I remember in my youth there were three really cool syndiacted channels and I believe they were all based out of Philadelphia. There was channel 17 WPHL, Channel 48 WPVI, and of course WTAF Channel 29. Channel 48 eventually went off the air in the late 70's or early 80's.
I remember watching Starblazers on channel 29, Battle of the Planets on channel 48, and Ultraman on Channel 17. Battle of the Planets eventually went to one of the Turner owned networks, I believe it was TBS.
Channel 17 was the coolest as far as weekday kids programming. I distinctly remember watching Speed Racer, Marine Boy, King Kong, Spider-Man, the Filmmation Superhero cartoons, Ultraman, Space Giants, and Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot.
Anyway Jonz, you sound like you may be a fan of the old school cartoons, if so you should check out
www.toontracker.com, this web site has the theme songs to many of the old school cartoons from back in the day. Take care man.
Wow some old memories there.
WPVI is actually channel 6, Philly's local ABC affiliate.
Channel 48 was WKBS.
I watched all those shows.
On Saturdays we had the Dr Shock show for old terrible movies like The Colossal Man/Beast.
Anyway that Star Blazers clip looks great, hope it comes out into a great movie.
