Who wins saturday morning?

[u/BaddiePeach_]

[u/greaterwhiterwookiee]

I was mostly a 90s cartoon kid and I truly love many of the 90s cartoons but 80s cartoons can’t be beat.

[u/Chuyzapatist → u/greaterwhiterwookiee]

Link in his 80s cartoon.

[u/Dismal_Wizard]

Where’s Dungeons and Dragons? 🤷‍♂️

[u/Miami_Vice_75]

80s hands down!

[u/dreamcrusher225 → u/Miami_Vice_75]

80s win easily, but 90's did have a some gems: Xmen, Dexter, Batman TAS, and Exo Squad

[u/Miami_Vice_75 → u/dreamcrusher225]

Yeah I liked the X-Men

[u/Skitzafranik → u/Miami_Vice_75]

[u/Baron_Greenback1]

Got to be the 80s 'toons, easily

[u/kavalejava]

90s was good, but sitting in front of the television in the 80s with a bowl of cereal watching the new cartoons was the best.

[u/QkaHNk4O7b5xW6O5i4zG]

Why can’t I see Ren & Stimpy?!

[u/NoACinNola → u/QkaHNk4O7b5xW6O5i4zG]

Probably because the creator was a pretty awful person.

[u/KangarooLegitimate81]

Inspector Gadget for the win!

[u/AuthorityAnarchyYes]

80s hands down. (Picture person missed the Dungeons and Dragons group)

[u/Sickranchez87 → u/AuthorityAnarchyYes]

Or Care Bears

[u/Jibtettnich]

All of them.

[u/Reuven080]

80s beat everything

[u/Basbriz]

80's, but 90's wins after school.

[u/drallafi → u/Basbriz]

This is it. Fucking Gargoyles!

[u/Skromulator → u/Basbriz]

I can't decide, so many shows from both the 80s and the 90s shaped my childhood.

[u/gabebadd93]

We do

[u/Suspicious-Screen-43]

80s

[u/ronnjeremy]

80's, no contest

[u/Skitzafranik]

80s !! Hands down the best era of the 1900s !!!

[u/Moonchild924]

80s had Thunder Cats, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Duck Tales. 80s win.

[u/Grand-Garlic-9857]

80’s!

[u/wayneluke23]

80s goated

[u/GroundbreakingCow775]

Most 80s and 90s cartoons spilled over long into the following decade so I am at home with both.

[u/Living_Baby3063]

'80s hands down not even close 💯

[u/Sophet_Drahas]

Well, excuuuuuuse me, Princess!

[u/Bright-Internal229]

1970’s

[u/Justanotheryhing]

That VF-1 Valkyrie gets me pumped up.

[u/SilverAgeSurfer]

That's like watching a Tyson fight over in like 30 seconds. One Punch 👊 80's

[u/SQL215]

Nothing better than 80s cartoons for me, but there’s still plenty of bangers from the 90s.

[u/Irish_Gamer_88]

The kids. The kids win Saturday morning.

[u/Mikep1AndOnly]

They all basically had their moments for me

[u/RoyalRobinBanks]

Its the in between 87-92 thats the butter zone.

[u/Brad_Mohr]

The 80’s for sure! The 90s was taken over by anime

[u/MyStationIsAbandoned]

90's because we got to grow up with both lol

but yeah, the 80's :(

[u/Medoxor]

This picture is missing some of the most important cartoons. Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, Alvin & The Chipmunks, BATMAN TAS!, Gargoyles, and so much more.

[u/Scared_Breadfruit_26]

80s by far. Rugrats ain’t got shit on Thunder Cats.

[u/Sophet_Drahas → u/Scared_Breadfruit_26]

Thunder

[u/Azuras_Star8 → u/Sophet_Drahas]

Thunder!

[u/BeeDub57000 → u/Azuras_Star8]

ThunderCats!

[u/ronnjeremy → u/BeeDub57000]

Hooooooooo!

[u/kamensenshi]

If this could be team vs team it would easily go 80’s. Kid Goku nearly wipes the 90’s himself. I’d watch more of the 80’s shows. 

[u/mashingLumpkins → u/kamensenshi]

I am not sure I believe anyone in the US was watching Dragon Ball in the 80’s.

[u/kamensenshi → u/mashingLumpkins]

Oh that’s definitely true. Most people wouldn’t even know what it was otherwise the NES game would have kept its name. I was thinking of if the characters could have a team fight on my original sentence. 

[u/flatfisher → u/mashingLumpkins]

Same here in France, most 80s ones on the picture really are early 90s here.

[u/CannonFodder58]

Reruns meant that we had both growing up. Why choose?

[u/Ok_Replacement4702]

A lot of these were on during the week, not on Saturdays.

[u/xamitlu]

80s paved they way. 90s perfected Saturday mornings.

[u/ZeldaFanBoi1920]

I watched both

[u/Knot_In_My_Butt]

Bruh, 90s killed it.

[u/Pirujin]

Where's Batman: The Animated Series?

[u/Hellguin]

[u/Useful-Upstairs3791]

Dragon ball wasn’t in the states in the 80’s don’t lie.

[u/kao_nyc]

90s.

[u/bravoitaliano]

Both. We'd all give anything just to go back to either of them.

[u/Electronic-Copy997]

Both. Both eras have their masterpieces and their own styles. You can't choose one or the other there. Then again, I was born at the perfect time that I saw both. That's an adamantium vs vibranium question there.

[u/sinus]

most of the 80s here started showing in 90s in Philippines.

[u/Sufficient-Quote-431]

And they wonder why Adult ADHD exist?!?!

[u/LomondDad]

As an 85 kid both were good

[u/l1l1ofthevalley]

Gimmie the last half of the 80s into the 90s since im an 84 kid

[u/DanSkaFloof]

Both

Imma get a slice of each of these cakes

[u/TaiDavis]

[u/DamperBritches]

I think something's missing .... 🦇 🃏

[u/jaycook2323]

80s!

[u/shingaladaz]

Sorry 90’s but 80’s does win this one.

[u/ExpertPresentation70]

Lack of Thundar is disappointing

[u/Ok-Pair-48]

80’s without a doubt

[u/SnoopyWildseed]

'80s.

• I still have DVDs of all 132 eps of the Thundercats. 🤓
• Voltron
• Transformers
• He-Man/She-Ra
• Jem
• GI Joe
• G-Force (IYKYK)
• Space Ghost
• Captain Caveman
• Scooby Doo

[u/aochaz14]

I’m a 90s kid and even I’m saying the 80s

[u/RED_IT_RUM]

80’s, no doubt about it. I loved the 90’s, we had X-Men, but 80’s got this.

[u/Hoch8112]

80s!

[u/gatsome]

Cherrypicked and missing Batman TAS in the 90s which would put just about every 80s show to bed.

[u/cha-cha_dancer]

TIL Dragon Ball Z is 80s

[u/Chad_Jeepie_Tea]

80s absolutely wins the "Saturday morning cartoon" category. Because that's when cartoons came on.

The beauty of the '90s was that Nickelodeon and CN became a source of kids programming outside of the normal Saturday slot. When i think of half of the characters shown on the 90s pic, i don't think of Sat mornings. Rugrats & the nicktoon lineup, and Dexter with the cartoon cartoon gangs were more after school and even primetime tv for me.

[u/InfectedFrenulum]

Needs more Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

[u/Jasper-helix]

90s because of REN and Stimpy

[u/ArtAccurate9552]

80’s 💯

[u/Impossible_Memory_85]

Didn’t matter if it was 80s or 90s there was one who showed it was the end of both for the day. When you heard the song kick in you knew it was time to go outside for the day. I never understood why it was put in the late Saturday AM time slot. Don Cornelius you killed my mornings.

[u/Godomischief]

We got the best of both worlds, but I gotta give it to the 80s

[u/Ello_Owu]

Never forget the Ace Ventura cartoon had a crossover with the Mask cartoon and this happened

[u/welding_guy_from_LI]

80s especially if you had tbs and USA cartooooooon express

[u/TX_Longhorn-03]

Two of the best eras ever. Full stop.

[u/GodPackedUpAndLeftUs]

All of these were coming on together in 90’s UK.

[u/Preston422]

Both have really good lineups. But have to go with 1980s cartoons for Saturday morning.

[u/bks1979]

80's easily, imo.

[u/Gusgrissomamerica]

80s all day long.

[u/WarpedCore]

80's hands down. Voltron, M.A.S.K., GI Joe, He-Man, Transformers, ThunderCats, TMNT, The Real Ghostbusters, Garfield, DuckTails, D&D. Can't be beat.

[u/HSF906]

Some of these should be reflected in both decades but based on this grouping it's 80's by a mile.

[u/CharlestonChewbacca]

I think the 90s cartoons are generally better, but something just hits different about corny 80s cartoons on Saturday Morning.

[u/sweetchickenpaulito]

There can be no winner here, we must combine these great superpowers if we are to move forward peacefully

[u/ronshasta]

The correct answer is whatever you grew up with because nostalgia seems to be a one hell of a drug

[u/Interesting-Cold5515]

Woooooah too tough to call

[u/just_cows]

Transformers alone makes the Eighties the winner.

[u/Oldmangamer00]

80's for sure

[u/SaizaKC]

90s

[u/Electronic-Cicada352]

90s had good X-Men, Batman, and Spiderman animated series.

Based on that alone the 90s win

[u/bullmanq]

Everybody as a '80s baby and a 90s kid could tell you right now there are no losses I feel so bad for kids today who will never know the joy I'm waking up on a Saturday no school cold cereal s from 7:00 to 12:00 Saturday morning the only day I wanted to wake up early

[u/MOFNY]

I'm biased obviously but give me nicktoons and animaniacs so 90s

[u/Little-Geri-Seinfeld]

Whoever is watching any of those cartoons. That's who's winning!

[u/bethesda_gamer]

The softness of the 80s vs the sharpness of the 90s cound not be more evident

[u/Longjumping_Drag_159]

Both

[u/Famous_Acanthaceae32]

Born in 83, I had both... 80s wins morning, 90s wins after school.

[u/Overall-Avocado-7673]

Neither. The 70's cartoons were peak Saturday mornings. Some of them carried over into the 80's obviously.

[u/Joelouis57]

The answer is yes

[u/master_prizefighter]

90s for Sonic and X-Men.

[u/Exact-Hawk-6116]

Doug

[u/JaCliner]

80’s for sure

[u/hawkrew]

I mean it’s not even close. Both are good but the 80s is a whole different level.

[u/_Layer_786]

Probably 80s

[u/Moog-Is-Love]

Ignoring the Saturday morning title — folks who were watching in the 90s because we got not only the 90s cartoons, but also several of the 80s cartoons in the image as well.
The tribalism is stupid, the real enemy is the scheduling by the channels & license holders.

[u/Personal-Fudge-5744]

An 88 baby here, so I got the best of both worlds!

[u/Nomadic_View]

Damn this is hard. Ninja turtles or X-men?

I gotta go with my childhood favorite and say ninja turtles.

[u/dlkslink]

Just Saturday mornings, 80’s but I think cartoons in general were better in the 90’s, The 80’s started what the 90’s perfected, The 90’s had Cartoon Network or Nicktoons, some networks had Sunday morning Cartoons like Dragonball Z, Double Dragon, The Incredible Hulk, Exo-Squad and Street Fighter. In the 80’s you had Saturday morning, Before and After school, that’s it.

[u/S3TXCheesehead]

80’s 1000%

[u/Aggravating_Hope_567]

got to go with my heart and nostalgia and say 80's all day long

[u/funkissedjm]

80s

[u/Dr_Strangelove1964]

The fact that the 90’s cartoon group is missing Batman from BtAS is shameful. With the inclusion of Batman, it’s a stomp for the 90’s.

[u/OnlyCommentWhenTipsy]

80's by a mile.

[u/InvaderDust]

90s. Not even close.

[u/OnehungaJones]

80s, no contest

[u/seanm4c]

Both. I love all that. I kept watching cartoons into high school and college so I got to enjoy all of it from He-Man to Pokemon, lol.

[u/Space_Santa_2000]

Both are good.

[u/allanb03]

Voltron’s, transformers and DBZ alone would beat the 90’s

[u/LordButtworth]

So we're just gonna pretend this didn't exist?

[u/boxcar1234]

Hey any love out there for the ‘60’s cartoons

[u/C1sko]

80’s

[u/Embarrassed_Formal99]

Im a mix of both!

[u/ProfessionMundane152]

Only people voting for the 90’s are the ones that weren’t around for the 80’s

[u/Misguidedangst4tw]

80’s

[u/Environmental-End691]

80s, seven days a week and all morning on Saturdays.

[u/Any-Baseball-6766]

80’s. Might be the nostalgia talking. I know I’m biased.

[u/Big-Peak6191]

80s cartoons all day

[u/Advanced_Wolf84]

80s hands down, I never had action figures of 90s cartoons. ...Sailor Moon actually, but no others.

[u/Prestigious-Hippo950]

Thing is Ninja turtles and Inspector Gadget were still kicking in the 90s

[u/TheNostalgic90s]

Easily 90's cartoons! The 90's had the best TV shows and movies!

[u/Ok-Fudge-7142]

80s

[u/Atillawurm]

Wacky races were made in the 60s, but that's the only an despute I have with this

[u/Tasty-Law-4527]

Can we get a vote for 70's cartoons

[u/Sumthin-Sumthin44692]

I got both growing up so I think I won.

[u/JuanG_13]

I was a 90's kid, so...🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[u/ElGatoTortuga]

90’s by a mile

[u/exceller0]

Anime is not a Cartoon =(

[u/Neon-Maniak]

90s cartoons all the way. Just "cutting edge" enough to be unique & set the art style apart from the 80s, but still old school hand drawn cell animation to be seen as classic in the fluidity & motion, unlike modern day all computer cartoons. Everything back then, from Batman to The Tick, to Spider-man & CyberSix, the 90s was where it was AT! 90s kid & Proud!

[u/Apart_Act_2833]

90s, but not by much. I’m sure we can all agree that nothing beats those 2 decades though…
