I enjoyed the majority of the Filmation products that were released. Even though the low production budgets made them (makes them now) look rather "cheesy" they were certainly entertaining.

Among the best (IMHO):

1) The Ghost Busters
2) Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids
3) The U.S. of Archie
4) Shazam/Isis
5) Star Trek: The Animated Series

Star Trek won an Emmy Award and reunited most of the original cast
(with the exception of Walter Koenig, who penned at least one script).
Flash Gordon was also exceptional, particularly the pilot (which aired on
NBC in prime-time, no less). Overall, the adventure shows were better than
the comedy shows from Filmation (which, I thought, were kind of cheesy and
corny on the whole; although the Archie show did contain some very
good music, thanks to Don Kirshner, who also developed The Monkees). And
the two Gilligan series (The New Adventures of Gilligan, Gilligan's Planet)
weren't bad. They did manage to reunite most of the original cast (with the
exception of Tina Louise). In fact, in the second cartoon series, Dawn Wells
played both Mary Ann and Ginger!

IMO, The best cartoons that Filmation ever did are:

1. Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids
2. Star Trek
3. Bravestarr
4. Tarzan

Their live action shows, however, were bette than most of their cartoons! I was (md still am) a huge fan of Isis and Shazam!

I remember watching Space Academy and Fat Albert a lot, and most of the others at least occasionally. Great memories.

These were some of my favorite shows to watch on Saturday mornings, and have now been collecting them on DVD-

(The ones in bold are the ones I have so far on DVD)

The ones I watched:
Ark II
Space Academy(The shuttle is actually the Ark II modified)
Jason Of Star Command
The Shazam/Isis Hour
The Ghost Busters
Flash Gordon(though the show fell apart when they added the pink dragon)
Star Trek
Fat Albert
He-Man
Gilligan's Planet
Blackstar
Bravestarr

I wish they'd release the animated film- Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All(too bad they didn't include it in the animated Flash Gordon DVD set)
