MODERATORS
Classics like Bugs Bunny and Animaniacs were always good. Doug. Pepper Anne.
Ones that most people have forgotten or didn't know because they weren't exposed to Canadian shows as a kid:
Science Court was on ABC's One Saturday Morning and I loved it. Technically a Sunday morning one, but The Smoggies for the Canadian people here that are of a certain age! The Raccoons (another Canadian one)
didn't have a favorite really.
- super mario bros super show
- capt N
- the legend of zelda
- back to the future: the cartoon
- attack of the killer tomatoes
- transformers
- voltron
- beast wars
- tmnt
- ghost busters
- gargoyles
- batman tas
- superman tas
- animaniacs
- freakazoid
- looney tunes
- taz-mania
- tinytoons
- garfield and friends
I'm sure there's one or two I'm forgetting but if any of those were on the TV, I was watching it.
Captain N was so weird when you think about it as an adult: Isekai of the week, done as a commercial for video games.
It worked, though, and I loved it too!
Bugs Bunny
Jonny Quest
The Thunderbirds
The Flinstones
The Jetsons
Beanie and Cecil
Roger Ramjet
Rocketship 7 with Dave Thomas
Thundercats. Teenage mutant ninja turtles. Randomly heathcliffe, Garfield, James Bond jr, captain planet, GI Joe.
Saturday mornings were mostly looney toons and roadrunner type stuff.
Bobby’s World
The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Show, Thundarr the Barbarian, Dungeons and Dragons, Gummi Bears
A man of culture, here. I concur, good sir!
Omg, are you me? Exactly in that order.
You're just the same age
Someone's crotchety.
X-Men
The GOAT
That 90s Tex Avery show. Though, admittedly I think it was a weekday morning show, so probably doesn't fit...
Its about whatever you watched on sat morning, not how ubiquitous the shows syndication was. Same with rare, its rare for YOU im asking about :)
Also, which shows were rare: meaning, you looked out for them and felt lucky when you caught them but that you didnt often get to see?
That makes it easy: Sonic the Hedgehog. SonicSatAM. The darker, more anime-like series.
It is forever burned in my mind, and I only ever saw like 6 whole episodes. It came on at like 5am. 😩
That villain guy with the shades and the handlebar mustache was made for tv
Reboot!
Jackie Chan Adventures
Animaniacs
Histeria
Freakazoid
Jackie Chan Adventures always made my day, the little messages from Jackie at the end of each episode were the height of my week back then
Freakazoid has to be drawn heavily from Robin Williams and his Genie from Aladdin
Loved watching Batman & Pinkie and the Brain. Freakazoid was the rare one.
Samurai Jack. I still enjoy it as an adult (an interesting case study in storytelling using a minimum of voice/narration).
Road Runner and Wile E Coyote was my favorite. It was somewhat rare in amongst all the WB morning cartoons. The rare one I always looked out for and almost never saw: Catch the Pidgeon (Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines)
Foghorn leghorn was always my absolute favorite
I got so pumped when foghorn memes were a thing for a week or two.
Uhh say–Uhh say—thats jus damm proposteros, Boy
Static Shock
Pee-Wee’s Playhouse!
Rare for me was Nickelodeon, or any premium cartoon channel really. I only saw their cartoons during free trials growing up. No Spongebob for me. I had Y-TV and PBS mainly. Some cartoons mirrored from Fox Kids. Stuff like that. I also had a nearby library. We did have Comedy Central.
Futurama was my favorite for sure.
Younger me loved Rupert, especially the mirror dimension episode.
changed as new ones came up. I remember being excited with battle of the planets and isis but later thundar the barbarian seemed way cool. The D&D one especially the bow and eventually the transformers but by that time I was getting the you are too old for cartoons thing. Still not sure at what point I will think im too old.
Old School Bugs & Daffy. The Pink Panther. Scooby Doo. Jam out with the Schoolhouse Rock. Then after lunch, This Week in Baseball, American Bandstand, Soul Train & Wide World of Sports.
TMNT and GI Joe.
Actually, I can't recall if those were Saturday morning cartoons or daily ones.
Daily iirc.I had the same question lol. I have them all on my plex now.
Shaman King and Digimon ♥️
