Going to start chronologically here, for posterity sake! If you were to go ahead and wake up bright-n-early at 8am Saturday morning in 1980 and tune in to your local CBS affiliate, odds are you would have seen 'The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle' produced by Filmation, and aired from 1979 to 1981 on CBS with over 32 episodes produced. These cartoons were, quite frankly, terrible. They were part of a glut of revived classic cartoon characters that included the likes of Tom & Jerry with “Adventures” that were so over-censored that they were barely watchable.

WORLDS GREATEST SUPER FRIENDS (1973 - 1986) Over on your local ABC affiliate starting at 8am on Saturday morning in 1980, you would have seen the fourth series of the long-running “Super Friends” cartoon titled “Worlds Greatest Super Friends”. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera and was based on the Justice League of America (JLA) and associated comic book characters published by DC Comics. THIS was the year that they debuted THE WONDER TWINS!!! Zan, Jayna and their blue Monkey Gleek :)
