Also, which shows were rare: meaning, you looked out for them and felt lucky when you caught them but that you didnt often get to see?
I honestly can’t remember what I used to watch Sat mornings but I do know I was always looking out to catch Kirby Right Back at Ya which was on pretty rarely and sporadically. Was always low-key disappointed when it wasnt on then
Nowadays, I like things like Grim and Evil and Superjail! Wish I could find Duck Dodgers tho
Bobby’s World
Jackie Chan Adventures
Animaniacs
Histeria
Freakazoid
Freakazoid has to be drawn heavily from Robin Williams and his Genie from Aladdin
Jackie Chan Adventures always made my day, the little messages from Jackie at the end of each episode were the height of my week back then
Pee-Wee’s Playhouse!
HAAHA
Thundercats. Teenage mutant ninja turtles. Randomly heathcliffe, Garfield, James Bond jr, captain planet, GI Joe.
Saturday mornings were mostly looney toons and roadrunner type stuff.

I’m sure there’s one or two I’m forgetting but if any of those were on the TV, I was watching it.
Captain N was so weird when you think about it as an adult: Isekai of the week, done as a commercial for video games.
It worked, though, and I loved it too!
I saw reboot, TMNT, and Tex Avery mentioned which were a few good favorites.
A couple of others I haven’t seen mentioned yet would be Wild C.A.T.S. and Street Sharks.
changed as new ones came up. I remember being excited with battle of the planets and isis but later thundar the barbarian seemed way cool. The D&D one especially the bow and eventually the transformers but by that time I was getting the you are too old for cartoons thing. Still not sure at what point I will think im too old.
The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Show, Thundarr the Barbarian, Dungeons and Dragons, Gummi Bears
A man of culture, here. I concur, good sir!
Omg, are you me? Exactly in that order.
You’re just the same age
Someone’s crotchety.
That 90s Tex Avery show. Though, admittedly I think it was a weekday morning show, so probably doesn’t fit…
Its about whatever you watched on sat morning, not how ubiquitous the shows syndication was. Same with rare, its rare for YOU im asking about :)
Classics like Bugs Bunny and Animaniacs were always good. Doug. Pepper Anne.
Ones that most people have forgotten or didn’t know because they weren’t exposed to Canadian shows as a kid:
Science Court was on ABC’s One Saturday Morning and I loved it. Technically a Sunday morning one, but The Smoggies for the Canadian people here that are of a certain age! The Raccoons (another Canadian one)
Samurai Jack. I still enjoy it as an adult (an interesting case study in storytelling using a minimum of voice/narration).
Definitely Road Runner.
As for a rare one, Lost In Space. My spoiled brother had to have Batman, every week.
Wiley coyote and road runner, and Tom a Jerry.
More withing my era, rocket power, CatDog, and other golden age nickelodeon shows.
Loved watching Batman & Pinkie and the Brain. Freakazoid was the rare one.
There was this Peter Pan and the Pirates show I really liked and I never see recognition in the eyes of others when I mention it, but it was on every afternoon as a kid in addition to Sat mornings.
