    For a brief, shining moment you had Animaniacs, XMen, and The Tick all on back to back on Thursdays after school

      it was great. Fox used to show blocks of shows in the morning before school so you could watch Power Rangers in the morning and then more when you got home. Also Disney had their after school cartoon block of Tale Spin, DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, etc.

      and THEN here in Canada you could get like an hour of and half of Simpsons EVERY night. CBC would show Simpsons at 5, Fox at 5:30, and then another Canadian Station would show an episode at 6.

      We really had it great in the 90s.

      Oddly I’ve seen a lot of Animaniacs references recently.

      So I downloaded an Animaniacs torrent to re-watch a bunch of stuff from the 90s that used to make me happy. Somehow it’s not as great as I remember. Or maybe I’m just old and miserable.

        I preferred Freakazoid. I still watch it. the humor of that show was right up my ally. I still say “Que a couple le fromage?” and “poo gas” to this day.

        My kids love Pinky and the Brain, so the target age group still seems to like them. I’d say the Looney Tunes aged fairly well from a humour perspective, although some scenes are pretty offensive in this day and age.
