I would add that GROOVY GHOULIES mosty closely resembles LAUGH IN, then an iconic show and a prerunner to SNL. Wendy already mentioned HONG KONG PHOOEY, one of my favorites that I would add to the list. I would certainly add THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BATMAN from 1977 which featured Adam West and Burt Ward (and, yes, Bat-Mite, who I actually enjoyed!). STAR BLAZERS merits a mention, as I credit that and BATTLE OF THE PLANETS for really sparking the "Japanimation" craze of the 1980s. Here's hoping Brittany will return with her list of Best Live Action Shows of the 1970s (for kids). I'm on a crusade to turn people on to the great Filmation live-action shows of that era, especially GHOST BUSTERS, but also ARK II, SPACE ACADEMY and JASON OF STAR COMMAND. --Gary in OmahaGary R.

Although I'm too young to really remember most of this stuff when it first began, a lot of it continued to be shown throughout the 80's and well into the 90's (and beyond). Will the same be said of cartoons today?

And don't forget Hong Kong Phooey and Grape Ape! There was something fun about not being able to access the cartoons the rest of the week. Unlike today's kids who can watch them 24/7!

Hence the lessons of Cosby, the fake-ghosts of Scooby Doo (some of which still thankfully managed to be scary) and worst of all the non-villains of Super Friends (and eventually Bat-Mite). Nevertheless I agree with the list. Good shows, all of them (though I preferred Mr. Jaws, the shark character shoe-horned into the Pink Panther show to Jabberjaw).DLRnoreply@blogger.com
