I'm not normally a "kids these days" kind of person, but seriously, kids these days will never know the pure, unfiltered anticipation and joy of Saturday Morning Cartoons.

We got one sweet half-day to rule the TV and just veg TF out watching some of the best cartoons to ever exist.

OG TMNT.
Transformers G1.
Garfield and Friends.
fricking Tale Spin.
OG Duck Tales.

frick. I'd give up everything to go back to that time.

That was probably my first introduction to intellectual property rights and licensing, at age 10.

I got you, baw. TranzorZ made my list.

While not a cartoon, Space Giants as popularized by TBS back in the day was another Japanese import that until the last decade or so, I was convinced I'd entirely concocted in my own mind, since it seemed that no one ever remembered it when I brought it up.

Oh yeah for sure, but X-Men, Spider-Man, DBZ, and Gundam Wing came later and were weekday afternoons after school.

Fox Kids and Toonami had those weekdays on lock.

Was that V-Force or something like that? I'm trying to remember without looking it up. That and the OG Speed Racer came on in an Anime block somewhere...likely Catroon Network, but they weren't a part of Toonami that I remember.

Looked it up...G-Force. I was close!
