NBC Saturday Morning Cartoon Recap: The Story So Far & Every Ending Explained (2026)

Updated October 21, 2026 · 16 titles · spoilers for everything below

NBC Saturday mornings from the 1970s to the early 1990s mixed Sid and Marty Krofft live action with Hanna-Barbera and Disney cartoons and shows built on celebrities, toys and video games, with The Smurfs as the anchor through the 1980s. In 1992 the network gave up cartoons for TNBC, a live-action teen block led by Saved by the Bell, California Dreams and later Hang Time, and the two eras split the nostalgia between them.

Land of the Lost recap

Land of the Lost (1974) strands a father and his two children in a strange world of dinosaurs and hostile Sleestak after a waterfall plunge on a camping trip. Sid and Marty Krofft produced it for NBC, combining live action with stop-motion dinosaurs. Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan) and his children Will (Wesley Eure) and Holly (Kathy Coleman) make a home in a cave, keep clear of a Tyrannosaurus they call Grumpy and befriend Cha-Ka (Phillip Paley), a young Pakuni; Holly treats a tame young brontosaurus, Dopey, as a pet. The reptilian Sleestak are a constant threat, while Enik (Walker Edmiston), a castaway Altrusian, sometimes helps the family. Their aim throughout is to find a way home. Science-fiction writers including Larry Niven, Theodore Sturgeon, Ben Bova and Norman Spinrad wrote scripts, along with Star Trek writers D.C. Fontana, Walter Koenig and David Gerrold, the uncredited first-season story editor. Milligan left before season 3 in a dispute over pay; in "After Shock" an earthquake opens a pathway that returns Rick to Earth alone and brings in his brother Jack (Ron Harper). The show ran three seasons and 43 episodes, from September 7, 1974, to December 4, 1976.

How Land of the Lost ends

Land of the Lost ends with "Medicine Man", aired December 4, 1976, in which the Marshalls persuade Lone Wolf of the Nez Perce and Captain Diggs of the U.S. Cavalry that they must work together to survive and perhaps get back to 1877. It was not written as a finale, and Will, Holly and Jack are never shown escaping the Land. A remake ran for two seasons from 1991, a 2009 comedy film starred Will Ferrell, and Netflix and Legendary were reported in 2025 to be developing a new version.

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends recap

Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (1981) teams Peter Parker with two college-age heroes who share Aunt May's house and fight crime as the Spider-Friends. Marvel Productions made it for NBC, with Stan Lee credited as creator and Dennis Marks as producer. Peter (Dan Gilvezan) is Spider-Man; Bobby Drake (Frank Welker) is Iceman, borrowed from the X-Men; and Angelica Jones (Kathy Garver) is Firestar, a fire-powered mutant created for the show after licensing problems ruled out the Human Torch. Aunt May (June Foray) is their landlady and host, and Angelica's Lhasa Apso, Ms. Lion, lives with them. The trio take on villains from across the Marvel comics and meet other Marvel heroes along the way. Dick Tufeld narrates the first season; Stan Lee narrates from season 2, and his narration was later added to the first-season episodes. The show ran three seasons and 24 episodes, 13 in 1981, 3 in 1982 and 8 in 1983, and NBC kept repeating it until 1986.

S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Buzz Mason hires the Spider-Friends to stop Lightwave, Iceman's half-sister Aurora Dante, who seems to be a traitor attacking the Guardstar satellite, but Mason turns out to be controlling her mind. It is a standalone adventure with no finale. The trio never reunited in a new series, though Firestar went on to a long life in Marvel's comics, including the New Warriors and the Avengers.

The Smurfs recap

Based on the Belgian comics by Peyo, the show follows the Smurfs, small blue creatures who live in mushroom houses in a hidden village in the forest. Each Smurf is named for his main trait: Brainy, Hefty, Handy, Clumsy, Jokey, Vanity, Grouchy, Greedy and Lazy. They are led by the wise, bearded Papa Smurf, who practises magic. Smurfette, the only female, was created by the evil wizard Gargamel to trap them, but Papa Smurf turns her into a real Smurf. Gargamel and his cat Azrael spend every episode trying to catch Smurfs, for food, for gold or for revenge, and always fail. Some stories take place in the human world with Johan, a young squire, and his friend Peewit. Over the years the village grows: a stork delivers Baby Smurf, Father Time turns four Smurfs into children, the Smurflings, and Grandpa Smurf returns from a long journey. In the ninth and last season NBC changed the format, and a group of Smurfs is lost in time, travelling through history and trying to get home. Hanna-Barbera made it for NBC from 1981 to 1989, for 256 episodes over nine seasons.

How The Smurfs ends

The Smurfs ended without a finale. The last episode, with the segments "The Golden Rhino" and "Hearts 'N' Smurfs", aired on December 2, 1989, during the time-travel season, and NBC cancelled the show in 1990 when it replaced its cartoons with live-action programming. The Smurfs returned in live-action and computer-animated films from 2011, Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017), a 2021 animated series and the film Smurfs (2025).

Shirt Tales recap

Shirt Tales (1982) follows a team of animals in message T-shirts who secretly fight crime from their home in an oak tree in a city park. Hanna-Barbera adapted the characters, which Hallmark Cards created for greeting cards in 1980, for NBC. The team lives in Oak Tree Park in Mid City and keeps its crime fighting hidden from the park custodian, Mr. Dinkel (Herb Vigran). Rick Raccoon (Ronnie Schell) leads at first, with Tyg Tiger (Steve Schatzberg), Pammy Panda (Patricia Parris), Digger Mole (Robert Allen Ogle) and Bogey Orangutan (Fred Travalena), who talks like Humphrey Bogart. Each half hour holds two 11-minute cases. The second season changes the format: Kip Kangaroo (Nancy Cartwright) joins without explanation, leadership moves from Rick to Tyg, and superhero touches arrive, with the team's shirts turning bright red during "Shirt Tale Time" and a vehicle, the STSST (Shirt Tales' SuperSonic Transport), that can turn into a car, jet, boat or submarine. The series ran two seasons and 23 episodes, 13 in 1982 and 10 in 1983, from September 18, 1982, to November 19, 1983.

How Shirt Tales ends

Shirt Tales ends with "Mayhem on the Orient Express", paired with "The Cuckoo Count Caper", aired November 19, 1983, the last of its 23 episodes. Both are standalone capers, and nothing in them closes the series; the gang is still hiding its crime fighting from Mr. Dinkel when the show stops. NBC ended the run after the second season, and the Hallmark characters have not had a new series since.

Ross Bagdasarian Sr. created the characters; Ross Bagdasarian Jr. and Janice Karman created the series for NBC through Bagdasarian Productions, first working with Ruby-Spears. Bagdasarian Jr. voices Alvin, Simon and Dave, and Karman voices Theodore and the Chipettes. Alvin is the mischievous leader, Simon the responsible brain and Theodore the sensitive youngest.

Alvin and the Chipmunks ends with "Funny, We Shrunk the Adults", aired December 1, 1990, a spoof of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in which Simon's invention shrinks Dave and Miss Miller while the kids run riot.

Mister T recap

Mister T (1983) casts the actor Mr. T as the coach of a gymnastics team that solves mysteries while travelling to competitions. Ruby-Spears Enterprises produced it for NBC, and each episode opens with Mr. T in a live-action introduction and closes with him narrating a moral.

The gymnasts are Jeff Harris (Shawn Lieber), a wisecracker with a big ego; Woody Daniels (Phil LaMarr), his friendly rival; Robin O'Neill (Amy Linker), eager to jump into any situation; Kim Nakamura (Siu Ming Carson), who has a photographic memory; and Robin's younger brother Spike (Teddy Field III), who worships Mr. T. Mr. T's bulldog, Bulldozer, comes along too. Each stop puts the team up against crooks, and Mr. T often finishes the job with his strength.

Ward), Daffney Gillfin (Nancy Cartwright), Tooter Shelby (Frank Welker), who speaks by tooting his snorkel, and the bumbling Dimmy Finster (Brian Cummings).
