As a little kid, I remember the non-animated shows more than the cartoons. I have vague memories of seeing The Red Skelton Show live, as well as an old Three Stooges movie on a Saturday afternoon. At the age of six, I pondered becoming a variety show host. I also have vague memories of The Courtship of Eddie's Father, and I greatly admired the bachelor upstairs neighbor who had the beads instead of a door. And of course, Wonderful World of Disney, which was quite interesting but also annoyingly void of cartoons to be full of such cartoon potential.

On the cartoon front, I remember greatly enjoying Wacky Racers, which I believe is where Dastardly Dan and Muttley got their start. My mom worked in a day-old bread store, and she had a little portable TV that she would set up in the back (inventory) room, where I would watch cartoons on Saturday morning.

I thought it was Dick Dastardly. And don't forget Penelope Pitstop.

Wow, never heard of that one. Reminds me of the Monster movies with Godzilla. I loved coming home from school and KCTV 5 would be playing Monster Movie week.

Toss up between TNG, Sanford and Son, Larry King, Mr Rogers and Sesame Street.

Probably captain Kangaroo, Major Astro, Romper Room, or Al Goldstien's Midnight Blue.

Loved Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom as a kid. I've always been into nature and exotic animals. I still enjoy stuff like that on Nat Geo.

Speed Racer for me though could've just as easy been The Road Runner Show as well

Ah those heady days. I recall the afternoon monster movie weeks on KCTV5 myself.

Bet you watched this every Saturday as well. Lord knows I did. :D

OH yeah, I remember that.

Not sure I can remember what show I first saw, but I think I can remember which show/s I first listened to crying in my bedroom.

I always got in trouble right around the holiday season and the parents punished me by grounding me from the Peanuts and Rankin/Bass specials on TV. I probably got grounded from watching Wizard of Oz a time or two as well.

Parents played it to the hilt, too. Closed my door, but raised the volume. Gave my sister a seat in the middle of the room with a bowl of popcorn and a soda.

I was a hellion as a 4-5 yo, though, so. . .

It's amazing how many Scooby Doo rip offs there were in the 1970s. Speed Buggy, Captain Caveman, Hong Kong Phooey, Jabberjaw, The Funky Phantom, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, etc
