NBC Saturday Morning Bumpers

A montage of NBC Saturday Morning commercial bumpers from 1978 to 1990.

By the way, the announcer for many of these bumpers, particularly those from 1980 to 1987, is Casey Kasem, a veteran voice actor probably best known as the voice of Shaggy of Scooby-Doo fame.

@disneyfan85

this video has a bad quality it looks tearing and too blurry to see title shown.

Any explanation?

From other user is looking much better quality.

[disneyfan85]

@brainysnaeha As I've said before, this is just how I found the videos. All I did was cobble them together like this.

@disneyfan85

what is that jingle called at the beginning?

[disneyfan85]

@brainysnaeha That's the music for PBS from 1971 to 1984.

[mikeym820]

Whats is the opening sound effect?

[disneyfan85]

That would be the music for the 1971 ID for PBS.

honestly kids born from the 90's on up would have to see the way saturday morning cartoons were in the early 80's to believe it, EVERY channel was showing cartoons 2 thru 13! at any givin time you would channel surf back n forth to the smurfs, shirt tales, turbo teen, richie rich, the loonie tunes, littles, it went on and on!, and dont get me started on the ABC (and other channels) PSA's "yuckmouth" "dont drown your food" etc..i cant fit it all in here but it was off the hook. nostalgia here...

yeah, i liked it better when the major networks all ran saturday morning cartoons. Years later they slowly phased that out so that only specialty channels (kids networks) hosted them. Now my parents have 900 channels on satellite and can't easily surf them all like you could back then. My kids are surely missing out.

Man, I miss waking up, watching CBS/ABC upstairs with my mom and then going downstairs around 11 to watch NBC's stuff on (constantly dubbed-over) VHS. Like 80% was a cartoon version of whatever live-action TV or movie was popular, plus a magical talking dog, but growing up in the 80s was awesome. the guy talking about 1992 already missed a lot of the experience..

As a kid, I would remember watching cartoons all Saturday morning, then after going outside or ride in my moms car, come back home ice cream cone in hand and watch some PBA Bowling on ABC. Man, I miss those days!!!

@beyo2120 Might have to modify that a bit. I know NBC didn't have cartoons in '92 but I remember how saturday cartoons used to be and I was born in '92. I think kids born in the mid 90's might not know what it was like.Those kids probably don't even know about Life with Louie, Carmen Sandiego, or The Tick. I might be a rare guy because whatever my older brothers and sisters watched, I watched so what ever. If you were born in '92 you might or might not remember.

NO MORE SMURFIN' SMURFS!

Actually, Kasem isn't best known for his voice acting. It's Top 40 countdown like Dick Clark.

[BuckeyeRidley]

Love this. Thanks for sharing. The final part with the claymation brings back great memories from '89 & '90.

[NitekMuscle]

This was perhaps the last great era of Saturday Morning Cartoons.

Can't mistake the voice of Casey Kasem

Boomerang & The Hub aren't widely available. I wish the networks would have retro Saturdays. Their line up is awful. The remakes are terrible, and the new stuff is just a disappointment. Fans should not be apathetic & write in continually to these networks requesting retro shows back in certain timed blocks. My Nephews love my 80s DVDs and stream 80s toons on Netflix. TV Land & Cartoon Newtwork could have a 80s Saturday. They're more available than The Hub or Boomerang. Write in when yer bored.
