Pretty much anything rare rare for me. I often wasn't up early enough or didn't think to watch them.

MODERATORS
Wiley coyote and road runner, and Tom a Jerry.
More withing my era, rocket power, CatDog, and other golden age nickelodeon shows.
Good ol' Looney Tunes, especially Bugs Bunny. Partly just because it was hilarious, but mostly because my dad used to watch Bugs Bunny with me and we would laugh at different parts, cause they included jokes and gags aimed at adults too.
BEAST WARS!
Samurai Pizza Cats. They got more fur than any turtle ever had
Were they adolescent?
They’re stronger than Old Cheese
Eek! The cat
The OG Looney Tunes.
For a relaxing Sunday Morning? Probably Timon & Pumbaa and Dexter's Lab. At night things got spicy with Courage the Cowardly Dog and Gundam Wing.
When my family got Boomerang and Toon Disney channels, life was good.
There was this Peter Pan and the Pirates show I really liked and I never see recognition in the eyes of others when I mention it, but it was on every afternoon as a kid in addition to Sat mornings.
Spiderman, the Paul Soles version.
Gummy Bears!
Just looked it up now and am pleasantly surprised it still rates a 7.5 on IMDB so I wasn't necessarily watching complete tat 😁 https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0088528/
Sonic Underground
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!
X-Men
X-men '97 is a worthy successor of you haven't already seen it!
Seen it, enjoyed it! Thanks!
The GOAT
Loved watching Batman & Pinkie and the Brain. Freakazoid was the rare one.
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

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)
Bobby’s World
Bugs Bunny
Jonny Quest
The Thunderbirds
The Flinstones
The Jetsons
Beanie and Cecil
Roger Ramjet
Rocketship 7 with Dave Thomas
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)
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.
Static Shock
Pee-Wee’s Playhouse!
HAAHA
TMNT and GI Joe.
Actually, I can't recall if those were Saturday morning cartoons or daily ones.
I think I emember GI Joe being daily and Turtles being Saturday morning, but that might have varied by local station.

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.
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
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.
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.
Ulysse 31.
Shaman King and Digimon ♥️
