Product Description:
SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS-1970S V01 (DVD/2 DISC/12
Amazon.com:
Saturday mornings in the 1970's found most kids eagerly traveling around the world and solving mysteries from the comfort of their very own couches. In stark contrast to the often violent and sometimes morally questionable cartoons of the 1960's, the 1970's brought significant network restrictions regarding violence and appropriate cartoon character behavior. Hanna-Barbera's response to the restrictions was the development of a new formula for cartoons--one which often featured a group of kids who belonged to a rock band and traveled around the world playing gigs and solving mysteries. Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, and Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan are all successful examples of this basic cartoon formula. Family dynamics also figured heavily in 1970's cartoons (The Jetsons, Roman Holidays, and Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan) as did anthropomorphic vehicles and animal (The Funky Phantom Kids, Speed Buggy, Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch, Yogi's Gang, Hong Kong Phooey, Tarzan, and Batman). This compilation of 12 shows takes viewers to England, various jungles and seas around the world, Rome, and even outer space; consistently showcases the triumph of good over evil; and features several famous animated guests including the Harlem Globetrotters (The New Scooby-Doo Movies "The Ghostly Creep from the Deep") and The Partridge Kids (Goober and the Ghost's "Assignment Ahab Apparition"). Bonus features include a discussion of how network restrictions shaped Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan and the unexpected success of combining a historical figure with cartoon humor in Funky Phantom. While an overwhelming sense of sameness makes one marathon viewing undesirable, viewing a handful of episodes is bound to bring back fond memories of a time when Saturdays were simpler. --Tami Horiuchi

This is a fun reminder of what Saturday mornings used to be... a bowl of cereal & cartoons.

I can't say how excited I was to have this DVD. It is the best selection of 70's cartoons that I could think of. Sure, there were a few left out like JabberJaw & Fat Albert (don't know the copyrights for that one though). The Tom & Jerry Show would have been so welcome here as well (I know it is in volume 2). But first of all, this has Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle. Far and away one the best Saturday Morning Cartoons that I grew up watching. Wish there was a complete series for sale. But to also ...

This is a good collection of cartoons from the 70's and it is enjoyable. i was not excited about a few of them like Batman, Tarzan or Yogi's Gang but I just skipped these. Now to see Wheelie And The Chopper Bunch again was a joy. With the TV Channel 'Boomerang" they show many of these and I watch them but this disc has a few that is not played much. This is a good disc and the newer part 2 is also great. Hey, it's Hanna-Barbera!!

Folks, this is perhaps the weakest of this series.
This contains some of the early 70s toons from (mostly) the Hanna Barbera stable and a 1977 Batman/Tarzan episode from Filmation (the folks who brought you Fat Albert, which is available elsewhere).
There are a few good toons here. HONG KONG PHOOEY, one of the last truly great Sat. morning cartoons until GARFIELD AND FRIENDS some 15 years later, is quite imaginative and amusing. These 2 adventures of the Kung Fu fighting ... Read More

I purchased all 4 DVD's and I am very pleased. It has been a long time coming for some of the lesser known HB classics to have their day in the sun. To be honest, I thought many of these cartoons would never see a release. There is enough Flintstones, Jetsons, Yogi, etc. to choke a moose. In my opinion, it is great to see these lesser known characters regardless of plot, writing, character appeal etc. Let us not forget, these shows did not have the budget and personnel the aforementioned bigger ...
