I saved newspaper TV sections from most of the 1990s. Here's what was on broadcast network TV on Saturday, April 15, 1995:

ABC CBS FOX NBC PBS
6:00 Cro The New Adventures of Mother Goose Bullwinkle Name Your Adventure
6:30 Fudge Bullwinkle State Newsmakers
7:00 The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures G.I. Joe Today Sesame Street
7:30 Beakman's World The Baby Huey Show
8:00 Sonic the Hedgehog The Little Mermaid Animaniacs Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
8:30 Free Willy Beethoven Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Barney & Friends
9:00 Tales from the Cryptkeeper Aladdin Eek!stravaganza News Sesame Street
9:30 Reboot Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Adventures of Batman & Robin Martha Stewart Living
10:00 The New Adventures of Captain Planet Iron Man Spider-Man California Dreams To the Contrary
10:30 Paid Programming Fantastic Four The Tick Saved by the Bell: The New Class Firing Line
11:00 Paid Programming Gladiators 2000 X-Men Saved by the Bell: The New Class Washington Week in Review
11:30 Paid Programming Mutant League Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? Sweet Valley High Wall $treet Week

I assume that where there is no listing, that half hour is a continuation of the previous half hour's programming, except at 6 am, in which case I assume that station was off the air.

The golden age of television.

[–] PacMan@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You should publish that all to a database online

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

@a_g_marut@lemmy.world this already on Archive.org ? Good work preservationist!

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That 9:30 am slot is the real tricky one. Reboot, TMNT, or Batman?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Martha Stewart Living, of course.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 days ago (3 children)

In case anyone isn't aware, there's a big project to remaster/restore Reboot at the highest quality possible. They have multiple master tape copies for every episode, and for a ton of promo material, ads, etc. Huge, technically deep, and amazing project. The first few episodes are already out on youtube, but they also just released a documentary about the whole process.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

So... They are going to reboot it?

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I have the whole show on my brain

Get me a neuralizer and I can dump 6K footage to disk :>

Batman TAS is unbelievably good. Gets a little better every time I rewatch it.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Kevin Conroy will always be the voice of Batman.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 22 points 2 days ago

I love that show so much. So much care went into it. The deatails and everything. I read that they used black paker and inked to bright part, to give it that distinct look. Very complicated and or expensive.

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

There were so many commercials!!!

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Still less than youtube, and they were predictable and child be written around

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How else were we supposed to remember the toy store existed?

Tbf we have AI generated mobile game ads now.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I remember a lot of them because most were on Fox Kids in the Netherlands but I didn't have Cartoon Network so I missed some of those shows.

I also remember watching Walking With Dinosaurs as a kid. Than you also had the two Superman shows: Superman The Animated Series and Lois & Clark: The new adventures of Superman.

And as a kid I really enjoyed Star Trek Voyager.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It’s funny how I think cartoons from 10 years before are too old, and cartoons from 10 years after are too new, and everyone else experiences some variation of that depending on when they were born, and that all I’m left with is the feeling of time slipping away from me, like I was wrestling a greased up seal in a tub of oil

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Seriously, the silent cartoons were kinda boring, and once they added color it gave me a headache.

Betty Boop was peak 'toon.

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Counter-point - Bugs Bunny and the Looney Toons in general were peak cartoon. It was old even when I was a kid (32 now) but I loved it as a kid and I still love it now. Timeless humor.

As someone who started watching Saturday morning cartoons in the 1960's, I can definitely say the mid 90's was peak cartoon.

X-Men '97 continues where X-Men left off. Worth a watch.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For a decade that 8am to 12pm slot on Saturdays was back to back gold.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I used to get up early on Saturdays rather than sleeping in so that I could watch cartoons.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Up until 4am playing Nintendo, up at 8:45 already late for cartoons. 10/10, would be child again.

[–] Chaotic_Altruist@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 days ago

Sabrina was on Friday nights though, so I get why she'd be freaked out to still exist on Saturday morning

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Fun fact Saturday morning cartoons took a nose dive when regulations on advertising to children started getting tighter.

Most of these cartoons/series were developed or funded by toy companies

Is anybody else of the opinion, that only Power Rangers are unwatchable now? The rest holds up.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, they were also unwatchable then

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

I was one of the few kids in my 3rd grade class that hated Power Rangers. Was so cheesy.

Then again that's when I started watching cynical shows like Beavis & Butthead, Ren & Stimpy, In Living Color.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 days ago

The power rangers theme song slaps though

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

The first two seasons are evergreen (because of the Zyuranger and Dairanger footage).

It was diminishing returns from then on.

And those are the facts

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not to mention Sabrina the Teenage Witch!

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

I used to enjoy "Clarissa Explains it All."

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Wait, TMNT was still on in the ’90s?

[–] phar@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It ran for ten seasons my dude. The majority of its run was in the 90s

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

TIL

Cowabunga!

I'm still angry at Power Rangers for taking over Sonic the Hedgehog's Saturday morning timeslot. That show was infinitely better than Power Rangers.
