Some of this stuff, as I remember, was mostly aired weekdays after school.
Also, a lot of these are Nickelodeon cartoons, not strictly Saturday morning, and introduced in the late 80s/early 90s.
My thoughts would be to keep it limited to what was shown on Saturday mornings on the major American networks (ABC/CBS/NBC, maybe USA network if there is space available) no later than 1985.
Personally I don't think it matters if it was current material, syndicated fare from 60s and 70s, or even if it was animated. If the goal is to capture the true atmosphere of Saturday mornings from 1980-85, that atmosphere would necessarily include syndicated and non-animated shows (Rocky and Bullwinkle, Classic Bugs & Daffy, The Banana Splits, Krofft Super Show and Superstar Hour/Bay City Rollers)
Following it all up with a Saturday matinee showing of Planet of the Apes or something similar would just about nail it for what I remember...
