MeTV (everyone should have this channel) has a Bugs Bunny & Friends hour saturdays at 8 am. It’s the good cartoons, not the later versions. Not politically correct all the time.

Can't remember all the cartoons I watched in the 80s, but smurfs was an hour long I think
Saved by the bell was my favorite in the 90s

Watched alot of Tom and Jerry, looney tunes, Heman, WWF, GI Joe and teenage mutant ninja turtles back in the day

Just like 24/7 news, all access all the time dilutes it.

Chick-FIL-a keeping Sundays closed make Mondays taste a little better.

Cartoons are no different.

It's quite frankly insane that there isn't a live stream of old school cartoons on YouTube or something with a big varied selection.

Time to make some money.

The beginning of the end of the Saturday morning cartoon came in 1990 when Congress, in response to the steady pressure on the part of parents and children’s interest groups concerned with the issue of advertising to children, enacted the Children’s Television Act (CTA). It was passed to increase educational and informative (E/I) programming for children and to limit the amount of advertising during children’s shows.

This action, combined with the later U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements that broadcast networks air at least three hours of E/I programming a week, guaranteed the end of Saturday morning cartoons since the vast majority of people dismissed them as non-educational. These requirements were loosely enforced, and increasingly networks substituted live action shows such as Saved by the Bell to address the requirements of children’s programming. 


The government ruined them.

Saturday morning cartoons were a popular form of children's entertainment in the United States and Canada until the 2000s1,2,3. They were gradually replaced by cable TV, which offered cartoons at any time of the day1,4, and by educational and live-action shows that met the government mandates for children's programming2,5. The last network to air Saturday morning cartoons in the US was The CW, which ended its animated lineup in 20142.
