I miss Saturday morning cartoons...

[Shadowdust]

Well I really do. I remember that Saturday was the day to look forward to when I was a kid because of all of the great cartoons on. I mean, we had: Pirates of Dark Water, Spiderman, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (original cartoon), Looney Tunes, Gargoyles, Superman, Batman, and a whole lot of other great cartoons. It had to last until early afternoon. Now, it just seems like silly nonsense is shown, and not only that, the silly nonsense that kids enjoy today doesn't even last longer than 10 a.m. or so. What sad times we live in.

EDIT: I almost forgot about The Tick.

I'm sure the older folks thought what we watched was silly nonsense. But as for it not being on, that's because now there are whole cable channels devoted to cartoons/kids programming. It's kind of depressing, but I dont mind because the only instances where I'm up while Saturday morning cartoons are on is when I've been up all night previously.

yeah me too, and the cartoons that they had before school, they used to have anime at 7-8:30am, and i'd always get to see it. And other days too, the saturday ones were the best, and a few on sundays too

[Shlup]

I really liked TMNT, My Little Ponies, Rainbow Brite, Wuzzles, Fraggle Rock, and Rose Petal Place. Among others, but those are the ones that come to mind right now.

Even with all the cable channels devoted to cartoons I still don't think they are of the quality that ours were. Except for maybe spongebob.

[Jojee]

Yeah, no kidding! I really miss TMNT, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, X-Men, the original Power Rangers, CAP'N PLANET, hahaha VR Troopers... XD

What the crap are they showing now? =| Ed, Edd, and Eddy!? Ugh! Courage the Cowardly Dog? It's all a bunch of shiet.

[kirstie]

i think i watched ed edd and eddy and courage once in the afternoon, but they arn't really the classics are they? I haven't seen the superman cartoon for ages, *yells* BRING THEM BACK!! *starts to chant and waves signs* lol

A lot of the old cartoons from the early to mid 90s were good, but a lot were crap, just like today's cartoons. KidsWB and Fox both run cartoon shows on Saturday mornings from 8am to 12pm, which is about the same as it always was... so I don't get how anything's changed except the shows. There are a lot of good shows now... The new TMNT isn't half bad (the old one is actually pretty horrible... I recently watched it), the new Batman show is pretty good too. Teen Titans is really enjoyable as well and so is the Jackie Chan Adventures. The only thing is that a lot of the shows nowadays are anime that's all chopped up and stuff... but the end result isn't too bad if you haven't seen what it was like before.

Of course, we'll probably never see a cartoon with the same quality as the original Batman series... that stuff was classic, and it ran for 10 years. Not bad for a cartoon. I think the best cartoons on now are probably Teen Titans and Kim Possible.

I miss Eek the Cat.

Recess on 1 Saturday Morning was my favourite Saturday cartoon.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy is very hillarious in my opinion. It's stupid and ridiculous, but I love that stuff. And Spongebob is genius. Who would think someone could makes so many funny episodes (and so much money) out of the adventures of Sponge? Teen Titans is great too. It's one of my favourite shows on Cartoon Network.

But Captain Planet... I was just watching that this morning cause I have to wake up early for school. I hate that show. I think Captain Planet came about from a lot of people in a room trying to think up a show that could hold as many bad puns and morals as possible.

Thankfully, Recess thrives on the Disney Channel. Otherwise, I would've shot my TV a long time ago.

That, and the other show they had, Fillmore. I caught an episode of that on vacation once, and it's actually pretty witty. I'd never seen it when it was on ABC, but I approve.

Thank goodness for "The Weekenders"

I dont have cable but theres cartoon shows every morning from 7 to 9 exept sundays! Lately Cheez tv sucks (lol i still watch that show)....the hosts are out of puff after 9 nears....

p.s disney needs new material...

[Shadowdust]

I'm sure the older folks thought what we watched was silly nonsense.

I don't know about that. I mean, my dad would be just as into some of the cartoons when I was a kid as I was. And apparently some of the older folks I work with discussed this subject and we came up with a lot of similar shows that we enjoyed in times past.

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

Not a cartoon, but Adventures of Pete and Pete kicks all those shows' asses.
