I remember I watched this show back in September 1983 when I was-get this-18! But I didn’t care if other people thought that 18 was too old for cartoons! I loved Alvin and The Chipmunks and I remembered watched them on The Alvin Show way back in the 1960’s so I was delighted to see them returning to television for new adventures! Thanks for posting this wonderful memory!
I'm glad that this turned up on youtube because the night that it was on tv I was out working out.I see it's also got great nostalgia with Fred, Barney,Alvin and the Chipmunks,Gumby,Pokey,Kukla,Fran,and Ollie,Pebbles,Bamm Bamm,etc.and so forth.
Thank you for posting these Saturday morning preview specials thanks alot i thought i would never see these classic preview specials again i was a little kid when these specials first aired the kids today are brainwashed to miss out on these classic gems.
QBCNetwork For being the 4th largest market in the States,Houston sure pre-empted a lot of network television with alternate programming,it sounds like.American Bandstand & The Price Is Right are 2 other examples that come to mind that I heard about.
John W Landry Price Is Right for 2 years (1980-82), American Bandstand for 25 years, Edge of Night (1976-84). We also didn't have Spinoff, Give N Take, Blockbusters (both editions), Trivia Trap,, All Star Blitz, Double Talk, Match Game 90, Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak, the list goes on.
QBCNetwork Oh,I thought it was only for 7 years that Houston didn't get the American Bandstand because of some similarly themed local show?There was a couple of those shows we didn't get on our ABC affiliate we then had out of Bangor,Maine(WVII-TV) either.All-Star Blitz,Match Game '90,The Edge Of Night during its final few seasons,& Family Feud during the last 6 months or so of its ABC run.
"open my mouth and gag me with a yummy?" Yikes...lol Who wrote that?! I love the MR.T cartoon. It's amazing how HUGE T was an how people have forgotten that. I live SM and his amazing friends. Great music. If anyone wants to SEE spidey, he's in the last season of family ties where Gus moves into the neighborhood and there's trouble cuz he's black. He plays one of the cops at the end. THAT (dummies') voice was severely missed on tv. So is that bnw dog saying chocolate, the nestle jingle Bailey sings on WKRP? Funny how the quality of this video ruins how pretty justine bateman was. Funny how we were just happy SEEING the live action versions of characters and now twitter would explode is ANY of these people were cast lmao YES Saturday Supercade!!! THANK YOU!!!
The channel Knight Rider Historians recently uploaded Laff Busters and it features Thom Bray from Riptide, Danny Cooksey from Diff’rent Strokes, Alfonso Ribiero from Silver Spoons with James Avery (Uncle Phil) as a henchman and K.I.T.T.

This was just an NBC "Saturday Morning Preview". They came up with a different idea for 1984- so there never WAS a "Second Annual Yummy Awards" {"The Most Lickable Awards on Television!", promised the ad in TV GUIDE}......
It also cross-promoted NBC's current stars (a favorite "stunt" of NBC executives Brandon Tartikoff and Warren Littlefield, who learned from the "master"- Fred Silverman).
This is so awesome I can't even begin to explain. I was a little older by now to be watching this stuff and I don't recall seeing it. I can tell you, though, that it epitomizes everything that the 80s were about.
From Wheel of Fortune to The $25,000/$100,000 Pyramid, The Newlywed Game to the Academy Awards, American Bandstand to the American Music Awards, Tic Tac Dough to Dance Fever, the late Charlie O'Donnell was one of television's most beloved announcers. Although Charlie O is no longer with us, his memory and his legacy will live on forever...
Tr3! Take it from me! Tr3 is tough! Spray on wax! Still Have the bottle! 😎 Did ricky mess up like so many poor hollywood kids surrounded by pressure and some pervs Still remember that sad show with ricky over a breakup

I have to compliment Ricky Schroeder maintaining his dignity throughout this.

You're welcome!
I have NEVER forgotten this, even though I was 14, older than the intended target audience.
I'm glad that this turned up on youtube because the night that it was on tv I was out working out.I see it's also got great nostalgia with Fred, Barney,Alvin and the Chipmunks,Gumby,Pokey,Kukla,Fran,and Ollie,Pebbles,Bamm Bamm,etc.and so forth.
the Chipmunk bits in this are an absolute blessing to this earth.
Thank you for posting these Saturday morning preview specials thanks alot i thought i would never see these classic preview specials again i was a little kid when these specials first aired the kids today are brainwashed to miss out on these classic gems.
+Tonya Totten You're Welcome.
The Saturday morning fall preview shows were awesome. I couldn't wait to see what new cartoons were going to air in the fall.
Looks like Ricky Schroeder will become the next host of the Oscars, The Emmy's, or even MTV awards from Movie and TV / VMA's.
used to LOVE these specials as kid!!!
Musical director Peter Matz did a great job of arranging the Rob Mounsey-composed NBC "Be There" jingle!
And Charlie O'Donnell was a great announcer for this special and most others he did.
Paul Winchell also uinvented the first mechanical artificial heart besides being the puppeteer of Jerry Mahoney and the voice of Tigger and gargamel
Wow.......I _barely_ remmeber these! Talk about Saturday specials from back in the _day_ boy!
This show packs a punch with Fred and Barney, Gumby, and Papa Smurf
i love saturday morning cartoon where back in a day for manny years to come thanks to all saturday morning have a great time?
Eaves-Brooks Voter Spidey at 39:12 is the best! Love that costume
on december 16th 2017 it's our 17th anniversary since 2001 at 27331 perkins road petersburg, va we our thank you for all of us at the lundy family
Gumby referencing Eddie Murphy is amazing
Thank you for posting this! KPRC in Houston didn't carry this because of a People's Court special!
QBCNetwork I didn't see this myself since i didn't have cable at the time this aired.I live in Canada.

+John W Landry You are right about the similarity local show. In the 1960's, KTRK had Larry Kane, our version of Bandstand.
on december 13th 2017 is our birthday of miss monica lundy we will be 47 years old since 1970
The Gumby segment........just wow. Someone surely fired their agent after that!
Then again, it was either that or bring in Eddie Murphey as Gumby.
Cool stuff
If I wasn't only 1 years old at the time, I would have absolutely loved this.
I remember this

Oh! I almost forgot a message to every Muppet fan out there: Burr Tillstrom's Ollie of Kukla, Fran, and Ollie mentions Jim Henson, clear as crystal!
Burr Tillstrum was a mentor to Jim Henson.
If anyone can find and post a NBC Saturday Morning Preview Show for 84/85 season. It was called Laff Busters. I know I'm such a Big Kid!
The channel Knight Rider Historians recently uploaded Laff Busters and it features Thom Bray from Riptide, Danny Cooksey from Diff’rent Strokes, Alfonso Ribiero from Silver Spoons with James Avery (Uncle Phil) as a henchman and K.I.T.T.

This saturday morning kids tv special also looked back at the kids tv shows that aired on NBC TV and on the other networks.
Good ole Saturday morning cartoons preview.
48:00-1:36:29 Saturday Supercade
I can't tell if this is so bad it's good or if it's just bad. I'm guessing there wasn't a second annual Yummy Awards.

I'm sorry that there was never another "Yummy Awards"on NBC or on any other tv network or station.
HA!!!!
This was Ms.Allison and Mr.Tillstrom's last tv appearance.
That's Charlie O'Donnell announcing.

Audio out-of-sync. Please fix? Thanks. :)
At 39:09, you can see Iceman's junk is out of synch with reality itself.
Murdock/Lt Barclay from Star Trek TNG.
Murdock when this first aired, TNG hadn't been developed yet, but was well on its way as the movies were reviving interest in Star Trek.
I just came for the live-action Thundarr segment.
34:13
39:09 Oh sweet HADES, look at the unit on Iceman. O___O
Cool
That Fame guy scares me.
Barry manilow wannabe
32:20-32:47 What was the name of this music cue? I only heard a portion of it during the first Whosamawhatchamacallits clue about Wonder Woman.
Wow unlike today they remembered. peebles grew up. Teenage Peebles got into as much mischief as Daphne
tomorrow is wednesday october 18th 2017 tomorrow's weather we will be sunshine and cooler?
The Yummy Awards were made to look like the Oscars or The Emmys. Wonder where these Yummy Awards kids are now?
Was this special taped at NBC in Burbank?
That is Burbank. The area looks almost the same today.
Tr3! Take it from me! Tr3 is tough!
Spray on wax! Still Have the bottle! 😎
Did ricky mess up like so many poor hollywood kids surrounded by pressure and some pervs
Still remember that sad show with ricky over a breakup
cool
Ha! NBC got much better since its Smiling Saturday Morning Preview didn't it? They really were smiling then!
Is that Will Forte as Thundarr?
Were there anymore yummy awards after this? I don't remember this at all
Pretty sure, no.
Anyone know the name of the actress playing Ariel?
wow is all i have to say
The Spider-Man parts:
1:33
15:27
28:29
39:14
Is it the same actress for Firestar?

Gumby looks like a Gumby Smurf! Why the heck is he Blue?
The guy from Fame should never sing again!
Guess performing on a cheesy-ass kids' show will do that to you, lol
He actually hated singing but had no choice due to being on the series
Gumby ate too much GUMBO and became a very BIG Tubo! He got fat
