"Schoolhouse Rock" was an interstitial programming series of about three minutes an episode that ran from 1973-1984 in the original series.

In 1972, "The Osmonds" debuted on Saturday mornings as part of the ABC new fall lineup. The show followed the adventures of the pop music group, The Osmond Brothers.

Answer: Fangface

"Fangface" premiered on ABC in September 1978, as a part of that network's new Saturday morning lineup and ran for three years in various formats. The cartoon was pretty much like the other mystery shows featuring teens solving crimes of its day, like "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" and "Jabberjaw". "Fangface" followed the adventures of teens Puggsy, Kim, Biff, and Sherman as they confronted monsters and other villains each week. Fangface was actually a teenager named Sherman, who would transform in wolf form during a full moon or at the sight of one in a photograph. In later versions of the show, the team was joined by Fangpuss, the baby cousin of Sherman.
