Ditto. I use to love their DC super hero show where they had clips from several Superfriends and Filmation's DC Super Heroes.

For a while there, USA had a good Saturday cartoon line-up. If memory serves, they had reruns of Savage Dragon, WildCATS, and Exo-Squad (eventually new episodes of the latter) with new episodes of Wing Commander Academy, Street Fighter, and Mortal Kombat.

There was this one channel in Philly that before CW was the WB where on Saturdays they had Double Dragon, Skysurfer Strike Force, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, Megaman, Street Sharks, Mighty Max, and Ultraforce.

Speaking of CW, which in Philly use to be UPN, which use to be something else when I was a kid, they had awesome toons too: Bionic Six, Fantastic Max, Superted, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Denver the Last Dinosaur, and Dinosaucers.

Here's a really obscure show: Video Power. If memory serves, you could only watch it in Northeast US, like New York and Philly. The first season had a Captain N rip-off cartoon segment called the Power Team. The show was paid for by Acclaim, so it featured game reviews and hints for Acclaim games and the Power Team starred characters from their games. The last two seasons dropped the cartoon and hints for a game show vibe like Nick Arcade and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

When I lived in California, I use to have the Boomerang network and like every weekend, I'd be glued to the TV when I wasn't working. The weekdays were generally the later HB stuff I wasn't too enthused with or stuff like Tom & Jerry and Looney Tunes, which are fine, but the weekends they seemed to save the top notch stuff for. LOVED Boomeraction.

Sonic he can really move....sonic hes got an attitude...sonic hes the fastest thing alive!

some of my faves by the by are

bananaman

the family ness

willy fog (my first ever forey into anime belive it or not was a spanish anime style series)

count duckula

the trap door

reboot (still never seen the end of the final series unbelievably)

knightmare (not a cartoon but still frigging awesome)

Ren and Stimpy! Splitty strikes again - I had forgotten about them! And I tried to only list my favorites; DAMMIT!

Shining Knight, I don't know if I've ever seen any of those cartoons!

Gonna' be singin' "Happy-Happy, Joy-joy!" all the way to work now... ?thanks?!?

Even as a wean those scottish accents were shit

Dinosaucers was the shit.

Here's what I recall from my youth (through High School):

Mach-A-Go-Go
Gatchaman
Kimba, The White Lion
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Candy, Candy
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?
The Scooby-Doo Movies
Josie and the Pussycats
Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space
Chan Clan
The Archies Show
Sabrina the Teen-Aged Witch and the Groovy Ghoulies
The Funky Phantom
Speed Buggy
Superfriends
Tarzan/Lone Ranger Adventure Hour
The Wacky Racers
Laff-A-Lympics
The Super Globetrotters
The Perils of Penelope Pitstop
Transformers
G.I. Joe
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
She-Ra, Princess of Power
Smurfs
Flintstones
Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels
Danger Mouse
Count Duckula

^ Danger Mouse! Dammit, I had forgotten about that one, too!
And Superfriends! Wendy & Marvin used to drive me batshit - how could I have forgotten that?!?!
<*nostalgic sigh*>

For those of you who love Ren & Stimpy, and don't know who the Ripping Friends are, here's the dealeo.

It's made by the guys who did the Powdered Toast Man on Ren & Stimpy (one of my favorite characters). It's a Canadian/US show made after they were fired? from Ren & Stimpy in 2001, and only lasted one year (I really wished it lasted longer).

It's a really gross show about questionable super heroes, done much like Ren & Stimpy. There's only one retail DVD with only a few episodes, but the whole series is available on the 'trade' market, but I have yet to score it. But they're probably all on Youtube anyway.

Hold on duckula and dangermouse are shown in america?!?

They used to be shown on Nickelodeon in the 80s. They were very, very popular along with You Can't Do That on Television, which was like SNL for pre-teens.

Wow, you guys hit all of them I believe. TMNT ('87), Mega Man, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, Simpsons, Freakazoid, Tiny Toons, Pirates of Dark Water, Gummi Bears, Gargoyles, Beavis & Butthead, Daria, Aeon Flux, The Maxx, early 90's X-Men & Spider-Man, Silver Surfer (Although cancelled way early), Biker Mice from Mars, Liquid Television, South Park, Duckman, Darkwing Duck, Duck Tales, Batman: The Animated Series, and Batman Beyond.

These are just the ones that hit me the hardest when thinking. There is, of course, many more.

Ah, nostalgia.

I remember Gargoyles & Beavis & Butthead... but, "Biker Mice from Mars?"
That's one helluva groovy name. You sure it was a toon & not a rock band?
