For those who weren’t around in the 80s, like myself, Calvin’s dad is actually right.
At this point in time toy tie in programs made up the bulk of Saturday morning cartoon blocks.
G.I. Joe, He-Man/She-Ra, Transformers, etc are examples. What’s more, a lot of these shows were low budget to minimize cost and maximize profit. Not only did they recycle scripts, they recycled whole scenes, some of which (famously He-man’s transformation) would appear in nearly every or actually every episode, unchanged
