1970s Kids Will Remember These Classic Saturday Morning Cartoons

Indoor scene with cartoon character, window bars, wooden structure, nighttime, yellow and brown tones.

If you're part of the lucky generation who grew up in the 70s, buckle up: you're in for a trip down memory lane! This video is a compilation of many popular theme songs from Saturday cartoons, with a few classic advertisements thrown in as well. Simply put? It's a decade of memories packed into thirty minutes.

An adult male character in formal attire from mid-20th century wearing a yellow bow tie, holding french fries with ketchup and lettuce on top of them.

We begin with a classic even the younger generation will recognize: "The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Show." All your favorite characters dance around on screen before Bugs passes things over to his "fast fellow friend," Roadrunner.

Even if you've never watched a full episode before, it's fairly easy to figure out that Wile E. Coyote isn't ever going to catch him. Still, that sure doesn't deter him from trying!

An orange off-road buggy in motion, driven by an adult male with short dark hair wearing a green jacket over a blue shirt or sweater and a white-shirted passenger with short brown hair and a black tie, set against a bright midday desert landscape.

After a quick PSA from Time For Timer, we move on to another classic: Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. Lifelong fans will surely enjoy rewatching the same upbeat, animated intro they remember fondly from their childhood days.

Next, we're shown the intro from Jonny Quest before we see our first old-time ad. Unlike today's commercials, this short ad has a short story where Crisp knits his way to victory against a giant ball of space yarn.

An older adult male wearing a sailor outfit stands near another older adult male with a walking stick, both dressed for spring or summer in front of a zoo office sign.

After Crisp saves the day, we move on to TV Magic Cards, an easy way to "wow" your friends with card tricks (for the low price of $1.98).

It might not be possible to watch old-time 70s cartoons live on TV anymore. Still, with this extensive compilation, at least you can relive the memories! We're sure you'll remember most—if not all—of these classic intros and advertisements.
