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?

I honestly can't remember what I used to watch Sat mornings but I do know I was always looking out to catch Kirby Right Back at Ya which was on pretty rarely and sporadically. Was always low-key disappointed when it wasnt on then

Nowadays, I like things like Grim and Evil and Superjail! Wish I could find Duck Dodgers

X-men '97 is a worthy successor of you haven't already seen it!

[-] Devadander@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Seen it, enjoyed it! Thanks!

[-] QueenFern@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Loved watching Batman & Pinkie and the Brain. Freakazoid was the rare one.

[-] Grimm665@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

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)

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Foghorn leghorn was always my absolute favorite

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I got so pumped when foghorn memes were a thing for a week or two.

Eek! The cat

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/

  • capt N
  • the legend of zelda
  • back to the future: the cartoon
  • attack of the killer tomatoes
  • transformers
  • voltron
  • beast wars
  • tmnt

I'm sure there's one or two I'm forgetting but if any of those were on the TV, I was watching it.

Static Shock

Don't know if actually Saturday mornings but The Gumby Show, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Thunderbirds. Spiderman was Saturday mornings for sure.
All were rare, TV was in parents bedroom until I was in middle school and I needed permission to watch.

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

TMNT and GI Joe.

Actually, I can't recall if those were Saturday morning cartoons or daily ones.

[-] Habitforming@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I think I emember GI Joe being daily and Turtles being Saturday morning, but that might have varied by local station.

Jackie Chan Adventures

Animaniacs

Histeria

Freakazoid

[-] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Samurai Jack. I still enjoy it as an adult (an interesting case study in storytelling using a minimum of voice/narration).

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Show, Thundarr the Barbarian, Dungeons and Dragons, Gummi Bears

[-] Fletcher@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

A man of culture, here. I concur, good sir!

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Bugs Bunny
Jonny Quest
The Thunderbirds
The Flinstones
The Jetsons
Beanie and Cecil
Roger Ramjet
Rocketship 7 with Dave Thomas

[-] Hasherm0n@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I saw reboot, TMNT, and Tex Avery mentioned which were a few good favorites.

A couple of others I haven't seen mentioned yet would be Wild C.A.T.S. and Street Sharks.

[-] confuser@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

My cartoons that I remember as a kid were 4kidstv shows, whatever was on there at the time, so I guess things like kirby, tmnt, sonic x, wins club, yugioh, chaotic. One piece was apparently a thing that was on at the time too but I wasn't really interested in it at all. There are some other shows tucked away in my memories that may or may not be from 4kidstv but I feel like they sit in that timeframe as a kid...idk what these other shows are, I just know I'm forgetting a few.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Samurai Pizza Cats. They got more fur than any turtle ever had

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

They’re stronger than Old Cheese

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Definitely Road Runner.

As for a rare one, Lost In Space. My spoiled brother had to have Batman, every week.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The OG Looney Tunes.

[-] Habitforming@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 1 points 2 months ago

Sonic Underground

[-] Libb@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago
[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Spiderman, the Paul Soles version.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That 90s Tex Avery show. Though, admittedly I think it was a weekday morning show, so probably doesn't fit...

[-] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Hong Kong Phooey (number one super guy)!
