80's Weekday Cartoon Compilation with Commercials and Bumpers

In the 1980s, independent stations signed on in many mid-sized and small markets. This market was meant for made-for-television cartoons which had grown as a result. Many of these stations started running cartoon blocks on weekdays as early as 6 in the morning and as early as 2 in the afternoon. There were some stations that had aired cartoons as late as 6 p.m. on weekdays. Most large and mid-sized markets had at least two local stations running such programming in the 6 to 9 a.m. and the 2:30 to 5 p.m. timeslots. Some markets had as many as three. Traditionally, the local stations had been airing reruns of either old theatrical cartoons or TV cartoons produced for the nationwide channels. However, this was soon to change as producers realized the potential of selling their cartoons directly to the independent stations. The first cartoon series to be produced for first-run syndication were He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and Inspector Gadget, both premiering with 65 half-hour episodes in the fall of 1983.
The 1981 Action for Children's Television made it permissible for animated series to be used to promote toylines and merchandise, and the many series that were created as a result would come to define much of the landscape of mid-1980s children's cartoons.[1] He-Man and the Masters of the Universe kickstarted this trend, and was followed in subsequent years by properties such as G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, The Transformers, ThunderCats, My Little Pony, and Voltron. The regulations on children's television programming in the United States was instrumental in ending this practice and setting limits to the amount of advertising time which were allocated to children's programs. Currently, any advertisement for a tie-in product within the show, elsewise the entire program will be classified automatically as a violating half-hour infomercial according to the FCC's definition, even if one second of a show's character or reference is seen in an advertising; this clause in Children's Television Act puts the station at risk of paying large fines should the program violate this rule.

The 80's was a cool time of changing technology, I'd relive it again for sure. I'd be curious to see the post war high of the 50's and experience that as well

Wow, didn't know that about the government classifying many of the cartoons everyone enjoyed as infomercials to cancel them (Children's Television Act). They were great cartoons and if you had the toy it made them come to life with giving you new and interesting ideas for playtime. Of course some bottle rockets and firecrackers with GIJoe men is awesome too.
