E/I regulations are easy to skirt. Virtually every 1 Saturday Morning / ABC Kids show was E/I when it had no business being. If they reran GI Joe with the PSAs at the end, I bet you it counts.
Blame Obama, literally
Fast Food companies were bankrolling cartoon blocks and the HEATHY FOOD craze caused them to back off
it was around that time that Saturday morning blocks were moving to cable
and then the government kept increasing over the air networks to air more educational material with stricter rules instead of just putting on an return of Bill Nye at 5am right before 4 hours of Pokemon

Cereal was well. Cereal companies paid for the creation of the shows since the early 1960s. Fastfood paid for airtime on saturday mornings. Plus in the 80s and early 90s toy companies also funded the creation of shows, which was made illegal.
Most channels could get around the educational mandate by having short PSAs or Schoolhouse Rock during commercials or between shows. But when it was jacked to absurd levels no one could keep up. WB tried with Hysteria but that ran out after a while and no one was going to pay for half an hour or more of educational stuff that would just be a ratings hole.
Basically screeching karens demanding more and more and more regulation killed the saturday lineup.

I'm not sure it was a health food crazy as much as it was a Frick McDonalds craze. Documentaries like McLibel and Supersize Me came out and everyone decided McDonalds was pure evil and hated on them everywhere.
they apparently don't know what DVDs are. overheard IRL two kids about 10 asking their dad if they had a CD player for the movies they kept picking up.
I literally blame the parent at that point. Why the frick did he not have DVDs anymore and then get annoyed that his wiener kids were too dumb to know what a DVD was??
I feel bad for these kids man. Being obsessed with the TV was one thing, it's stationary you have to leave it eventually before streaming it was easier to unplug. Tv kids channels were so beloved they would have also at least advetise going outside at one point. Growing up I was obsessed with the TV wich compared to today had minor consequences on my education. But kids now and days are obsessed with the internet wich is alooot more dangerous, that can be taken anywhere. The internet is a harbor for keeping people ignorant, obsessed, and depressed. >kids will never know the excitement of having to catch a show or not at all >kids only have shitty binge or crappy release format >kids will struggle to watch the old kino shit cuz it's treated nonexistent
Bro...
I'm a parentcel and your number one goal as one nowadays is keeping the kids off the internet as long as possible. I've seen toddlers with tablets and unlimited access to Youtube Kids and they're fricking monsters.
I made my own linear TV channels for my kids full of great preschool shows. I just worry that by the time he gets to elementary school some kid with shitty parents will expose him to horrific YouTube stuff and he'll want to watch it to be "cool". Then I'm the bad guy for not letting my kid watch garbage and get picked on by other bullies at school for not watching it or being a "baby" or what the frick ever.

If it's Fox vs Kids WB then it's the late 90s/early 2000s during a time when Fox Kids Saturday mornings were dead and Kids WB were dominating.
Hell let's take 1999.
Fox Kids
08:00AM Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century

09:00AM Digimon: Digital Monsters
09:30AM Xyber 9: New Dawn

>Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century >The New Batman/Superman Adventures
Easy Kids WB victory. >Monster Rancher >Pokemon
Another easy win for Kids WB. >Digimon >Batman Beyond
Together choice but again I'm going with Kids WB. >Xyber 9 >Men in Black
Another easy win for Kids WB. >Monster Rancher >Pokemon
Again Kids WB. >Digimon >Detention
Fox Kids wins this one. >Beast Machines >Big Cartoonie Show
Fox Kids again. >Avengers >Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries
Kids WB but I'd probably just go outside at that point.
Overall Kids WB wins in.
Machines >>Big Cartoonie Show >Fox Kids again.
I dunnno, it's still Beast Machines. I feel like that one should be an auto loss no matter what it's matched up with.
That's more of an afternoon cartoon they also had on saturdays on occasion. The typical saturday stuff was things like Superdave, Little Shop, Killer Tomatoes, just not great. By the tie they got X-Men, Spider-Man, Tick, and the better seasons of Eek things were okay.
It depended on where you lived. PR seasons were weekdays with new episodes on Saturdays in NYC, not so in other locations.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Gargamel chasing the Smurfs. I watched Bugs Bunny feed Taz dynamite. All those moments lost to time, like an empty box of Captain Crunch.
In my area Saturday morning cartoons were kind of shit.
ABC quit playing saturday morning cartoons in 1993
Fox in 2002
WB and CBS switched channels for some reason in 03-04 and only CBS still had cartoons until they quit around 05
There are a couple youtube channels that piece together saturday morning blocks to network and year.
From what I see things are kind of boring from the late 70s until 86 or so, then they get pretty good again until 92-93, except Fox. Fox is awful from start until 95 or so.

I really need to get an OTA DVR so I stop missing Popeye and Woody on MeTV
Speaking of, whatever happened to their Sunday Night Cartoons? They used to drop some pristine Columbia cartoons on that show, but I don't see it in the guide anymore
WB was better when barely anyone else was playing the game any more. Fox was vastly superior, slightly before WB came along. And even then people argue NBC or CBS was king before that.
My mom worked weekends and my dad worked nights so he'd sleep in until lunch on Saturdays. I would watch an entire block of SMCs from start to finish every weekend for YEARS.
A part of my childhood died when NBC cancelled their Saturday morning cartoons and replaced them with live action Saved By The Bell type shit. I actually liked those godawful Mario cartoons...
Honestly if you want to go really hardcore with this topic you'd ask where syndicated weekday morning cartoons were.
Younger 2000s kid here. My mom worked 13 hour medical shifts when she wasn't working she was sleeping. My dad wasn't in the picture so my internet and TV access was pretty open most of the time (binged TV more cuz back then I had to share a family computer.)
I still remember being able to watch TV for HOURS back when CN had a kino line up like pic related. Watching that shit with my sister growing up was so special we'd quote lines on the playground or in school almost like a shitty second language. I can't belive I took that for granted, now noone can stand to even have cable and I don't blame them longer commercials and shitty line ups. I miss being able to just turn on the TV and relax to a colorful array of entertainment. Used to channel hop cuz I couldn't pick it was all too good now I hop cuz nothing is fricking good enough.
I really want to figure out how to stream my custom channels live but I can only do it locally now. I have 8TB worth of cartoons from the 80s-00s and there's no bigger thrill just turning on the TV and seeing what's on.
As a kid I remember staying at my grandparents house. In the guest room, there was a tiny ass TV. We would watch COPS and Star Trek: The Next Generation together.
Fox is showing news. CW is showing informercials. Where did the cartoons go?
dead thanks to cable, streaming, Youtube, Video Games, and the E/I
>E/I
This more than anything, the government literally got away with banning Saturday Morning Cartoons.
and Litton sucks rhino dicks more than anything. You really think kids or teens will watch stuff that's already been shown in school on a weekend?
E/I regulations are easy to skirt. Virtually every 1 Saturday Morning / ABC Kids show was E/I when it had no business being. If they reran GI Joe with the PSAs at the end, I bet you it counts.
The final straw was when the government mandate for educational material was raised from something like 10 minutes to half an hour.
Blame Obama, literally

Kids don't watch tv these days
Instead they get baited to watch Youtube Kids Chumbox content Farms.
Wow, 2014 is when they took all the cartoons off Disney channel and turned it into nothing but tween sitcoms. And it's a total drop.
they apparently don't know what DVDs are. overheard IRL two kids about 10 asking their dad if they had a CD player for the movies they kept picking up.
I literally blame the parent at that point. Why the frick did he not have DVDs anymore and then get annoyed that his wiener kids were too dumb to know what a DVD was??
The quality of shows directly corresponds to the drop off.
I feel bad for these kids man. Being obsessed with the TV was one thing, it's stationary you have to leave it eventually before streaming it was easier to unplug. Tv kids channels were so beloved they would have also at least advetise going outside at one point.

howd you do it
https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv
It hooks into your Plex and you can make custom channels from your content library. I also did this
I just like the linear TV format but hate cable schedules.
Onto the world wide web, if I'm not mistaken.
Neither by the time I was old enough to remember watching anything fox kids was dead and kids wb was barely still around.
>GameCube
>late 90s early 2000s
Anon the GameCube came out in like 2010 or something, didn't it? It's not that of

I see you've never been an 8 year old boy
I was there watching Beast wars at 6AM every morning. I cried when it went off the air.
I was there for Beast Machines. It was shit.
Waspinator was the only good part.
>Detention
I like it better when it was called Disney's Recess
For some reason I remembered Power Rangers being a part of the saturday morning cartoon lineup. Huh

Embrace tradition
>7 AM
I'm not waking up that early for the Boomer Network
Especially during the Winter
Still on weekends, still a pleaser

Didnt they have Power Rangers since 1993?
That's more of an afternoon cartoon they also had on saturdays on occasion. The typical saturday stuff was things like Superdave, Little Shop, Killer Tomatoes, just not great. By the tie they got X-Men, Spider-Man, Tick, and the better seasons of Eek things were okay.
They should bring back Saturday Morning cartoons but for adults and have them swear.
On youtube
I really need to get an OTA DVR so I stop missing Popeye and Woody on MeTV
Speaking of, whatever happened to their Sunday Night Cartoons? They used to drop some pristine Columbia cartoons on that show, but I don't see it in the guide anymore
>OTA DVR
you can do that?
WB was consistently the better but when Fox was better it absolutely shit on WB
WB was better when barely anyone else was playing the game any more. Fox was vastly superior, slightly before WB came along. And even then people argue NBC or CBS was king before that.
What are you all talking about? I'm watching Fox Kids right now!
>try to watch anything on CN
>HUGE Max ads in the corner on every show

Weekday morning stuff was the biggest variety, every channel in every town had their own unique lineups
and it was always whatever the station to had access for free or on bargain
Younger 2000s kid here. My mom worked 13 hour medical shifts when she wasn't working she was sleeping. My dad wasn't in the picture so my internet and TV access was pretty open most of the time (binged TV more cuz back then I had to share a family computer.)

Wtf happened man?

My grandfather got me a small tv for my room so saturdays was full all the way until Soul Train came on
As a kid I remember staying at my grandparents house. In the guest room, there was a tiny ass TV. We would watch COPS and Star Trek: The Next Generation together.
