    Batman TAS is unbelievably good. Gets a little better every time I rewatch it.

      I love that show so much. So much care went into it. The deatails and everything. I read that they used black paker and inked to bright part, to give it that distinct look. Very complicated and or expensive.

      Kevin Conroy will always be the voice of Batman.

    I saved newspaper TV sections from most of the 1990s. Here’s what was on broadcast network TV on Saturday, April 15, 1995:

    ABC CBS FOX NBC PBS
    6:00 Cro The New Adventures of Mother Goose Bullwinkle Name Your Adventure
    6:30 Fudge Bullwinkle State Newsmakers
    7:00 The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures G.I. Joe Today Sesame Street
    7:30 Beakman’s World The Baby Huey Show
    8:00 Sonic the Hedgehog The Little Mermaid Animaniacs Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
    8:30 Free Willy Beethoven Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Barney & Friends
    9:00 Tales from the Cryptkeeper Aladdin Eek!stravaganza News Sesame Street
    9:30 Reboot Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Adventures of Batman & Robin Martha Stewart Living
    10:00 The New Adventures of Captain Planet Iron Man Spider-Man California Dreams To the Contrary
    10:30 Paid Programming Fantastic Four The Tick Saved by the Bell: The New Class Firing Line
    11:00 Paid Programming Gladiators 2000 X-Men Saved by the Bell: The New Class Washington Week in Review
    11:30 Paid Programming Mutant League Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? Sweet Valley High Wall $treet Week

    I assume that where there is no listing, that half hour is a continuation of the previous half hour’s programming, except at 6 am, in which case I assume that station was off the air.

      That 9:30 am slot is the real tricky one. Reboot, TMNT, or Batman?

        In case anyone isn’t aware, there’s a big project to remaster/restore Reboot at the highest quality possible. They have multiple master tape copies for every episode, and for a ton of promo material, ads, etc. Huge, technically deep, and amazing project. The first few episodes are already out on youtube, but they also just released a documentary about the whole process.

    As someone who started watching Saturday morning cartoons in the 1960’s, I can definitely say the mid 90’s was peak cartoon.

    For a decade that 8am to 12pm slot on Saturdays was back to back gold.

    source
    • EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I used to get up early on Saturdays rather than sleeping in so that I could watch cartoons.

      source
      • GreenShimada@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Up until 4am playing Nintendo, up at 8:45 already late for cartoons. 10/10, would be child again.

    Sabrina was on Friday nights though, so I get why she’d be freaked out to still exist on Saturday morning

    Is anybody else of the opinion, that only Power Rangers are unwatchable now? The rest holds up.

    source
    • SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      No, they were also unwatchable then

      source
      • RaoulDuke85@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I was one of the few kids in my 3rd grade class that hated Power Rangers. Was so cheesy.

        Then again that’s when I started watching cynical shows like Beavis & Butthead, Ren & Stimpy, In Living Color.

      The power rangers theme song slaps though

      The first two seasons are evergreen (because of the Zyuranger and Dairanger footage).

      It was diminishing returns from then on.

    Fun fact Saturday morning cartoons took a nose dive when regulations on advertising to children started getting tighter.

    Most of these cartoons/series were developed or funded by toy companies

    source
    • LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I wonder if it started that way at first. Did TMNT get developed because of toy companies or was just just a mutually lucrative venture? Did it start earlier? Like Lone Ranger and Buck Rodgers type stuff? Interesting to think about for me.

      source
      • ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Did TMNT get developed because of toy companies…

        TMNT was a comic book series in the 80s, long before the first movie and the cartoons that followed.

    I’m still angry at Power Rangers for taking over Sonic the Hedgehog’s Saturday morning timeslot. That show was infinitely better than Power Rangers.

      I think that was originally on Saturday nights. I remember my dad letting me stay up to watch it because he secretly really loved the show.

      Did you watch Recess? Nobody else mentioned it so I’m starting to think it might be Canadian. Uh oh! and Reboot too.

    I tried to relive some of my childhood by downloading some older cartoons, like Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck. They are not as good as I remember :(

    source
    • EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I don’t think it’s the cartoons being “not as good”, rather it’s that they aren’t geared towards adults.

      source
      • jaybone@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Obviously. But I feel like they would have scratched some nostalgia itch.

      I rewatched some Tiny Toons episodes a while back, and thought that overall they held up well, ignoring the dated references. Animaniacs held up better, but the references still show their age.

      source
  • fenrasulfr@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I remember a lot of them because most were on Fox Kids in the Netherlands but I didn’t have Cartoon Network so I missed some of those shows.

    I also remember watching Walking With Dinosaurs as a kid. Than you also had the two Superman shows: Superman The Animated Series and Lois & Clark: The new adventures of Superman.

    And as a kid I really enjoyed Star Trek Voyager.

  • ramenshaman@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I remember back in first grade being able to watch Power Rangers when I got home. On Thursdays we would get out early and I could watch Bobby’s World right before. Those were simpler times.

    source
    • boonhet@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Cartoons only happened in the morning here. In the mid 00s I’d get home from school and watch 2.5 men lol. A-team sometime before that. At some point it was Knight Rider too. Only had like 2 or 3 channels growing up.

      source
  • obinice@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Assuming your family had the money to pay for the fancy TV channels that got these shows, otherwise good luck it’s just the 4 regular terrestrial channels and reruns of Thunderbirds and Danger Mouse xD

    source
    • Vegan_Joe@piefed.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      All of these came on basic airwave stations in my area. (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, UPN, WB, PBS, etc.,).

      It wasn’t until later that they were syndicated and played on cable TV.

      source

      We didn’t have money, just one of those antennas and if you move it just right you could get YTV in somewhat decent quality.

      I also overthought it I guess. In reality, it’s somewhat reminiscent of other porn-based memes, that’s why.
