The "Saturday Morning Cartoons" thing is weird in that I know you all would have trouble getting up at 8am during the week but come the weekend, you would be up at the crack of dawn roaring to watch tv for like 4 hours I was talking about Saturday Morning Cartoons with a friend just awhile ago, was trying to remember the name of some cartoons I had watched. Took me some time to find out what they were, stuff like The Bots Master, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Dinoriders, Jayce and Wheeled Warriors, and The Centurions. Then there was the stuff you could remember easliy like Transformers, Thundercats, M.A.S.K, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, Captain Planet, and Biker Mice from Mars to name a few. ahhh good memories they are Nowadays only time ever really watch cartoons is when I go to my Grans. My nephew is usually there too and he hogs the tv, so gotta watch wahtever he wants to watch. I only just recently seen stuff like Ben10, One about Footballers with hax powers, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX!(oh btw this is got one of the funniest ads I seen for a kids show yet, its awesome!), Huntik(<--this one I actually quite like)

OMG, bikerr mice from mars.... probably the inspiration for sonic doinking a 2d girl lol.
My fondest memory is definitely POwer Rangers season 1-3, white/green ranger had the best zords compared to the others. Also in more recent times I watched Jackie Chan Adventures... pretty simplistic plot but man the talismans and tooru were pretty awesome plus its Jackie chan. more nostalgia, Tintin, dubbed Samurai Pizza Cats.. loved this show, looney tunes i remember my dad specifically taped these for me, tale spin, this creepy crawlers show, oh YEA DARKSTALKERS.... oohhh man.... FELICIA was sooo hawt not to mention Moragan... and this was when i was 12 wow now I think about my childhood kids were exposed to lots of sexually charged programming back then. best* american cartoon has to be Duckman probably the progenitor of the dark satirical nature of shows like south park, futurama, family guy. |

I remember Duckman was AWESOME. I used to fill my Saturdays with Dexter, Pokemon, Animaniacs, Chip and Dale, Bugs Bunny, and Pinky and the Brain. If you want to go further back The Magic Shoolbus and Arthur were my favorites.
Also, this isn't a cartoon but does anyone remember that one show with a scientist who would do weird simple experiments (always dressed in a white labcoat)? The show was aimed at kids. I forget its name but he was my hero when I was smaller. Spoiler:

While the days of good TMNT, He-Man, Thundercats, GI Joe, Transformers, Spider-Man, The Tick, X-Men and other classics are over, there are plenty of good toons to still be had, I guess you just got to have an open mind to them. |

I think the only show I could classify as "good" in the recent generation is probably Teen Titans, talk about quite an awesome show targetted at kids. I would say the new spiderman series is quite pimpin too, except the art style is not quite to my liking. Oh yea another little favorite... Viva pinata, wow talk about the merchandising arm of microsoft. Really i felt like they did the game a disservice by not having this show on more networks probably one of the best episodic comedy schtiks on early morning tv in long while.

I remember watching Gummie Bears and Winnie the Pooh.. those are probably my most vidid memories.
Also know I loved to watch Loony Tunes. My father said I was pretty diehard.. never missing a single episode Also remember watching Dinosaucers, Garfield, Tiny Toons, and Pinky and the Brain. Although not a cartoon, but I remember watching Saved by the bell most saturdays as well.

I remember loving everything from the action of He-Man, Turtles, Thundercats and all of those great shows to the light hearted stuff like Garfield and Friends and Muppet Babies, all of which were gems in my eyes.... |

I only remember that Turtles, Spiderman, and Darkwater Pirates were all hot back then. A bit later came the martian mouses and the Mask, but I never really liked of either of those.
Kinda tried watching them again a few months ago and the characters were just... bleargh. The original TMNT comics were nice, though. I didn't know they used to have blood in them and that Shredded actually died early on (before the series was turned into a commercial milking machine). |

Satellite broadcasters were put on the cable here in the mid 80s with channels like Sky channel, Super channel and RTL television. Saturdays mornings were never the same again during the 80s (not to mention my English and German language skills got boosted).
From what I remember it started off at 6.00 am with Sailormoon or GI-Joe. Some other series: Thundersub Sabre rider Robotech Jayce and the Wheeled warriors Dungeons and Dragons Laser Academy Voltron Mask Transformers Care Bears Galaxy Rangers BraveStarr COPS DinoRiders Bionic Six TMNT Captain N Heath Clif Jem Duck Tales My little pony Star Com Galaxy High Once upon a time...Space Once upon a time...Life Macron one Defenders of the Earth and I'm probably forgetting many more. Shame that the whole saturday morning cartoon thing is pretty much gone. I'd need to buy the kids packages now from the digital cable companies if I wanted more cartoons. |

I forget some of it, but I remember there were two different intro's that had lyrics something like.... "When your room seems kind of weird and you wish that you weren't there, Just close your eyes and make believe and you can be anywhere.....", and then I forgot the rest..... But there was a longer intro that right after that verse I just typed, the different characters would chime in with something like, "I like adventure, I like romance, I tell great jokes, ANIMAL DANCE, I play my computer, I swing through the air...." and there was some more words I don't remember......maybe I'll youtube it. Anyhow, Muppet Babies will probably never see the light of day on DVD due to all of the sound and video samples that were used. |

º o º Mannn this is going to be a long one.
Hnm.. I don't think mention everything that I watched all those mornings is ever going to be fun. So anyway here's the first: Garfield and Friends. I also recall watching this every afternoon or sometimes in the non-weekend mornings. |

I never watched it religiously but for that timeslot I'm pretty sure if I was up I would watch it unless it was a rerun. Compared to a lot of the other stuff that was on, it had the most anime feel to it, and there was a plot instead of the typical episodic content say in the some of the other stuff on at teh time. Personally robin was one of my least favorite characters in the series because hes just a scrubby younger version of batman with out all the darkness that surrounds batman.

My morning usually started some time around 6 am, with a healthy dose of cartoons until noon, then Nintendo until dinner time, then back to Nintendo, or over to a friends house to play...Nintendo. Ahh, those were the days.
