Super Sunday (also called Super Saturday) was a 1980s American animated television series produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions. It was distributed by Claster Television. Super Sunday was a half-hour block with four six-minute matinée segments of Jem, Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines, Robotix, and Inhumanoids. It aired on various television stations in syndication on Sunday mornings from October 6, 1985 to October 1986. In markets that the series aired on Saturday, the series was retitled Super Saturday. All four segments were based on Hasbro toy lines.

List

For the first four weeks of Robotix, two consecutive episodes were broadcast as a bridge until Jem began airing. It is believed that the later Inhumanoids also ran two consecutive episodes in some weeks before the stand-alone show began.

Title	Original release	Episodes
Robotix	October 6 – December 15, 1985	15 5 (half-hour version)
Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines	October 6 – December 1, 1985	9
Jem	November 3, 1985 – February 9, 1986 April 21 – April 25, 1986 (half-hour version)	15 5 (half-hour version)
Inhumanoids	June 29 – September 14, 1986 September 15 – 19, 1986 (half-hour version)	15 5 (half-hour version)

History

The block began as Super Week, a five-day tryout that featured the first five chapters of Robotix while beginning Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines. The series were cycled through, and only two or three of the four different segments appeared in a given episode. Despite all four shorts being collected into stand-alone made-for-TV movies (as was done with previous Sunbow/Marvel collaborations G.I. Joe and The Transformers), only Inhumanoids and Jem went on to be expanded into independent full-length shows.
