The only thing I really remember wanting to get home faster not to miss a single second of was Pokemon. Before and after that, in my life, the shows I was most excited for came on at prime time (like everything on TGIF back in the day).

It's in a book

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 9 points 10 months ago

Probably any of: GI Joe, Transformers, and/or He-Man.

But I had to wake up at 6 fucking AM to watch Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors for some fucking reason.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 10 months ago

well they were some quick changin fightin machines. I actually found it on one of the free streams and man was that a hokey story line. I was the same though. I don't recall but it was usually some cartoon because that was what was on at a time I might catch it if im fast enough.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

At various different points of my life: Pokemon, Recess, Kim Possible, the Simpsons, Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

All in order?

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

d-d-d-digimon

[-] Bronzefish@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah. The original digimon series was the best. Dont remember much of the story, but the feeling it left is still very vivid.

[-] wargreymon@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I don't remember exactly either, but the villains are very intimidating it was truly an adventure.

[-] DLSantini@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Dragon Ball Z. But that wasn't on until 5, and I had to sit through the other crap that Cartoon Network played before that.

Transformers and thundercats

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

The 1980's Thundercats or the 2011 Thundercats (or the newest Thundercats, I don't judge)?

[-] Blackout@kbin.run 5 points 10 months ago

80s. I was lucky enough to live near a large Japanese population so on Saturday mornings it was Gundam and Dragonball

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

Weekdays we had Star Blazers. Watched a couple episodes with my youngest who is an artist and boy...we're there some terrible animations in it!

10yo me loved it though

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I would recommend the 2011 version, it's like they took notes from Avatar.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

You didn't specify WHICH school. Assuming elementary school, it was probably Star Trek. If it was something like college then it would probably have been something like... oh yeah Star Trek.

[-] str82L@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

The Goodies, and Monkey. Can't remember which one came on first.

[-] thouartfrugal@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Bus ride meant I missed a good hour of the 'toons. But every Wednesday evening there was a test of the local fire station's air siren, and I'd know it was time to rush home and catch MacGyver!

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Darkwing Duck. High School and college, actually.

Power Rangers?

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago
[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I've heard of Simba and Kimba but not Ligma. I guess if the formula works...

All of y'all with your fancy cable network toonami and cartoon network eh.

And here I was stuck with FOX and WB (basically just pokemon)

[-] Thrife@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago

We had a whole afternoon program filled with Anime. It brought me sailor moon, ranma, Pokémon, DragonBall, Digimon and so many more! Good old times.

[-] CommissarVulpin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Liberty’s Kids and Cyberchase

Why yes, I too am also in my 30s just like everyone that commented here!

I also end almost every sentence or text with LOL.

More seriously, I’ll also toss out Beast Wars (Transformers) since that wasn’t mentioned.

I was a scrawny kid with asthma and a head too big for his body. But I RAN to the bus after school and shot through the front door to the TV. That year started with Battle of the Planets and then blended into Robotech into one long japanimation smear only broken by a summer of Return of the Jedi and lots of comic books that suddenly got dark.

[-] Libb@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago

50+ dude, here: there was no show I rushed home for as... I was not allowed to watch TV when I was a child. Heck, we even had not tv up until I was 8, or maybe 9.

Later, as a teen and after my parents finally got a tv, I would voraciously watch the Twilight Zone (the Rod Serling version, in B&W) but its episodes were aired on week-ends. So I had no real need to rush either ;)

Nowadays, My spouse and I have quit watching tv since the early 00s, when we realized we were getting tired of spending money while still have to watch ads... all of that for contents we were not really huge fans of. So we don't have a TV at all, when we watch a disc or something, it's on a computer screen.

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

For me, it was Duck Tails (WOOhoo!) and The Super Mario Brothers Super Show!

[-] tilefan@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

we had a VCR for as long as I can remember, so never really rushed anywhere to watch anything

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 1 points 10 months ago

The SBFP Bloodborne playthrough. We had a TV, but it was pretty much unused.

[-] Shah_of_Iran@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

My brother and I liked watching Code Lyoko and Code Name: Kids Next Door
