Future generations will never know the joys.

Except with cable, netflix, hulu, youtube, amazon, google play, and many others, they do know the joys.

It is NOT the same.

Having your own, limited, appointment cartoon time, I'm talkin' kid-only time, and catching these cartoons fresh off the board, is what made it all so special.

Anyone can point and click.

I'm sorry you skipped childhood.

Either that or you are just too young to have experienced The Snorks, SuperFriends, Mr. T., and Captain Caveman hot off the Press.

Yes, please send me back to the day when I only had 5 channels to choose from. Those days were wonderful.

There was a collective awesomeness to it that is hard to describe.

I always got ticked that they kept messing with the Superfriends every year. Just keep the damn Wonder Twins off it! It's fine!

Also, the Spiderman & Friends Hour had too much Fantastic Four in it.

And speaking of during the week, if you want to mourn a loss of children's programming, mourn the loss of the after-school block. Power Rangers, Animaniacs, X-Men, Batman & Robin (though I never liked that one and used that time to do homework), that was where was at for us '90s kids. I don't know if it happened abruptly or gradually, but one day I put on channel 32 to see what the kids were watching these days and it was just reruns of COPS.

Because everything is on the internet, there's a blog listing the Fox Kids lineups, but they don't look right to me. To wit:



Power Rangers was never on in the mornings in Chicago, at least not in 1993-1995 when I watched it. It was always right after school.

3:30 to 4:30 seems right to me.

I also hate having a dvr where I can fast forward through commercials and have a wide variety of programming ready for me whenever I want.

Why can't we go back to a less convenient time because IT WAS BETTER!

Animaniacs is on no, I forget what channel. My daughter loves it.

I watched Gummi Bears, Top Cat, Scooby, Bugs Bunny, MC Hammer, Teen Wolf, Muppet Babies and there were a couple song or video shows I liked.

I hate land of the lost.

I think Animaniacs is on Hub (The channel not Arkush)

My brother and I watched Pee Wee's Playhouse from 8:00-8:30, and then it was off to bowling, which started at 9:00.

Also, the Spiderman & Friends Hour had too much Fantastic Four in it.

This was just last week, right?

My Saturday morning cartoons on Fox were X-Men, The Tick, and I don't remember much else. I think there was also a cartoon called "Dog City" where dogs went around solving mysteries. No, not like Scooby-Doo. This was more film-noir. Channel 32 also ran a Mega Man cartoon later in the morning that I would watch faithfully before swimming lessons. Good times, good times.

Never was a big fan of the darker, moodier, Sonic the Hedgehog that was on ABC. I liked the cheerier version that was on channel 50 during the week.

Bingo! That after school block was awesome. I think I used saturday mornings to play video games without my parents bitching about spending too much time inside.
