Video Comics (1979)
Why search the comic shops? Just turn on Nickelodeon!
OK, so the usual fare shown on Video Comics was severely limited, but it was actually interesting to read the comics panels on screen while listening to the voice-over actors. At least they didn't try to pseudo-animate the comics panels like the producers of that Marvel Super-Heroes show attempted to do in the mid-60s.
In the early days of Nickelodeon, this was a mainstay along with Pinwheel and You Can't Do That On Television. I'm sure there were a few others, but memory does not recall. The idea of reading comics on TV may seem odd and would be if not for the voice-over of the characters. The voices of Sugar and Spike are memorable. All you comics fans, just admit that you imagine what a character might sound like as you read your comics. And if you ever read any of the comics featured on VC, you can put a voice to the character.
Not exactly groundbreaking, but fun stuff nevertheless.
