Some YouTube Nostalgia, For Children of the 70s

‘s posting YouTube links of several performances of The Who got me thinking of using the site as a nostalgia machine, so I did a quick search.

Watch and remember:

Jason of Star Command Intro –70s live-action Saturday Morning SF show.

Space Academy Intro –Another one, from the same studio (Filmation). I’ve actually got episodes of this on VHS, from when they were re-broadcast on Sci-Fi Channel.

Isis! — More Filmation live-action, apparently coming to DVD next year. I bought a VHS tape of episodes at a convention….we watched them. They’re really awful, but I still get a twinge of early-sexual-thought shivers when I see her in the Isis outfit. Can’t help it.

Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle — Late 70s cartoon from (you guessed it) Filmation. I *LOVED* this show — mostly because it is the only adaptation of Tarzan that I’ve ever seen which actually stays pretty close to the books, with all of the pulp elements (lost cities, talking Mangani apes, etc.).

Flash Gordon cartoon intro — Again, Filmation — I couldn’t find anything but this, which is the Spanish version (oddly), but the animation is as good as I remembered it. It’s out on DVD now, and cheap. I need to order it.
