OK, does anyone remember the ABC Saturday morning shows. Im not talking about the cartoons. I'm talking about the shows. I'll list a few and if anyone else can jog my memory, I'd love that. Here goes:
Electra woman and Dinah girl, Shazamm, Isis, Land of the Lost.
Send me your memories. I anxiously await your responses.

OMG, HR Puff n Stuff, Banana Splits, and new zoo Review are so forward in my mind. I can still sing the theme song for banana splits. Thanks for the memories. I don't recall the magic door or the last three in your list, but the electric company is one of my all time favorites. I have the theme song on a cd that I created.

Do you guys remember this from Zoom...
Hiby frebends, it's ubby dubby time...LOL.
It's amazing what things get inbedded in the mind. I had a crush on Dave, I think that was his name. He had the blonde shaggy hair parted on the side. Somewhere in a box I still have the recipe for stained glass cookies from Zoom and he was on the front of the postcard! Remember the intro where each kid would announce their name and the one girl would do that entwined twirling with her arms...I still know how to do that...I'm goofy

OMG, have you seen the new Dr Who? Good show, but not what I remeber. It;'s a big let down IMO, just because the memory is not there. Monty Python is a big favorite. I dig the movies as well Oh, and BOwser was the coolest. i fondly recall watching "grease" mostly because I had heard that sha na na was going to be at the prom. LOL.
Thanks for them memories, as Bob Hope would say.

Now that I think about it, I can't remember anything much other than cartoons. We watched the Muppet Show. Then I just remember the shows my mom watched, because that's what we watched. Those were the Love Boat, Knight Rider, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King - shows like that.

HR Puff n Stuff, Banana Splits, School House Rock, Sigmond and the Sea Monster, oh my, reading your responses took me down such a wonderful memory lane. Lost in Space was one of my favorites and The Monkeys, remember the Monkeys. They had a show and I never wanted to miss it. I watched Shazamm too but I didn't like Isis. Go figure!! I can remember getting up early on Saturday morning just to watch the cartoons and TV shows. Then I'd try to be the one to put my siblings down for a nap so I could take a nap too.

I looooved shazaam. I thought that he was "like mega cute." The Monkies? OMG. I still have a crush on Davy Jones. I had forgotten about them. Funny thing is that everytime the friggn brady bunch movie comes on tbs I watch it and I laugh histerically when davy jones sings at the dance and I laugh extra hard when the other monkies are the judges at the talent show. Thanks for bringing that back to me.
