Shaturday Morning Cartoons

We kick off season 6 of Shaturday Morning Cartoons with the whole gang-- Joe, Nick, George, Caitlin, and The Onion's Tim Harrod--watching the 1983 ABC Cartoon Preview special hosted by Dick Clark. Included in the lineup: Monchhichis, Pac-Man, Rubik The Amazing Cube, The Puppy's New Adventures, Menudo, and a trip down Saturday morning memory lane. Plus, cameos from T.K. Carter and Emmanuel Lewis! Then we play a game show called What Didn't Dick Do? about all the things Dick Clark has and hasn't hosted over the years. Did Dick ever interview Charles Manson? Play along and find out.

Put your ears on, good buddy, as the Shaturday long haulers watch the 1977 Hanna-Barbera cartoon, CB Bears (and watch out for Smokey). Plus, we take you through the CB radio crazy of the 70s that got big, weird, and even sexy in a game called 10-4 or Negatory. Over and out.

Grab a cereal bowl and a box of tissues for a depressing live action film about financial responsibility from our friends at Hanna-Barbera! Skip Elsheimer from A/V Geeks dug this one up to inject some harsh reality into our day-glow cartoon world and George brings some animated morality tales from the Super Friends to meet our mandated toon quota. Then, Skip leads us in a new game show called Happier Days about the dark side of sitcom characters. Melancholy Shaturday, Welkerinos!
