  For those of us who discovered this train with all the Hanna Barbera characters inside it there was no better time to be a kid than during this time. The only thing I missed more than this was being able to watch cartoons on Saturday morning on all 3 major networks at that time

  My cable company didn&apos;t get Cartoon Network until the late &apos;90s for some reason, so I remember watching the DiC library of cartoons on USA back in the day. All the <i>Super Mario Bros.</i> shows, <i>Fantastic Max,</i> <i>Ri¢hie Ri¢h...</i> man, I had so much fun.

  I didn&apos;t get cable in my house until the late 80&apos;s, so whenever I went over to one of my Aunts&apos; house, I got to watch all of classic cartoons on the USA Cartoon Express! GREAT TIMES!❤

  I remember watching Cartoon Express when it started back in 1982, when the cartoons were Devlin, Wheelie And The Chopper Bunch, The Roman Holidays, Inch High Private Eye, &nbsp;Young Samson and Goliath, and the Space Kidettes. &nbsp;In 1984, they added Space Stars, which included episodes of Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Teen Force, and Astro &amp; The Space Mutts, Help! &nbsp;It&apos;s The Hair Bear Bunch, The Great Grape Ape Show, Clue Club, Speed Buggy, Jana of the Jungle, The Buford Files and The Galloping Ghost. &nbsp;In 1985, they added Yogi Bear abs Friends. &nbsp;In 1987, The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show and the Flintstones Comedy Show were added. &nbsp;When the Sci-Fi Channel started in 1992, there was a block of cartoons similar to the Cartoon Express called the Sci-Fi Cartoon Quest, which included a lot of sci-fi cartoons, namely &nbsp;Transformers, Defenders of the Earth, Robotech, and a few Supermarionation shows like Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett and the Mysterons.
