One of the many sad things about the state of the world our children are growing up in is the lack of Saturday Morning Cartoons. Saturday morning was just about the best part of the week for any child growing up in the 60's, 70's or 80's. Before the days of 24-hour Nickelodeon and 52 other channels showing cartoons half the time, Saturday mornings were the only chance kids had to watch shows made for them. If you have kids, you owe it to them to pick up at least one of these two new super sweet DVD sets coming out in May.Saturday Morning Cartoons are two disc sets featuring some awesome shows gathered from several different production companies and studios and assembled together in one spot to recreate the pure joy of Saturday mornings of past. And these discs are gonna feature some truly great shows.
The first volume covers the 1960's. The lineup is to include Top Cat, Peter Potamus, Secret Squirel, The Flintstones, Porky Pig, Quick Draw McGraw, Jetsons, Marine Boy, Space Ghost, Herculoids (holy crap I loves me some Herculoids!), Frankenstien Jr. and the Maggila Gorilla Show. Good Stuff!
The 70's volume has got some of my all-time favorites making their DVD debut. How awesome is going to be to watch a little Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch?! Such a great cartoon! Then we'll top that off with some Roman Holidays. Classic!! Plus there's some other jems like Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Speed Buggy (how awesome is he?), Josie and the Pussycats (I've got the whole series on DVD...but I'll still watch it here), Yogi's Gang, and how about some Amazing Chan and the Chan Gang for ya. There's also Jetsons, The Tarzan/Batman Adventure Hour, Hong Kong Phooey, Scooby Doo and the Funky Phantom.
Can you say: Awesome!?!
As the cool kids say, these DVDs drop May 19th. They are available for pre-order on Amazon.
