Saturday Supercade

 




In our continued look back at cartoons from the 80's that often went overlooked, we look back at the CBS SuperCade Block from 1983.  Everyone network was jumping on the arcade bandwagon and CBS was right near the top- dedicating an entire block of Saturday morning to arcade based shows.  The quality of the games outweighed the cartoons by a county mile.  


Running from September of 1983- December of 1984.... considered to be 2 seasons, CBS had 4, 11 minute cartoon blocks based on video games such as Frogger, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong, jr and Q-Bert.  While based on the video games, even for Saturday morning cartoons in the 80's, these shows were super cheesy and we not well received by kids or teens who were shelling out quarter after quarter on these games
