Cheap ways to deliver commercials to kids on Saturday morning.
There was a tv show called Hot Wheels in the late 1960's early 1970's which revolved around the toy cars of the same name. The show didn't much in the way of writing.
Thinking? Probably something like "Hey, you know what would be cool? What if we took, like a shark, from like, Jaws and put him in a rock band."
"Yeah, from the future, dude."
"Awesome. Hey, pass that bong back here, I need another hit."
In the late 1960's and 70's they tired mandating educational tv show, The problem was, the kids just wouldn't watch them.
I remember watching the hell out of Sesame Street and also The Electric Company. I even remember this dude:
I had a bootleg DVD that had some of them Clutch Cargo episodes on it. Googling, they used a process they called "Syncro-Vox". Claiming they could do for $18,000 what cost the Disney studio $250,000. Sweet fancy Porky Pig, that process was creepy! If I never see it again, it'll be none too soon. Here, enjoy some. If you are viewing this late at night, I hope your loved ones aren't awakened by you're horrible shrieks of terror. Oooga looga!!!
You might find the series Space Angel to be of interest . It used the same process. It's an excellent tv series.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force. A bizarre show with bizarre and unlikable characters.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
I have the fondest memories with this one! My daughter had a crush on Master Shake for quite a few years ... a real crush, so much so that her other grandmother, sent her a card in the mail pretending to be Master Shake. She was too young to be even watching this show, she was around 8, but what had happened was, a friend of her brothers' had loaned them a dvd set, and she (she has autism) and she was obsessed with food and pictures of food, and movies with food, etc. at the time ..
When she began watching the show, I thought it was adorable, floating fries, talking milkshake and the rolly meatball, I thought, how cute! She had confiscated discs and taken them to her room, she would watch them over and over , and laugh and laugh she loved them so much especially the milkshake, then I heard one of them cursing and started watching it with her and omg, I couldn't believe it.
She was drawing pictures of him at school, writing about Master Shake at therapy, she was even wearing a pink straw in a hairband on her head. Even after I retrieved the dvds, she would google him and watch youtube videos every chance she got. It took a while to make her understand also that he wasn't 'real' especially after her grandmother, sent her the card in the mail. (She did that because my daughter had sneakily, sneaked out to put handwritten letters to Mastershake and put them in the mailbox addressed to simply 'Mastershake') .
Fast forward to now, shes 16, and she understands that Master Shake is not 'real' and has friended his 'voice actor' Dana Snyder on Twitter and Facebook and is also Administrator for an Aqua Teen social group that she joined and they were so fond of her that they asked her to be one. The final episode of that show was crushing for her but at least by then she knew he wasn't real. So that's my Aqua Teen story.
Looks like that might be the same bunch responsible for Squidbillies:
