Saturday Morning Memories

This was a show that I truly enjoyed looking at as a child. The songs may have been corny bubblegum, but they were enjoyable. Also, the back up features (The Three Musketeers, The Arabian Knights and, of course, Danger Island) were what really made this show special. I hope that they will eventually release it on D.V.D. and that the songs will be re-released on compact disc.
