Remember back in the days of the 80's and 90's when you could count on good quality, entertaining cartoons that lasted from 8am to noon? Why did these days go away?

Many of these go back to the early-60's and sooner. And I miss them, too.
Two years ago I read somewhere that a Jetsons movie was due this year. Haven't heard a word about it since. I wish they would.

What, like they didn't exist before then? Come to think of it, a few of the ones you showed go back a lot further.

I remember first were the Flintstones and the Jetsons and Scooby Doo on one channel, and then on another there would be Reboot, and Skeleton Warriors, Double Dragon, Beethoven, and though it's not a cartoon, Power Rangers came on Saturday morning as well. Though of them all, Reboot was the only cartoon from the 90s that we saw at that time that I actually liked.

The 80s and 90s were quality cartoons? Au contraire, mon frère...Real quality cartoons only existed in the 1960s and EARLY 1970s...

To clarify/amend my statement about them being more intelligent, I meant there was more to them that adults could find funny too.

I dunno, but I was always eager to get up early on Saturday to catch my cartoons and eat my cereal with ice cold milk. I feel sorry for today's kids.

but i was telling my mom about how the stuff in between the cartoons were filled with learning... and like i said, the "live" shows were educational too.
what kid isnt going to watch a science show with an old man teaching kids about chemical reactions that blow things up??? Mr. wizard was the man!!! lol

Not all cartoons were necessarily meant to be "funny" (ie: GI Joe, Transformers). In my humble opinion, the 80's was the best era for cartoons overall because in addition to the classic 60-70's cartoons that were still running by then, newer comedic cartoons were added in the 80's as well as action cartoons! Most of them had some kind of moral or message at the end of the show as well. I think the 80's provided the most variety of cartoons of any era. The shows at that point in time provided entertainment for younger children, teenagers, and adults. And for the first time there were cartoons that specifically targeted girls (Rainbow Bright, My Little Pony, JEM, She-Ra, etc). I think that I could argue that the 1980's had the most "intelligent" line-up of Saturday morning cartoons of any decade.Alan Smithee wrote:To clarify/amend my statement about them being more intelligent, I meant there was more to them that adults could find funny too.

Do they even still have Saturday morning cartoons? Most of the networks I used to watch on network TV stopped showing 'em.
I grew up during the anime era so I was big on some of that dubbed anime stuff on Saturday mornings. Ah, those were the days.
