Yeah... That's about where I am, age-wise. Actually I'm a bit older--you're trending 70s cartoons, it looks like, whereas my "childhood" cartoons all aired in the 60s.

I'd add to that list the 1966 Spider-man and Fantastic Four, Space Ghost (voiced by the legendary Gary Owens, who also voiced Roger Ramjet), The New Adventures of Superman (which ran quite a bit before Super Friends), and whatever was the container title for airing Warner's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies on Saturday mornings (I think it was The Bugs Bunny Show, but don't quote me on that).

These aren't cartoons, but I'll throw in a good word for Gerry Anderson's early "Super-Marionation" sci-fi puppet shows: Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, and Thunderbirds. (Fireball XL5 ran on Saturday mornings on NBC from 1963 to 1965; the rest of them were run in first-run syndication, so when they ran varied depending on what market you were in.)

Good times. I pity the kids growing up today; they don't know the joys of getting wired up on sugary cereals and watching truly classic cartoons on a Saturday morning.

Cheers,

Forgot one - the old Harlem Globetrotters cartoon, back in the day of Meadowlark Lemon and Curly Neal. I always enjoyed their cartoon show. Saw them perform in person a couple of times too.

Absolutely. It was an event to be looked forward to.

I loved Mighty Mouse. And Scooby Doo! Tom & Jerry, too.

Ditto! I distinctly remember feeling exactly the same way. Lol

And I definitely can't forget South Park! I remember my grandpa would always stay up with me until 11pm on Friday nights so we could watch it together when I was a kid.

Might be dating myself, but I always liked the Road Runner and Coyote show.
