Let me know which Saturday Morning shows you're looking forward to this season.
1: Does
The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show run for 2 hours this year on ABC? If so, that may be a factor in me checking out the rest of their lineup.
2: Also, reruns of Fraggle Rock are a plus.
3: Not only that, but the new preview special is great for ABC's lineup.
4: Perhaps it's time to retire the CBS Storybreak brand and give its slot(s) to another show or two next season.
5: Does Kenzo run for two episodes a week now?
6: Would SBC have something planned for the 8:00 timeslot? Or is it just local programming there?
7: Seeing Pooh Bear among the same ranks as Recess and Pepper Ann is just a treat to witness. And I like how the Backstreet Boys still get their cartoon show. However, perhaps Pooh's slot can be given to a newer show next year. I think Hercules: The Series could fit in that spot.
8: Overall, I think that I'd start my day in Elwood City on UPN, then channel hop to the 100 Acre Wood on Fox, followed by a stop at Toonsylvania on NBC, and finally spending the next 2-3 hours with Arnold, Mina, and Bugs Bunny on ABC. After that, I'll just spend the rest of my day doing homework and other things. In other words, ABC is actually the winner here.
