You mention three channels of cartoons 24/7. However, my kids have tablets with access to Hulu and Netflix. They get cartoons from several decades on demand! Now and then I find them watching something I did as a kid, and they talk about it like it's brand new. 🙂

Harrigan! It wasn't until my teens I discovered the true meaning of being Irish

'77 is a couple of years before my time but I'm familiar with most of these shows. Things are so different now, but I would take what we got as opposed to the trash that permeates the Saturday morning TV landscape.

"H-A-Double R-I-G-A-N It's Harrigan!"

Hardly anybody remembers that show, and I don't blame them because it was terrible.

I had a friend who spent a summer at Circle Square ranch. She claims to have lost her virginity there LOL.

That show was surreal though, it was still on 15-20 years ago.

I remember Circle Square like a bad dream... I mostly remember the nerdy girl (?) with glasses.

Here in Montreal, CFCF-12 (the local CTV affiliate) scheduled that show at something like 5:30am. Did you know that it promoted a Christian daycamp that still exists? Talk about brainwashing!

Oh, and what is channel 25? TVO or Radio-Canada?

we have millions of channels and there is still nothing on. TV was better back when there were fewer channels….at least I feel that way. BTW- dibs on watching Laurel & Hardy!!!

Just had to write about this because I've been mourning the whole Saturday Morning Cartoon thing as of late. I even go to youtube on Saturdays so I can play the opening theme to ABC's Weekend Special and get temporarily transported.

Love the site, keep up the good work.

ah, the good old TV Guide days, when you even got episode synopses and even cast info FOR RERUNS!

"The Partridges become social outcasts thanks to a skunk. Hotel Clerk: Robert Gibbons"

"Trouble begins when Gilligan finds a crate of radioactive vegetables."

"Kirk (William Shatner) tries to outwit colonizers from Andromeda who assume human form to seize the Enterprise"

And at noon you got Rollerderby on Channel 3 - sweet!

OH WOW!!! Just 2 days ago, I was trying to tell an American friend about C.U.C.U.M.B.E.R. & I couldn’t remember the name! All I could tell him was, “It had a moose & a beaver…” That show lasted a pretty long time, because I know I watched it up to ’84 at least. I soooo miss Saturday morning cartoons! I think if they still had the good line up we did as kids, I’d wake up early, make a bowl of cereal & enjoy!!!
