I never saw most of the cartoons, because the shit startet at 6 am and as a child I loved seeping without having a schedule.

Shhh as long as mom stays asleep she can't know we're watching cartoons!

(Mom knows. Mom just wants to sleep in).

Fast forward 30 years and my kids are fine launching cartoons on Jellyfin but apparently wake up completely deaf, because my alarm clock all summer has been the 10-tone Teen Titans: Go interstitial at max volume.

Oh well. Could be worse shows. It is DC Comics longest-running animated show, after all.

And my kids circadian rhythm is on point. It's almost the exact same time every day...when the night begins to shine.

Er mer gerd! Magic School Bus isn't shown?

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

I couldn't watch many of these because I had Saturday school :(

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

I could watch Dragon Ball and MegaMan super early in the morning too.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

Most of these weren't even Saturday morning shows for me; they were after school shows that aired during the weekdays.

Out of this list the only ones that were exclusive to Saturday were Bobby's World, Life with Louie, TMNT and The Tick.

[–] yrnttm@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Life with Louie was pretty good. I grew up in WI and the packer references were fire. Lol

[–] w33n1s@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Eeek the Cat. I 'member.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I was that weird kid who liked Bobby's World the most.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Thundercats, Dragonball, Batman TAS , Sailor Moon (my sister, not me..ofc..), X-Men, Pokemon, Inspector Gadget.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago

I watched Sailor Moon because they were all my girlfriends. I can admit that at this point of my life.

[–] gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world 48 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

The Tick!!! That cartoon was ridiculously funny.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

The 2001 live action show was enjoyable too. The more recent amazon reboot wasn't bad either. Actually got two seasons and an arc.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 9 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

I enjoyed the more recent one over the 2001. They both came out on Netflix recently.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The antenna were what sold the 2001 for me. That and Warburton. I don't know that I've ever seen anything with Warburton in it that I didn't like. But between him and those damn animatronic antenna. Even though he didn't have the proper cowl Etc it was still very enjoyable. The fox show was definitely a lot campier and low budget. But that sort of worked for it in a way. While they had a lot of star cameos throughout the short run. Just some of the basic scenarios and situations were hilarious. Like the tick fighting the Red Scare in an elevator while Jimmy Carter watched on. But then I'm also an older viewer so probably your mileage could vary.

Unfortunately edland didn't have the full rights to all the characters. So each show is really its own experience. But I think at least some Nostalgia puts the 2001 a little bit out ahead of the Amazon reboot. Even though I could easily recommend it.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know that I've ever seen anything with Warburton in it that I didn't like.

Then you're very unlikely to enjoy his stand-up

[–] happysplinter@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

I never knew he did standup. Had to look it up. Dear god this is the truest comment I've ever seen on Lemmy.

What is this picture from? It's like a breakfast bukake scene.

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Clarissa Explains It All maybe?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

It's so crunchy I thought it was Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Clarissa Explains it All is older than Sabrina; which is why I am with you for it being from Sabrina because Melissa is almost a full grown adult in this picture.

[–] MML@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

I'm with y'all cause I googled "Sabrina breakfast scene"

Where is Earthworm Jim?

Or did I hallucinate that cartoon...

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I never saw the cartoon, but I definitely played as him in Clay Fighter 63⅓.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Now that's the thing. Right before or after Rurouni Kenshin.

Now do another one for 2005.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

I'm pretty sure that Saturday morning cartoons had been nuked by then. Only holdouts I think were Fox affiliates and Nickelodeon.

[–] bklyn@piefed.social 30 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

TMNT, Batman TAS, and DuckTales (woo-oo!) for me! I used to set my alarm!

Edit: Admittedly, this was a few years earlier. By 1995, I was 16, and I had more interesting things to do, having just gotten my drivers license. Does anyone remember Q-Zar? also, paintball was all the craze at the time.

The 80s and 90s were a really fun time to grow up.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 13 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I preferred tail spin to duck tails, but either way both themes slapped.

The tailspin video game was one of my favorites

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

I'mstill amazed Tailspin existed. Retrofuturism with sky pirates and the cast of the Jungle Book. It's an insane, awesome concept.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 9 points 18 hours ago

Spider-man and his Amazing Friends and a giant ass bowl of cereal. Life was good.

[–] D@piefed.social 22 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

The Wild Thornberries, Hey Arnold, Doug, Aaahh!! Real Monsters... didn't know how good I had it.

🎶That's right... The answer to the riddle is cakes on the griddle! 🎶

Thats's from my favorite episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch where Sabrina tries pancakes, but pancakes are crack to witches. I remember after watching it, I went on a pancake bender myself 😆

[–] comador@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

USA Cartoon Express of the 80s and early 90s was the only reason to wake up on Saturday mornings.
