I miss those days when I actually woke up early purposefully to watch Saturday morning cartoons, and came home from school and watched quality cartoons that were on network TV rather than just Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, or the Disney Channel.
This was the time before Disney stars, and computer animation. When all you needed was Sesame Street to learn about life and numbers. It's sad that most of the cartoons I cherish the most aren't even syndicated, because I know that any kid who would watch any of the cartoons that I'm going to list would completely forget about
Wonder Pets and only want to watch my shows.
Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers: This show had it all. Mystery, adventure, travel, cute characters, funny evil-doers, and a girl who kicked ass.
Bobby's World: The show that launched Howie Mandel's career
dontchaknow. Bobby had an amazing imagination, and I watched this show religiously.
Animaniacs: Wacko, Yacko, and Dot, quite possibly the coolest sibling trio on television ever. But it wasn't just these guys. We had: Pinky & the Brain, Buttons & Mindy, and Slappy Squirel. The segmented show was hilarious, and was gone too soon. Warner Brothers really knew their cartoons.
Tiny Toon Adventures: Another great Warner Brothers show that featured younger looking versions of
Looney Tunes characters. Buster and Babs Bunny headed the crew at Acme Looniversity, along with Elmyra Duff, Plucky Duck and Dizzy Devil.
Recess: I was a little bit older when Recess came around, but not too old to watch it. This group of kids, lead by T.J, lived in this great fantasy world where Recess was the real world, complete with a King and that group of ditzy girls called the Amber's
Did you watch any of these cartoons growing up? What were your faves?

The last three.
I also loved AHH! Real Monsters..and Angry Beavers. xD
OMG! I LOVE RECESS! I've actually been watching a lot of older shows on youtube. I miss "the good old days" :(
When I was a kid I liked GI Joe, Transformers, Thundercats, Voltron, and Jem. I remember those shows. I just didn't watch them.
I believe the group of girls on Recess were called 'The Ashleys.' I LOVED Recess, too, by the way! :) Mikey was always my favorite, how he was such a softie for a big guy and he was always so dramatic xD
Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Aaah! Real Monsters, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, As Told by Ginger
Yeah, 90's kid
I remember in the early '90s, FOX would air old cartoons like The Flinstones at 3 a.m.
I have too many favorite cartoons that I wish. Why would you make me choose?!! Oh the humanity. Lol
Oh man those shows were the bomb. My absolute favorite, though, would be Animaniacs. My older brother and I used to watch them together when we were kids, and strangely even though he was growing out of some of the other cartoons by then Animaniacs still captivated the both of us for the entirety of its run on tv.
My sister and I LOVED Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers! We still sing the theme song, haha. Recess was really good, too.
recess! :D
Fuckin' right. My brother and I used to watch Aladdin everyday before school. That show was coo.
I remember one episode of Recess where everyone found out that Spinelli's first name was actually Ashley. Haha! @surveys_fortheteenageesoul@xanga - yup, the Ashleys, not the Ambers.
I miss Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain. I grew up on Beavis & Butthead too, and Ren & Stimpy... I'd probably let my kids watch it. Today's shows, eh... the 90s were way better.
Oh and I watched The Wild Thornberries all the time. That show was dope!
Recess! Gosh I miss the 90's cartoons XD!
My favorite cartoon was and still is Hey Arnold!
I loved Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold, the Angry Beavers, and CatDog hahaha. And Arthur, of course! My favorite episode was when Francine got really angry and imagined her head blowing off hahaha
Me and my friends reminsce every day about old cartoons we used to watch...
RUGRATS HANDS DOWN.
Its the rugrats, bugs under the mat.
Its the rugrats, it the rugrats-rats
I watched all of these plus most of the Nick shows and some Cartoon Network stuff. I rarely ever watched the Disney channel as a kid except for the classic movies.
nostalgia!
ANIMANIACS<3 <3 <3.
BOBBBY'S WORLD! Hahahahaa. Oh man I miss being a kid. Can you still watch any of these online anywhere? I've seen Are you Afraid of the Dark and Rocko's Modern Life on Youtube, but nothing else :(
It was the Ashleys on Recess not the Ambers. I know my cartoons realllllllly well. haha
Oh snap, my bad! LOL. I knew it was the Ashley's, I don't know why I did that. Close enough though.
About Recess, the girls were called the Ashleys
love all of those! also, the ORIGINAL pokemon series, sailor moon, and doug,
@brokensoul42@xanga - POKEMON!!! I miss the original 150..
