Super Sunday (also called Super Saturday) was a 1980s American animated television series produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions. It was distributed by Claster Television. [1]
Super Sunday was a half-hour block with four six-minute matinée segments of Jem, Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines, Robotix, and Inhumanoids. [2] It aired on various television stations in syndication on Sunday mornings from October 6, 1985 to October 1986. In markets that the series aired on Saturday, the series was retitled Super Saturday. All four segments were based on Hasbro toy lines.
Title | Original release | Episodes |
---|---|---|
Jem | October 6, 1985 – January 12, 1986 | 15 5 (half-hour version) |
Robotix | October 6, 1985 – January 12, 1986 | 15 |
Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines | October 6 – December 1, 1985 | 9 |
Inhumanoids | June 29 – October 5, 1986 | 15 5 (half-hour version) |
The block began as Super Week, a five-day tryout that featured the first five chapters of Robotix while beginning Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines.
The series were cycled through, and only two or three of the four different segments appeared in a given episode.
Despite all four shorts being collected into stand-alone made-for-TV movies (as was done with previous Sunbow/Marvel collaborations G.I. Joe and The Transformers), only Inhumanoids and Jem went on to be expanded into independent full-length shows.
