One Saturday Mornings lineup ran through the early 2000s. Doug and Recess were the two I remember.

Cable and independent TV stations continued airing cartoons on syndication or as original series on Nickelodeon. Also Fox continued having cartoons till the early 2000’s. They even had a M-F children’s cartoon block that some affiliates aired or let other stations in the market air depending on news output since the newer VHF affiliates coming on after the NFL switch had early morning newscasts. The WB also ran some original cartoons like Pinky and the Brain and a few others.

What killed the cartoons on networks were new FCC requirements on children’s programming that needed to be more educational and informative and commercial limits on number of spots and targeting to children. One program that rose from this was Bill Nye the “crooked” Science Guy.
