- Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker as Balki and Larry host ABC's sneak peek at the 1989-90 season of Saturday morning shows in this special. These are just the parts with Balki and Larry. The show was written and directed by the regular PS crew.
Friday and Saturdays were my favorite days in the week when I was a kid. No school, TGIF, and Cartoons.
Same here!.
That about sums it up for me too.
When Saturday mornings MEANT something! Oh, how I long for the good ol' days...
I used to love when they'd do this. Shame they don't do it any more.
Within 2 seconds I saw something I had completely forgotten about, the Closed Caption icon. Wow!
On the upper right hand corner of the tv screen!.
*sigh* I miss the Saturday morning preview specials just as much as the Saturday morning cartoons themselves. I loved getting to find out what sorts of new awesomeness I'd get to wake up for.
I love when they're laying on the couch in opposite directions and then they get the idea to eat cereal like you would on a Saturday morning. :) Love it.
This brings back sooooooo many good memories!
Cute💙 never seen this before...
I love the two of them!!💙
Whoever posted this is God. Thank you so much, its the closest experience to having a time machine. *sniffs* Miss Saturday mornings so much.
Yes me too I was of course 10 in 89 but still loved the cartoons on ***Saturday!!!***
NBC had done saturday morning specials so ABC was giving it a try with this special
i love these old tgif..and u can so tell this is an original by noticing no damn station label in the lower right corner...those were the days!!!!
It sure was.
I loved Saturday morning preview specials! This video puts a huge smile on my face :)
I actually remember this when it originally aired, thanks!
I didn't know Larry and Balki's favorite show was Perfect Strangers.
Yeah there were so many good cartoons that we grew up on(kids of the 80s) i loved pup named scooby doo and flintstone kids
I definitely remember those.along with the real ghostbusters and Looney tunes classics at the end of morning.
Sigh, the good old days.
wow just wow
During the final three years of NBC's orignal Saturday morning block, all of its programming outside of Saved by the Bell suffered constant Executive Meddling. First, NBC canceled The Smurfs, at one time considered NBC's staple animated program, and gave it the time travel treatment for a year while struggling to headline newer shows, like Captain N: The Game Master and the Animated Adaptation of The Karate Kid, the latter of which was promptly axed due to low ratings. Both shows had to rely on word-of-mouth as NBC chose to spend their resources headlining Saved by the Bell. Then, a year later, Kissyfur was axed and its time slot replaced by NBA Inside Stuff, a recap program of NBA basketball games. At the same time, NBC exhausted more advertising revenue toward Saved by the Bell, causing drastic budget cuts for cartoons airing on the block. Potential viewers would either move to other blocks, such as newcomer Fox Kids, or watch Nickelodeon instead. Then, in the block's final year, Captain N was shortened from an hour to a half-hour, and both Alvin and the Chipmunks and the obscure Gravedale High were canceled in favor of new shows like ProStars and Yo Yogi!, the latter of which was critically panned and proved to be the final straw. As a result of the persistent ratings failures and continued pressure within the children's television market, NBC ordered all Saturday morning programs canceled, save for only Saved by the Bell since it was the most successful show of the block. They continued airing reruns of the shows until August 1st, 1992, when a teen-oriented live-action block named TNBC and a Saturday morning edition of Today took its place. Saved by the Bell and NBA Inside Stuff were the only programs to survive the transition. NBC's decision to drop their Saturday Morning Cartoon block is widely viewed as the beginning of the end for the format.
You're right. The mandate slowly took hold. You could tell with CBS's shows after 1997 that things were heading in a bad direction. Look at how mangled the WEIRD AL SHOW was when CBS hit them with tons upon of tons of *rules* that made absolutely no sense, especially given how much adult content Pee-Wee's Playhouse got away with a decade earlier.
They may have to drop the mandates if people flee broadcast networks on Saturday mornings. Besides, there's plenty of content through streaming.
@@jnadle1 Saturday mornings died 20 years ago. Now it's infomercials and news shows.
Balki would've made an amazing Ghostbuster.
I can only imagine the things he'd say when confronted by a ghost. You know, all of the American phrases that he'd turn into, "Balki-isms." :D
That was sort of out of character for Larry to back down and pout after balki slapped his wrist. Larry was usually retaliated whenever balki tried to stand up to him. But maybe this was done because it was a special for kids

any chance you could upload the whole thing, not just the Larry and Balki segments?
What would make it better if there is a full preview special in 1989?
Wow! Balki got a little violent there. Don't mess with Myposian sheepherders. They mean business! :D
You know, I'm 37-years-old. I remember the days when Saturday morning cartoons still existed. Then the government had to come in and take those away because they wanted something, "educational," to air on Saturdays.
I'm sorry. But it's a sad day when parents rely on TV shows to educate their children. Shouldn't *they* do that?
Good Lord it's so awkward without the audience.
and what educational shows did they add? Snooki and Teen Mom?
"Whoever posted this is God." Or I guess I should say boochibabe is God. :)
Vintage Channel 6 WBRC ABC
larry sounds like dante from clerks
@FutureNewsAnchor I don't think that went into effect immediately. Fox Kids still aired its weekday and saturday morning cartoons even though they were declining and ABC had One saturday morning which ran until the early '00s. I think NBC was effected and CBS was effected but it definitely wasn't until much later. Not saying you're wrong but I think it took time for all the networks to drop it at once. NOWadays it's like you said where it's all educational
***** THREE hours of e/i programming. And back then, ANYTHING qualified for e/i. Even Saved by the Bell. But it ALL has to be Discovery Channel style programming now.
Honestly, I would have enjoyed the Winnie the Pooh segment!
So that's how we solve global inflation, by making sure there's a needle on the pump. Somebody call Bernanke!
haha. cute.
Don't be reedeecyoolose.
