CBS Saturday Morning TV Ad - 1968

sg






































I had planned to post this beautifully designed, exciting-as-all-get-out double-page spread for CBS' Saturday Morning Cartoon line-up, circa 1968, that appeared in lots of comics at the time. But then that impish little Bully posted it on his site first, so I asked him if I could use his and save me the effort of having to scan it in.

Bully generously agreed, so here it is, along with my additional close-up of (to me) the main source of interest, The Superman-Aquaman Hour of Adventure! And what better day to post it?

1968 was a little before my time, but I still remember how great the Sat Morn line-ups where back then--and this group of shows looks just as exciting--Jonny Quest, Moby Dick, The Mighty Mightor, The Herculoids, Shazzan!, plus the DC universe of heroes! It almost made the Nixon administration tolerable.

Rob-

Synchro!

We were just talking of Classic Saturdays over at the UMA!

Here's the ABC you spoke of:

The '60's were GREAT times to be a kid; I remember them well! If you stayed up late enough on Saturday, your local station probably had a Horror Host, screening classic monster movies!

Happy Saturday, all!

There was a children's cartoon series based loosely on Moby Dick?! Wow. Now there's something I've got to research.
