(CNN) -- Lou Scheimer, a pioneer in Saturday morning television cartoons with hit shows such as 'Superman,' 'Fat Albert' and 'He-Man,' has died at 84, according to his biographer.
Scheimer died Thursday, said writer Andy Mangels, who said he spoke with Scheimer's family.
Scheimer was a founder of Filmation, which began producing Saturday morning staples in the 1960s, including superhero stories and an animated version of 'Star Trek.'
