      What surprised me was Shazam/Isis and Land of the Lost were both on at the same time on 2 different channels --- and they were up against Superfriends .....

      Those were the days

            Great lineup. No wonder we only needed 4 or 5 channels.

            My dad loved watching Soul Train for some reason. He doesn't even care for the type of music that was played on the show but I guess he was more interested in the "visuals" more than anything.

                    I was never a morning person (kid or adult).

                    I always missed Underdog (7:00)

                    9:30 Pink Panther
                    10:00 Land of the Lost

                    Then out the door to play for hours on end....

                      This would be my choices

                      Big bowl of Freakies Cereal, finish off with a glass of Kool-Aid to get the juices going.
                      7 am Underdog
                      7:30 Mr. Magoo
                      8:00 Hong Kong Phooey
                      8:30 Brady Bunch or Josie and the Pussycats
                      9:00 Partridge Family or Electric Company
                      9:30 Bewitched
                      10:00 Land of the Lost but would hit Superfriends depending on if one was a repeat
                      10:30 Bathroom break. Another glass of Kool-Aid
                      11:00 Planet of the Apes or Speed Buggy
                      11:30 Lunch Mac 'n' cheese or maybe a Fluffer Nutter sandwich on Wonder Bread
                      12:00 Dad took over the tv and it was the Souuuulllllll Train

                      After that, it was outside for the rest of the day riding the Schwinn Sting Ray, Mego/G.I. Joe Battles, Hotwheels dirt racing, jumping off swings, or tree climbing until it was time to come in for dinner.

                      Sweet Nirvana!

                        Yeah I dunno,.. Being only 1 threw 76 I am not familiar with most of these toons,.. However did manage to catch a few of them in sindication.

                        What's the story behind GhostBusters ? I thought that was an 80's thing that started from the Movie.
                        ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

                          Ghost Busters was an old children's TV show from the 70's ......
                          It was live action and was very much Kroft-ish ....

                          It starred Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (both from F-Troop)

                          Basically, what you know of as Ghostbusters (the movies-etc), ripped this show off.

                          They battled thoughout the whole 1980's over rights issues.

                          I don't know if it's ever been settled

                            The 1984 Aykroyd/Murray/Ramis/Reitman movie Ghostbusters appropriated only the name, not the characters, events, style or anything other than the name.
