CBS Saturday Morning 1969
CBS started their Saturday morning broadcasts an hour early this year to get the jump in this increasingly competitive market. Archie increased to an hour and Wacky Races was split into two shows - The Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Dastardly and Muttley In Their Flying Machines. Top it off with some dog detective show named Scooby Doo Where Are You? and some Bugs Bunny/Road Runner and you have quite a winning combination. This isn't even counting the Jetsons reruns which were always very popular.
The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour - Warner Brothers/Seven Arts Introduction
Dastardly and Muttley In Their Flying Machines - Pilot - Follow That Feather
The Perils of Penelope Pitstop - Opening
Scooby Doo Where Are You? - Original Intro
The Archie Comedy Hour - Intro (This is the intro to Archie and His New Pals which is almost identical)
Wacky Races - Coming Up Next Bumper

Free Live Streaming Concerts
Wolfgang's Vault has at least a few hundred streaming live concerts that are available for free streaming. Most of them are from the late 1970's/early 1980's vintage but there is a lot of really good stuff here.

American Concept Cars From the 50's and 60's
Follow the link below for a massive collection of photos and videos featuring concept cars from the 50's and 60's. A lot of these beauties look like Jetsons cars!

Wacky Races
First airing in 1968, I really used to like this cartoon and it is still quite fun to watch with lots of familiar animation voices. All episodes are available on DVD and I think that most episodes are available on youtube. Two spinoff series were created for the next year, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Dastardly and Muttley.

Around the Music World In Four Jumps
Various Artists - United Artists Doo-Wop Volume 4 (posted at Tobaldolang's House of Music)
A nice collection of doo-wop (classic rock from the 50's with vocal harmonies). Link
Bappi Lohiri - Jyoti OST (posted at Music From the Third Floor)
A fine Bollywood (Indian Hollywood) soundtrack from 1981. Link
Various Artists - The 'F' Word - Xtabay Trax Vol. 2 (posted at Xtabays World)
Nice collection of rare funk tunes. Link
Carabao - tho. thahan otthon (posted at monrakplengthai)
The band's name is actually คาราบาว and the album's title is better said as ท. ทหารà¸à¸”ทน but all you need know is that this is the most popular Thai rock band ever. These aren't my words of course but I don't really know a lot about Thai rock history. Link

Marvel Superheroes at Six Flags Video Clip
This one was taken from a home movie clip from the late 70's and eventually posted at Plaid-Stallions.
Dancin' In the 80's With K-Tel
The K-Tel blog has posted this vinyl rip that has all of your favorite early 80' songs - Rapper's Delight, Second Time Around, and THE VILLAGE PEOPLE. Ok, so maybe it's not all of your favorite 80's songs or maybe even none of them (I was a huge RAPPER'S DELIGHT fan) but it is delightfully dated.

Old 78 RPM Discs Used in Games
I guess you could consider them a sort of predecessor to the modern VCR and DVD board games. Exmaples posted are a Horse Racing disc and a Puzzle Record. It's a puzzle to me what the second one was used for but they are a fun listen.

Old Calendars
This one has been making the rounds on the net lately so I just wanted to clue my readers in to the fact that you can actually use old calendars instead of a 2009 calendar! I guess there are only fourteen different combinations for the days of the year falling on the right day of the month (7 for regular years, 7 for leap years) - which makes sense if you think about it - so you can find some really cool vintage calendars and make your home or office look really cool. The holidays will mostly be correct but some of the floaters (Easter, Memorial Day, etc.) will be off. Off to Ebay to find something cool!
Shazzan!
This one was a little weird - a science-fiction show about a genie that befriends a couple of kids and takes them back in time. Don't forget their camel, Kaboobie, who sounds a lot like another of HB's hot properties (starting a long trend of copying elements from various cartoons and not always coming up with something original). Again, no official dvd release but all episodes are available on youtube, many in high quality.
Episode 1 - The Living Island (High Quality video available)
Episode 2 - Master of the Thieves
Episode 3 - Valley of the Giants
Episode 4 - The Black Sultan

Mirage Studios has put lots of back issues of TMNT up for everyone to enjoy. This stuff is much better than the cartoon!

The Herculoids
Another Alex Toth designed Hanna-Barbera action oriented cartoon that was created for the action crazed market of the mid sixties and ran for two years. It seems that there is no official dvd release but all of the episodes are available on youtube.
Episode 1 - The Mutoids
Episode 2 - The Gladiators of Kyanite
Episode 3 - The Antidote
Episode 4 - Attack From Space

Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles
Interesting show featuring a cast of rock band heroes with useless powers and a big mechanical flying Frankensteinesque monster. I think it was announced for dvd once but I don't think that it ever came out. It seems that most episodes are available on youtube and the high quality captures of the Impossibles episodes look really good.
Episode 1 - The Shocking Electrical Monster
Episode 2 - The Spyder Man
Episode 3 - The Menace From the Wax Museum
The Impossibles - Episode 1 - The Bubbler (High Quality video available)
The Impossibles - Episode 2 - The Spinner (High Quality video available)
The Impossibles - Episode 3 - The Perilous Paper Doll (High Quality available)

Star Trek - Unused Title and Intro Music
Just found this one on the net and thought it would be a good share. Not great video quality but the audio is what you are there for anyway.
Which do you like better, this one or the one that they ended up using? Me, I will stick with the one that ended up getting used.

Cortijo y Su Combo Con Ismael Rivera - Fiesta Boricua (posted at Global Groove)

Various Artists - Otuzbiz Cekmek: Turkish Essentials (posted at Knifefightingjesus)
I love old Turkish music with that psychedelic hint in the background so this comp is right up my alley. There are sound samples that you can listen to before commiting to the download. Link
