Saturday Fun Machine

Like other kids in the 80's, most of us wouldn't have a hard time waking up early on a Saturday morning. The reason is to watch the show Saturday Fun Machine in channel 9. I'm not sure how early the show started but I'm guessing it's before 8:00 am because me and my brother would be up already watching cartoons before my parents would even get back from their trip to the market.

For those who were not yet born when this show was aired, Saturday Fun Machine is a show were a lot of 80's cartoons are shown back-to-back. I'd remember asking my aunt to buy me taho from the vendor because I just couldn't bring myself to leave the television.

Correct me if I'm wrong but these are a few of the cartoons that I remember are included in the Saturday Fun Machine:

Care Bears


With the Care Bear cousins


Smurfs

It's a shame Smurfet is not in this picture. :)


Snorkels
The underwater counterparts of the Smurfs. LOL!


Rainbow Brite

I can only recall Red Butler, Lala Orange and Shy Violet. What are the names of Rainbow Brite's other friends?


Shirt Tales



My Little Pony & Friends


Gloworm
Pardon the picture but that's the only I can get here on the internet. Heee!


Pac-Man


And of course the Superfriends


Did I miss anything? Familiar with all of the cartoons? Which is your favorite?

jedimasterrichie: you forgot super6, there is also a non-cartoon show with in the Saturday Fun Machine entitled "The Great Space Coaster". I'm not sure of the the cartoons you posted if they are part of the Saturday fun machine or maybe the latter years because now I'm confused and/or having memory gap since these toons had a separate slot or cartoon show.
