I would just like to correct the cartoons for GMA-7:

Monday-Mekanda

Tuesday-Daimos

Wednesday-Mazinger Z

Thursday-Grendaizer

Friday-Voltes V

 

I should know because I watched these for two years and it was a hard habit to break when it was stopped. I am pretty sure kids like me felt the same. Star Rangers was shown on BBC-2 if I am not mistaken.

 

I think Star Rangers was on RPN 9?

I think it was BBC-2.

Both of you are actually correct. Star Rangers started on RPN 9 every Saturdays at 5:30PM, and was later re-aired on BBC 2 in the early part of the 80's.

 

There was this Saturday afternoon super hero flick show (for girls) called Electra Woman and Dyna Girl that was shown around 2:30PM on BBC 2. It starred Deidre Hall as the blonde Electra Woman.

 

I remember another sci-fi cartoon show, Sealab 2020 was aired on BBC 2 or RPN 9 every Saturdays at 11:30AM. As a kid growing up in the 70's, the Saturday Fun Machine that featured cartoons from as early as 8AM to 12NN was one of the entertainment highlights. Shazam and Mightor (back to back with Moby Dick) were just some of the cartoon shows aired during that time zone.

 

Spin-A-Win was the viewing habit on Sunday noontime, even before German Moreno came out with Germside. I fondly remember the phrase, "agree or disagree" becoming very popular. And if you got a correct answer, people will reply, "SPIN-A-WIN!" :)

Yes, I posted a page back that "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl" was shown on BBC-2. Saturday Fun Machine started around 1982. "Super Friends" was my favorite cartoon show on SFM. I also remember Sealab 2020. Kasabay ata sila ng "Little Rascals" cartoons. I think "Spin-A-Win" was hosted by Subas Herrero. Correct me if I am wrong.

It was Jeanne Young. She became a household name with this show. Prior to this, she did co-hosting gigs for some TV programs and guested in "Discorama," "Student Canteen," that Ariel Ureta show (I forgot the title), among others.

 

Yup, loved Superfriends too. I think there were two editions - one that had the more complete list which featured Green Lantern, Flash, etc. and the other that had the atrocious "Wonder Twins" and their "wonder twin power, activate..." :). Obviously, I preferred the original one, especially since GL was my favorite superhero.

 

Tama, SFM was early 80's nga ata. Parang after that, yun noontime program ng RPN 9 was "Kwarta O Kahon" by the late Pepe Pimentel, although I'm not sure if the timeline is correct.

 

Here's Jeanne Young....

Girls didn't shave their ehems.

Guys with their dos looked like dicks.

Most local films had FF's (flaming faggots) in tha cast.

Most cars over heat when the aircon was on.

Our car used eight track tapes.

Most bomba stars would look like longkatoots by today's standards.

Some leading men wouldn't even land a job as extras today.

Jokes were really corny. Mababaw pa ang kaligayahan dati.

If you have a position in govt and you didn't make money, tawag sa iyo tanga. But if you did enrich yourself, tawag sa iyo ma abilidad, hindi magnanakaw!

People were obsessed with everything imported, yung stateside! American cars were preferred over Japanese models.

After the oil crisis in 1972-74, the Japanese cars dominated the market. I used to drive a 1302 beetle but I was longing for an L-type colt

 

Daming magaganda noon like sina Hilda Koronel, Alma Moreno, Lorna Tolentino at Rio Locsin

Dina Bonnevie, Techie Agbayani, Chiqui Hollmann, Lotis Key, Aurora Salve, Chona Castillo, Beth Bautista, etc.

Gloria Diaz and Elizabeth Oropesa started the wet t-shirt look

Ang ganda rin nina Yvonne, Rosanna Ortiz plus si Chanda Romero pa.
