Saturday morning cartoons, where have they gone?

Aww man where to start... good 'ol saturday morning cartoons. Well sort of. Some were, but a bunch of my favorites I remember from being a kid weren't exclusively 'Saturday Morning Cartoons'.
The one that sticks out the most was Beast Wars. Man that show brings back memories. Loved sitting down and watching that show before school while eating cereal. My brother had all of his old transformers toys I used to mess with so guess that's sort of how I caught on to the show at that age. Looking back now the graphics make you chuckle but man was that show the shit back in the day.
Reboot was sort of similar. One thing I really remember about this show was all the 'To Be Continued..'s. Those always pissed me off. Always hated having to wait till next week to see what happened to whatever character.
Was always a fan of all the old cartoons too. Good 'ol Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner, The Jetsons, The Flinstones, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and one of my particular favorites Top Cat. Man that's when cartoons were good. Top Cat was the shit. Loved that cartoon. Almost all of these were made before my time but there used to be this awesome channel Boom that showed nothing but all of these old cartoons all the time.
I so wish all this terrible japan-i-mation crap would disappear. I am personally not a fan of anime. I just can't get into the art style and usually off the wall stories. Only anime I ever sort-of got into was Afro Ninja. Was pretty cool. I loved the art style of that show. I've been told by many that most of the anime shown is the crap and there actually is good anime but I've yet to find it and remain skeptical.
Breaking away from the nostalgia and Saturday morning bit I must mention Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. Oh man, that has to be one of the funniest fucking cartoons. Every episode has made me laugh my ass off. Aqua Teen Hunger Force has it's moments too. Family Guy is always great and used to love the old Simpsons back in the day. Sadly those are the only cartoons I can think of that are being made today or recently that I can stand to watch. Yet again I barely watch TV anymore due to the abundance of crap on it. Usually have it on for background noise though.
WTB old Saturday morning cartoons back. <3
Good times. Maybe I'll post another rambling about favorite TV shows in general later instead of just cartoons. Some good shows back in the day. Gogo MacGyver D:
