      I’ve been trying to collect all the 80’s cartoons and make a Saturday morning playlist, it’s VERY slow going.

      90s got Tiny Toons 😭

      That point in history where everything had to have a “baby” version

          I was more a fan of Animaniacs.

          Also wtf. Why did it go from Looney Tunes to Tiny Toons??

          Saw the above and wondered why he spelled it Tunes, cause I thought it was Toons, looked it up, he’s right. Spelled Tiny Tunes above, then saw your comment and said the fuck, looked it up and sure enough. Confusing af.

            It was an attempt to distance themselves a little from the 70’s/80’s cartoons that had a lot more violence, inuendo, and racism. It was a time when were as a society were trying to see if we could do better by the kids. If anything I’m more confused why they called the old ones tunes. They put effort into the musical components back the, but it never seemed like a top billing kind of thing.

    I never saw most of the cartoons, because the shit startet at 6 am and as a child I loved seeping without having a schedule.

    Shhh as long as mom stays asleep she can’t know we’re watching cartoons!

    (Mom knows. Mom just wants to sleep in).

    Fast forward 30 years and my kids are fine launching cartoons on Jellyfin but apparently wake up completely deaf, because my alarm clock all summer has been the 10-tone Teen Titans: Go interstitial at max volume.

    Oh well. Could be worse shows. It is DC Comics longest-running animated show, after all.

    And my kids circadian rhythm is on point. It’s almost the exact same time every day…when the night begins to shine.

    Most of these weren’t even Saturday morning shows for me; they were after school shows that aired during the weekdays.

    Out of this list the only ones that were exclusive to Saturday were Bobby’s World, Life with Louie, TMNT and The Tick.

      The 2001 live action show was enjoyable too. The more recent amazon reboot wasn’t bad either. Actually got two seasons and an arc.

        I enjoyed the more recent one over the 2001. They both came out on Netflix recently.

          The antenna were what sold the 2001 for me. That and Warburton. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything with Warburton in it that I didn’t like. But between him and those damn animatronic antenna. Even though he didn’t have the proper cowl Etc it was still very enjoyable. The fox show was definitely a lot campier and low budget. But that sort of worked for it in a way. While they had a lot of star cameos throughout the short run. Just some of the basic scenarios and situations were hilarious. Like the tick fighting the Red Scare in an elevator while Jimmy Carter watched on. But then I’m also an older viewer so probably your mileage could vary.

          Unfortunately edland didn’t have the full rights to all the characters. So each show is really its own experience. But I think at least some Nostalgia puts the 2001 a little bit out ahead of the Amazon reboot. Even though I could easily recommend it.

        Yeah, but because of the serialised format they had to reset HAL-9000 back to not being crazy at the start of the next episode.

        I was so disappointed in season 2 of the reboot. Season 1 felt like it wrapped up the whole series in one go, and then the writers were surprised when they got renewed.

          Honestly I think within the limitations of live action and the budget. There’s probably only so much they can really do. The cartoon show as long as there was budget to produce the cartoon could do just about anything and get as silly as they wanted. I think they probably really were genuinely surprised when they got a second season. But struggled to really write something worthy of it. It was still enjoyable for what it was though.
