Poll of the Day > The Annual: Did you watch Kids WB or Fox Kids on Saturday Morning growing up

(+) Yeah! (+)

Kids WB all the way, although I wish I watched Digimon. Looking back, that looked way cooler than Pokmon Filler.

Luckily WB had:

Pokmon (when good)
Batman Beyond
Jackie Chan Adventures
CardCaptors
Yu Gi Ohhhhhh
X Men Evolution
---

Fox kids had all the cool shit
---

Neither. Being Canadian I probably watched more YTV as a kid.

As an adult, I had a preference for Fox 4Kids TV because I'm entranced by Winx Club.
---

Neither. We didn't have cable or satellite. Also am Canadian, so only thing we got with our tiny little TV antenna was CBC.
---

Fox Kids, Kids WB wasn't a thing when I was a kid, although I did like watching Animaniacs as a teenager once it went to Kids WB.
---

I don't remember which had what, but looking at the line-up, probably both, plus Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
---

mostly fox kids. when I was an actual kid, WB didn't exist yet. there was Fox but also way back in the early 90's and in the 80's I think other channels did cartoons too. like cbs and abc. over time they stopped and it became just fox and WB. saturday morning cartoons used to be a major industry. you had lots of choices in the early days

ya know what i miss the most about saturday morning cartoons? the feeling kids had when they rushed into the living room with a bowl of cereal ready to watch their favorite shows

i don't think kids really do that anymore
---

Both (and One Saturday Morning) but mostly Kids WB. During my family's few brief "less poor" moments, I'd usually stick to Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel.

Fox Kids obviously. Where else would you find Digimon, Monster Rancher, Medabots, and Power Rangers all on the same network? Oh and at first, Pokemon and Digimon were both on Fox, despite being "rivals".
---

I remember I watched both, and if Pokemon and Digimon were on at the same time, I used the VCR to record one so I could watch it later.

This, except for the Fox part. When -I- was a kid, "Fox Kids" didn't really exist as a thing either.

Fox Kids started around 1990, and the Kids' WB didn't start until 1995, but my Saturday morning cartoon years were mostly between 1983 and 1988 (or, from about 6 years old to 11 years old). I kind of tapered off around the time I headed into middle school, though I still watched some stuff in syndication, like older cartoons on the USA Cartoon Express or stuff like DuckTales and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. And being a geek, I obviously watched stuff like Batman: the Animated Series when it came out.

That being said, Wikipedia is actually awesome about listing the TV schedules of various channels for every given year, going back decades:

Now I remember hating that TMNT and Beetlejuice were on at the same time. I always had to pick one or the other...
---

I was no longer a kid when those things were around. I remember watching the Smurfs and Scooby Doo on TBS as well as David the Gnome.

Yeah, YTV was my jam. Watched The Zone every night. I only remember Carlos and Sugar, there were lots of hosts before that but they changed like every couple months.
---

being British, i rarely saw either due to a brother hogging the TV most of the time ( saw a lot of Toonami though which was the shit) had an old VHS of Digimon that still had the "Fox Kids" outro though and watched a bit of it when it changed over to Jetix

most of my Saturday Morning cartoons though were CITV or CBBC, i enjoyed both though CITV usually had the better international shows (power rangers, spongebob, totally spies) while CBBC usually stuck to home grown sketches and live action shows with a couple of decent cartoons thrown in.
---

Fox Kids was better in the 90s but wb was superior in the early 2000s with their superhero lineup
---

I'll say a mix of both since we had something else in Canada, YTV. It had a mix of WB, Fox and Nick cartoons.
---

who else is surprised nobody ever tried to do a fox kids reboot sort of website?

i mean we've seen the same for nicktoons and toonami but never fox kids....i guess you could throw in CBS Kids shows too if there's not enough content there
---

Fox Kids on Saturdays, and Kids' WB on weekdays.
---

You know what was shit? Fox Box. They sold off all their best shows along with Fox Kids as part of the deal to sell Fox Family to Disney.
---

Fox Kids had Spider-Man. I used to blast the theme and wake my parents up. X-Men and The Tick was also on it.

I did like Ultimate Muscle a little bit, but it was no Digimon.
