You are not kidding! When I was coming up, TV viewers had a "block" of shows...I should say "blocks"; In the daytime, Goodson-Todman (game shows); evenings, Norman Lear and/or Garry Marshall (sitcoms); Aaron Spelling and/or Stephen Cannell (action/adventure & drama); Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros. & Filmation (animated cartoons); Sid & Marty Krofft (live children's shows).
Many of the above mentioned ppl, sadly are no longer with us. But they have left a legacy yet to be matched!
You know I recall we had to pay close attention to what was aired because poof! it was gone and not seen again. I think that aspect (plus all the reading we did as kids) developed very strong memories/powers of recollection in us from that era. My brothers and I can still recount episode plots from various shows including the Children's Film Festival offerings which aired a bit later in the day.
Someone was cool enough to put episodes of Reboot on YouTube. A lot of my childhood favorites (The New Adventures of Batman, Space Sentinels, Tarzan to name a few) are there. I go to YouTube whenever I feel like reliving my younger days
It's bad enough that the regular networks no longer have cartoons, but I turn on Boomerang for my classic Hanna-Barbera fix and wouldn't you know, they even changed that to these bull**** shows that I can't stomach! Whatever happened to reruns of Yogi Bear, Scooby doo, Speed Buggy and more? (Yea, I still like Saturday Morning cartoons, even in my early 50s). Maybe I'm just from another era-wall to wall cartoons, then American Bandstand, followed by Wide World of Sports. Those shows, and their respective hosts, now gone, but the memories will last forever! Sad.
Yes I miss it, too. I grew up in the same time and Saturday morning cartoons were wonderful ! I love the Roadrunner ! So creative beep - beep ! Love Sylvester & Tweety, Tom & Jerry, Popeye, Snaglepuss - Heavens to mergatroy ! Exit stage left (as he dashes out)
I loved American Bandstand and Wide World of Sports - on Saturday after cartoons. This really needs to come back on Saturday mornings - it's important for people to have these happy show to watch.

And "This Week In Baseball".
"How about THAT?"
