POLL: When WERE the 80's, anyway?

Just curious, and it may help sway some decisions we have to make about the next 1980's Saturday Morning Historical Reenactment Society Watch-Along (calm down, it won't be till December at the earliest)...

And I'd STILL be getting up to watch them if we had cable!!

No you wouldn't... there ARE no more Saturday Morning Cartoons any more! Or at least not like how *we* knew them :( You get 3 hours on FOX, a smattering on ABC and that's it unless you go PREMIUM and even then the only channel you're guaranteed to get cartoons on Saturday Morning with is "Boomerang".

This is why our work here at the 1980's Saturday Morning Historical Reenactment and Preservation Society is so important!

Agreed!

It makes me sad that it's really become a thing of the past.

Maybe in America, but in Australia there are still cartoons on Saturday morning...

NO WAY! Like, on ALL the channels just like we had in the 80's? SO JEALOUS!

Not all of the channels

Either 6 out of the 15 free to air digital channels,


or 3 out of the 5 free to air analogue channels (which are simulcast on the digital channels)
