to catch a local TV host&#8217;s show, usually\u00a0on a a UHF station, or waking up early on Saturday, getting an oversized bowl of cereal (preferably something with the big, bold letters &#8220;S-U-G-A-R&#8221; prominently displayed on the box)\u00a0\u00a0from the kitchen, and settling in front of the set for a several-hour sensory overload.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you&#8217;re on your own with procuring\u00a0suitable\u00a0breakfast fare (these days us\u00a0Boomers are skipping &#8220;S-U-G-A-R&#8221; in lieu of\u00a0the big, bold\u00a0letters &#8220;B-R-A-N&#8221;), \u00a0but Warner Home Video is supplying the video portion of the entertainment with two series of nostalgia-packed collections, <a title=\"Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s, Vol. 1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D00169&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s, Vol. 1<\/a> and\u00a0<a title=\"saturday Morning cartoons 1960s Vol. 2 \" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D01600&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vol. 2 <\/a>and <a title=\"Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1970s, Vol. 1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D00170&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1970s, Vol. 1<\/a> and\u00a0<a title=\"Saturday Morning Cartoon 1970s Vol. 2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D01601&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Vol. 2<\/a>.

Also&#8211;probably since Time-Warner controls the Hanna-Barbera library&#8211;each of them are H-B titles save for Marine Boy, Gilligan,\u00a0and the Warner-owned Porky, Bugs, Road Runner, and Batman. Anyone looking for episodes from Rankin\/Bass (<a title=\"King Kong\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D67528&amp;loc=buzzsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">King Kong<\/a>, The Osmonds, Kid Power), Filmation\u00a0(The Lone Ranger, The Archie Show,\u00a0Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids), or De\u00a0Patie-Freleng (The Pink Panther, Here Comes the Grump, or my personal favorite, Super President) series is out of luck. And as for\u00a0such popular programs as Jonny Quest,\u00a0Wacky Races and its spin-offs, and \u00a0the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, you&#8217;ll have to find those in their own complete series collections.<\/p>\n<p>On a technical note, for some reason on volume one of each set, the powers that be made it impossible to go from one cartoon on an anthology show to another. For example,\u00a0after Atom Ant&#8217;s own short, \u00a0you have to go back to the menu to watch his co-stars, \u00a0The Hillbilly Bears and Precious Pupp. This was fixed on the second round of shows.\u00a0It&#8217;s nice, however, to see that\u00a0for the most part original opening and closing credits are included, even if a few judicious cuts had to be made to remove mention of the shows&#8217; original sponsors (<em>Note: the Quick Draw McGraw installment in 1960s, Vol. 2 still prominently features Kellogg&#8217;s Cereals<\/em> ). It&#8217;s too bad they couldn&#8217;t have tossed in a few\u00a0vintage TV promos or commercials, while they were at it.<\/p>\n<p>Still, these are minor nits to pick. With these four cartoon cornucopias, you\u00a0get a fine selection of childhood faves that\u00a0reflect the shifting\u00a0pop culture mood of their times, from the early dominance of funny animals and animated sitcoms to the rise of superheroes&#8211;both serious and silly&#8211;in the wake of mid-&#8217;60s &#8220;Batmania,&#8221; and on to the &#8220;non-violent humor with a moral&#8221; and &#8220;some kids and a talking something-or-other solve mysteries&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0trends of the early &#8217;70s. Bonus featurettes detail the making of The Amazing Chan (which featured scripts by M*A*S*H co-star Jamie Farr), Funky Phantom, The Herculoids, Magilla Gorilla, Shazzan (could he have been Hanna-Barbera&#8217;s first Muslim superhero?),\u00a0and even Quick Draw McGraw&#8217;s guitar-whumpin&#8217; alter ego, El Kabong. There are enough fond memories in these sets to fill up several Saturday mornings and keep animation geeks like myself happy.<\/p>\n<p>One final note: in one of the strangest advisory notices I&#8217;ve ever seen, each\u00a0back cover says that the collection\u00a0&#8220;is Intended for the Adult Collector and Is Not Suitable for Children.&#8221;\u00a0Now, sure, there&#8217;s lots of costumed-action fisticuffs and Quick Draw\u00a0 got more than his share of gunshots to the face, but come on. The kids who grew up on these cartoons are now afraid of showing them to their own\u00a0kids&#8230;when many of the same shows are on Warner&#8217;s Boomerang cable channel? Aren&#8217;t we being just a tad overprotective?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author&#8217;s Note: Since this article was first published in June 2009, Warner Home Video has released second volumes of &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s shows (I&#8217;ve updated the listings to reflect this),\u00a0 with plans to put out a collection of\u00a0 &#8217;80s toons&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":58612,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1511],"coauthors":[1720],"class_list":["post-1296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-staff-notes","tag-tv-shows-of-the-1960s"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s And 1970s<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s And 1970s what is your favorite from when you were a kid?
