Along with the Super Mario Bros show. Nintendo was magical to me. Every game was a whole new world to explore and seeing a cartoon with those characters was exciting.

The 90s Spider-Man was great, too.
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was a favorite of mine.

I liked so many. These stand out.
Tarzan - Lord of the Jungle. "Bo mongani!"
Thundar The Barbarian. I kinda think Thundar was gay. Ariel was throwing herself at him weekly.
Looney Tunes.
Wacky races

#1 Looney Tunes
#2 Laff-Olympics
#3 The Justice League
These were the best Saturday Cartoons. Johnny Quest was also great but was on at about 6AM right before Rocky & Bullwinkle. That's pretty early to start the Saturday morning cartoon marathon. Scooby Doo is up there as one of the all time great toons but that was not on Saturday mornings where I lived, M-F after school.
Other notable cartoons not necessarily Saturday morning cartoons:
Fat Albert
Tom & Jerry
Yogi Bear
Richie Rich
Inspector Gadget
Thundar the Babarian
He-Man
Thundercats
GI Joe
The Smurfs
I grew up during that transition from network to cable TV. It used to be Saturday mornings meant something for cartoons. You'd get up early as a kid and binge watched until noon when the ABC Saturday Morning Special came on or an episode of The Littles. Other than Saturdays you only had about an hour after school of Woody Woodpecker, Scooby Doo, and then reruns of the Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island. Cable changed all that.
Now cartoons are available 24-7 for kids. The anticipation of Saturday mornings are gone for kids these days. it was like having 52 Christmases a year waiting for the weekend. I actually feel bad for today's kids. They have everything yet don't know what they are missing.

I was the same way. Mon - Fri was school and playing outside afterwards till dark. Sunday's was Mid-South wrestling and football. But Saturday morning's was for cartoons! I remember at the beginning of each new season, each network would have a 1 hour pre-view of the new cartoons on the Friday night before the season premieres.
I watched anything superhero, fantasy, sci-fi or comic based. Plus the regulars....Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, etc

I remember the 1 hour preview shows too. The hype that surrounded that was incredible in the kid world. You had to watch it, then immediately had to go outside and confer with the neighborhood kids about which shows were going to be good and which ones were going to suck or were for girls (which meant they sucked as well).
Also there was the anticipation as to which of your favorite cartoons weren't going to be in the lineup for the new season. A true disappointing, WTF moment for a kid.

Yea dude. I remember my childhood world came crashing down when they cancelled Challenge of the Super Friends. I was bummed out for weeks
I didn't see these mentioned, but the Cartoon Networks Cartoon Cartoon Friday had pretty damn good cartoons from the mid 90s to early 2000s.
Dexter's Lab
Powerpuff Girls
Ed Edd and Eddy
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Samari Jack

Bugs Bunny.
One of the locals used to show Rocky and Bullwinkle like at 6 AM or so during the week before school. I'd watch it.

Don't know if the OP knew this when he made this thread but Saturday Morning Cartoons officially died this past weekend
quote:
Over the weekend, The CW’s Vortexx programming block (which included episodes of Cubix, Sonic X, Dragon Ball Z and Kai, Digimon Fusion, Yu-Gi-Oh! and more) aired for the last time. Next week The CW will replace the animation with “One Magnificent Morning”, a live-action television block filled with educational shows for kids. This is officially the end of broadcast television’s Saturday Morning Cartoons, as it has been known since the 1960s.
