I liked waking up before my favorite shows, at like 5 am, and it would be reruns of Charles in Charge, or Whos the BossI remember waking up at 5 am on weekdays to watch the cartoons that failed to catch on before the ones kids liked watching came on.
It was always some religious shit on my local channels.Sunday sucked for that reason.
I think it was Soul Train at some point.
At least WB on Sunday had the good nature to sandwich Bozos Super Sunday Show (which was somehow whimsical and childish but also godawful boring) in between the two blocks.
I liked waking up before my favorite shows, at like 5 am, and it would be reruns of Charles in Charge, or Whos the BossSame, but it was episodes of Clueless. Then at 6, the pre Fox Kids block of cartoons would air. Tama and Friends followed by Heavy Gear. Its still cemented in my mind.
The channel that became the Fox affiliate in Philadelphia ran a Saturday afternoon block of old sci-fi / horror movies called Theater Bizarre. Saw a lot of Godzilla and Universal monster movies.That is an awesome idea for a TV block.
I remember waking up at 5 am on weekdays to watch the cartoons that failed to catch on before the ones kids liked watching came on.I did that too. Always set my alarm for 4:55 every Friday night. At one point I think at 5 there used to be a show based on an old like 30s or 40s superhero. But I forget his name. I think he wore all purple. And the hero role was passed down father to son each generation, like Black Panther......... but I can't think of the name. I think it used to be an old radio show back in the 40s

the Phantom?Yes. I think that's it
I don't remember what came on Saturdays, but l remember weekdays Fox Kids ended after Digimon at 4 or 430, and was followed by Judge Judy lolIt was basically them telling the kids to go do their homework.
I lived in the Chicago land area where Bozo was filmed so I remember it fondly.

There was also a cartoon Phantom 2040 with a snes/Genesis tie in game.
I was the opposite. I looked forward to the shows that came on after the cartoons that I watched with my dad. Mostly reruns of old westerns which are my favorite genre to this day. Stuff like Bonanza, The Big Valley, Laredo, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, and a smattering of others.You watch MeTV? Saturday morning has 3 hours of old cartoons. 30 minutes Popeye, 30 minutes Tom and Jerry / MGM, 1 hour Woody Woodpecker / Walter Lantz, 1 hour Looney Tunes.
Same with Sunday mornings. A mix of this, Kung Fu with David Carradine, and then WWF wrestling came on.

Then 7 hours of Westerns. The Wild Wild West, Wagon Train, The Big Valley, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Rawhide, Have Gun - Will Travel and Wanted: Dead or Alive.
Then 2 hours of Three Stooges before their sci-fi block begins until Sunday morning.
They used to run 3 hours or so of Saved by the Bell, but that recently changed to Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
