re: What happened to Saturday morning cartoons?

Hang Time,

Is this the show where the girl played on the men's basketball team? That show was stupid. I didn't know if the HS had a girls team or not, but I assumed they did and I thought that there was no way she was so good that she had to play on the boys team.

And if she was that good then she would dominate playing with the girls and could get a scholarship to go play pretty much anywhere, but playing with the boys she wouldn't have the type of stats that bounce off the page.

This was my train of thought at like 12-13 years old.

What about Hanging With Mr. Cooper? Didn't that come on Saturday mornings?

The good cartoons used to come on during the week when you got home from school. GI Joe, He-Man, etc...

But cartoons had a limited viewer base.. Kids. So I guess they air shows that would capture the interest of a bigger pool of people.

But why do parents want their kids to watch what they watched as a kid? I can see showing it to them once or twice, but I dont understand parents who want their kids to grow up as they did and not let them have their own thing.

Boomerang is good for those who have it

With Nick, cartoons were shown all week long. Not just Saturday mornings. My kids would watch SpongeBob every morning before school

Huh? Plenty of great shows came on well after 1990, this thread is just another example of old heads angry because their favorite nostalgia shows aren’t popular anymore.

Foghorn and Dog are the best Looney Tunes rivalry.

Disney Channel plays Saturday morning cartoons but they’re only for black kids. All other kids can frick right off.

kids can watch damn near anyting on demand.

That is one of the reason kids today have no focus, discipline, or attention span.
