I can remember waking up early to watch the magic school bus around 2nd / 3rd grade. That’s the only show I can really remember watching besides Cartoon Network/looney toons.

My mainstays on Saturday mornings were Scooby-Doo, Superfriends, and Laff-a-Lympics.

After school (and a couple years later) I lived on a steady diet of Star Blazers, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and He-Man.

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

It took over 20 years before anybody matched Challenge of the Superfriends, in terms of superhero cartoons.

Too many to list. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s during the golden age of cartoons. When they were still good.

Only had access to over-the-air ABC and PBS growing up, so weekday morning cartoons weren’t a thing for me.

We did get Saturday morning cartoons on ABC though, which over the course of the 90s included titles like:

  • Recess
  • Pepperann
  • Doug
  • Captain Planet
  • Addams Family
  • Free Willy
  • Sonic
  • ReBoot
  • The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show
  • Goof Troop
  • Darkwing Duck

I did not watch really many shows in the morning. For me, these were the top:

Power Rangers
Doug
Rocko’s Modern Life
Animaniacs
Batman Animated Series
Magic School Bus
Captain Planet
Sonic
and DBZ on Cartoon Network.

Was Freakazoid its own show?

It was a short run, but I loved watching Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot. Otherwise, I really enjoyed Transformers and Power Rangers. (Although there weren’t many cartoons that I didn’t like, now that I think about it…)

My childhood was in the 1960s and 70s. Saturday mornings for me was Scooby Doo, Bugs Bunny Roadrunner show, Jetsons, and Fat Albert. I watched the Star Trek cartoon and Superfriends sometimes also. Then at noon, American Bandstand and Soul Train!

There were also a few live action shows like Shazam and Isis. If I got up early enough, there was Ultraman, a Japanese show dubbed in English about a superhero that battled Godzilla-type monsters. He was an ordinary guy with this special pen in his shirt pocket. He would hold it up and push a button and became 60 feet tall! Good stuff!

Remember when there would be a preview on tv of all the new cartoons every autumn? I think it was on Friday night before the premiere the following Saturday. I always looked forward to that. Channels like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon would have been a dream come true for me as a kid. But then I probably wouldn’t have the fond memories of Saturday mornings that I have now.
