You probably all completely agree with this list.

What....no Rocky and Bullwinkle? That one should have been in the top three in my book. The show featured "Fractured Fairy-tales", "Bullwinkle's Corner" and "Peabody and Sherman" (remember the Wayback machine?)

Great show for kids and adults.

I forgot about Milton the Monster. It was pretty good. I also liked Fat Albert and the Jackson 5 cartoons.

Number 4 should be number 1...I was in college, a bunch of us would get together on Saturday morning to watch the show....It was great...I was just getting into it when I got drafted...When I got back from Vietnam, it was gone...missed it for years.....a single tear falling.....it was not so much that the show was gone, but nothing would be the same again....

The only ones of these I ever watched were "Beany and Cecil," "The Beatles," and "Jonny Quest." I did watch one that was very similar to the "Fireball" puppet one you have listed, and that is, "Thunderbirds," which I really liked.

Actually, most of these shows you have were a little after "my time" (I was born in '53). I remember Saturday shows (I think they were on Saturday) like "Heckle and Jeckle" (sp?), "Mighty Mouse," "Bugs Bunny," and "Soupy Sales."

Does anyone remember a show from the mid-'60s called "Discovery," with Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson? Sort of a travel/learning magazine show for pre-teens.

I liked "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters". Helen Thomas should have stuck to that role.

"I also liked Fat Albert and the Jackson 5 cartoons."

So did I , but for my money, the 70s shows have an uphill battle.
About 1970 is when the political correctness started creeping in.

Shows of the 60s fell in between the 70s PC,
and the primitive black and white era of the 50s Baby Boomers.

Oh, yeah! You're right! "Moose and squirrel." One of the best.

Rocky and Bullwinkle where definitely up there,
though I was partial to "Underdog" when it came to Jay Ward toons.

Here's one of the dog and boy:

I remember it- came on Sundays in my town. It was good. We also loved "Wild Kingdom" and other such shows.

I can agree a little bit depending on how you define "PC."

BTW, you also forgot about "Archie"- that was real good IMO.

Memories...Saturday mornings eating cereal with way too much sugar spooned on top and using a kitchen chair seat as a tv tray in the living room. But I remember Rocky and Bullwinkle best. Fractured Fairy Tales and Professor Peabody, the guys who wrote these were probably high. I loved them.
