CBS' Saturday morning schedule ad, 1982

 CBS took out this two page ad appearing in various comic books in the summer of 1982:


The title of the ad is a bit risky, since there was this game show on TBS, and.....!

Anyway, Sylvester & Tweety, Daffy & Speedy merges together the former's mid-70's series with the latter's run on NBC that had ended a year earlier, and really isn't new. Labeling The CBS Children's Film Festival as new is wrong, too, since it was actually returning to the schedule after an absence. 30 Minutes was cancelled to make room.

We've previously reviewed the three highlighted frosh:

Gilligan's Planet was a rehash of 1974's New Adventures of Gilligan, but now set in space. The last Filmation series produced for a network.

Pandamonium & Meatballs & Spaghetti were collaborative efforts between Marvel Productions and Fred Silverman's Intermedia Entertaiment.
