Bumpers

== Space Ghost and Dino Boy ==
* A spaceship chases Jan, Jace, and Blip. Space Ghost destroys the ship, and the four heroes fly through space.

== Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles ==
* The Impossibles play a gig in their civilian guises, slowly fade into the background, and re-emerge in their superhero forms.
* Frankenstein Jr. and Buzz Conroy see a tornado. Frankie puts Buzz on a church steeple, and punches the tornado, reducing it, and sending it in the opposite direction.
* The Impossibles are riding along in their Impossicar, and see Frankenstein Jr. and Buzz. They wave to each other, but then see that the bridge is out. Frankie becomes a bridge for the Impossibles, and they cross safely. Buzz climbs up, and they wave each other good-bye.
== The Herculoids ==
* Gloop takes the form of a TV set, and Gleep turns himself into the words "Stay Tuned For Part Two."

* A sub captain sets his sights on Birdman's lair. Birdman flies out, and destroys the sub.
* A robot damages a bridge. Birdman destroys it, and then repairs the bridge.
* A prehistoric reptile breaks out of a mountain. Birdman attacks it with a solar blast, but it continues its rampage. The Galaxy Trio arrives to lend a hand. Gravity Girl lifts it off the ground, Meteor Man slams it back into the mountain, and Vapor Man seals it in with freeze vapor so that it can never escape again.
== Young Samson and Goliath ==
* Samson and Goliath are joyriding on their motorcycle. They leap across a wide chasm, and Samson uses his Samson power, even thought there are no villains in sight. However, there are clips from several episodes, while the announcer asks viewers to stay tuned for more adventures.
* A clip from "The Secret of Evil Island" is shown, and the announcer says, "Stay tuned. There's more coming up with Young Samson and Goliath."

== The All-New Popeye Hour ==
* Most of the Popeye bumpers of the late 1970s and early 1980s concern health and safety. They usually feature Popeye and his nephews.
* In the bumpers before and after a commercial break, Popeye and Bluto are in a competition, such as tennis or mountain climbing. Popeye usually gets the better of Bluto.
== The Pac-Man/Little Rascals/Richie Rich Show ==
=== Earliest episodes ===
* The bumper after the first Little Rascals segment included a brief clip from "Beauty Queen for a Day" (where Dolly Van Dumpling was looking in a mirror which the boys observed through binoculars, and then Spanky instantly fell in love while dropping to the floor.
* The bumper after the Richie Rich Treasure Chest segment showed footage from "Yachtsa' Luck" (the scene where two of the Rascals were posing as an adult and the long coat got caught in a hook)
* The bumper after the 30-second Rascals skit featured footage from the Richie Rich Zillion Dollar Adventures segment "The Collector" (where Richie is being shrunk in action).
Darla Hood was excluded from these bumpers.
=== Episode 5 onward (except for episode 7) ===
* The bumper after the first Rascals segment featured the ghost monsters chasing Pac-Man, then Richie has Dollar the Dog jump through a golden diamond-studded hoop as they observe Pac-Man being chased, and then the Rascals witness the chase and believed they saw ghosts (with a thought balloon saying "Ghosts?", then they panic and run off-screen. This is the only bumper in which Darla Hood appeared.
* The bumper used after the Richie Rich Treasure Chest segment involved a go-kart race on a city street in which the contestants are Spanky, Richie and Baby-Pac. As the race is underway, Alfalfa and Ms. Pac-Man observed on the street, and at the finish line, Cadbury waves the flag alongside Gloria Glad and Freckles Friendly (the latter of whom was not a recurring character that season). Baby-Pac won the race, as announced on a newspaper headline.
* After the 30-second Rascals skit, Richie and Dollar are riding in a limousine driven by Cadbury (the reasons for excluding Bascomb are unknown), but the ghost monsters are clinging to the rear-end bumper with Pac-Man running after them ready to chomp them.
== The Monchhichis/Little Rascals/Richie Rich Show ==
* From episode 1 through 11, the bumpers after the Rascals segment alternated every week. Episode 1's bumper would be used in Episodes 3, 5, etc., while episode 2's bumper would also be used in episode 4, 6, etc. However, episode 12's bumper was the same as in episode 11, and episode 13's bumper was the same as episode 10.
** The bumper used on episode 1 had Richie and Dollar roller-skating along the Rich estate, wearing a helmet and knee pads, as they travel past a tree in which the Monchhichis are lurking.
** The bumper used on episode 2 had the Monchhichis already in a tree, until a kite depicting a banknote appears, which is flown by Richie with Dollar by his side.
