Kids WB and Fox Kids. Pokemon and Yu-Gi-OH were my must watches for years. Digimon a little bit but as a kid it was always like off-brand Pokemon to me. Between 2000 and 2003 were the years I was really into Saturday morning cartoons so shows like Ozzy and Drix, Static Shock, What's New Scooby-Doo are shows I remember watching a ton.

Okay, I'll pretty much date myself here: I watched Scooby-Doo and Super Friends for the most part. I remember when the original Star Trek cartoon came on. Shazam! and Isis. Schoolhouse Rock. Josie and the Pussycats. Hong Kong Phooey. Space Academy and Jason of Star Command. Stuff like that! :)

Pee-Wee’s Playhouse was always the last kids’ show to air on Saturday mornings. The melancholy music at the end had an extra impact since it indicated the end of anything good to watch for the rest of the day.

German here, born in 1983. up to 5th grade, we had school every second Saturday, so I couldn't watch things regularly. things that I distinctly remember as being on during Saturday morning blocks are:

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
  • MASK
  • the "Land of the Lost" remake
  • classic Scooby-Doo
  • Bucky O'Hare
  • COPS
  • and a sitcom called "Major Dad"

Canadian here, sounds like my Saturday morning programming in the late 80s/early 90s. Very specifically TMNT & Land of the Lost remake. A little bit of Darkwing Duck, Duck Tales, Rainbow Brite, Ghostbusters. I also vaguely remember reruns of Schoolhouse Rock, The Hilarious House of Frightenstein and The Monkees for a period of time. So many shows I haven't thought about in years!

UK, which imported shows and you'd either get them on BBC, ITV or Channel4, I think Channel 4 had the best early morning cartoon block then it was surfing between ITV and BBC for their 'magazine' style shows that included cartoons. (Live and Kicking/Ghost Train)

And these are the ones I can remember, There is likely more.

The Raccoons, Swat Kats, Godzilla, Jonny Quest, Xmen, Round the Bend (with the team behind spitting image puppets), Spiderman, TMNT, Prince Valiant, The Pirates of Dark Water, Muppet Babies, Trapdoor, Morph, Poddington Peas, Dungeons and Dragons, Bucky O'Hare, Gummy Bears, Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Recess, The Wuzzles, BatmanTAS, Rescue Rangers, Tail Spin, Duck Tales, Mighty Max, Sharky and George, Alfred J Quack, Moomins, Biker Mice From Mars, Heathcliff and Friends, The Bluffers, Sonic SatAM, Galaxy High, Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego, Ulysses 31, Saved By The Bell, The Secret World of Alex Mack,

Not vouching for the quality of any of them and would have covered many years (and they'd mix reruns in I don't think we got anything in sync with the US), I generally flicked around for the least boring thing and some of them could be gap fillers that I remember the name of.

Edit: and ITV and BBC had an after school block with more content where there were even more shows and I've tried not to list any of those, but my mind might be going a bit after all this time :D

So much nostalgia, especially the opening of Johnny Quest

I don't remember, honestly. Most of the ones I can think of were weekday morning cartoons.

The closest thing I can remember: when my dad would take my brother and I up to northern wisconsin and we'd borrow a family-friend's small cabin for the weekend (no indoor bathroom, no running water, no electricity...but there was an outhouse, a manual hand water pump down by the lake, and central "gas" for lighting, a heater and the stove), there was a radio station that would simulcast the CBS TV station's audio, and we'd listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks on Saturday or Sunday.

Saturday mornings were my shit as a 90's Canadian kid. Disney Channel was never my thing so much, but Fox Kids, ABC, NBC, CBS, coupled with kids channels like YTV, it was amazing.

Animaniacs, Beast Wars, Bump In The Night, Captain Planet, Gummi Bears, Doug, Freakazoid, Samurai Pizza Cats, Garfield, X-Men, Spider-Man, Looney Tunes, Mighty Max, ReBoot, Transformers, TMNT, Gargoyles, I could go on.

My childhood trajectory was:

TMMT

Pokémon

DBZ

I was a raucous boy so DBZ was by far my favorite. This was back in the Freiza saga when the show was at its absolute best

We were a Fox Kids household.

Depending on how early you got up, you could catch Carmen Sandiego (the underrated, kind of dark cartoon), Fantastic Four, The Tick, BTAS, and a bunch that I’m forgetting, and it all wrapped up with X-Men, then lunch, then the Saturday begins as the parents wake up.

Eventually, KidsWB complicated things with Men In Black, Batman Superman Adventures, Static Shock, and a few others.

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends

TMNT was an after school event, and later on the Disney Afternoon.

I was lucky if I caught the last 15 mins of a show before golf came on, luckily most the good stuff was on syndication after school anyway but I never caught new episodes unless I pulled an all nighter to watch the premier of Power Rangers or whatever.

My go to shows were Muppet Babies and Ghostbusters and I guess TMNT too. This was when I was really young though. I actually don't remember much about network Saturday morning cartoons, when I was seven I discovered Nickelodeon and then that was that. Of the three shows I mentioned Muppet Babies is the only one I can really recall and that's because it played on Nickelodeon also.

SteelyPaladan t1_iybt58x wrote

In my very early years would start the morning with Spartakus and the Sun Beneath The Sea, followed by Count Duckula. Later on in my years my mornings began with Beakman's World and SWAT Kats .

Mid mornings would consist of The Real Ghostbusters, Winnie The Pooh, Loony Toons, or other various and sundry articles.

I also remember a made for TV cartoon movie of Prince Valiant that I never got to see the end of because I had to go to the posy office with my mom.

Eventually the cartoons would end and my grandparents would watch The Mclaughlin Group, a show where old people shouted at each other about politics.

dmun t1_iybtq7g wrote

The BEST CBS cartoons. I'm talking Denver the Last Dinosaur, The Snorks and the Smurfs-- or the NEW Smurfs.

Then you got your Bobby's World, your Xmen. Muppet Babies. Recess.

The world was our oyster before Super Sentai like Power Rangers and Beetle Borgs ruined everything.

Snorks and Smurfs were NBC. I think Bobby's World and X-Men were both Fox, but I could be wrong about that.

I’d watch shows like TMNT, Garfield and Friends, CBS Storybreak and then would watch the Saved by the Bell/California Dreams/NBA Inside Stuff/Saturday Morning Videos block. I think this was before Fox had cartoons on Saturday morning.

For years I would get up by 6:30 to watch Robotech. Then there would be a long break of not much interesting. When I was younger I know I liked Muppet Babies, then as I got older I would check out the Tick.

It's been 40 years at least since I watched some of them, but here is a partial list:

  • Transformers
  • Thundercats
  • GI Joe
  • He-Man
  • The Flintstones
  • The Jetsons
  • Scooby Doo
  • JEM
  • DuckTales
  • Gummy Bears

I dont remember if all of these were on Saturday. I remember a show called "Wait till your father gets home" that aired during the week, because it came on right before my father came home.
