Check out this CBS Saturday morning schedule! How great is this?! Bugs Bunny was usually the show I picked to watch - good cartooning, great voices, and although I didn't know it at the time, a great introduction to classical music.
I somehow managed to watch various episodes of most of the other shows too. Not sure if my parents were out or if they were doing yardwork, but I know I saw Shazam, Fat Albert, and Clue Club multiple times. Clue Club was basically Scooby Doo - scared dogs, good looking guy, good looking girl, dorky guy, and smart girl. Of course Scooby Doo was much better. I can't even remember the mysteries the Clue Club solved.

I had the same TV viewing rules that you did. And yes, I managed to sneak in a little extra, ha.
God, what I wouldn't give to have those cartoons back. I try to find something for my kids to watch, and it's just a bunch of strangeness. What's with all the weird, angular animation? Why did Mel Blanc have to die?
I will admit that Spongebob is growing on me.
The new cartoons are too much like a sitcom with their unfunny humor. While I like the idea and name of Spongebob, I don't find him all that funny. However, I did have my photo taken with him a few years ago. I'm always up for having my photo taken with a lifesize sponge in short pants!
I love the fact that the page is "tore up".
Why can't somebody puh-leese put Shazam on DVD?
Mighty ISIS...ISis...isis (that was meant to symbolize an echo)
That was the best Saturday morning line-up ever. Including the parade of characters in order of size: "On with the show this is it!"
Sigh. My children will never know the joy. I remember Clue, to, although I usually only saw the end because it came on before Bugs Bunny.
I used to look at Clue Club condescendingly as it was essentially a cheap Scooby Doo rip off, but I also would watch it if I had the chance. I'm not sure why. For some reason I have always had a fascination with tv shows that aren't very good. They're like a train wreck - I can't look away.
Needless to say, 60s and 70s cartoon trainwrecks are Shakespeare compared to the cartoons that are on now.
