Bugs was on HBO max... Not sure if they still are.

The next generation is going to have HUGE nostalgia for the Cartoon Network (Adult swim). The leap from cable to streaming is going to kill it.

Along with a lack of new talent in writing and creativity.

My kids used to bitch about the overdose of Teen Titans GO.

After that show....no more hits.

Before that, CNs run was as strong as Pixar. Maybe stronger.


Gimme Courage and Dexter...

I'm still pissed about Bugs and the guys. Even as I became an adult I would watch him, the Road Runner, Wile E. Sylvester, Tweety, Daffy,Elmer Fudd, and of course Pepe LePew. It just didn't get any better.

Scooby-Doo I could take every now and then.

As a kid Super Friends was the in thing.

Blue Falcon and Dyno Mutt was good for a few years

Space Ghost......I liked him better when he got his talk show

Fat Albert.....a bit too preachy

But Bugs was strictly comedy unapologetic, raw, politically incorrect comedy

Boom -298 on DirectTV has lots of older cartoons.

Flintstones, Jetsons, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry………

Unfortunately they don’t have Space Ghost or Bugs Bunny.

Oh yeah. The Tom and Jerry universe was great. Droopy and Chili Willi to name few.

Woody Woodpecker was such a troublemaker

Heckle and Jeckle were comic geniuses

The GOAT.

Me and my boys watched these when they were little and they’re timeless.

And Foghorn Leghorn is a close 2nd.

Where can I watch Bug Bunny cartoons now?
Warner Brothers needs to let that be viewed


Check out the Boomerang app. It also has every single Scooby Doo ever made. During the 2020 lockdowns with a 5yo it saved my sanity.

I figured it really died when Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon became widespread.

You could now watch cartoons anytime. And because of that Saturday mornings weren’t necessary.

Pretty sure I watched Saturday morning cartoons through the 90s


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