As others have mentioned, I would have loved to have seen more seasons of:
Firefly (just an amazing show)
Kolchak the Night Stalker
I don’t know if it qualifies because it was just a segment in a show, but Electra Woman and Dyna Girl was fun Saturday morning fare that came and went too quickly. Also, The Herculoids… that show hit my sweet spot back in the day. It had a second season but those were just reruns of the first season. It would have been an amazing toy line.Comment

I hadnt thought about Saturday morning shows. It's kind of scary how often a show with 10 to 15 episodes would play continuously for for 2 to 3 years.Comment

I know, right? I guess back then, they could get away with it because most families didn't own VCRs, so we had to watch it when the network aired it, and if you missed it, you would have to wait about 3-4 months to catch a rerun. Or maybe the episode was really good, and you wanted to watch it again. I remember throwing temper tantrums because my mom would drag me to see my grandpa once a month on a Saturday, making me miss all my Saturday morning cartoons--particularly Josie and the Pussycats! Nowadays we're spoiled with DVDs, youtube and other on-demand services. We can watch them over and over whenever we want.Last edited by RonnyG; Jan 16, '23, 3:25 AM.Comment
