The 1975 T&J’s also have the best animation of any version of T&J. They’re also the most amazing!

I consider the red tie version of Tom and Jerry to be by far the best version of T&J. I think Jerry looks good in a red tie & besides those T&J cartoons have the world’s best theme song. Mostly I like it best because Tom doesn’t have as much bad luck & I always stick up for him when I watch T&J. Those T&J’s, I’m telling you, are more original than any of the others.

I am a HUGE fan of composer Ted Nichols’ scores for the 1960s Hanna Barbera superhero shows (Young Samson, etc.) — not just the theme music, but also the background music. Was this music ever collected on LP or CD? If not, are there plans to do so?

That sounds like Marine Boy. There's an episode included on one of the previous sets in this series, Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960s Volume 1.

You may be on to something! Per these notes on an interview with Jerry Beck, "the 60s releases aren't proving as successful as Warner would like, so they will continue with a Saturday Morning Cartoons 1970s Volume 3 set, and also try a Saturday Morning Cartoons 1980s Volume 1 set at the same time." This isn't an official announcement, but a good source.

I would hesitate to spend money on these collections because I wouldn’t like all of the things they contain. If Hanna-Barbera ever put out an assortment DVD of just their realistically-drawn super-heroes–like the Superfriends, Birdman, and Space Ghost, as opposed to the Impossibles or Captain Caveman–I would definitely get that.

I would also totally buy a Hanna-Barbera 1980s compilation, with shows like Pac-Man, Snorks, and Gobots–provided they truly stuck to the ’80s and didn’t try to fob off something from 1976 on us.

Thanks for reviewing these – I’d been debating whether or not to pick up the 70s vol II ( which is where the Shazzan doc is located, if memory serves).

Delighted to see the Banana Splits mentioned – Gene Pitney! Who knew.

Aghast to be reminded of the barren 70s – remember the “I Dream Of Jeannie” toon with the plump buffoon genie? “The Partridge Family 2200 AD?” The animated Bradys ( with an appearance by Wonder Woman?)
It is to cry.

Thanks for the work, KC and Johanna
