Yes. A bygone era where damn near everyone had a cartoon.
So FANs what were your faves? Dislikes? Weekday shows are welcomed as well!

And the moment in which Jaleel White gave millions of kids across the country years of emotional trauma.

Thank you Hulu for bringing back some memories. I'll even go watch 80's commercials every now and again to reminisce. I really miss Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and the Three Stooges not being widely available on TV. |

Stuff I remember from Saturday mornings:
The Far Out Space Nuts - BobDenver and Chuck McCann were two NASA janitors who got accidentally launched into space. They fly from planet to planet and get into crazy adventures.
The Lost Saucer - Ruth Buzzi and Jim Nabors were two alien androids who pick up two human children in their flying saucer. They fly from planet to planet and get into crazy adventures.
The Secret Life of Waldo Kitty - whenever Waldo Kitty got into trouble, he would daydream about about a similar (but much more exciting) situation that he had solved in the past. The main story was live action with trained cats. The daydreams were cartoons.
The Wacky Races - a bunch of teams using bizarre race cars compete to win a race. Dick Dastardly and Muttley made it worth watching.

Before we had cable (how many of you can say that?), we had one good TV channel (the local CBC station) and one channel we could watch if we put up with static (CFRN, a CTV station from Edmonton, AB, the nearest city). The static-y one had a Saturday morning kids variety show that brought in kids for an audience, played games and ran short cartoons like Roger Ramjet, Super Chicken and The Mighty Heroes. The host for the show was also the station's evening sportscaster.
CFRN-TV also ran Stampede Wrestling, Space: 1999 and Six Million Dollar Man episodes in the afternoon.
A couple of years later, we got cable and the same sportscaster moved to an independent station called ITV in Edmonton, and he hosted the Saturday afternoon cartoon block, which had The Mighty Hercules, Rocket Robin Hood, the 60's Spider-Man (including the episodes with the swiped Rocket Robin Hood episodes), and early Astro Boy.
(The CBC had educational shows and sports on Saturday morning... but on Saturday night they used to play unedited Monty Python)

Oh man I have such good memories of this era. From Transformers and GI Joe to Sonic and Reboot and Project GKR to Xmen and The Tick.
Saturday morning cartoons are well and truly a bygone era. I'm glad I was able to experience it.

"I remember all the best cartoons were on at 8 am." I remember getting bitched out by my mom because I tried to turn the TV on before ten on a Saturday. All the good stuff went off before then. It was also hard trying to change channels real quick and quite at the same time.

Damn Road Rovers was underrated. Superhero dogs should easily be a marketing juggernaut. |

Space Cats had the greatest intro of all time, and it's so hard to find a good quality video of it.
Had muppets, crazy floating heads and an epic song. Good times.
