Toonfomercial: CBS promotes its Saturday morning (& afternoon) block (1975)

In 1975, CBS took the "socko" out of CBS Socko Saturday, shortening the name of their Saturday lineup to simply, CBS Saturday, with Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm & Scooby-Doo Where Are You? in permanent rerun, while welcoming Far Out Space Nuts, Secrets of Isis, & Ghost Busters. It should be noted that Valley of The Dinosaurs and Fat Albert were also in reruns.

Keebler pitchman and CBS studio announcer Danny Dark (Super Friends) narrates:



Fat Albert would go back into production the next year. Not noted, of course, is that US of Archie had been moved to Sundays, ending the franchise's run at CBS. Scooby would follow, leaving for ABC in '76.
