@@dirkwebb5772 Sundays 7:00 p.m. Eastern, 6:00 p.m. Central. If you lived in Chicago you always watched Family Classics hosted by Frazier Thomas and then the Wonderful World of Disney.
I got a better idea, if you like to spend time walking around with your ass on your shoulders,then keep your stupid ass remarks to yourself,then I won't see it.
Somehow, this show was aired here in Spain (dubbed in Spanish, obviously, maybe it was Latin-american Spanish but I'm not sure) and I loved it as a kid (but can't remember if it was a full fledged show or just a bunch of 40 minutes short films). I remember watching more than one, but as I've said, my memories of this show are blurry

I missed this back in '82. I've would've been 21 anyway, so I can see why, this one slipped by me. But, even at 61, I'm STILL enjoying it, and I don't have to pretend, that I'm a kid again, since this was so well done. Good old animation, without 'crappo' computer CGI. A good message for kids, also 😁👍!!!
Complete with the ABC Weekend Special intro! I don't understand why stuff like this can only be found on You Tube. It'd make better Halloween programming than badly edited horror movie marathons.
Vinnie Rattolle I agree with you on that subject it is boring to watch the same program's Everytime shows like these are enjoyable and relaxing and fun to watch 😂😂😀😁
This came up randomly on my feed today. First time I've seen it in probably forty years or so. The intro of this show alone brings back memories of laying in front of the TV on childhood Saturday mornings back in the early '80s. Thanks for posting this. It has great picture and sound quality, even when I watch it on my big screen TV. It looks better than it ever could then.
Excellent! Another good witch I like! I find Miss Switch very beautiful. I didn't know Janet Waldo did the voice of her. That's amazing. I know she did the voice of Judy Jetson and Penelope Pitstop. Rest in peace, Miss Janet Waldo. (1920 - 2016)
I always like movies and cartoons with witches as a child. I was just so fascinated by them, was a witch more than once for Halloween. Witches make cartoons and movies more entertaining. 👍
As many have said, it was released during an age where there were few channels, and stuff like this only played once a year (unlike cable now that would replay it all October). Given that, I probably watched it at most 4 times, but it left an indelible mark. Every so often the Miss Switch music from the beginning would pop into my head for no reason, and for the longest time I couldn’t even remember what it came from! Then I remembered this program and I could remember many of the scenes as if it were yesterday. Many thanks to the poster for putting this up! Brings back great memories.

Randomly saw this on recommendations whilst trying to find something to help me sleep. I ended up liking it. It is something that anyine can watch. Not those cartoons where even young children would turn their nose up at. It is also narrated in the likes of Sherlock Holmes/Locecraft books where a friend of the main character is narrating the stories whilst sharing their experience of the events. They never seem to do it with the Sherlock films/series through.
Lol 😂 I Remember seeing this One Saturday Morning Years ago back in the 1970's I think I was in 5th or 6th Grade and here I am today 57yrs Old Running Across this.
@@Zeldafan1ify Well there was a Cartoon series about Tabetha and Adam the Children from the Show Bewitched that Aired for a While back then maybe not this One.
Before the likes of "HARRY POTTER",there was "Miss Switch",in the first of several ABC cartoon specials produced by Ruby-Spears,who eventually became the sister studio to Hanna-Barbera Productions,which was confusing. Joe Ruby & Ken Spears were quite a duo,who did most of their work at Hanna-Barbera,as it is speculated that they had created and pitched the idea of "SCOOBY-DOO" to Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera-may they truly rest in peace,,and the rest was a footnote in history. Ruby-Spears officially formed their studio in late 1977,producing mostly for ABC Weekend Specials,and landing their first cartoon series "FANGFACE" for ABC in Fall 1978,eventually leading to "PLASTIC MAN" also for ABC in Fall 1979. Ruby-Spears was originally a division of Filmways,but that studio closed down,and by 1981 Ruby-Spears became a corporate division of Taft Broadcasting,who owned and operated Hanna-Barbera shortly before the Ted Turner takeover in 1991,that eventually landed HB and RS 's entire cartoon library to Warner Bros.Entertainment,which is now THE largest library of animation ever! the voice of "Miss Switch" was played by Janet Waldo,who recently passed away. Ruby-Spears Enterprises eventually slipped into non-entity,but this studio,like Hanna-Barbera,did impressive animation. they were responsible for "THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN",which debuted on ABC in Fall 1980,and later rerunned by NBC in 1983. they also did an animated "RAMBO" in 1985,and even did a limited "CHUCK NORRIS" cartoon series.most of their animation was made overseas,but it was quality animation that many of the Hanna-Barbera people also worked with,which made this very confusing,but ultimately both the studios still cranked-out good animated shows! RS also did "CENTURIANS" in 198n animated "SUPERMAN" series for CBS in Fall 1988,and their last known cartoon series,"MEGA MEN" and "COWBOYS OF MOO MESA".but still,many of Ruby-Spears cartoons look like Hanna-Barbera material,which was hard to tell them apart,since they were both sister studios!
I couldn't help but notice that Rupert has a pretty close physical resemblance to "Velma" from the old Scooby Doo shows, including the scientific mindset.
Thank you! This was my favorite Weekend Special! Two legends of cartoon voice-overs--June Foray and Janet Waldo--starred in this production, along with a young Nancy McKeon voicing Amelia! And thank you for putting both parts together!
Anyone else remember how ABC used to split this into 2 episodes? They would show the first part one weekend then never show the second part! I'd go to school on Monday and at least 2 or 3 kids would be pissed as hell. Me included.
"We'll never get another teacher as good as you!" "Probably not." 😂 Wow! This was when we'd recently gotten ABC in town _(Schoolhouse Rocks and Happy Days!)_ along with a new tower that brought over NBC, PBS, and a UHF station from Denver _(monster movies on the weekend!)_ and we weren't limited to just CBS anymore. I remember the comput-o-witch kinda freaked me out, but not how loud that soundtrack was.
Wow!!! I have not seen this ABC network Special since my elementary/grade school years, growing up in Chicago!!! Especially, considering that I just made 51 years old last month!!! I am a new subcriber, and I enjoy the content that you have on your channel!!! Keep bringing more of the old school content, it brings back special memories, especially for the Halloween season!!! Make mine Spectreman!!! Keep up the Great work!!!
Saturna just wanted Switch to adopt the paradigm shift towards more progressive core competencies within the organization's infrastructure. But through her over-reliance on technology, she lost the human element and her dynamic ideation resulted in deleterious micro-management. That and she used poisonous crimson mist on her employees - a corporate practice that went out in the 1630s.
It's so nice seeing media that depicts the good AND bad sides of witchcraft (Even if it's stylized). especially back in the early 80's when witchcraft and occultism still had a negative stigma around it as far as the general populous was concerned. Miss Switch genuinely cares for the children and despite having her own problems, she continues to worry about their well-being. Whereas Saturna is selfish and vindictive, she doesn't care about anyone but herself, not even other witches. it's a clear view of the two diametrically opposed ideas of witches at the time, Wicked and sneaky, or Enlightened and misunderstood.
We were a few years awasy from the "Satanic Panic" in 82' but once it happened, all the cartoons like "Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies" and even shows like "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family" were deemed too dark for kids and relegated to the archives. I'm sure ABC put this and other great shows like it away for good once the crazed religious nuts started screaming about kids being taught witchcraft in school!
I remember watching this movie when I was young . It caught my attention and I enjoyed it . This kid movie was just neat . Over my years , I had forgotten all about this movie. One day , low and behold , I came across this movie on RUclips, I was so excited to see it all over again 😉
I remember seeing this when I was around 10 or 11 years old man is bringing back some good memories they need to do more cartoons like this again for this generation
that intro is so beautiful too bad they don't make intros like this no more i wan't born yet to see this didn't know miss switch is beautiful there something special about these classics
I completely FORGOT about this cartoon! Brings back nice memories of Saturday mornings watching cartoons like this and much more! I'd like to get this on DVD some day.
She took students on a midnight trip to Witch Mountain without signed parental permission slips. The principals in my school district would have joined Saturna in banishing her to Witch Mountain. Movies like this set up teachers like me for so much disappointment. 😇
Yes, when the CBS Childrens' Film Festival faded from Saturday Morning, I ended up watching the ABC Weekend Specials. Miss Switch was one of the shows I watched before reading the actual book. Great memories!
I thought this was from the 80s, I remember this as a kid. Good ole days when cartoons didn't have to be educational in the morning and were just a whole lot of fun!
HOLY shiz I feel so OLD I remember this program when I was little. ;_; I wish they still did stuff like this. Not the parade of crap and recycled memes on tv now for kids.
Oh wow. I remember watching this, though my memory is limited. I saw it as a toddler. I hadn't started school yet so I got the idea that school teachers were witches in disguise. What's even funnier is that at the time I was unaware that my mother was getting her teaching degree. 😂
I grew up in the 80's and 90's. I never saw this show. I grew up mostly watching Transformers, Voltron, GI Joe, Thundercats, He-Man, and The Real Ghostbusters.
90s kid grown up, found this. A cute, classic little movie with still familiar sounding voices. Saturnia is a classic witch voice. I was half expecting the boy to point out that her witches brew is not unlike a recipe, and is likely repeatable, like science. But this is a classical type cartoon and it was more cute than that, and I can appreciate that too. Overall a charming special. These times produced a lot of those kinds of things.
Thank you for uploading this. It has been more than 30 years since I Iast saw this cartoon. Oh how this brings back soo many memories. Thank you, thank you!
*+Chi or Chakra* I'm WAAY younger than you if you've lived for more than 30 years. But as a 22 year old who just saw this for the first time. I'll say this was actually a pretty neat time.
Any kid who grew up with the internet, thousand channel television, and immersive video games has NO idea how rare and special shows like this were.

I first saw this cartoon on RUclips back in 2018 when I was 11 years old.

As an 70s child & 80s teenager I grew up watching abc weekend specials & after school specials I really miss fun Saturday morning programming on tv
Tv was geared towards family, life lessons, teenage situations..... family oriented...
It was absolutely the best day…. We didn’t even go out until it was over…. Saturday was the only day we stayed in for a few hours 😂😂
Yes...and I miss it!!!❤
Wow! This takes me back. I’m 56 now having my bowl of boo berry cereal 🥣👻

One tiny inactive neuron buried deep in my brain heard that theme in the opening, woke up and started to hum along.
I miss animation like this. Hannah- Barbera had some serious competition with Ruby-Spears.
But ruby spears was owned by same company that owned hb
Also with Filmation who also had fierce competition with HB and R-S in the 1970's and '80s.
This should be on the air for Halloween
Won't ever get this era back, folks. Makes me want to shed a tear...

Oh wow. I remember watching this, though my memory is limited. I saw it as a toddler. I hadn't started school yet so I got the idea that school teachers were witches in disguise. What's even funnier is that at the time I was unaware that my mother was getting her teaching degree. 😂
I grew up in the 80's and 90's. I never saw this show. I grew up mostly watching Transformers, Voltron, GI Joe, Thundercats, He-Man, and The Real Ghostbusters.
Likewise; this was a recommendation to me.
90s kid grown up, found this.
A cute, classic little movie with still familiar sounding voices. Saturnia is a classic witch voice.
I was half expecting the boy to point out that her witches brew is not unlike a recipe, and is likely repeatable, like science.
But this is a classical type cartoon and it was more cute than that, and I can appreciate that too.
Overall a charming special. These times produced a lot of those kinds of things.
Saturnia was voiced by the great June Foray!
i think i remember watching on the ABC Weekend Special on saturday mornings
This is some pretty intense stuff to show little kids.
Wish Disney+ had these on their service.
Thank you for uploading this. It has been more than 30 years since I Iast saw this cartoon. Oh how this brings back soo many memories. Thank you, thank you!
*+Chi or Chakra* I'm WAAY younger than you if you've lived for more than 30 years. But as a 22 year old who just saw this for the first time. I'll say this was actually a pretty neat time.
What's crazy is that I remembered the theme song after all these years! Loved this as a kid!
I agree
DA MotoNeko You’re right around my age then. This stuff is from my oldest sister’s period I think.
I remember this cartoon.
Fitting for Halloween. 🎃🎃🎃
