What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon ofthe 80s and 90s

[DrNewGod]

Yeah, Saturday morning cartoons are pretty much dead now. But back in the heyday, there were a ton of them. Of course, I think the early 90s is when it got really good with Barman: the animated series and Exosquad. But then the late 90s and early 2000, you could really see the death knell coming right on in. And now we have really good animated shows like Arcane, Castlevania, Invincible, and so on. Of course, I think Exosquad predicted this even though NBC/Universal has no animated shows of any importance except for a deal with Seth MacFarlane and owned two studios, one being Universal Animated Studios and DreamWorks Animation. But what was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon before the fall?

Exosquad, for all its Leifeld-esque costumes superimposed on a military milleu, was excellent. That is a property that deserves Amazon or HBO to pick it up as a live-action series.

Was "Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers" a Sat morning show or a weekday show? I guess it depends on your market, but I would add that if it qualifies.

It definitely aired here in Australia on a Saturday once. So it qualifies here.

I remember that show, it came from the tabletop game of the same name. The funny story was FASA the owners of BattleTech back then and also the creator, was looking for someone to make the toyline for an upcoming show that was being made, and eventually went to Tyco Toys, but a runner-up was Playmates. Anyone that knows Exosquad knows that Playmates ended up making their toys. But, before Playmates went to Exosquad, they made a few demos for FASA. When Exosquad came around and Tyco Toys got the license to make the BattleTech toys, Playmates then just decided to put a few of those BattleTech toys demo into the Exosquad toyline leading to a lawsuit with FASA suing Playmates. FASA lost because of how their tabletop game and the whole unseen mess with RRobotech happed. It also ended with Playmates telling FASA that they don't own Exosquad, but that Vivendi/Universal now NBC/Universal owned the rights. Playmates only owned the licensing to make the toys and the bizarre Sega Genesis game. And all licensing with Universal and Playmates ended a long time ago, and now reverted back to Universal.
