Think back... You're a kid, it's Saturday Morning cartoons and you've got a bowl of cereal. What are you watching/eating?

I was up before the stations were even broadcasting.
Then it was Barbapapa with Rice Crispies.
I was big into The Smurf's also.

I dunno either. Terrible show. :P
Haha. Same. Now I'm just daydreaming about the good old days.
Saturday was mostly Fox, Nick, and later WB for me. Xmen/Power Rangers on Fox, NickToons (Doug, Rugrats, Rocko) on Nick, and Animaniacs/Superman/Freakazoid on WB.
A lot of other shows mentioned were on the weekday before school for my time. That was a lot of Sailor Moon (thanks for the anime exposure Dic), Garfield, Pizza Cats, etc.

I'm having my innocence shattered and my mind blown watching fully uncensored Eva-01 goring the fuck out of Eva-03 aka Bardiel, and probably too awestruck to eat my cereal. We're talking like 7 or 8 in the morning.
I've obviously watched more stuff, but that stuck with me very vividly. I thought it was mind-blowing at the time. Now my mind is blown, but because back home simply because it looked like cartoons, it was assumed it was automatically aimed at kids. Maybe it was the same everywhere else.

It was usually a mix because the segment that was on in the morning only played a series for a week or so then it would jump to another, so pretty much all of these:
- Pokemon indigo
- DBZ
- DB
- Rugrats
- The Wild Thornberrys
- Arthur
- Hey Arnold!
- TMNT
- Spiderman (the meme one)
- Spongebob
- Dexter's Laboratory
- Samurai Jack
- Cat Dog
- Courage the Cowardly Dog
- Yu-gi-oh
- Digimon Adventure
- Inspector Gadget
- Jackie Chan Adventures
- Naruto
- Rocket Power
- One Piece
- Captain Planet
There's probably some important ones that I missed but that's all I remember off the top of my head.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, always.
Probably Pokemon or Yu Gi Oh. Those were the first shows I remember actively trying to catch every new episode each week when I was around 9-10.

X-Men The Animated Series while eating frosted flakes with sliced banana. They're greeeeeeaaat!
Garfield and Friends, Bobby's World...
Has WHERE'S WALDO gotten mentioned yet? Great theme song:
Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Jackie Chan Adventures, X-Men Evolution, Batman Beyond...
Pokemon of course.
Doug, Recess, Pepper Ann...
I have 3 younger siblings so Saturday Morning cartoons were a thing for the entire 90s for me.
For cereal, it changed a lot, but this thread has me nostalgic for Kix/Berry Berry Kix.

I was flipping between the various channels, but my Saturday morning watching usually consisted of
Pee-Wee's Playhouse
Gummi Bears
A Pup Named Scooby Doo
Flintstone Kids
He-Man
GI Joe
Thundercats
Voltron
Comic Strip
X-Men (when it was on weekends)
Garfield and Friends
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
The Littles
The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show (and the other Looney Tunes varient shows they'd air on Saturday mornings)
Muppet Babies
Duck Tales
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
And a ton of others I can't think of at the moment. I grew up in the 80's, so I pretty much watched every cartoon that was on tv that Saturday. There was no shortage of cartoons to watch, just limited time, and lots of channels to flip back and forth between.
I was usually eating cereal of some kind, like Fruity Pebbles, Cap'N Crunch, Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, ir their discount store version since we were poor. Or Pop Tarts. Then I'd cap it off with WWF Wrestling around noon, and go outside to play with my friends.
Saturday Morning cartoons were great. Such nostalgia...
This video brings me back. I watched most of these:

Despite being born in the 90s, I don't consider myself a 90s kid. My morning slate started at 8 (since the 7:00 cartoons were pretty lame) and I switched over between Fox Kids, Kids WB and ABC Kids. I sometimes watch Nick on CBS and Discovery Kids on certain shows. My morning lasted from 7 all the way to 2:00 where we watched TBN's Bibleman and Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible (only because it was the only cartoon showing after 1).
Not watching cartoons, watching ultraviolent territorial pro wrestling instead- I got like 4-5 hours of it every Saturday morning as a kid instead.
Tearing up the roof of my mouth by eating Captain crunch w/ Crunchberries while watching duck tales, rescue rangers and tailspin.
It's been so long I can't even remember which cartoons were in the afternoons or on Saturday. I know I was big into:
-Thundercats
-Silverhawks
-GI Joe (I remember the earlier series and then when it started to get more campy than it already started out as, when Cobra Commander had that weird armored suit and there was a Cobra guy with mini missile launchers on his back and limbs)
-Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future (not a cartoon really, but basically lumped in with them by the networks)
-Voltron
-TMNT
-Muppet Babies
I was still watching cartoons in the mid 90s in my early teens, and from what I recall:
-Spider-Man
-X-Men (THIS is the show that got me into comics for several years, and quite possibly into drawing)
-Exosquad (reasonably sure this was a weekday show actually)

I'm watching wrestling on Saturday morning or shit like family double dare or wild n crazy kids. Or I'm going outside to play.
I actually never really watched those Saturday cartoons that were made to sell toys. Probably because if I wanted to watch cartoons I flipped to Nick or Cartoon Network. Since they played cartoons all day, Saturday mornings held no special interest in my mind.
But back to my earliest memories, I was a Cocoa Pebbles or Frosted Flakes kind of kid.
Became Cinnamon Toast Crunch or bust around middle school.
