Episodes
-
ThunderCats - Cotton Candy for Your Brain
In episode 21, Jess asks Kelly about the cartoon that she holds near and dear to her heart: ThunderCats. While many of the choices made in this show are baffling, one thing can’t be denied: at some point, we all wanted to be cat people.

-
Avatar the Last Airbender - This Absolutely Contains Spoilers
Episode 16 is late but conveniently relevant! It's the show everybody's talking about because Netflix just added it: Nickelodeon's Avatar: the Last Airbender. We do talk about a lot of plot points in detail so if you don't want to be spoiled, go watch the show first. Thanks for listening!
-
Jonny Quest - We Swear a Lot in this One
Episode 15 gets a Content Warning! Spoilers, but JQ is racist af and we talk about that a lot. So, we just want to give you all a head's up for descriptions of racist, imperialist content and we totally understand if you're not up for listening to that. Saturday Morning Rewatch is part of the...

Rocko's Modern Life - Welcome to Heck!
In episode 14, Kelly and Jess discuss that classically, objectively bizarre NickToon: Rocko's Modern Life. Whether you love it or hate, it's certainly uh... different? Saturday Morning Rewatch is part of the [Adjective]Sphinx Network. Follow @AdjectiveSphinx on Twitter to join the conversation.

Inspector Gadget - Cyborg or Android? You Decide.
In episode 9, Kelly and Jess lament the abscence of thought and imagination in the 80s cartoon Inspector Gadget. But hey, at least the theme song's catchy. Saturday Morning Rewatch is part of the [Adjective]Sphinx Network. Follow @AdjectiveSphinx on Twitter to join the conversation!

The Pirates of Dark Water - Welcome to the 90s
In episode 8, Kelly & Jess get back to the 90s with the Pirates of Dark Water. Maybe you loved this show, or maybe you never saw it at all, as this cartoon got canceled after only 21 episodes. Despite being the shortest cartoon we've watched so far, the Pirates of Dark Water sets the stage for…

She-Ra - Girls Like Toys Too
In episode 7, Kelly & Jess talk about the fabulous femme Princess of Power in the He-Man spinoff series, She-Ra. She-Ra may not quite achieve the ridiculous levels of camp that He-Man does, but the show clearly inspires many future cartoons aimed at little girls. Saturday Morning Rewatch is part…

He-Man - We Have So Many Questions
In episode 6, Kelly & Jess experience the fabulous powers of Grayskull as they rewatch the 1980s cultural icon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. There's no adequate way to explain this one - you just have to experience it for yourself. We also recommend checking out David Chlopecki's...
-
Rugrats - Be Like Tommy
In episode 5, Kelly & Jess discuss the ubiquotous Nicktoon Rugrats. Whether you loved it, hated it, or just watched it because it was on all the time, you almost certainly still remember that theme song.

-
Captain Planet - The Power is Not Yours
In episode 4, Kelly and Jess rewatch Captain Planet and the Planeteers, and discuss the many ways in which this 90s environmentalist propoganda doesn't quite hold up over the decades. To make up for the awful experience of rewatching Captain Planet as adults, we recommend Don Cheadle's Funny or…

Samurai Jack
In episode 3, Kelly & Jess express their undying love for the early-2000s cartoon Samurai Jack. This is the first episode we recorded, so apologies for the sound quality! We didn't know what we were doing when we recorded this one, but we still think the conversation is worth sharing. :) We hope...

Gargoyles
In episode 2, Kelly and Jess rewatch Gargoyles and talk about how much we loved it as kids and how much we still love it, what surprised us, what impressed us, and how much we hope they never make a bad CGI movie out of it. Saturday Morning Rewatch is part of the [Adjective] Sphinx Network.…
