==1956-1992==
In 1956, NBC abandoned the children's programming lineup on weekday afternoons, relegating the lineup to [[Saturday morning cartoon|Saturdays]] only with ''Howdy Doody'' as their marquee franchise for the series' remaining four years.
From the mid-1960s until 1992, the bulk of NBC's children's programming were derived from theatrical shorts like ''[[The Pink Panther Show]]'' and ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', reruns of popular television series like ''[[The Flintstones]]'' and ''[[The Jetsons]]'', foreign acquisitions like ''[[Astro Boy]]'' and ''[[Kimba the White Lion]]'', original animated series (most notably ''[[The Smurfs (1981 TV series)|The Smurfs]]'' and ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks]]'' in the 1980s), cartoon adaptations of [[The Gary Coleman Show|Gary Coleman]], [[Mister T (TV series)|Mr. T]], ''[[It's Punky Brewster|Punky Brewster]]'', ''[[ALF (TV series)|ALF]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'', and original live-action series including ''[[The Banana Splits]]'', ''[[The Bugaloos]]'', and ''[[H.R. Pufnstuf]]''.
