To have a channel like this is a dream come true for the 62 year old child in me lol I love reliving these moments in my life, thanks Dan, you're the best!!

“Gaaaad, network executives.” That’s a t-shirt Mr.Monroe, too awesome.

[OzScalemodeling]

I think all the NASA recovery crew should wear ape suits when the next astronauts come back :)

[TroyPacelli]

I actually just received this DVD collection as a Christmas gift. I grew up in that 1970s, Mego era, and I loved this show. Thank you so much for this video!

[stephenmilburn]

It always seemed that these Saturday morning shows lasted a lot longer than they did. But when you're 5-10 time is definitely different from 40-50 years old. 😂

My favorite memory of the animated series is an ape driving in his pickup truck and on the radio was that country music hit - “I’m going humanoid over you”.

[AgentRaygun]

I remember watching this when it first aired and thinking the animation reminded me of Marvel Superheroes' style. Not a whole lot of action but enough camera tricks and moving mouths to give it life. Your commentary on that aspect of the series sort of backs that up. It was like the Marvel show, just given an artistic upgrade via Doug Wildey.

1. "How cool is that?" 2. "Lines are open, you decide." 3. "Guh. Network executives." All the Dan Monroe hits!

Johnny Quest was awesome...I saw the reruns when I was kid...

[porkchop]

I rewatched this like 3 times a couple years ago. The thing I remember most is that there was not a single milisecond of humor, not once.

[edwardbloecher]

Johnny Quest was one of my favorites as well.

[acehart]

i am just loving everything you are doing. you are bring back so many memories of show and movies that i loved as a young kid. now i did not get to see all of them but i and able to now. again thank you. big lion hugs. until we meet again, i just can wait.

DePatie-Freleng. Y'know? Freleng? As in Friz Freleng? One of the greatest Warner Bros. cartoon directors. The same company that produced Pink Panther.

As for the executives, my good guess is that they were responding to pressure groups of the time. That's why many of the 70s' cartoons were bland and always had a moral lesson. Filmation was huge on this.

Your channel must be the most professional I have ever watched. I don't know if you're scripted but I appreciate you cutting to the chase of information. Many is the time when I watch other channels and wait 3 to 5 minutes as they hem & haw and speak off the top of their heads before they get to the reason I am watching. I find most my favorite channels are somewhat polished but yours is the best...and your voice is very pleasing.

Is the Tarzan 70s Saturday morning cartoon topical? It was pretty good, but not many episodes and they kept reusing cels. But well-drawn and a few good scripts, iirc.

[JoseyWaless]

This is quickly becoming my favorite channel. I remember watching this series on Saturday morning. My clearest memory was laughing at an ape driving in a pickup truck listening to a song on the radio with the lyrics, "I'm going humanoid over you".

[paulclow]

I loved the ape's franchise, and i remember this cartoon being shown very irregularly on uk TV, btw i did read that the reason that the gorillas had jeeps and trucks was that they were easier to animate than horse's

[flyingwombat]

I was older than the average kid. I was 16 in 1975. I remember the show well. The animation was sub-par because this was during the Dark Ages of American Animation that started were Warner Brothers closed Termite Terrace, their animation studio as a cost-cutting measure. I think this was due to Hanna-Barbera's dominating the market with their cheaper animation.
The Apes didn't have airplanes of their own. In fact, the airplane they had, a WWII vintage P-40 Warhawk was found by Ape Archeologists and restored to flying condition with the purpose of capturing humans with a cargo net slung under the plane. I know because this was my favorite episode.

[jamesgraham]

So glad I found you Dan. Love your enthusiasm and knowledge regarding my favourite shows as a kid. You’re a true gentleman 👍🏻

[TeachLongbeard]

I love your work. You are a road map for my childhood and dreams. Please keep up the good work. Can't wait for Johnny
