Steven was a huge Scooby Doo and Josie And The Pussycats fan!
Do any of you guys remember that first season of Scooby Doo when the group weren’t actually a band, but the producers seemed to think that music should be a part of each episode, preferably in the chase scene? And then all the similarly formatted shows that followed along featured bands as the main characters.
And y’know, bands… dancing… eight frames a second animation… Ugly dancing.
The Archies weren’t the kind of band to inspire wild gyrations and all, but wow… Fred and Daphne had some lame moves. Or should I say “Move”, ’cause they only got one each.
And if you think I shouldn’t be lumping ‘Scooby Doo’, ‘Josie and the Pussycats’, ‘The Archies’, and, I dunno, ‘Speed Buggy’ all into the same group, well then, you don’t REALLY remember Saturday Morning Cartoons. Seriously, my kids know the term ‘Saturday Morning Cartoons’, but they have no personal memory of waiting a whole dang week to see any kind of animation outside of a Sugar Frosted Flakes commercial.
I’m in this picture, and I don’t like it.
We only had 3 channels until I was 8 years old and then our household got cable tv. Saturday Morning Cartoons kept me glued until noon. My Dad became quite patient for my Saturday yard chores. Cut me a lot of slack.
I remember Saturday morning cartoons were over when My Little Pony come on. It was time to get busy and go outside as soon as the intro started. My little sister would come outside after that show was over.
I’ll say this for Filmation… They sure knew how to recycle their images.
Steven’s dance moves would be a deal breaker for most women…
Maybe he can be a “fixer-upper.”
Saturday morning cartoons were fine at home.. but at Gramma’s I got F1, Top Fuel and Funny Car drag racing… man, I miss that.
I remember the Friday prime time cartoons. The Flintstones and Jonny Quest. It was an experiment at cartoons in the Friday prime time slots. The country held it’s breath at the birth of Pebbles. On ABC Feb 22, 1963. We tilted on the edge of nuclear war…..we needed good news. (I was 11 years old)

Got my care package, Greg, thank you so much. I’d tell you on Patreon but those idiots have it locked up tighter than Fort Knox.
Loved Scooby-Doo. A band I was in played a Halloween party dressed as the Scooby-Doo gang. Unfortunately I had to be Daphne . . .
There’s Scooby Doo dancing and then there is PEANUTS dancin!!
What is her problem? Be happy he’s dancing if it’s important to you. I certainly wouldn’t be.
