I'd add to that list the 1966 Spider-man and Fantastic Four, Space Ghost (voiced by the legendary Gary Owens, who also voiced Roger Ramjet), The New Adventures of Superman (which ran quite a bit before Super Friends), and whatever was the container title for airing Warner's Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies on Saturday mornings (I think it was The Bugs Bunny Show, but don't quote me on that).

These aren't cartoons, but I'll throw in a good word for Gerry Anderson's early "Super-Marionation" sci-fi puppet shows: Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, and Thunderbirds. (Fireball XL5 ran on Saturday mornings on NBC from 1963 to 1965; the rest of them were run in first-run syndication, so when they ran varied depending on what market you were in.)

Good times. I pity the kids growing up today; they don't know the joys of getting wired up on sugary cereals and watching truly classic cartoons on a Saturday morning.

Popeye, Mr Magoo, Bugs Bunny, Dudley Do-Right, Deputy Dawg, Then the shows that were not cartoons like Leave it to Beaver, I Love Lucy, The Three Stogies, and The Little Rascals.
Forgot one - the old Harlem Globetrotters cartoon, back in the day of Meadowlark Lemon and Curly Neal. I always enjoyed their cartoon show. Saw them perform in person a couple of times too.

I loved Mighty Mouse. And Scooby Doo! Tom & Jerry, too.

...I was always a little disappointed at the endings of Scooby Doo. I wanted the ghosts and monsters to be real (foreshadowing my later enthusiasm for horror movies), but instead it was always some guy in a costume who was foiled by "those meddling kids". Originally Posted by SpankyJ

And I definitely can't forget South Park! I remember my grandpa would always stay up with me until 11pm on Friday nights so we could watch it together when I was a kid.

My Saturday morning wasn't complete without this song.
