US Revived TV series and specials at the 1960s

Entire Television premiered in 1959 to promote General Mills products with first animation characters in Cocoa Puffs advertisements (1960-1969) and the General Mills-sponsored TV series King Leonardo and His Short Subjects (1960-1963, repackaged reveals before 1969), Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales (1963-1966, repackaged shows before 1972), The Underdog Show (1964-1967, repackaged reveals until 1973) and The Beagles (1966-1967). Cartoon for all series has been created at Gamma Studios in Mexico. Total Television ceased producing after 1969, when General Mills no longer wished to host them.
Lots of the American animated TV series in the 1960s to 1980s were based on characters and formats which had already proven popular in different websites. UPA created The Dick Tracy Show (1961-1962), depending on the comic books. Filmation, lively from 1962 to 1989, made few initial characters, but a lot of adaptations of DC Comics, live-action TV series (like Lassie's Rescue Rangers (1973-1975) and Star Trek: The Animated Series), some live-action attributes (like Journey to the middle of the Earth (1967-1969), and even more. Grantray-Lawrence Animation has been the first studio to accommodate Marvel Comics superheroes in 1966. Format Films' The Alvin Show (1961-1962) was a spin-off of a 1958 novelty tune and the following comic books with redesigned variations of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Other show included unlicensed appropriations. For example, Hanna-Barbera's The Flintstones (1960-1966) was obviously motivated by sitcom The Honeymooners and founder Jackie Gleason considered suing Hanna-Barbera, but he did not need to be called"the man who pulled Fred Flintstone off the atmosphere". [86]
The Flintstones was the first prime-time animated series and became hugely popular, it stayed the longest-running network animated tv show before that record has been broken three years afterwards. (1969-1970, afterwards followed by additional Scooby-Doo series).
From about 1968, once the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy and other violent acts made the people less at ease with violence in entertainment, networks hired censors to be able to prohibit anything deemed too violent or suggestive from children's programming. [87]
Aside from regular TV series, there were also some notable animated tv (vacation ) specials, beginning with UPA's Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962), followed a couple of decades after by other classic examples like the series of Bill Meléndez' Peanuts specials (1965-2011, according to Charles M. Schulz's comic strip), and Chuck Jones's How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
