Interesting now to see how popular those animated omnibus syndicated programs were at this time. What they consisted of was several one-season (usually) Saturday-morning cartoon series that were repackaged by their respective studios for five days a week scheduling. I see <i>Groovie Goolies and Friends</i>, <i>Fun World</i> (Hanna-Barbera comedies), <i>Hanna-Barbera's World of Super Adventure</i>, and the clumsy-titled <i>Superheroes</i> (Filmation DC Comics adaptions).<br /><br />In a few years, local stations would be glutted with first-run syndicated fare such as "G.I. Joe" and 'He-Man" and other barely-disguised half-hour toy commercials, and the Caspers, Popeyes and Bugs Bunnys of afterschool yore either transferred to cable TV <br />or disappeared altogether. top_cat_jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365510398800837335noreply@blogger.com
