Archive.org has a few of the Fox Kids Magazines from the 90s up, while I don’t think they have any of the Godzilla the series strips I saw people looking for, there is GOLD in these things.
Ah syndicated television channels! You were my best friend growing up.
Oh and the ones they have up do have Dave Cockrum doing art for mini comics based on the 90s X-Men cartoon, so that’s something you probably need in your lives.
Roseanne and Batman, together at last!
Superboy The Series – 1988
How I fell in love with the syndicated shows of the 80s.
“The Bob Newhart Show” made it’s CBS debut on September 16, 1972. The sitcom ran until April 1, 1978. This 1980 ad touts the series’ syndication package. As of 2014, the show continues to air in syndication on the MeTV Network.
In the series, comedian Bob Newhart plays Dr. Bob Hartley, a Chicago psychologist. Suzanne Pleshette plays his wife, Emily. The sitcom splits its focus between Hartley’s home life and work life.
Newhart also starred in “Newhart,” another highly successful sitcom from 1982 to 1990. At the end of the series’ final episode, it’s revealed that the entire series had been a dream in Dr. Hartley’s mind.

What’s Happening!! aired on ABC from 1976 to 1979. The show premiered as a summer series. With good ratings and reviews, and after the failure of several other shows on the network, What’s Happening!! returned in November 1976 as a weekly series. It remained a regular show until 1979; ratings were modest. What’s Happening!! was loosely based on the motion picture Cooley High, also written by Eric Monte.
The series followed the lives of three working-class African-American teens living in the Watts section of Los Angeles. The show stars Ernest Thomas as Roger “Raj” Thomas, Haywood Nelson as Dwayne Nelson, and Fred Berry as Freddy “Rerun” Stubbs. Co-starring are Danielle Spencer as Roger’s younger sister Dee; Mabel King as Roger and Dee’s mother Mabel; and Shirley Hemphill as Shirley Wilson, a waitress at Rob’s Place, the neighborhood restaurant where the boys are regular patrons.
Repeats of the show’s 65 episodes did reasonably well in syndication. In some markets, the show was perceived to appeal to both children and adults in a similar way to The Brady Bunch and Happy Days. With this in mind, a revival of the show was produced entitled What’s Happening Now!!. It ran from 1985 to 1988 in first-run syndication. (Wikipedia)
