Batman TAS is unbelievably good. Gets a little better every time I rewatch it.

I assume that where there is no listing, that half hour is a continuation of the previous half hour's programming, except at 6 am, in which case I assume that station was off the air.

It’s funny how I think cartoons from 10 years before are too old, and cartoons from 10 years after are too new, and everyone else experiences some variation of that depending on when they were born, and that all I’m left with is the feeling of time slipping away from me, like I was wrestling a greased up seal in a tub of oil

As someone who started watching Saturday morning cartoons in the 1960's, I can definitely say the mid 90's was peak cartoon.
For a decade that 8am to 12pm slot on Saturdays was back to back gold.
replies:
Sabrina was on Friday nights though, so I get why she'd be freaked out to still exist on Saturday morning
And if you missed them, you missed them...
Fun fact Saturday morning cartoons took a nose dive when regulations on advertising to children started getting tighter.
Most of these cartoons/series were developed or funded by toy companies
replies:
X-Men '97 continues where X-Men left off. Worth a watch.
Is anybody else of the opinion, that only Power Rangers are unwatchable now? The rest holds up.
replies:
Wait, TMNT was still on in the ’90s?
replies:
Not to mention Sabrina the Teenage Witch!
replies:
I'm still angry at Power Rangers for taking over Sonic the Hedgehog's Saturday morning timeslot. That show was infinitely better than Power Rangers.
Where's Ren and Stimpy on this list?
replies:
There were so many commercials!!!
replies:
I still get this. Streaming is great, and it doesn't end with an infomercial.
I remember back in first grade being able to watch Power Rangers when I got home. On Thursdays we would get out early and I could watch Bobby's World right before. Those were simpler times.
replies:
I remember a lot of them because most were on Fox Kids in the Netherlands but I didn't have Cartoon Network so I missed some of those shows.
I also remember watching Walking With Dinosaurs as a kid. Than you also had the two Superman shows: Superman The Animated Series and Lois & Clark: The new adventures of Superman.
And as a kid I really enjoyed Star Trek Voyager.
No 'One Saturday Morning'?
Assuming your family had the money to pay for the fancy TV channels that got these shows, otherwise good luck it's just the 4 regular terrestrial channels and reruns of Thunderbirds and Danger Mouse xD
replies:
Me, when Tommy Oliver was in the intro: “YES!!”
And those are the facts
They also played reruns in the early mornings and late afternoons on weekdays.
Nothing fun ever played on Sundays.
Bruh. We ate so good.
Yeah kids they will never know because they can watch their shows anytime they want on streaming

Needs more Canadian shows, Canada ruled the 90 kids show scene.
replies:
I tried to relive some of my childhood by downloading some older cartoons, like Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck. They are not as good as I remember :(
replies:
I remember watching Battletech and Bots Master. Good times.
Hahaha! The 90's were absolute shit compared to the 80's. Saturday morning was EPIC!!
You can watch any of these at any time right now.
Slightly off topic, forgive me as I'm somewhat ancient, but why does this image seem somewhat...obscene? I may be overthinking.
