We watched Isis, the Bionic Woman, Charlie's Angels, Electra Woman & Dyna Girl, etc because we found stories revolving around female protagonists much more interesting. They usually do not have to physically fight the villain but resort to more creative ways to beat them, which made them more interesting to watch than Shazam or the Six Million Dollar Man.

You know what I remember most about the "Banana Splits"? Wanting an Amphicat, the vehicle used for the "Banana Buggies". Remember "Space: 1999"? The moon buggies were more Amphicats, and 15-year-old me still wanted one. It says a lot about the overall premise of TBS and S1999 that a 6x6 stole every scene it was in. It would be a few years before I saw "Blake's 7" and I still wanted an Amphicat. I later found out they were made locally, in Auburn Hills, Michigan about 30 miles from me and got to drive one. By that time, there were other 6x6's on my list. I had graduated to wanting one with a jet drive so it could do at least 10 knots in water, like a Wedge, Hustler, Snoopy, or Terra Jet.

"Ark II" came before "Space Academy". A lot of props, and sound effects, were recycled for the latter, including the Ark itself. They just lifted the fiberglass Ark II body off the Ford truck used in Ark II, did some fiberglass work to close off the wheel wells, added some "space trim" and viola, an inexpensive, full-size "Seeker" space craft for when they needed to show it on a planet with cast getting on and off. Sure looked better than a Star Trek shuttle, which kinda screamed "plywood" even to a seven-year-old kid back in 1969. A little more trim upgraded it to the "Starfire" in "Jason of Star Command". That was not "a knock off version of Robby the Robot" in "Space Academy". It was the real Robby, just with a different dome.

You're definitely a man of passion and I can tell you've been having so much fun gathering up and putting out this content. It's been a total thrill for me to relive so many memories and to make some new ones too. It was fun to watch your channel grow and evolve. Keep cranking out the great content. I'll definitely be here for the ride and memories. In regards to this video, Shazam/Isis and The Banana Splits were my favorites. Some of the others I do remembers, while others, I never heard of. Or maybe I just blocked them from my memory. Hahaha!

Thanks for the great memories!

Amazing how they thought we wouldn't notice when they replaced Jackson Bostwick as Captain Marvel. We did, and we didn't like it. Not much we could do about it though. Boo.

Of course we noticed, but it is funny how there was not even places to research what happened. It was what it was and we had to deal.

First Shazam looked like Zac Efron.

You forgot about "Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp."

I barely remember that name. It is familiar, but I must not have had a connection. Thanks for bringing it up.

Danger Island, The Banana Splits, Isis, Electro woman and dyna girl, and all of Sid and Marty Krofft were my favorites

Back to simpler times, is what this made Saturday morning better. The banana splits theme is still playing in my head after all these years. Thank you for posting this video 🇺🇸

@@GENXPERIENCE maybe now , but not as a kid ! Wish they had shows like that now !

Watched Isis , hopped on the old banana seat 5 speed after cartoons. Missed those simple days

I loved Shazam and Isis. Great stuff! Looking back on those images, I can still remember the visceral excitement that's normally only available to a child's eye.

Glad you shared that. Only when seeing something for the first time after so long does that feeling getting to relive in us. There are many of these I research and get a little melancholy over. Thank you for commenting.

Banana Splits were hysterical! My brother and I loved that show.

I'm a baby boomer and even I remember a lot of these shows that were on Saturday mornings. Ya, there was nothing like waking up and getting a big bowl of sugary cereal and sit back and watch the Saturday morning cartoons and live action shows on TV. I miss those days in the 70's and the Saturday morning TV shows.

We had a nice cross over there in the early 70s for sure. Plus reruns helped a lot for some of these, but there is no arguing how great it felt. The simply Saturday morning life for a kid. Thanks for watching.

Dude, your research and gathering skills are awesome! As I watched your video, even I was like, "Damn, I remember that one now! totally forgot!"

I loved Saturday morning so much fun!

WOW what a trip back to my childhood! I loved almost every one of these programs!!

So happy you enjoyed. That is the point of it all. Come back soon.

I used to love these shows! No one I know remembers them though, and they look at me like I'm insane when I describe the episodes. LOL!

Thanks for the video, I barely remember The Banana Splitz so I had no idea The Three Musketeers series was a thing. Looks like the complete series is on KZread. :)

Great review of my childhood.

Lancelot Link had lots of "talking chimps". I was an "official" member of the Banana Splits fan club.

I remember shazaam but I couldn't remember the name of that space show. It was space academy Thank you For the memory Rewind

Les Tremayne, who played "Mentor" on SHAZAM! (the old guy driving the motorhome) also appeared as one of the Army generals 20 years earlier in the 1953 version of War of the Worlds.

Les Tremayne along with David Q. Lewis and John Ingle was one of three different Gentlemen to play "Quartermaine" Patriarch "Edward" on "General Hospital." Miss Jane Eliot, who still Plays "Tracy" to this day, once appeared as "Cleopatra" with Miss Deirdre Hall on an an Episode of "Electro Woman & Dyna Girl." And Tremayne and Lewis each Guest Starred on "The Andy Griffith Show." As did the very young Miss Pamelyn Ferdin who later went on to "Space Academy."🤔😉🎤👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️🛸🌚🎥B.W.

I remember almost all of these shows except for the Banana Splits. I actually have a copy of the Shazam magazine you showed, it was actually a large comic book. I got the DVD of Shazam, sometimes when I'm feeling down I watch a couple of episodes. Great memories 😊

my favorites were Ark II, Shazam and Isis and I also have them on DVD now thanks for the memories...
