Yeah... I recently thought of it because VH1 has been showing "I Love the
70's" series sets... They mentioned the show and commented (among other
things) on how high Sid and Marty Croft had to be to come up with a bunch of
their old shows.  I remember "Space Nuts", "The Isis and Shazam Hour" (or
something like that) "Super Buggy" , "Banana Splits", "H. R. Puffinstuff"
and a bunch of those other semi-psychedelic, live-action "kids shows" from
the early and mid 70's.  (I grew up on those things, being born in 1970
m'self.)

I also remember a number of cartoon and cartoon/live-action mixed shows that
I wish I knew the names of.  (Like the 3 teens who could change into the
Wolfman, Dracula, and Frankenstein's monster... or the one with the cat who
used to daydream about being a super hero, or spaceman, and such...)

(Speaking of cartoons, who else here thinks that Scrappy Doo deserved the
"Bullet In Their Brain" award as the most annoying "add on" character in
cartoon history?  Man, I could handle the Smurfs better than I could deal
with him.  At least with the Smurfs, the whole show was bad... With Scrappy,
it was a single character in an otherwise cool show...  I comment on this
because my toddler daughter just fell asleep watching the live-action Scooby
Doo movie...)

Anyone else here remember "That's Incredible", "Real People", or "Kids Are
People Too."?
