20 years ago NBC banned Saturday Morning Cartoons because of F.C.C.

posted by BuddyBoy600alt

Well in 1995, It was a very sad year for Saturday Morning cartoons. NBC was forced to banned Saturday Morning cartoons. It was demanded by the F.C.C. And that means no more Disney's Raw Toonage / Disney's Marsupilami, No more Alvin and the Chipmunks, No more Earthworm Jim, No more Super Mario Bros., and many more. That means NBC had to replace it with the Saturday edition of The Today Show and new live action teen sitcom called "TNBC". And that means Disney went on to CBS-TV for their shows (such as The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa).

Disney's Marsupilami - Jungle Fever (Raw Toonage)

added by BuddyBoy600alt

No folks, That Lion ain't Mufasa. That because The Lion King was not created until 1994. NBC had Disney's Raw Toonage / Disney's Marsupilami while CBS had Disney's The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa.

Saturday Mornings on NBC (Classic Memories)

posted by BuddyBoy600alt

I miss those old days when NBC had good shows for Saturday Mornings. Here some of my favorites:

* Disney's Raw Toonage - Raw Toonage was a Disney animated series. It was basically a variety show with a random Disney character as a host. And it features three shorts: Bonkers, Totally Tasteless Video, and my personal favorite, Marsupilami. Marsupilami is a yellow, spotted, long-tail marsupial who lives in a jungle with his gorilla friend: Maurice. And I love Marsupilami more than Bonkers. Both Bonkers and Marsupilami were spun-off.

* Camp Candy - An animated series starring the late John Candy...
