Hey, just to add to this thread. Have you checked out www.jaroo.com? It's like Hulu, except with old cartoons. My son loves watching, as he calls them, "classic cartoons from the 80's".

Gigantor
SPACE GHOOOOOST!!!!
JP Patches (local version of Bozo)
Bozo the Clown
Classic Bugs Bunny and company

Some Saturday morning shows I remember as a little kid:

Augie Doggie & Doggie Daddy
Yogi Bear & Boo Boo
(Best memories were all the Sat cartoons)
Ed Sullivan Show (every Sun night the family gathered around the TV & we had tuna fish salad on onion rolls)

For us old timers from NY:

Wonderama (for us VERY old timers -- with Sonny Fox) (for you young'uns -- Bob McAllister)

I was on Wonderama

My father worked for Channel 5 back then (when it was known as Metromedia, I think?) and my sisters and I were all on the show. I was very young, but I vaguely remember dancing on some sort of tall box or platform

 

[pah-fla]

The musician with the bubbles was Lawrence Welk. I can remember watching this show with my grandparents. They loved it.

My cousin and I were on the "Howdy Doody Show" in the peanut gallery. I can still see that set in my mind and how surprised I was that Howdy and his gang were not real - they were marionettes.

I even remember watching Kate Smith's show with wonderful stories told by a beautiful fairy, Romper Room with a teacher whose name I can't remember who had a magic mirror and could "see" all of us watching her show. This was in New York during the mid 1950's! They are wonderful memories of a different time.

I claim the prize for oldest. We didn't have TV until I was 11 and I don't remember there being any kids show. However, we watched Uncle Milty. (Milton Burle) A little later we had a local show with a woman dressed as a cat, but by the time she came on, I was too old to enjoy it. Then, when I was a teen, there was the Howdy Doody Show.
It's Howdy Doody Time. Uncle Bob and Clarabell the Clown and Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring.

Yes thank you ! That's the kind of thing that would keep me up all night!

Sunday mornings included: Gumby and Pokey, and some western style show??? just remember trying to get an hour in before the Sunday School bus came. Yes, we had ss bus that picked us up and dropped us off unless we were lucky enough to go with friends to Mickey D' for the $1 meals

Yup, you guessed it...the mid to late 60s

A friend and I were talking about Saturday morning cartoons the other day and how everyone we knew was allowed to watch television for hours on that one day. My parents also let us watch Creature Double Feature in the afternoon for the three or four hours it was on. Now, its a big no-no for kids to spend time in front of the television (although I still think it's one of the most fun things to do on a rainy summer day ~ stay in our jammies and order out pizza for lunch!)
