Wow, I didn't know, it's a shame too that's what Saturday was all about
@playahaitian you took a brother back, most of these were before my time or I was too young, but caught on syndication, I really liked thundar, cops, Dino riders, gi joe, dungeons and dragons, but it was the 90's joints for me
Mc hammer, kid and play, sonic, tmnt, etc

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. It's always $$$$$$$$$$$.
Wow.
Well, there you go.
X-Men was my favorite Saturday morning cartoon growing in the early 1990's. I remember how it used to come on at 9:30 AM; then it got pushed back to 10:30 AM; next, 11:30 AM.
Finally, that shit didn't come on until afternoon. Being up early in the morning, I remember waiting half my day just to watch it while hanging out with my neighborhood homeboys.
"I catch y'all niggas later. X-Men about come on."
Then, one day, I was flipping through the channels. That shit was gon'.
My favorite show defaulted to the Gargoyles.

Fuck the government for that shit. We went to school for 5 days a week give us our cartoons on Saturday. Bastards!
That's a shame... THE SMURFS WERE THE SHIT back then
I remember watching the Smurfs as a kid

I told a chick she looked like Gargamel. She had no clue what I was talking about.
I would not have my kids watching cartoons anyway. The martial arts would be more of their life.
Word. X-Men then Soul Train at noon followed by the Spanish channel dance show at 1 on mute just so I can see the Mami's
I miss Saturday mornings so much. They would start showing cartoons at 5am in the morning until Bugs Bunny came on at noon.
Even the commercials were good. Had us running to our parents asking for every cereal, fruit snack, and toy they would advertise.
Had to fight with my sisters for control of the TV. We would take turns picking a show every 30 mins. I always made sure I got to see Gummi Bears. That was my shit.
And later on X-Men....couldn't miss that.
Also miss some of these old Saturday morning shows......
Oh the memories

You know it's a damn shame too because while most of those cartoons were 30 minute commercials for toys that we would want to buy and get for Christmas at least they were good I mean now I look at the cartoons that my nephew watches on Disney XD and Nickelodeon and these cartoons of pure crap I mean they're not entertaining they're all trying to push an agenda, I mean really what are they trying to teach our kids

small wonder use to come on at like 2 or 2:30 pm on school days i believe on channel 5...summer vacation and on days off use to always watch that shit
It came on Saturday mornings here
lol...we got saved the bellIt came on Saturday mornings here
That used to come on Saturdays too. Another one of my favorites. Alot of these cartoons and shows went from Sat morning to weekdays after school.
I mean another reason which that video didn't mention is that it's 2017 and kids have about 10 dedicated channels that show nothing but cartoon and kids shows 24 hours a day not just saturday mornings as opposed to only having those major network stations to depend on to see cartoons.
kids don't miss saturday morning cartoons they're like you could only watch cartoons on saturdays? if i wake up at 2m on a thursday i can turn to toon channel teen nick nick jr nick, family channel etc etc etc and watch whatever i want.

It is cool. I really do not know much about info wars but I am an angry black man. And to see blacks watch whites build up all this white power around them and our only desire is to be carbon copies of whites.
I do not have kids but if I did I would probably be fighting with the mother constantly to give the child a chance to be itself instead of a carbon copy of devils. There were natural powers blacks use to have but now they are just creations of whites. What ever we see them do we do. We see them eat poison we eat poison. We see them work to destroy the earth they do it.
My only goal and my whole life is dedicated to total separation. We were forced to go to white schools to learn how to be white. Whites are our enemy by nature. But so are the blacks that worship white.
That info wars video I have not watched it all the way thru because I be so busy every day. I will check it out completely later. I posted it with the comment because they were talking about certain things. What they were talking about we see it also. But in a different way.
man...... 70's Saturday morning cartoons > all other era Saturday morning cartoons (plus non-animated shit like Shazam, Isis, Land of the Lost, Kroft Supershow). As much as I love to sleep, I used to be a pissed off little 7 year old when I overslept and didn't get up until 10:30 and missed half my shit! (Mom! why you ain't wake me up????).
Oh... can't forget Schoolhouse Rock!

Sat. midday/ evenings were a different story..
