Dungeons & Dragons, before that it was Bugs Bunny. Weekdays it was reruns of 1940s Tom and Jerry cartoons with all the violence intact.

X-Men
X-men '97 is a worthy successor of you haven't already seen it!
Seen it, enjoyed it! Thanks!
The GOAT
Loved watching Batman & Pinkie and the Brain. Freakazoid was the rare one.
Jackie Chan Adventures
Animaniacs
Histeria
Freakazoid
Jackie Chan Adventures always made my day, the little messages from Jackie at the end of each episode were the height of my week back then
Freakazoid has to be drawn heavily from Robin Williams and his Genie from Aladdin
Reboot!
Road Runner and Wile E Coyote was my favorite. It was somewhat rare in amongst all the WB morning cartoons. The rare one I always looked out for and almost never saw: Catch the Pidgeon (Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines)
Foghorn leghorn was always my absolute favorite
The Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Show, Thundarr the Barbarian, Dungeons and Dragons, Gummi Bears
A man of culture, here. I concur, good sir!

I'm sure there's one or two I'm forgetting but if any of those were on the TV, I was watching it.
Captain N was so weird when you think about it as an adult: Isekai of the week, done as a commercial for video games.
It worked, though, and I loved it too!
Samurai Jack. I still enjoy it as an adult (an interesting case study in storytelling using a minimum of voice/narration).
Static Shock
Pee-Wee’s Playhouse!
HAAHA
Eek! The cat
TMNT and GI Joe.
Actually, I can't recall if those were Saturday morning cartoons or daily ones.

changed as new ones came up. I remember being excited with battle of the planets and isis but later thundar the barbarian seemed way cool. The D&D one especially the bow and eventually the transformers but by that time I was getting the you are too old for cartoons thing. Still not sure at what point I will think im too old.
Sonic Underground
Bugs Bunny
Jonny Quest
The Thunderbirds
The Flinstones
The Jetsons
Beanie and Cecil
Roger Ramjet
Rocketship 7 with Dave Thomas
That 90s Tex Avery show. Though, admittedly I think it was a weekday morning show, so probably doesn't fit...
Its about whatever you watched on sat morning, not how ubiquitous the shows syndication was. Same with rare, its rare for YOU im asking about :)
Gummy Bears!
Just looked it up now and am pleasantly surprised it still rates a 7.5 on IMDB so I wasn't necessarily watching complete tat 😁 https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0088528/
Bobby’s World
Thundercats. Teenage mutant ninja turtles. Randomly heathcliffe, Garfield, James Bond jr, captain planet, GI Joe.
Saturday mornings were mostly looney toons and roadrunner type stuff.
Old School Bugs & Daffy. The Pink Panther. Scooby Doo. Jam out with the Schoolhouse Rock. Then after lunch, This Week in Baseball, American Bandstand, Soul Train & Wide World of Sports.
BEAST WARS!
Ulysse 31.
Rare for me was Nickelodeon, or any premium cartoon channel really. I only saw their cartoons during free trials growing up. No Spongebob for me. I had Y-TV and PBS mainly. Some cartoons mirrored from Fox Kids. Stuff like that. I also had a nearby library. We did have Comedy Central.
Futurama was my favorite for sure.
Younger me loved Rupert, especially the mirror dimension episode.
Also, which shows were rare: meaning, you looked out for them and felt lucky when you caught them but that you didnt often get to see?
That makes it easy: Sonic the Hedgehog. SonicSatAM. The darker, more anime-like series.
It is forever burned in my mind, and I only ever saw like 6 whole episodes. It came on at like 5am. 😩
That villain guy with the shades and the handlebar mustache was made for tv
Spiderman, the Paul Soles version.
The OG Looney Tunes.
There was this Peter Pan and the Pirates show I really liked and I never see recognition in the eyes of others when I mention it, but it was on every afternoon as a kid in addition to Sat mornings.

Wiley coyote and road runner, and Tom a Jerry.
More withing my era, rocket power, CatDog, and other golden age nickelodeon shows.
Don't know if actually Saturday mornings but The Gumby Show, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Thunderbirds. Spiderman was Saturday mornings for sure.
All were rare, TV was in parents bedroom until I was in middle school and I needed permission to watch.
I saw reboot, TMNT, and Tex Avery mentioned which were a few good favorites.
A couple of others I haven't seen mentioned yet would be Wild C.A.T.S. and Street Sharks.
Classics like Bugs Bunny and Animaniacs were always good. Doug. Pepper Anne.
Ones that most people have forgotten or didn't know because they weren't exposed to Canadian shows as a kid:
Science Court was on ABC's One Saturday Morning and I loved it. Technically a Sunday morning one, but The Smoggies for the Canadian people here that are of a certain age! The Raccoons (another Canadian one)
Pretty much anything rare rare for me. I often wasn't up early enough or didn't think to watch them.
Shaman King and Digimon ♥️
Hong Kong Phooey (number one super guy)!
