OH MY GOD....Land of The Lost and Sigmund were my favorites!!!!!!!

I use to watch The New Zoo Revue and, according to my mother, some Spanish show called La Playa or something. I don't remember watching anything in Spanish, but I DO remember the characters. Weird kid.

I named my phone Sigmund before I changed it to Planet Claire.

Also on the list was The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Captain Bob, The Banana Splits and Captain Kangaroo.

I also watched David & Goliath. Those sneaks put religion in my Saturday morning and I was too young to know better!!!

Zoom & Electric Company...or were those on during the week?

Having watched Zoom paid off later on when I moved to Allston MA after college... I mean, you know the zip code by heart.

Anyone remember a live actions / cartoon show called The Curiosity Shoppe? Had a computer charachter named Regus Patoff (who had a crush on a she computer named Pat Pending.) There was one cartoon in an episode where the world catches fire... there was a cartoon cat sitting outside a burning house thinking to itself 'hmmm... maybe I could get a hot mouse... hmmm mouse flambe!'

Mouse flambe has become a family punchline...

Hiya!!

Zoom and Electric company were on during the week, one of the kids from Zoom worked for me as a bartender at Pignoli

Remember the opening from Electric Co.?,..."HEY YOU GUYSSSS"!!
And Morgan Freeman as "The Count" !!!

Sugar- I think that the spanish language show was called " Vi Allegre",
My parents wanted to slap me when I'd crank up that teme song on Sunday mornings,..."La, lala, lala, lala,.la, lala, lalalalala...Vi Allegre!"

Sealpoet,.."0-2-1-3-4,...send it to zoom!!"

I always stuck with the classics, Looney Toons... Bugs, Daffey, the whole gang of 'em.. Nowadays I try to catch Pinky and the Brain when I can.. And SpongeBob.. He's got that whole squirrel romance thing goin' ya know! lol

'Zoom'.....oh my goodness.....

My memory only dates as far back as when Douglas was little ~ our favorite (okay, my favorite) Saturday morning cartoon was 'The Flea'.

Actually, I remember being a fan of Fat Albert ~ can't remember if that was the name of the show or not.

I shall show my age here -- we didn't watch cartoons; we watched Howdy Doody

bandylu.....move over.....

It's all coming back to me now. 'Howdy Doody', 'Kukla, Fran and Ollie', 'Speed Racer'.....

And how could I forget Bozo the Clown!

Didn't Bozo get in trouble for doing something nasty?

Anybody remember Winky Dink?

Thought that was Pee Wee Herman....

Bozo can do no wrong.....and if he did, I've blocked it out of my memory.

Winky Dink is ringing a bell.

Soupy got in trouble for asking all the kids to take dollar bills out of Mommy's wallet and mail them to him. But I thought Bozo got in trouble, too. Could be wrong.

What I remember about Winky Dink is the first 'interactive tv' -- you could get a piece of plastic to put over the tv screen and draw on it and/or 'participate' in the show. It was a long, long time ago -- probably before you were born. Actually I'm surprised you remember Howdy and friends. My favorite was Princess Summerfallwinterspring.

I'm not fibbin, bandylu. I even remember singing 'It's Howdy Doody time.....' to Douglas when he was little.

Did you watch the Mickey Mouse Club, too?

Wish you could hear me singin the theme song.....

Or maybe you don't want to hear me sing!

(Yeah, my sister and I watched it and loved it!)

Good night, young lady.

Good night to you, too, Rae. sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Hi all. Saturday morning cartoons in the 1970's and early 80's, were the biggest thing. Sort of don't exist now with videos and the cartoon network. I watched a lot them over the years. Bugs Bunny & friends, the one with the opening were they came out dancing in hats and canes, the Superfriends, Scooby Doo, Hong Kong Fuey, Fat Albert, there were probably others too but those were my main favorites. Oh does anyone remember the Schmoo (not sure I spelled that right)? This big, white, creature that used to morph into different forms, with a gang of friends, sort of like the kids from Scooby Doo.


Not to be confused with a cartoon about a family of shape shifters called the Barbarapoppas or something like that...
I loved Sesame Street and the Electric Company for awhile but never got into Zoom that much. I think they had one skit with a scientist putting kids in a bottle that scared me -- I can't recall I guess I blacked it out.

Others I remember not from Saturday morning were Top Cat, Heckle & Jeckle, Josie and the Pussycats, Mr. Magoo, Deputy Dog, Snaglepuss and The Banana Splits with all the Hanna Barbera cartoons. When I got older, there was a Japanese cartoon called Starblazers, a science fiction series. In college my friend found it on videotape (some episodes), and word spread through our dorm and we had strangers show up at the door wanting to watch them with us.

One last note about Zoom, a friends of mine (a married couple) visited Boston a few summers ago and we were walking by City Hall and he got all excited. Apparently, it was used on Zoom as an exterior shot of an evil fortress in one of their stories, he was so amazed to see it in real life, we had a good laugh...
