I got the idea for this thread from this post made by pally...

he used to come on Nickelodeon every morning while I was waiting for the bus..
Whats shows did you watch of a mornings before school? I have a short list, but rather interesting...

* 1994-1998: I'd watch random cartoons naturally, I mean I was a little kid then, so what else am I going to watch?
* 1998-1999: When Pokemon was all-the-rage at that time, I'd watch that every single morning, then I remember going to school and having discussions.
* 1999: In addition to Pokemon, I'd watch Franklin on Nick Jr. back when the show was tolerable.
* 2000: With the success of the movie that summer, our local FOX station started airing The Bullwinkle Show, and I watched that every morning for that entire school year.
* 2001-2003: I'd just pop something into the VCR and watch that before I went off for school.
* 2003-On: I was homeschooled, so I didn't necessarily have to get up early since I could get my four hours in whenever I wanted.

A lot of them! Too many to remember. But had to start waking up entirely too early to watch TV before school when Middle school started. But I remember watching Sesame Street.

At first, I was thinking "Nothing" because I really didn't. But then when I saw this part of your post, Snowthy... it's not a show, but mostly in high school, instead of turning on the radio or a CD, I would pop a music-related video or something into the VCR and I would dance around before school to get myself going! I'm not a morning person at all, so something like that was always really fun for me. :big_grin:

What ever was on as well. But I don't really remember. But I'm not a morning person either, so I usually tried to get in as much sleep as I could before school. :smirk:

The thing I always, always watched, from about age six to twelve, was DuckTales. Not on TV always, mind you. Usually on tape.

He-Man & Transformers came on back-to-back, and then if we had cable at the time (which we didn't always), I'd flip over to Nick and watch part of Mr. Wizard before I had to leave.. that was elementary school.. I don't remember watching anything specific through later years

actually, though, this:

things I taped off TV in the middle of the night
reminded me that I would tape episodes of The Twilight Zone and Tales from the Darkside during the night and watch them later, though not necessarily before school

Oh hey, that reminds me, for a SHORT period of time, re-runs of Recess were coming on of those early morning hours, so I'd watch that.

There was also a short period of time where I was watching Animal Jam of the mornings.
