1980s Saturday Morning Cartoons and Commercials

Sit back and enjoy some classic 1980s television!

There's nothing out there that can beat being a kid in the 80s and watching Saturday morning cartoons I would do it all over again to watch them all over again oh how I miss the 80s

[@herculesballz1905]

I feel the same way. It was way safer back then compared to all the nonsense that is going on in the world today. At least we lived in a normal time period unlike today with all of the crazy woke stuff being forced down everyone's throats.

[@jefferyrandall8030]

What you just described was my childhood to a T. Switch between networks until around 1. (The time they went off) Then went outside with all my friends to play. The only thing you missed was a big bowl of fruit loops or frosted flakes.

[@jimmyhill7700]

@@jefferyrandall8030 there was always a wide variety of breakfast cereals and fruity pebbles / fruit loops / Honey Nut Cheerios were frequently consumed with toast and butter (which I occasionally dipped into the cereal). Weekends seemed to last so much longer back then.

[@byronicman]

@@jimmyhill7700 I'd get up round 6 and start switching between NBC, CBS and ABC, watching shows till noon or 1. Usually I'd have a bowl of cereal, but sometimes, if I was lucky, my parents would run out to McDonalds and grab some breakfast food for us. Or maybe for lunch. Then it was outside for the day, maybe some Atari when it got dark out.

Being a kid in the 80s was great. Saturday mornings were the only cartoon days for most of us, so we looked forward to it all week! I miss these days so much. Didn't have a care in the world except trying to make it in the house before those streetlights came on! ☺

[@maverick744]

Spot on.. we looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons starting on Sunday! We wouldn’t go outside until after 12.. cable ruined it for kids. Cartoon Network had cartoons everyday and this began the end .. we are the luckiest generations.. I use to watch the battle of the planets and superfriends like a mofo! Then the 80’s came. I use to watch the Smurf’s eating my Smurf berry cereal.. we had it all ET.. The Goonies.. best time to be a kid for sure..

We were so poor I watched these on a black and white. I slept on the couch in the living room, because we didn't have space for me to have my own room even as an only child. I would throw my (and my classmates from the trash) old papers in the wood stove while and light a fire while my parents so I could warm up enough to go get cereal, eat in bed, and watch these and play with some old toy cars. Edit: I still have my little unnamed pound puppies from 31:00 !

What made it so special and wonderful was that back then, especially in the 70's, there were 3 networks, 2 PBS stations, and 2 unaffiliated local channels. In my city anyway. If you missed Rudolph or Frosty it hurt. I remember missing Rudolph one year and I cried like a baby. Well I was like 6 or 7. But back then the anticipation, the build up for 🎄Christmas🎄, the shows, the ambiance, everything was so different. Nowadays it's one push away on your tablet, smartphone, whatever. That same feeling is gone and it's gone forever. Sad!

[@BradTheProducer]

That pirate in the red coat on Lazer Tag Academy has GOT to have been based on G.G. Allin.

[@derp8575]

What happened to commercial variety? Now it's insurance, cars and medicine. If advertising works so well, why did they stop advertising toys, candy, groceries, restaurants, etc? When's the last time you saw an ad for Hamburger Helper or a Micro Machine? Both items still exist.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Luckily because there's more older folks than there are kids nowadays. Also, Saturday Morning Cartoons as we remember them are basically dead.

[@marcusfridh8489]

Commercials directly aimed for children was banned by law, thats what happened and after that the Saturday morning cartoons declined into the early 2000's. And now with app-games, and social media, the children s commercials has somewhat returned, even if just in limited forms and not as good and creative as in the 80's, at least seen in the eyes of nostalgia.

🙋 now we're talking about the good old days of television and all the great and epic cartoons they use to show on Saturday mornings. These are the days I miss and I know a lot of you out there miss them too. Great times, great memories and great entertainment back then too. Why can't we still have this type of stuff today the way we did back then. Television back then was great to watch unlike today, I'm just being honest here. Television of today ain't nothing like it was back then. The cartoons of today are nothing either, I'm just so disappointed and the stuff that's on television today. I miss living in the 80s and I miss being a kid back from that era too, being an adult kind of stinks. The good old days were from 1980s up to 1999.
