Lee is referring to! <br /><br />This carried on into the early days of Magilla Gorilla and Peter Potamus, before those shows moved to Saturday and Sunday AM on the ABC Network. <br /><br />In fact, if Quick Draw McGraw hadn’t made a similar move to CBS Saturday morning about (I’m guessing from childhood memories) 1962 or ’63, we would have had a H-B show on EVERY NIGHT at 7 PM. When The Quick Draw McGraw Show moved, it was replaced by The Woody Woodpecker Show, giving us the following schedule on WPIX 11 by 1964 (again, if memory serves me correctly):<br /><br />Each night at 6:30 George Reeves in The Adventures of Superman.<br /><br />Monday at 7: Huckleberry Hound. Tuesday: Woody Woodpecker. Wednesday: Peter Potamus. Thursday: Yogi Bear. Friday: Magilla Gorilla.<br /><br />And then, once per week, The Flintstones (and for one season) Jonny Quest on ABC at 7:30. <br /><br />When The Flintstones moved to local syndication after network cancellation, it aired in on WNEW (Now FOX-5) at 6:30 – flipping the order with it now airing BEFORE the other WPIX shows in New York.<br /><br />Also about this same time, WNEW also split Quick Draw, Augie Doggie, and Snooper and Blabber into SPEARATE SHOWS of three cartoons each to air at 5 PM. Bugs Bunny may have covered the other two days, certainly one day. Can’t quite remember the other. That schedule may have been Quick Draw (Monday), Augie (Tuesday), Bugs? (Wednesday), Snooper and Blabber (Thursday), and Bugs (Friday). <br /> <br />Each one of these shows opened with clips cut from one of the cartoons with a jazzy theme played over them. <br /><br />Ah, New York memories… <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-23884038693504970312016-03-23T10:54:18.682-07:002016-03-23T10:54:18.682-07:00Back in the late 1950s-early 60s when 'prime t...Back in the late 1950s-early 60s when 'prime time' started at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, WPIX in New York slotted Huck's show at 7 p.m. (which at the time would have been up against only 15 minute national news shows on the local network channels).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-19031667078935096622016-03-23T09:55:22.872-07:002016-03-23T09:55:22.872-07:00I continue to love Huck and Yogi all these years l...I continue to love Huck and Yogi all these years later and they fill a lot of space among my collectibles. They make me happy just as they did when they first aired so long ago! They never get old! Darrell Carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479156821558821655noreply@blogger.com
