Where to Watch
Only a true Seventies kid can name all these cartoons from 1979
There sure were a lot of ghosts on Saturday morning.
Yes, we recently suggested that 1969 was the best year for Saturday morning cartoons, but 1979 was nothing to sneeze at. Many familiar animated faces remained, from Bugs and Daffy to Popeye and the Jetsons.
In fact, if you were born a decade later, you had some pretty cool bragging rights. You got to enjoy the Globetrotters.
We gathered a bunch of Saturday morning cartoons from 1979 (plus a live-action show and a special). See if you can recognize them! Only a totally Seventies kid will ace it.

10/13 I was 5 years old in 1979.
13, 5 and 1979 are prime numbers.
5 of 13...much more of a 1960's cartoon fan...
I missed 4, at that time there were 3 networks showing cartoons all morning long. Must have been watching other channels. The good old days!
11/13! missed numbers 5 and 10.
The early 1970s had much better cartoons: The Archies, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Josie and the Pussycats, The Groovie Goolies, The Harlem Globetrotters, The Pink Panther, H R Pufnstuf, plus Scooby Doo and Bugs Bunny. There is no comparison!
Nailed it!!
5 out 13!!

I was 22 in 79 and as someone already said, cartoons weren't that great in the 70s.
So... 8 out of 13

Groovy! I've got a funkyfresh 10 out of a 10!
8/13 I was a kid in the Seventies but I couldn't remember half of them. I took a few lucky guesses.
13/13 I loved cartoons as a kid and still love cartoons as a grown man
Funky Phantom was my favorite Saturday Morning cartoon.
12/13, but cartoons were pretty bad in the 70's.
Not all of them.
7/16 Watched Zero of them. Jonny Quest and SpaceGhost.
Got them all (was 5 in 1979)...Plastic Man was my favorite of the bunch.
11 out of 13. I was usually at work on Saturdays in 1979.
I remembered some, but wasn't really a cartoon viewer anymore in '79. So, my "school" score is a 62. :(
