Welcome back to those Helicon days of old Saturday
Morning Cartoons of the 1960's and 1970's in these double
disk sets of cartoons from the era many of which have not
been released on neither blu-ray nor DVD. On Saturday morning
cartons of the 60's the excerpted episodes include 3 episodes
from Johnny Cypher In Dimension Zero, Peter Potamus in Fe
fi fo fun, the Flintstones and the infamous episode, the
Flintstones flyer in which Fred cooks up yet another harebrained
plan and drags poor barney along for the ride in this he
tries to build a helicopter but as usual it blows up in
Fred's face. There are (3) excerpted episodes from the Porky
Pig Show as well as (1) episode from Frankenstein Jr (not
to be confused with Grant Morrison's Frankenstein Jr from
the revival of seven soldiers of victory) and the Impossibles
and (3) excerpted episodes from the Adventures of Aquaman,
Menace of Black Manta plus (2) episodes of the Herculiods
and surprise surprise the non campy version of Space Ghost
(not the ultra cheesy 4'Th wall breaking version that was
on adult swim) with Dino boy and a zorak bonus episode attached
to it ***
*** Superman the Force Snatcher, the jetson's has a
date with Jet Screamer, and the Roadrunner show with one
oddly titled episode Beep Beep / Satan's Waitin/ Chili Con
Carnie and Magilla Gorilla Gridiron Gorilla and three episodes
from the 60's era Tom & Jerry Show which are actually redone
and censored shorts from the (40's) no bones about it /
an ill wind Beach bully. and on Saturday Morning Cartoons
of the (70's vol 2) the tone changes somewhat it's still
light and fluffy but some more interesting series do pop
up it's a decent enough sampler of cartoons, through one
question does begged to be asked why include Scooby Doo
the Flintstones & the Jetsons when these have already came
out in full DVD season sets of there own. ***
Image and Sound:
Decent on both vol's Warner Brothers tried to restore
the picture quality but with the faded and dated quality
for some of these series they may never get full DVD or
blu-ray series sets.
