I never saw it on the Disney Channel or Cartoon Network. To the best of my recollection, Boomerang ran the original "Saturday Superstar Movie" version. I don't recall about the closing H-B logo and its soundtrack. It also ran on the 1988 syndicated Yogi Bear Show in two parts.

It wasn't even that as I recall -- the first half was the "Yogi's Gang" episode version, the second half was the "Saturday Superstar Movie" version. As I recall, it's a long time since I watched it. The two part version would have been accurate for the series set, as they were the last two...

What I recall is they had planned to do Touche Turtle after they had released Wally Gator and Lippy The Lion, but it's the same old story -- they only had 16mm film prints for the cartoons and they didn't have any negatives, so the quality wasn't deemed good enough. Now, that's all well and...

I would still like to see "Heathcliff And Marmaduke" (they already released the first season, "Heathcliff And Dingbat") as well as "The Flintstone Comedy Hour" and "The New Fred And Barney Show."

At least some of Richie Rich was released, but I don't believe it was ever completed.

The Jeannie series is owned by Sony, not Warner. I believe it's available for streaming. There is a site called 70s TV dot com which has it on DVD, said to be from "studio masters" (but more likely sourced from the streaming version). I don't have it so I can't comment on the quality. I do have...

And when I saw them in the 1970s, both shows were combined under the title Magilla Gorilla. Magilla/Punkin/Ricochet would be on one day, Potamus/Breezly/Goofy Guards the next day. So when Magilla Gorilla came out on DVD, it seemed very incomplete to me, until Peter Potamus came out 10 years...

"Classic Comedy Teams Collection" came out when, in 2006? On the Three Stooges disc, "Gold Raiders" is completely unplayable/inaccessible. But if you find a later "disc made in Mexico" version, it's good.

That is good advice, thank you. Fortunately, I got the original versions of Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear and Magilla Gorilla when they came out. Now, I never bought the later versions, but it sure looked like the Magilla Gorilla "complete series" was no longer complete. There were 31 Magilla...

Speaking of that, does the newer Wacky Races have the two cartoons in each show broken up into their own 11-minute "shows" doubling the episode count like the original set? That made no sense to me whatsoever, but I remember Earl Kress saying something along the lines of "the lawyers made them...

What they "should" have done is, include the original one-hour pilot as seen on "The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie," then all (17) of the half-hour shows, the last two of which were re-edited "flashback" episodes with footage from "Yogi's Ark Lark." What happened was, they put together a hybrid...

I have a Space Kidettes show which I taped from a Chicago TV station in the mid-1980s. It begins with a cold opening teaser, then the main title, then the beginning of the Space Kidettes cartoon. There is a break, then the next two segments begin with a Space Kidettes bumper skit, then either Go...

I know this series has been out from Warner Archive for some time, but I am hoping someone can clear up some questions about "Space Kidettes" and "Young Samson." I am just a hair too young to have seen these in their original run(s). My understanding is that both were sponsored by General Mills...

What I remember reading is that the Capitol library was later sold, or more specifically, the rights reverted to the individual composers, Seely-Loose and others. So the rights to the library were split among various entities. I also specifically remember reading that some of the cues used in...

I think it's a "first refusal" thing. WHV wasn't interested in releasing a set of B&W cartoons, therefore "Porky Pig 101" came out via Warner Archive.

I believe the truth is somewhere in between. I don't think (in the case of Huckleberry Hound) it's a matter of not being able to license the music, but more likely the cost of doing so would result in Warner losing money if they released the rest of the series. Now, I don't know if the figures...

Since Earl Kress was involved in the DVDs, I would "cautiously assume" they got it right, but it does seem very odd to me that the change in theme songs wouldn't have happened at the beginning of a season. Can anyone verify this (from the original run of the series)? I remember in syndication...

Two questions: (1) Was the "ABC Presentation" a regular one like that used on other shows, or was it unique to the series like on the Flintstones? (2) Do the episodes have specific credits for each episode or just the same one from one episode repeated on all of them as I think may have been...

It wasn't a case of removing them. They went back to the original versions of the episodes, which never had them. Those weren't added until they were re-syndicated alongside newly-produced episodes in 1985. At the time they also re-recorded the theme song with electronic drums and replaced the...

Only one? What's up with that? One thing which was disappointing to me was, as joyful as I was/am to have an episode of The Banana Splits Adventure Hour on Saturday Morning Cartoons 1970s Volume 2 -- a release which tried to present shows in their original vintage form -- they went as far as...

"The Jetsons" was a staple of NBC's Saturday morning lineup in reruns for many years. So I was somewhat surprised one day in the 1970s to see it listed on WGN-Channel 9 in Chicago. They briefly ran it on Saturday mornings (and at that time, while Saturday morning was the "day of cartoons" for...

I think that was the whole idea of Cartoon Express in the beginning. Run a bunch of short-run shows which didn't have enough episodes to be syndicated.

What Jerry Beck said was that all three series were mostly 16mm, but for Wally and Lippy they had 16mm negatives, but only prints for Touche. As a "layman," I don't know how much "worse" this would be, or what difference it would make in the presentation. I'd have to think they'd look at least...

"The New Yogi Bear Show" was not the "official" series title, but it makes sense in referring to it that way to distinguish it from the original series. Actually, the title screen in the show opening read "Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear Show" -- this was on every show, regardless of whether the...

As far as I know, you are correct about Wally/Lippy/Touche being distributed as single reels of cartoons without a show opening, closing or bumpers. It was sold under the generic title of "New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Series" (to distinguish the package from the OLD Hanna-Barbera cartoons) but that...

I hope so too! But what I recall him saying was that he had intended to use them as a guide for where the bumper segments would go (since they had color footage for some of them). But by the time they started work on the DVD set, they were gone. So aside from the first couple of shows (where...

I remember reading (possibly from Earl Kress) that Turner had a full set of the shows complete with the bumpers, but in black and white. Then Warner Bros. threw them out.

Dynomutt was mostly released years ago as part of "The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour." But the last four two-part cartoons (originally shown on "Laff-A-Lympics") were not included, nor were the eight new Scooby-Doo cartoons produced that year.

In other words, this is NOT happening.

By the way, the edited half-hours as shown on Boomerang and released on DVD in England have an edited version of the original Season 2 closing. It starts late, and is joined at the point where credits start to be superimposed. So the "Tra La La song" theme is edited, and there is a really...
