Yeah, BTAS aired on Fox Kids and Fox Adults (as the Watchtower Database guys like to put it). It all depended on when new episodes dropped.

Speaking of this subject, my buddies and I do a podcast and pop-culture. We do a quick versus series sometimes and this is one of the subjects we intend to do at some point - Saturday Morning cartoons VS Weekday Morning/Afternoon Cartoons **UPDATE** So I have a few random issues of TV-Guide that I kept from childhood from the 1980s and 1990s...I looked at an issue from summer '93 and TMNT was on Sat mornings then. Maybe it was only on Saturdays later on? I stopped watching around '91 or '92 probably.

Going back to Turtles, it wasn't even on Fox here in LA. It was KCOP-13, which was just one of the local stations here in Los Angeles at the time that wasn't an affiliate and was an independent (it eventually became a UPN station in the mid 1990s and is now a Fox affiliate I think). **And I just realized you meant it started on Fox on its Saturday run. I need to read posts more carefully! lol**

Disney took over weekday afternoons in the 90s. By that time I was in my teens, but I always checked to see if there any badass cartoons like we had in the 80s. Alas, there were none that I remember.

Yup! The Disney afternoon kicked off August/September '89. I'm a huge Disney nut BTW, so even though I was in my early teens in 1991-1995, I still enjoyed the Disney Afternoon. You didn't like Gargoyles though? Felt more like BTAS in tone and was more dark and mysterious. I thought that show was decent back then. Haven't watched it since though.

By about '91, new episodes aired on Saturdays exclusively on CBS. Gargoyles wasn't bad. It was cool hearing actors from Star Trek: TNG in an animated series. Unfortunately, nothing came close to the awesomeness of Thundercats, G.I. Joe, and Transformers. |

Indeed it was!
Weird, I only remember the REAL Ghostbusters and TMNT being on weekdays back then (GB was usually on in the afternoon between 2-4p and TMNT was always on in the AM when I was getting ready for school at like 7 or 8am). May have also depended on the region you lived too. I only remember BTAS being on weekday afternoons too ( like 3-5pm). **UPDATE** So I have a few random issues of TV-Guide that I kept from childhood from the 1980s and 1990s...I looked at an issue from summer '93 and TMNT was on Sat mornings then. Maybe it was only on Saturdays later on? I stopped watching around '91 or '92 probably. Both of them actually premiered as Saturday Morning shows first, technically. Quote:
I've got a BTAS coffee table book where they list them in airdate order and they're all over the place. Mercifully the DVD set is in production order. Last edited by GeoffDes; 10-05-2022 at 08:43 PM.. |

Real GB an TMNT actually had separate packages for syndication and network. Watch the Toy Galaxy Ep , Dan breaks it down fairly conclusively - the ABC eps were pretty tame, whereas the syndication episodes where the crazy stuff. TMNT wasn't as obvious a difference if memory serves. But ABC's influence was what caused the drastic changes in Real GB, like the way they changed Janine.
Both of them actually premiered as Saturday Morning shows first, technically. It's also been 30-35 years now...might just be I can't remember well now. Quote:
Heck yeah! Loved the voice actors in Gargoyles, there were some great actors in that show - main and guest roles. Keith David was great as the main gargoyle too! I agree, the '80s cartoons were the best. Were you into M.A.S.K., RoboTech or Voltron at all? Three other shows that I was obsessed with back in the '80s!

MASK was my favourite show from outside the top tier... but unfortunately it aired at the same time I had hockey on Saturdays in 1988 or whenever it was. It was one of the first shows I sought copies of when people started posting stuff online.
The real down period for me was that 89 - 91 strech, where the dominance of TMNT overrode pretty much every other attempt to create an action cartoon (or all you had were TMNT rip-offs, for good or ill). Thankfully X-Men came along, and then BTAS showed up and redefined cartoons. |
