Holy moly, someone that still remembers Bobby’s World and Life with Louie!
I couldn’t watch many of these because I had Saturday school :(
I’m so happy to see “Life with Louie” included in this meme. I loved that show as kid, but it seems like it’s been lost amid nostalgia for better shows from the era. It was still pretty fuckin’ good and deserves to be remembered, though.
TMNT, Batman TAS, and DuckTales (woo-oo!) for me! I used to set my alarm!
I preferred tail spin to duck tails, but either way both themes slapped.
The tailspin video game was one of my favorites
I’mstill amazed Tailspin existed. Retrofuturism with sky pirates and the cast of the Jungle Book. It’s an insane, awesome concept.
If you haven’t watched it, the 2017 Ducktales reboot is better than the original imo.
If you think there’s anything with David Tennant in it that I haven’t watched…
Woo-ooo!
The Wild Thornberries, Hey Arnold, Doug, Aaahh!! Real Monsters… didn’t know how good I had it.
Ren & Stimpy and Pete & Pete
Pete & Pete! I think about that show every time I see/hear the word riboflavin
For me it’s when I hear the name Martin van Buren
Johnny Bravo
I was that weird kid who liked Bobby’s World the most.
it was digimon for a while in MS/hs
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.
Life with Louie was pretty good. I grew up in WI and the packer references were fire. Lol
Tailspin! Ja ja ja!
thinking about telekaddi - seeing all those childhood series

Now do another one for 2005.
I’m pretty sure that Saturday morning cartoons had been nuked by then. Only holdouts I think were Fox affiliates and Nickelodeon.
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.
I could watch Dragon Ball and MegaMan super early in the morning too.
The Tick!!! That cartoon was ridiculously funny.
The 2001 live action show was enjoyable too. The more recent amazon reboot wasn’t bad either. Actually got two seasons and an arc.
The only thing I really remember from the Amazon reboot(almost a decade ago) was how put off I was about the rampant Amazon Echo product placement. Pretty sure I only watched the first season.
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.
I enjoyed the more recent one over the 2001. They both came out on Netflix recently.
Serafinovicz is so good as Tick.
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.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anything with Warburton in it that I didn’t like.
Then you’re very unlikely to enjoy his stand-up
Rough.
I never knew he did standup. Had to look it up. Dear god this is the truest comment I’ve ever seen on Lemmy.
