Filmation was ahead of their time with promoting African-Americans... in 1969 they had the FIRST African-American regular in a cartoon.. Pete Jones of the Cartoon "The Hardy Boys". This was one year before Valerie Brown of "Josie in the Pussicats (Who was the First African-American Female Cartoon Regular)
@Jazzy9964 And that was also 3 years before Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids became the second Saturday morning cartoon with a predominately African-American cast of characters (preceeded by Hanna-Barbera's Harlem Globetrotters in 1970 and Rankin/Bass' The Jackson 5 in 1971), but one of the first of many series which taught a moral lesson as Filmation had a panel of educators who made sure this and other shows did just that, most of whom were from UCLA and headed by Dr. Gordon Berry.
The show yoboricua9 is referring to may be Filmations life action show, ARK II. It was mobile laboratory mmann by scientists to help rebuild a future earth left in ruins by pollution and man's general carelessness. I attempted to post this answer yesterday but wasnt sure if it took. pls forgive a dup post.
Oh yeah, I remember this cartoon. I also remember another series that had to do with an "Ark" of some kind. If anyone can remember what I'm talking about, post the answer on here.
There a live action Saturday morning show called Ark II. I was about a group of young people trying to help diff communities in future where Earth was in ruins due to pollution etc. Could that be the series?
My LORD!!! One of my favorite toons ever! Filmation was the shit. From the incidental music and sound effects to the animation style and far out story lines I LOVED this toon. Been looking for some semblance of it for years. Thanks YOUTUBE and Palitoy. I love you. :-p
"Plastic Man" WITH SOUL! LOL! Wow, Super Stretch...along with Super Samurai...was my favorite on the SUPER 7. And he went head-2-head with Plastic-Man at around the same time. Kim Hamilton (from lots of things) and Ty Henderson (from SPACE ACADEMY) had GREAT voices!
They sound more like a brother and sister duo than a husband and wife they almost look like twins. Christie and Christopher Cross.(not to confuse the singer/Songwriter)
In the tradition of Nick and Nora Charles (in the movies) a loving couple having a blast going after the bad guys! Utterly Cool! (Can't believe I forgot this!!!)-----mike
I remember this fondly, this is the episode of "Super Starch and Magna Woman" their complete opposites. Super starch stiffens into a diamond substance and Magna Woman grows. Thanks for this clip, great childhood memories!
Ahhh...man, the good ole' 70's! I loved this when I was a kid. No jive talk, exaggerated features, just a guy and his girl fighting crime. Thanks for this memory!
You don't have to be black to like this cartoon. I'm Native American (what some people call Indian) and I liked this cartoon.

C'mon, it's lovely. It's FUN. What more can you ask for?
Kids still love Filmation's productions, when they are exposed to them. They're timeless classics that will never be matched - that's a fact.

It was cool to have black super heroes in the 1970's who weren't patronizing or cliche, but were hip and smart.
