Saturday Morning Cartoons

There is a new network called HUB (used to be discovery kids). They have my little pony, strawberry shortcake and pound puppies shows among others. You should look into that.

I found Schoolhouse Rock on DVD! If you don't recall they were the little educational cartoons run in between the full length cartoons. They look very 70's but they still have catchy tunes and sneak in a lot of education. I loved Superfriends, G-Force ( 70's Japanese anime, badly dubbed), Muppets and Fraggles. You can find the Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock on DVD as well.

Netflix. We got rid off it last summer, got an antenna and $9/mo for netflix. My kids watch Fraggle Rock, Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Inspector Gadget and Felix the Cat and love them all. Plus we also get the Qubo channel with our antenna. I am so glad I am no longer paying $150/month for this stuff!

If you are really into it (well, I guess I am a slightly older generation,lol) go for the ones before those... Captain Caveman, Blue Falcon and DynoMutt, The SuperFriends, The Pink Panther, The Jetsons, et al.

A lot of these can be found on my favorite kids' channel: (say it with me now..) "Boomerang... where it alllllll comes back to you!"
:)

Oh yeah--- School House Rock, ROCKS!! We bought the anniversary edition a few years ago for my kids who'd never seen it. They learned so much... daughter even took it into school to let the teacher borrow it when they were learning about the government, and about conjunctions! LOL

Netflix has a lot of these.

My kids LOVE the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons (and so do I. They are actually pretty entertaining).
My 3 year old likes Care Bears, but truth be told, the old ones are pretty bad. We did rent She-Ra and it did not hold their attention, and was a lot lamer than I remembered it.
I would love to re-watch Jem though! Does anyone else remember Jem and the Holograms? Ha!

We got these on DVD and my son loves them.
Garfield and Friends
Scooby Do
The Pink Panther
It wasn't a Saturday morning cartoon, but The Muppet Show was brilliant.

my kids love She-Ra...we get it on our instant watch NetFlix account...stream it through the DVD player. They have also watched Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, MLP, Godzilla, and many others from our childhood...all on NetFlix's

This is a great question! As a child of the 80s, I too have been wanting to get my kids into all that good stuff, especially since Saturday morning cartoons nowadays are quite lame!

I found Fraggle Rock is also on the HUB channel (also available on Comcast, not just AT&T) in the middle of the day around lunchtime. I also bought a few DVDs of it at Best Buy a while back. I think they've also got GIJoe and original Transformers cartoons later in the evening. I've also seen Care Bears movies on Comcast On Demand, but I don't know if they're original or new (and since my daughter is a bit young for that and my son would be...uninterested, to say the least...I haven't checked it out).

Let me know if you find any of the other ones that no one has mentioned finding yet! I love this stuff!

My son, almost 2, loves really old Mickey Mouse! And we get a channel called Cubo that still plays He Man. My son calls He Man dada and She Ra mama! I wish lol :)

If you get the Qubo channel, they have Qubo After Dark, which is when they show the old school stuff. They show He-Man and She-Ra, and some other ones too. It's on pretty late, 11 pm here in Chicago, but if you have DVR you could record it and play it for your daughter during the daytime.

I also loved the cartoons you and the others have mentioned. I always remember Saturday Mornings with the Smurfs, and Gummi Bears (bouncing here and there and everywhere... lol). So fun!

We have a lap top hooked up to our tv and you can find alot of that stuff by searching you tube. We watch alot of "Boomerang" tv at our house thru our cable provider - Smurfs, Snorks, old school Scoobie Doo, etc.

I loved Kidd Video.

My kiddo loves watching My Little Pony and Pound Puppies. I put HUB on Sat mornings. She's also a big fan of She-Ra (yay Netflix!!).

i haven't read the answers... but i know netflix has my little pony, strawberry shortcake and she-ra and fraggle rock. not sure of the others. but its a place to start. good luck finding them!

I recently found Boomerang as well and it's so fun!! My daughter really loves My Little Pony and the Pink Panther! Too funny! She's also really into Tom and Jerry. Target has a bunch of Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears and Tom and Jerry DVDs for $5 too, so if you check frequently you can stock up for cheap!

Do you have netflix? They have them on netflix.

S.

I was going to say that Netflix has Fraggle Rock, but I guess a lot of other mommas have told you that already! Hope you find everything you love/loved! I know my daughter and I really enjoy it!

Okay, I will SO try not to ramble, but you hit one of my favs!

Yup, the instant Netflix (if you have a Wii or other device) has all the Fraggle Rock, She-Ra, Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Inspector Gadget, Rocky and Bullwinkle, etc.

Me, I'm prone to buying these things because I think TV was SOOOO much better then! And I totally forgot about the Pound Puppies cartoon, although I still have two Pound Puppies stuffed animals and they are on my daughters shelf (one big, one little.)

My total favorites were Muppet Babies, all Looney Tunes (I know they are much older than the 80s, but I've bought them all on DVD!), PeeWee's Playhouse, Ghostbusters, and I had forgotten about the Jem show, but I still have a cassette that came with my Jem barbie (which I also still have) so I remember the song...Jem, Jem is excitement, oooo-oooh, Jem, Jem is adventure, oooo-oooh...wow!!!!

I also see that a few people mentioned Schoolhouse Rock...I also bought the Anniversary Edition (with like, all the songs!) on sale for ten dollars, and my daughter LOVES it!

We also like some of the early 90s stuff, like Garfield and Friends, DuckTales, etc.

Oh, and the only one I cannot find, no matter what, is Muppet Babies. Apparently they can't get the rights to all the movie clips they had in the episodes, so they haven't been put to DVD. Total shame, I still think that was the best.

Wow, what a fun question...thanks! :)

Netflix has many of these on their watch it now. I watched the Fraggle Rock show with my son last week and the cartoon with my daughter. I know they have some of the older Care Bear movies and some of the newer versions of the show. Rainbow Brite is on our list, but I don't know when we'll watch it :). And I have seen a DVD called cartoons from the 80s...Monchi chis, Mr. T, etc at our local library. I am sure it's a good resource too. Enjoy!

My kids love Scooby and and Tom and Jerry. We all watch Sat. morn cartoons together as a family in bed. It is our chill time before we have to start our day. It also allows us comfy family time when everyone is still in a good mood. :)

I miss Fraggle Rock

Our local library has LOTS of those. the most recent one we checked out from there was the Gummi Bears... Netflix I know for certain has Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake.

THUNDER CATS!! :-)
Fraggle Rock
She-ra
Inspector Gadget
Does anyone remember Mousercise with Kellyn??
The Flintstones
The Racoons.

As stated below, we watch these on the HUB on AT&T. We love it!

Flintstones, Jetsons, Smurfs

I was a big Tom & Jerry fan when I was little, but watching it as adult I see it with different eyes
