Oh I miss the 80s cartoons & a bunch from the 70s too. I so miss Saturday morning cartoons. I remember when I was a kid I would get up every Saturday morning at like 6 or 7am & watch cartoons all morning till like 11 or noon. That was so cool to have all those cartoons on. How times have changed. Now your lucky to find any cartoons on Saturday mornings.

Hi there. This is James Gilks (owner of extrararedvd.com, serialkillercalendar.com and madhatterdesign.net). I am contacting collectors of old video footage to see if they have any Saturday Morning Preview specials on VHS or DVD. If you have any I would love to buy them from you or trade with you. I currently have several but I am looking for more. You can view my rare DVDs at http://www.ioffer.com/users/bloodyraredvds. If you have any of these I would be happy to pay you quite a lot for them or trade you many of my DVDs (with cover art) for them.

Right now I own

The 1983 CBS Saturday Morning Preview
The 1983 ABC Saturday Morning Preview
The 1985 CBS Saturday Morning Preview

I agree. Even when I was in my teens in the 80's I would watch cartoons on Saturday mornings with my little brother (he's in his 30's now!). Back then Saturday mornings and cartoons were synonomus! I also loved the cartoons that would come on after school around 3pm.

I do!

I lived through cartoons in the 80's and 90's, they had a lot of charisma and not only they showed new cartoons, but they showed the classics such as Bugs Bunny and Yogi Bear. Even the Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network Cartoons in the 90's had class (Not much, but by today's standards they are).

It was 2000's when cartoons officially sold-out!

I grew up on Popeye, the Flinstones, the Jetsons, Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner, Hanna-Barbera, etc. Every Saturday morning it was me and my brothers with our blankets and bowls of cereal.

If you want to check out a cool old cartoon, get Jonny Quest. It was only one season, but everyone I knew loved it and watched it.

Boomerang is a decent classic cartoon channel- they play a wide range of 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's shows

I agree. We had Toon Disney and I wish the Walt Disney Corporation could make a Vault Disney Channel with classic Disney Shows as well as the cartoons we've seen on Toon Disney.

And I wish NickRewind becomes a station. That's why TV Shouldn't sell-out! There's still an audience for the classics rather than the reality shows!

Wlll, with ALL due respect to most here

THESE are the classics, froim the 50s and early 60s
Rocky and Bullwinkle

Ruff and Reddy

THe original Alvin the Chipmunk [not the PC remake of the eitghies], Beany and Cecil, and to stretch to stop motion, Gumby [for the original series, rather than 80s remakes]

Most early HB and WB cartoons [again, not the politically correct remakes of later]

Linus the Lionhearted, which goes against my disdain against "sponsor selling" programs which most of those you mention were, as it was cereal [Post] sponsored, but it was an actual cartoon, using those who were just mascots, not toys.[Save for Sugar Bear you need to be a certain generation to know this show, 1964 to 1969]


Earliest Flinstones

King Leonardo and odie

King Leonardo and odie

I totally agree with your choices. Rocky & His Friends, Ruff &
Reddy, The Alvin Show, Linus the Lionhearted, The Bugs Bunny Show, The Flintstones, and
King Leonardo & His Short Subjects were all classic shows.

Other personal favorites from the late '50s and early '60s: Huckleberry
Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Yogi Bear, Deputy Dawg, Top Cat, The Jetsons, Casper, Jonny Quest, Tennessee Tuxedo, Underdog and The Beatles cartoons.

I really don't miss that much. I grew up in the early nineties and was a teenager from 1997-2004, but I have no desire for Nickelodeon or Disney Channel to go back to what they once were. That's really what seperates me from my peers, I really just have no desire to relive the shows I watched as a kid because they were repeated to death when they aired. That's sort of the curse of growing up in the era of cable television, you saw stuff a lot.

I really have to disagree with my peers when they say they dislike Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez. So they weren't on the Disney Channel when we were teenagers, so what? It's not like they're tainting your childhood.

Saturday morning wasn't just a time in my life, it was a part of it. I remember sleeping over at friends houses, then getting up and watching the Sat. Morning lineups, then spending the rest of the day playing outside, going on adventures, or simply playing with our GI Joes/Transformers/Mask toys in the backyard. Saturday morning cartoons were a slice of those cherished weekends as a kid. I have a decent size collection of cartoon blocks with commercials from the 80s, and I cherish them all. It's like stepping into a time machine to the best times of my life.
As for the older cartoons, I LOVED Rocky and Bulwinkle, the Pink PAnther, the Jetsons, Flintstones and Fat Albert when they used to show Reruns in the 80's. In fact, my son now loves watching Tom and Jerry and Wacky Races on Boomerang, and he's been getting into some of the other older stuff too. He's totally abandoned the cartoons he used to watch (Spongebob, Fairly Odd PArents, stuff like that). Guess that says something about the classics!
