    Late 90’s-early 00’s. Still had all the old classics, but got Simpsons, South Park, KotH, and Futurama. TV was the only option and so network programming was generally better.

    Before my time, it was only Saturday mornings for cartoons.

    We still got Lunny toons, Flintstones, and Jetsons regularly back then.

      It was also the period of time where Cartoon Network started making new TV shows instead of just airing Hannah Barbera reruns. This led to what was essentially a third golden age for children’s cartoons, and subsequently spawned Adult Swim and Toonami.

      We haven’t had anything like that since and due to the downfall of network TV likely never will again.
