Back before streaming took over, watching TV actually felt special. You couldn’t just pull up whatever you wanted—nope, you had to wait for it. And when your favorite TV block came on? That was an event.
Saturday mornings? Pure magic. You’d roll out of bed, grab a bowl of cereal, and plant yourself in front of Fox Kids, Kids’ WB, or 1 Saturday Morning on ABC. Cartoons back-to-back, no responsibilities, just vibes.

Afternoons? Nickelodeon had us covered. Nick in the Afternoon with Stick Stickly? Iconic. And Toonami? That’s where so many of us got our first taste of anime—Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing. If you were lucky enough to have Boomerang, you got a crash course in old-school cartoons.

Evenings? That’s when things got real cozy. SNICK on Saturdays had All That and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and TGIF brought all the classic sitcoms—Boy Meets World, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Full House. And then there was Nick at Nite… the moment you felt just a little grown-up watching The Brady Bunch or Fresh Prince.
