Fingers crossed for "The Flintstone Kids". Loved watching that on Saturday mornings as a kid. Also, count me in for 'Captain Caveman"!
I would also be very happy to hear and update on the New Adventures of Gilligan as well. I have most of the HB series that i wanted with only a few missing. If i could buy the old cereal then i could duplicate my saturday mornings, but Canada does not sell the TRIX, Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Apple Jacks, etc anymore. I can get captain crunch and the fruit loops, but that is about it!Andrew Radke said:Fingers crossed for "The Flintstone Kids". Loved watching that on Saturday mornings as a kid.

I had never heard of MARINE BOY until the SATURDAY MORNING DVD sets came out a few years ago from WHV. I do not recall it from my childhood nor did I ever see it in syndication. Did the show air in syndication and no one from the Oregon TV market pick it up?dhammer said:Someone on the Warner Archives Facebook page made a disparaging remark about releasing Marine Boy. I commented on it. This cartoon was one of the best from the greatest era of cartoons- the 1960's. I also hope for a complete series but I have my questions. There are like 77-78 episodes or so. It was a half hour cartoon with commercials. It is hard to imagine they are going to release all those, long episodes in one set. I see at least 2 releases but hopefully I'm wrong.
I live in the Philadelphia area and this show was on in the late 1960's. It is a lot like Speed Racer. I think it is the same people who did both? We had a show on after school which ran until I think around 8pm. Wee Willie Weber and His Cartoon Club, introduced kids to all the Japanese cartoons and live action shows at the time. Really I think it is one of the coolest and best done cartoons of it's time.Greg Chenoweth said:I had never heard of MARINE BOY until the SATURDAY MORNING DVD sets came out a few years ago from WHV.

The theatrrical shorts are still in the court of WHV retail, while the made-for-TV cartoons are being released by the Archive. For whatever reason, the Archive's TV Popeyes are coming out before the remaining theatricals.rmw650 said:Now, I'm just making sure of everything as this is somewhat confusing based on these two reports
WHY AREN’T THE CLASSIC COLOR POPEYE CARTOONS RELEASED ON VIDEO?
Good News! Warner Bros. will release these to DVD and Blu-Ray next year. Restoration is taking place now. The first boxed set should be released in July 2014! (From cartoonresearch.com)
VERSUS this article...http://www.homemediamagazine.com/tv-dvd/warner-archive-revives-spirit-saturday-morning-cartoons-30099
My question is this...so will these will be the Famous Studios - Paramount Popeye toons that they left off on, after Voulme 3 was released a few years ago or is this something entirely different? Would this become Volume 4 then/a continuation?
I know there were many versions of Popeye made, but the first article makes it sound like it will be Volume 4, a continuation of the previous sets being released a year from now and the second article refers to it as possibly the 1960-62 version of the cartoons being released by the Archives, or am I getting this mixed up somehow? Any clarity to these two reports would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy Popeye is coming out, but hoping it will be the 4th Volume of the originals coming out.
On the Flintstones topic, it would be nice if The New Fred and Barney Show came out next, since it's 17 showsMattPriceTime said:As of note, while it's not that popular Cave Kids is going to be the front runner for that Flintstones spinoff hint. Given it's placement in polls as such.
If Captain Caveman is finally seeing the light of day then that only strengthens the beleive those long term fixups are going to happen
On the Clue Club note some info got mixed up to that person. As it did not win the poll it came in 3rd. ANd on the other WA already confirmed it is in the works.
I have lived in the United States and have friends that are american. My roots are Canadian and will remain that way. Canada changed things up with their cereal many years ago and it is what it is!. This posting is about HB as such i will not make into something else. I have most of the HB cartoons that i want with the exception of a few and those few have been spelled out. I am not holding much promise for the ones i like to see due to fact the generation that was attached to saturday morning cartoons are now in their 40s and beyond. The kids today are not that interested in old cartoons, because some view them campy.

Introduce them to them at an early age and they'll apprieciate them, or just get rid of cable. I have a friend who had to get rid of cable to save money, I gave her kids DVDs of the cartoons I watched as a kid and they lapped them up!younger1968 said:The kids today are not that interested in old cartoons, because some view them campy.

I agree with your statement that kids need to be introduced early on the shows. I collect HB as they are sentimental to me as i grew up with saturday morning cartoons. I am in my 40s now and still watched the HB cartoons from time to time. I usually just pull out a set and watch it from start to finished. I am disappointed that following sets are not discussed and/or information to why these cartoons are not released. I realized some of these are not HB or there are ownership issuesRegulus said:Introduce them to them at an early age and they'll apprieciate them, or just get rid of cable.

Ethan Riley said:But times and tastes have changed--today's youth wants today's cartoons--exactly like yesterday's youth wanted their own shows. There's nothing bad or wrong about today's television fare. Your cartoons were not "better," they were just yours, and you have wonderful memories attached to them. Just accept what your kids like and want. That's their fond memories being formed as you stand by.
Non drug-taking kids between the ages of 7-12 "want" Adventure Time and The Regular Show, or do they watch it because it's on? There's a distinct difference.Ethan Riley said:Trust me--your parents had a problem with the Saturday morning cartoons you watched. They moaned over the fact that the animation was nowhere near as good as the theatrical shorts they'd enjoyed in their day. Every parent who lived through the 60s-80s has fond memories of sitting around in their jammies with breakfast cereal on Saturday morning, watching their favorites, and they'd like to sort of relive that experience through their own kids.

That's what I did. It works.Regulus said:Introduce them to them at an early age and they'll apprieciate them, or just get rid of cable. I have a friend who had to get rid of cable to save money, I gave her kids DVDs of the cartoons I watched as a kid and they lapped them up!
