I used to watch that, along with Shazam/Captain Marvel, and The Mighty Isis. Also the Kroft Super Show. The Kroft puppet shows were pretty subversive. HR Puff'n Stuff basically had Puff the Magic Dragon as a main character, basically a walking marijuana reference. Electra Woman and Dyna Girl were a superhero duo with their own storyline on the Kroft Super Show, IIRC. Basically Batman and Robin in a flying car, where the men were support characters and the action duo was female.
Where I grew up, binge watching all of the Saturday Morning cartoons and shows in a row (not all episodes in a show, but all shows with an episode that day) was viewed as something kinda bad. People talked about it as if it was going to be a part of the destruction of the culture. I always felt guilty, and mom would kick us out of the house after lunch. Then we'd spend the whole day outside unless it was raining.
Now, watching a whole bunch of television in a multi-hour block is just kind of a normal thing, so long as you don't overdo it.
The parents of the day might not have been wrong about the destruction of the culture part, though.
