A special nod to Dynomutt The Dog Wonder, who was the first of the 1970's Legends to fall oout of circulation in the 1980's. Although new episodes stopped production in the late 1970's, it was in the year 1980 that Dynomutt had his final run on network Saturday Morning TV as part of NBC's "Godzilla / Dynomutt Hour". It was the beginning of a huge trend; package two or more 1970's re-runs together and sell it to the kids as something that might be new but was really just re-runs.

So here's to you, Dynomutt... thanks for being a part of our 80's Saturday Morning Experience!

Leave your Dynomutt comments, stories and memories here to share with the rest of the group, and if Dynomutt is one of your favorites then don't forget to go vote for him in our Best of 1980 Poll!

This is the opening from the Super Friends as it appeared on Saturday mornings in 1980. The thing I find really interesting about this particular opening is that if I remember correctly, this was the first year they didn't even MENTION characters like Wendy & Marvin or The Wonder Twins, which had been the big selling point through the 1970's. Weird, huh? Please note that there will also be fan pages for the other 1980's versions of The Super Friends such as "Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show" and "The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians". You may remember them from the various i970's incarnations such as "Challenge Of The Super Friends" and "The Worlds Greatest Super Friends", but since this community is all about the 80's Saturday Morning Experience we'll just be focusing on the incarnations from the 1980's (which had all the 1970's episodes recycled in to them anywho).

Comment here with your favorite Super Friends memories, and then if it's your favorite don't forget to go vote for it in our Best of 1980 Poll!

Here's a list of all the cartoons that were on the air between the three major networks in 1980 (according to TV Guide), so we'll start the voting here. I plan to put up polls for every year from 1980 to 1989, with each cartoon only represented once. So you won't see "The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show" every year, but eventually you WILL see "The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show" some time later in the years. Does that make sense? Good :) Now go ahead... choose your top 5!
