Saturday Morning and After School Cartoons

[Surge]

Only if you count Nickelodeon's Doug. When Disney got their hands on it, they shit all over it.

Definitely the original.

Rocko’s modern life. He worked for a fucking sex hotline, man.

What do kids watch on Saturday mornings now? It's all politics and depressing animal rescue shows

Are there cartoons now?

I was under the impression that there isn't, or at least not in the form we knew.

There are channels which show nothing but animation like Cartoon Network. Streaming and youtube has also put cartoons into a "whenever you want" status, plus most families have multiple screens.

However, when we were kids, Saturday mornings and that hour right after school were special. It was the only time kids had their say for that family television. It was just different.

So I recently learned we can thank Reagan for deregulating the cartoon standards for advertising that led to toys turned shows like Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man etc.

And that the reason we lost many of those types of shows was the re-regulation of commercial properties are shows in 1990.

Does anyone remember the Hulk Hogan cartoon?

And Dungeons and Dragons? That one was later removed from the air thanks to the Satanic Cult craze of the late 80s. What a bunch of bunk.*


*Hail Satan.

Loved a lot of the cartoons mentioned in here. Only one I feel obligated to add is Street Sharks

Hulk Hogan's Rock'n Wrestling and the DND series. Another 2 cartoons on my Plex server. When I count just my action cartoons (80s/90s/early 2000s) it's 132 series. I have a media hoarding problem. 20 TBs and growing.

There was a solid afternoon block of Talespin, Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers, and Duck Tales. I believe all on Disney+ now.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Can't believe no one has mentioned one of the greatest cartoons of all time...Batman: The Animated Series.

One of the few kids shows that holds up when you're an adult.

Thought it was time to dust off this archaic thread and bring it back from the brink of extinction in honor of Netflix rebooting the our beloved autobot/decepticon endless war. This time it will be the video game War for Cybertron that is being adapted. Gotta admit, I always get pumped for my generation X adaptations. I do miss the 80s often, but not enough to go back to them

 

[Hurl Bruce]

My daughter mostly watches Netflix cartoons. There's actually a lot of good stuff on there.

• Dungeons and Dragons
• Smurfs
• Gummy Bears
• He-Man
• GI Joe
