In the early 90s I remember getting up at 4:55 I think. Cartoons started at 5. I remember the first 5 o clock show was Phantom, in like 1992 maybe. Its the only reason I know anything about him

Yeah, it was.
My dad would wake me up around at 7 AM so I could catch the Popeye's cartoon that aired after the morning news.

Nah, I just used to get up early as a matter of course.

When I was 7, my morning routine was:

  1. Wake up at about 5 AM
  2. Shake my jar of dirt that had a larval cicada in it (poor cicada)
  3. Watch weird, fever dream game shows. I just remember one had like, "whammies" and "double whammies" and like, little cartoon devils on the screen.
  4. Watch weird infomercials
  5. Watch the cartoons
  6. Eat breakfast when my mum woke up
  7. Keep watching cartoons
  8. Get dressed
  9. Keep watching cartoons
  10. be late for school

when i look back it was kinda messed up since i shared a room with mom while big bro and dad got their own rooms.. dad was because he snored like a truck and nobody could sleep around him xd.

i remember waking up early and having to sneak out because mom wouldn't let me watch cartoons early in the morning and by early i mean around the same time i would wake up for school.

it really sucked when i managed to wake her up because she would just force me back to bed when i was all excited about sitting in front of the TV.

Thank you!

You really have no idea how much it means to me to finally find out what it was called, after 30 years.

I was seriously beginning to think I'd imagined it.

Born in the mid-90s & grew up on Cartoon Network so Saturdays for me meant Looney Tunes ( ) followed by a movie (mixed bag - usually negative bc 80% of the time itd be one of the Land Before Time movies, and it was never the original)

yes, and it was awesome. we would get doughnuts the night before, so I'd wake up at like 6:30 or 7:00 and have my doughnuts then sit in front of the TV until like 11:00 or whenever they ended.

i remember Conan animated series being the first thing on, at like 7:00.

That fever dream show was called Press Your Luck, and I think it was on USA on cable.

Yeah, there's the classic version, a reboot that was on Gameshow network about 20 years ago or so, and there's currently a new version on ABC now.
