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

Superman 60's
Batman 60's
The Superfriends
Shazam/Isis
Star Trek: The Animated Series
Space Academy
Jason Of Star Command
I watched all of these and really enjoyed them.

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.

Loved them all......and the fact that most of them used the same background music and cues

That was like an instant clue you were watching a Filmation production!

The Following were my Favorate Filmation Series. Except for the first Five they are in no particular order. BOLD = Available on DVD.

Star Trek
Lassie's Rescue Rangers
Fantastic Voyage
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Flash Gordon
Shazzam! - I hear the reason this one isn't available on DVD is the same reason the 1966 "Adam West" Batman isn't available on DVD - Multiple Ownership Issues!

Secrets of Isis
Space Acadamy
Jason of Star Command
Ark II
The Hardy Boys
The Archie Show
Archie's Funhouse
Sabrina, The Teenage Witch
The Groovy Ghoulies
The Adventures of Tarzan

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)
