| 4 | Airing in the 1980s, ''Super Sunday'' (aka ''[[MarketBasedTitle Super Saturday]]'') was an half-hour block of cartoon shorts (akin to a WheelProgram) produced by Creator/SunbowEntertainment and [[Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises Marvel Productions]] as advertisement for four different Creator/{{Hasbro}} brands. It aired in syndication on assorted television stations from October 1985 to October of 1986. |

| 6 | The shorts featured in this block were as follows: |
| 7 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'': The adventures of Jerrica Benton, a case worker at a group home for troubled teens, who adopts her alter ego ("Jem") with the help of a special holographic computer bequeathed to her by her late father. The initial series – which aired as part of Super Sunday – centered on Jerrica learning about her alter ego, forming a band called the Holograms, and her first encounter with the rival band, The Misfits, and their corrupt manager, Eric Raymond, who want to put the Holograms out of business. |
| 8 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotix}}'': A ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' clone where two factions – the peaceful Protectons and warmongering Terrakors – battle on the alien world of Skalorr. Additional drama develops as a group of humans get caught in the battle. Based on the Milton Bradley/Hasbro line of Erector/K'nex motorized robot toys. |
| 9 | * ''WesternAnimation/BigfootAndTheMuscleMachines'': A young woman acquires a map leading to the Fountain of Youth, which a ruthless elderly billionaire is also trying to find. Yank Justice and his friends, who run a traveling monster truck show, get involved. Based on real monster trucks and a line of motorized equivalent toys from Hasbro (albeit from their Playskool subsidiary, oddly enough). |
| 10 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'': Named for the villains, the Inhumanoids are a group of mutated, subterranean beings who attempt to take over Earth and enslave the human population. The scientist-hero group, Earth Corps, is entrusted to stop the Inhumanoids and call upon a group of beings, the Mutores, to aid them. |
