Just a little market research:
What drove you crazy when you watched Saturday morning cartoons as a kid? Was there anything cartoons did that you found especially patronizing, or disappointing, or off-putting back then? Is there anything you'd wish they'd do, that they never did? Were there any cliches that you noticed even back then?
@Balinares Oh! Right! For you, probably nothing. :) I have no idea if the Saturday morning corporate broadcast-network cartoon block was a _thing_ or not in your area of the planet. :)
For your purposes, consider all cartoons targeted at an <18 audience appropriate for this question. "Saturday morning cartoons" is just so evocative of a certain time and place in the USA, saying it all as one phrase is a bit of a reflex.
@Balinares Oh, we sort of had those too, but those were kind of more of a Sunday morning thing? Instead of NBC, CBS, and ABC blasting SUPER DUDES in our faces, local stations would often devote the morning to some absurdly long block of cartoons, hosted by a local celebrity, ideally a mild creepy one. :) Those tended less towards 11/22 minute narratives like the Saturday morning cartoons, and more towards shorts and oldies. (This is basically what Krusty the Klown and Itchy and Scratchy parody.)
