I loved watching wrestling. I think it came on around 11am nor noon in my area.

The HulkHogan Cartoon!!!!

40 here and same here! Loved getting up at 6 am with a big bowl of fruity pebbles in my lap ( with box and bottle of milk at my side ) watching thunder cats, peewees playhouse, muppet babies, etc.

42 and same. The cartoons back then were great too. Nowadays they ret on older cartoons and make them all look like Steven universe to appease sjws and feminists. I feel bad for kids today, shit cartoons and media. The restriction of Saturday morning also made it an event.

41 and same

I so agree

We still have morning (I said “morning,” not just Saturday mornings and we have them in afternoons on weekdays) cartoons through our non commercial affiliate but I still get annoyed when my mom makes me go back to sleep at 6am and I can’t watch reruns of Fetch! and Cyberchase

Waking up before your parents did, pour your own cereal, program the VCR for your other favorite show. Plop down before your siblings woke up to catch your shows.

I remember on Friday nights before a new season of cartoons would air they always had a season preview. Cartoons back then were huge for networks. It was such a great time waking up early to watch so many great cartoons.

They will never experience getting up early, turning the TV on to warm it up , watching the test pattern on the screen until the national anthem played at the start of the broadcast day.

Ignorant comment above mine.....smh..... anyway I agree those two shows signified time to get Saturday chores done lol...I had the bathroom and the kitchen ( cleanest rooms in my house today)... and no you couldn't go out/ to the movies until chores were done

Dont if ur dad was,a wrestling fan or not but after fat Albert at 1230 went off it was time for all star wrestling u guys from philly remember that 100 pm on 29 and championship wrestling at 5 on 17 then hew haw then wild wild west gotta,stop gonna reveal my age lol oh the good ole days

When American Bandstand or Soul Train cam on I knew it was time for lunch

Dude, you are speaking the truth.. That's how it was. American Bandstand came on, and that ended seven straight hours of cartoons

James Miller time to start cleaning the house so true...we had the good life.

yup, same. It reminds me of this guy I worked with who told me about how his Dad said to him after picking him up from summer school on account of skipping out so many days during the normal school year, "Y'know, for a guy who hates being in school, why do you spend your summer's here ?"

My mom would say that too. It struck me as an extremely stupid qiestion. If you have to ask that question than you won't understand the answer...sorry mom

I doubt she was actually unaware of the answer. She was just asking you the question to possibly highlight to you that your priorities might have been less than ideal to her.

Never got sick on Saturday morning.

Laron Henderson heck yeah. Ugh! I would cry and go through the changes if I missed a show.

One thing remains the same, put you're child in front of something with no supervision. Then blame the video / media providers / advertisers for the bad parenting leading to censorship and miles of endless rules.

@@CoalCoalJames however there needs to be more barriers to porn. I finally put that shit down a few years ago, but since 10 years old I watched hardcore porn, now I am shocked at the number of women that want to be choked, slapped, tied up and abused in the bedroom... But I know why, our fetishes are being determines by hardcore porn. It's pretty twisted.

2020's parents being 80's kids

@@Corbiel sad that women are being pushed to accept domestic violence as sexua independence.

@@randomvim not pushed, indoctrinated by porn. I've noticed a huge difference in the fetishes of women who are 30, compared to the women who are 20. At some point between these age groups porn became accessible enough that porn is viewed before health class, and of course healthy sexuality is too taboo for schools they are busy accepting all genders and sex orientations. We have created a very toxic system where If I have feelings for a woman, I struggle to perform the sexual acts that she asks of me, and instead now I just have friends with benefits because I can only be a sadist to someone I do not respect... At the same time, when a woman accusing a man of rape, that man's aggressive sexuality is defended by other women whom find themselves enjoying his behaviour. I see it happen at least twice to men I knew were pieces of shit, but women would tell me how much they loved the way he would dominate them... It is fucked. I too have perverse fetishes that are a result of porn, but unfortunately they are less mainstream than the BDSM scene.

Best luck with your cancer treatment!!! I don’t know you but I’m pulling for yuh!!!!!! Always better times ahead.

Buffalo vs Dragons 🐺To all: please come to the real version of Jesus Christ before it's too late. I know for a fact Jesus, heaven and hell are real. Jesus is the only way to be saved. Jesus loves you all.😇✝

God Bless you and your family during this fight against this horrible disease.

"Overture. Cut the lights. This is it, we'll hit the heights. And oh, what heights we'll hit. On with the show--this is it!" As the characters line-danced out, we'd name them in order.

In the 90s it was The bugs Bunny and Tweety show! Very similar by the looks of it.

its just time for you to find inner peace and healing! Cartoons are not the answer to your situation. But the good thing is you have good memories of the comfort you got from cartoons. Appreciate the memories of saturday mornings...dont try to re-live it.

This world is indeed broken. Broken by sin, which is rebellion against our Creator. Saturday morning cartoons were wonderful. But true peace can only be found in reconciliation with God, through his son Jesus. Read the bible my friend, the answers are there.

Please check out tabletop role-playing games and get together with friends, or make new ones at the rpg store. Go have adventures and escape for 4 hours at a time

41 and I can relate! I hope and pray you can find some peace through therapy, faith, support groups… whatever helps. You got this :)

5 hours of summer, once a week

What do you know about Marshall Brave star, Silver Hawks, Defenders of the earth, Mask, Thundercats, Jem and the Rockers, Punky Brewster, the never ending story, Silver bullet... Lol. I know those are 2 movies at the end but I had to, it was the 80s. Atl.com

E

@@syminite1 I love all them except Jem and punky

Neither G.I. Joe or Transformers were Saturday morning cartoons.

@@jnnx I still remember one sunday morning when I thought transformers was supposed to come on and the strangest GI Joe intro came on and I discovered they made a full length cartoon movie and that was an awesome surprise.

7 am? Slacker. 6 am to catch the local station airing things like Little rascals and TERRAHAWKS.

Yep, you just listed two of my favorite cartoons growing up. Dungeons and Dragons and Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends were a couple of the best cartoons ever. I’m also in my 40s and still remember many of the episodes and the music! It is funny how I could never get up on time during the week for school, but I was always awake bright and early with my bowl of cereal Saturday morning!

Absolutely were some of the best shows.

Some of my favorite were Ghostbusters, Muppet Babies and Alvin and the Chipmunks

Luis Cales yea we did cereal and pop tarts!!! Way cool!!

Where do you work dude ? / What show do you work on ?

@@mickeypye2593 I guess he died

Back to the future,where's Waldo,heatcliff, Garfield and friends,eek the cat,tale spin,duck tales..?

CWAIGN82 yes! All of that.. too many to list!

Alexi Barona lol, you were 2 in 89 but you say 91 to 93 was like the 80’s, you honestly can’t remember anything about the 80’s I would say 90 wasn’t much different as things don’t change overnight, but from 92 on the feel of the 80’s was all but gone. You really grew up in the 90’s when cartoons were coming to an end. I started driving and chasing girls at the start of the 90’s so I’ll admit cartoons weren’t really a priority anymore for me, I just don’t remember Saturday morning cartoons after the first couple of years of the 90’s, but from 92 on you knew the 80’s were over, I feel the 90’s is when the world really started changing for the worst I’m not trying to be a jerk, but if you were 10 in 1990 ( 5 years old to around 10/12 years old is growing up to me) you’d be 39 today or going to be 39 before the years over. Really if your under 34/35 you can’t really remember the 80’s and truly understand Saturday morning cartoons nostalgia If you were born after 83/84 hard to say one grew up in the 80’s, sure you were born then but as far as the culture of the time having a impact on you is from age 5 to 10, But that’s my opinion I hear people all the time say they grew up in the 80’s and I ask when they were born because I know there too young and they say 85 up I just laugh. I was born in the mid 70’s I have never said I grew up in the 70’s as I turned 5 in 1980 and can’t remember anything about the culture of the 70’s, I grew up in the 80’s.

You're lucky. I was born in 1983, so I saw the death of SATAM cartoons. 😢

Yup I was born in 1976 too. I also looked forward to the Saturday morning cartoons. When cartoons were worth watching

And 2000s

I loved those!

TGIF

That was the signal for Saturday Morning Cartoons.

Great story. Thanks for sharing!

@@SecretGalaxyTV Hi, Do you have any of the 2 CBS Storybreak Episodes: Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the Camel with the Wrinkled Knees, and What Happened in Hamelin? Please, let me know!

@arbereshe Haven't you ever been so stressed out over multiple topics that you just go "I need something mindless to take my mind off of all this"? It's the same way with Kids' TV. Their stressors may seem small when compared to those of adults, but keep in mind that they're the most stressful things kids can relate to via their egos. Now, when I say "ego," I don't mean it in terms of selfishness or vanity; I mean it in the proper Freudian sense - the representation of the self that balances the Id and the SuperEgo. As Decartes said: "I think, therefore I am." Many occultists use the phrase "As Above, So Below." Our world is to us how our mind perceives it. When we don't have the experience with which to reference a situation, our mind relates it to what we know. Therefore, what seems like "nothing" to an adult could possibly be either metaphorically or literally "the world" to a juvenile. To be quite honest, adults have more outlets by which to relieve stress, as more is legal to adults than children, but children need stress relief as well. That's why I'm in favor of Old school stule Kids' TV: It gives them the knowledge that no matter what life throws at them, they have a release.

Good entertainment can educate as well as entertain. The 90's was full of sit com style shows where a cast of characters had to deal with a moral grey area and figure out what to do. Some of them like Highlander even included sword fighting. Educations only boring if you make it boring.

It was nice I remember with after school cartoons too. It was a nice break as you could watch maybe an hour or so of cartoons before the news came on or dinner was ready.

"Ego" is how you say "me" or "I" in Greek.

@@graveofmonsters4076 What makes a lot of educational kids shows "boring" is that the writers, producers, directors, et cetera, are so out of touch that they think that if they throw in some "cool" slang every third word that what they're presenting automatically becomes cool itself, when, in fact, it winds up sounding more like the dialogue from Party at Kitty & Stud's. Educational shows that actually relate to kids (Sesame Street, original Electric Company, Magic School Bus, the like) are few & far between. Bear in the Big Blue House is another that gathered fans, particularly in the Autistic community. You have to really know the audience you're trying to teach in order to get the messages across. Few people in the television industry actually do, and therein doth lie the problem. But yeah, I agree with you: learning CAN be fun. But, as previously stated, sometimes, all you really want is some mindless entertainment to kick back & relax to, and ｔｈａｔ is the primary purpose of old school kids programming blocks.

@Lamelo ball compared to Michael Carter-Williams that was a good one!!! Never a dull episode.that became my favorite show.

i cant imagine any kid in america who overslept on saturday morning. Saturday mornings were bigger than the superbowl and christmas.

@@regvision unfortunately it happened sometimes if your casio watch or LED radio clock alarm didn't beep.

@Anthony Edwards a bigger stronger Michael Jordan yeah i remember the constant repeats also. But the show was so good i still watched hoping they would make new ones, but the reality was they didnt like thundarr because of the violence....they just did not want the action cartoons of the 60s to return...the 70s marked the end of action cartoons on saturday mornings. .

@@jjryan1352 casio watch, LED radio!! that dont sound like no kid to me. You must have been a kid in the 90s or somethin..totally different from growing up in the 70s!

Bishop man I remember tuning the TV to the pre-broadcast test screen at 5:50am and waiting for 6am and the toons to start.

Me too!

I remember doing that as well. When the channel would "wake up" they would play the Star Spangled Banner while showing the Thunderbirds flying over iconic American landmarks. It was awesome!

And if you are young enough, you will also remember turning on the TV and waiting for the tubes to warm up before the screen would come on. Then, depending on the station, you would get the vertical color bars (NBC if I remeber correctly, what I called the bullseye (I believe CBS), or the fuzzy picture (ABC). Then you could get your cartoons and the Sid & Marty Krofft Supershow. God, I'm old as dirt.

This is very sweet, bless :)

Wow! You were quite the entrepreneur. Respect for your work-ethic! And that cookies sounds dee-lish!

Who remember ABCs Wide World of Sports?

I guess everybody had a local bowling show. "And now let's hear it for the out-of-towners!" What a let down to know that cartoons were over.

It's the notion that it was our time. Now that 'kids time's is whenever feasible', it's not as singularly special. It's far better for access, but there are tradeoffs.

They're kind of doing something on me TV now

Lots of bugs Bunny lots of Popeye some Tom and Jerry some Droopy dog some Pink panther and the inspector

Yeah sometimes when the rigors of life get to me, I fire up something from the 80s or early 90s on KZfaq. Or record a run of an old-school game. I'm the same age.

I really miss it. Even tho we were all still glued to a screen, it was different because the screen was in a fixed place. If you wanted to do something else, the screen couldn’t follow you everywhere. Made us all appreciate it much more, we were focused more in the moment when we were outside, and when we watched something on tv, it wasn’t taken for granted as much, so we were totally immersed in it.

me to it was so fun

I wish my kids could have seen them in their heyday

I’m 46 and would still be watching them. I’ve been seriously disappointed they no longer air lol.

Now all I see is paid programs in the morning,if I get lucky I'll catch some SAVED BT THE BELL early at 5a

Crypt King me 3.

When I was in kindergarten (1992), my teacher called Saturday "Cartoon Day" and Sunday "Church Day."

Not trying to bust your happy bubble but what your talking about is nothing like Saturday cartoons era, which was ended in early 90’s because of government regulation.

Trying to relate is adorable...I’ve got GI Joes older than you.

@@shawnahall7246 IIRC, NBC was the first station to move away from Saturday morning cartoons, with Fox being the last of the big 4 to move away from them. NBC actually moved away from cartoons in the early 90s (changing to Saved by the Bell & clones), while Fox still showed cartoons on Saturday morning up in to the early '00s.

@@shawnahall7246 the Early 2000s still had great cartoons dick

The Children's Television Act of 1990 ruined Saturday Morning Cartoons for broadcast networks. I'm talking slow and painful death, shoving their E/I crap down our throats since the 90s. Shows were still good though.

It's by design

​@@playerone2629it is 😢

Did you remember to play American Bandstand and Soul Train at noon to signal the end of the Saturday Morning, and time to go outside?

Give ABC a lot of credit for hardly using a pitchman for their network bumps. I use to hear Ernie Anderson do maybe one bump a week while CBS used Rick Dees and NBC had Casey Kasem for all of their bumps.

@Mr. Al 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember waiting for one of my older brothers to get up to do the magic and make the cartoons appear on screen

And makes you sick! 🤣 I'm ambivalent about the whole concept of "On Demand" but then I'm a grumpy old fart....

@@hurdygurdyguy1 To some extent I disagree- I remember growing up and only having been able to see 1 Hammer film and 1 Hitchcock because there was so little access- but I also see your point.

Then you get bored, realise the product now is mediocre, or down right terrible, and you would rather be in a dark closet that having to deal with it for one more second.

I remember in the 90's when Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon channels started to gain traction. It was THE highlight of a school holiday to discover our motel room had SKY TV with Cartoon Network. Then, once my folks finally forked out to get SKYTV at home, like you say, the novelty of 2, then 4 (with Boomerang and Disney Channel) then 6 (with Ceebeebees and NickJnr), there was just sooooo much cartoons, on all the time, it just became "so much on, and nothing to watch".

It was great because we were limited to Saturday mornings. It was special. But by the mid 80s, the best cartoons (for me) were on every day before or after school.

We have a broadcast station that has a cartoon block that also teaches morals.

and even though on some of the shows that would have PSAs'(public service announcements) at the end, whether it was about bullying, drugs or helping old ladies across the street, if one of those fave characters(Prime, Duke, Lion-O, etc) said not to do the bad stuff and do the good stuff that was gospel to a kid back then.

Same here, only I was born in 1974.

Me too I was born in 73

In my house, I got to pick a couple cartoons to watch and that was it. Allotted so many hours from the TV guide. Spent more time outside.

I was born in 74.

I got a lot of educational material from Mr Rogers and sesame street. I felt very balanced between cartoons and educational material back then. Still remember when Mr Rogers showed us a pasta factory. Cool.

Respect for the silver sugar pic!

Surfer! @#$%&ing autocorrect

Sonic X is correct if you have the time peroid correct, and the Sonic cartoon you remember was an anime.

Look up the boomerang cartoon app man it's got all the oldies

Forget it! You could never duplicate the moment, the times when you were young the commercial advertising. its an era gone by id just rather appreciate the fond memories instead of trying to re-live it. besides we have all to some degree lost special people in our lives from back then. Appreciate the memories.

Good times.

@@jasonjones7451 they mean like with the comerciales and giveaways and contests u know the whole saturday morning vibe of the 80's and 90's

Tubi and Pluto TV have a lot of old cartoons

Its like you read my mind.

That is exactly how my Saturday mornings went down

Orange slices!! lol sometimes I wonder if I was the only one that wondered what special Oprah episode of the 80's or Donahue that ALL parents truly believed that running around endlessly to kick the ball around then never think of soccer again. like ever here in America still rarely think of it and I'm 40 lol

UncleDeluxe and pop tarts 😊

These days, it's like Saturday mornings. Animal Shows. Travelogues. Did I Mention Invention with Alie Ward. The Henry Ford Museum of Innovation. Whole Grain cereal. This is the future, not like the good ol' days which were a lot better back then when you were rewarded after putting in 5 days or 40 hours of school.

Good job keep up the great nostalgia!📺

Now that brings back memories too however WWF Wrestling also came on after cartoons so I watched that and then you had some of the shows you mentioned.

Jason Harshman don’t forget Kung Fu movies

BomberMonkAssassin35 exactly I would watch and eat Frosted Flakes

Imozart...I forgot about Kung fu coming on after the cartoons! After that, then endless sports games would come on...then my world descended into endless boredom, but this was back in 1978. It picked up for me when we got cable in early 1981.

El Padre con Verga Larga Then after all that Golf,that’s when you knew it was time to go outside to see what your friends are getting into.

Not so fast, my friend. What do you do the other 8 months of the year that Gameday isn't on?

Dad watched cartoons too? Nice!

Scooby Doo, the greatest Saturday Morning cartoon of all time since 1969 while Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids is a solid second.

You can also thank MeTV for forcing CBS' hand, because CBS is ending its agreement with Litton and returning to Sat AM cartoons, starting in fall, 2023 and this can have a domino effect, because this can also force both ABC's and NBC's hands, too- this will be a gradual process. CW is continuing its agreement with Litton and Fox is out of it, entirely. The CTA of 1990 needs to be reformed to ensure SatAM stays. More to come in the coming weeks, months!!!

@@michaelpowell5266 don't count on it mike, even if CBS,NBC & ABC ending their agreement with litton & bringing back SatAm cartoons in fall 2023 it's just would not feel the same like it did in the 80s & 90s so we gotta accept reality so don't feel too confident, besides TV along with cable TV is dead anyways so what's the point of bringing back SatAM cartoons even with the three top stations ending their deal with litton that doesn't necessarily mean that SatAM cartoons is gonna be officially coming back. kids nowadays be into their tablet or phone or watch cocomelon or something else, i don't think kids in this generation cares about our SatAM cartoons anymore except us adults like me who was born 6 months after the 80s decade began, sure i also like some 70s cartoons or so on. even though sadly i was not born in the 1970s but i enjoy watching some great 70s, 80s, 90s & 00s cartoons, i'm about to be 43 in june & i stopped watching TV & relive the classics on pluto tv or any of the sites that has almost the golden era of cartoons, the ones we grew up watching. i know you don't understand what i'm saying but afa bringing back SatAM cartoons after CBS ending their deal with litton [kinda doubt it imo] (possibly NBC & ABC follow suit), i give my 2 cents that if it might be true or not or is it a fact, so like i said do not count on it, don't get me wrong i ain't no traitor it's just that even if SatAm cartoons are coming back it's just not the same anymore so you gotta realize that time has changed nowadays, so let's all enjoy the nostalgicness in cartoons especially SatAm cartoons in our hearts.

@@michaelpowell5266any update on this? As of February 2024 CBS is still showing those boring animal shows

those cartoons and movies made your imagination grow, you were always dreaming and it was great. oh yea dont forget voltron after schools also

Interestingly when Hasbro got half the transformers killed off in the movie and the backlash they got they started to realise that the cartoon/comics were standing on their own feet and slowly stopped killing off characters when their toys stopped production

Let me do a little bit of Math here. There were 520 Saturdays in the Decade of the 80's (52 Saturdays per year, for 10 years = 520 Saturdays). Cartoons aired for 4-Hours per Saturday Morning, which totalled 2,080 Hours of Saturday Morning Cartoons for the 80's Decade. That basically means, as I did not miss one minute of it, that I watched Cartoons on Saturday Mornings, in the 80's, for a total of 2 Months, 26 Days and 16 Hours!!

@@suplex2000 hahahahhah wow it seemed so much more . to be hnest i remeber waking up about 5:30am 6am and there were so cartoons on during that time and it was off about 2pm

@@macky765 I actually remember around 6:00am they would always have on Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse before the peak 8:00am start time.

Man, the days of Hanna-Barbera, Filmation and Ruby-Spears... Let me add some Rankin-Bass in the mix for good measure 😊

Warren JB, I feel the same way. KZfaq is like turning on a tv and just watching whatever is on. I wish they could just autoplay everything in your subscription box.

Warren JB, yup - youtube comes close but the content is very different. but I think im just getting old

Luckily there is cartoon network and Disney xd has some good marvel cartoon. My son who is 12 now would rather play fortnite or watch KZfaq. He won't even bother with Netflix or Hulu

you know what i wish for.... A Saturday Morning Cartoon style twitch channel that airs for 6am to 8:30 or 9am all classic and new Cartoon & Anime from 70s,80s,90, and now with classic 80s & 90s and new commercials from the U.S ,Japan & Europe also throw in some 80s & 90s music video and even some godzlla -is si-fi movies now and then at 10:00am of curse .

I remember waking up before the bloc started once in late 1986, and somehow the channel *still* used an "off the air" sign up to that point. It was close to the end of their time doing so, but...what an experience!

In Iowa if I got up to early I'd have to watch the Ag(riculture) report before the first cartoons came on.

Heaven

I remember that. There was also that one year (1991?) that it was also used to introduce the Super Nintendo on tv.

How about the best ever Canadian cartoon - Rocket Robin Hood? LOL!

Oh, I don't knowww Daaaavey :D

I'm glad someone pointed out that aspect of young life. Saturday it was jumping out of bed early in the A.M. voluntarily. Sunday morning, you became a 'drug baby' getting drug to church.

They kept Sundays sacred. Absolutely no cartoons on Sundays. On Sunday mornings, all there was on TV was preaching until about 10am or so EST. That's how I remember the 70s and 80s at least.

Except cartoons were fun and something you looked forward to... going to church (or temple, or mosque, or whatever religious installation) not so much, if at all.

@@kevinerose That was unless you had cable TV with Nick, and USA(you had to get up 6am early) in the 80's, and 90's then you could still see some cartoons on Sunday before church. otherwise you are right for broadcast TV it was all church till 12 noon on TV in my neck of the woods, and then the usually Sunday early afternoon news shows, followed by sports like Golf, Football, ec., or some crappy movie, and all PBS would show is some cooking show, travel show about Europe. or a rerun of This old House lol!

@@kevinerose heh Sundays were weird in indiana ... there was a channel 4 and on Sundays from 7 to 10 am they'd have 60s-80s anime on then jimmy swaggart on for about an hour or two and then 3 more hours of anime ....

X-Men was definitely a must watch. Especially when the Pheonix Saga premiered. Best time of our lives. lol

I still remember the the episode with Mal (The Shape-Shifter.)

Ah yes. The Dark Phoenix saga from the 90's is still the best animated series yet ! My favorite scene was when Galdiator tossed the Juggernaut like a rag doll

The 80s were not the golden age of cartoons. Late 60s early /mid 70s were the golden age of saturday mornings.

you can't forget, you had to have your favorite bowl of cereal with you.

while I defend free-market Capitalism to the death--and believe advertisers should be allowed to market however they see fit--I do find the whole concept of "you want this show to continue? buy the toys" to be extremely manipulative. I keep thinking....you mean....you can't possibly get the show to continue in *any* other way, like (and I'm just throwing this out there) advertising revenue? What if we like the show, but not the toys? What if we like the toys, but not the show? I loved franchises that really fleshed out their worlds, and kept pulling you back in with better storytelling as time went on. I find it frustrating when many franchises completely "flamed out" because companies were so focused on just selling the toys, they barely bothered to put in the effort to make us care about them; case in point: MASK, COPS, and Super Naturals. MASK was a really fun concept with awesome characters....yet the origin story makes no sense, when Trakker *references* it in an episode, he sounds like a naive dolt, and the direction the series went...also made absolutely no sense. COPS--again, fun characters with potential--got bogged down in paint-by-numbers cliches, which is why we only got one season of the show, and no Mainframe figure. Super Naturals...gave us one friggin' comic book, which barely explained anything....and then they wonder why the figures hit clearance, despite being so awesome, and I would've wanted to know more.....

Tony Jackson I agree!

And now we have south park teaching our 4th graders how to curse like sailors lol. I'm a fan but won't let my kid watch

I was never into those so-called action packed afternoon cartoon like G.I.Joe and Transformer Thundercats and stuff and tried to keep my younger brothers to not watch those programs as it produces too much questionable violence compared to nicer cartoons like Scooby Doo and Teddy Ruxpin.

@@Decade_of_the_Dawg That show isn't aimed at kids anyway, it's TV-MA which is 17 or 18 and up. Kids still watch it though.

Yeah being stealthy was an important part of my childhood. My siblings and I joked, we don't need play the board game, Don't Wake Daddy...we lived it.

We did become monsters. Look around.

Bro you just sat on your fat ass and watched the chill

I can't help feeling that the love for Saturday morning cartoons is greatly distorted by nostalgia for one's childhood...

Can't agree with you more.

James Matthews yes and no. While definitely the remembrance of QUALITY is distorted, typically Saturday Morning Cartoons symbolized a break from school, a freedom we only knew in a personal age we likely don't remember, and also a bond with friends and siblings. AND it was definitely the first chance to actually control the -one- television in the house. for a kid it wasn't just press a button and see some stuff, you dictated what was viewed, and learned to compromise through this control.

And Kick Buttowski!

I bet I could still sing the lyrics to Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Gummi Bears themes...
