What a great thread. So many memories.
I remember watching most of those shows.
The Banana Splits seemed really good at the time, Uh-oh Congo, it's Danger Island next. I bought a video of it a few years ago, and it was so lame. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to relive your youth.
And what about "The Nutty-Squirrels"? The pair of Beat-Nik squirrels who wore dark suits, berets and had goatees, they spoke beat-nik speak and they had that funky jazz music intro and background. The tune was called "Uh-Oh" Uh oh, dooby wuh, di dibbity dooby wop, doo whaa doo whaa.
Marine Boy with his oxygum so he could breathe under water. Didn't work in real life, I tried it with PK gum and just got lots of water up my nose.
Gigantor, Gigantor, bigger than big, taller than tall. Not too bad, but not a patch on Astroboy.
HR Puffinstuff, Jack Wild was so cute.
Did you know that Julius Sumner Miller studied under Einstein? That explains the crazy hair do.
Don't you think that the quality and originality of the programs back then was so much better than today?
