Broadcast History
Pac-Man aired on ABC Saturday Morning in the following formats:
- The Pac-Man/Little Rascals/Richie Rich Show (September 25, 1982 – September 3, 1983)
- The Pac-Man/Rubik, the Amazing Cube Hour (September 10, 1983 – September 1, 1984)
During the first airing of the show, the large number of advertisers sponsoring it caused commercial breaks to be double their normal length. Later episodes featured normal commercial break times.
Since the original run, reruns have turned up on the USA Cartoon Express on USA in the 1980s, Cartoon Network in the 1990's and Boomerang in 2005. The Christmas-themed episode currently airs each year as part of the Boomerang Christmas Party, an annual marathon of Christmas cartoons, but otherwise is not included in the channel's rotation. The series is also available for purchase on the Xbox Live Marketplace for 160 Microsoft Points per episode.

Famous quotes containing the words broadcast and/or history:
“Radio news is bearable. This is due to the fact that while the news is being broadcast the disc jockey is not allowed to talk.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
