I think people around my age are the last to have stuff like Popeye and Woody Woodpecker.  That stuff was on after school constantly for me - I think the Universal Walter Lantz stuff was shown in blocks as I also remember Chilly Willy.

Yeah, I really think networks screwed that up when I was a kid. Even Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, which were on Cartoon Network, were usually shown around noon/1:00, which meant I couldn’t see them unless I was home sick from school. Thankfully, VHS’s, DVDs and On Demand cable services made them easier to access.

In Chicago the Popeye cartoons were occasionally combined with the Three Stooges on WFLD-Channel 32. In fact, the very first cartoon I ever saw played on late night television (circa 1980) was a black and white Popeye cartoon used to fill out a half-hour Three Stooges show. At the time, I thought it was a hoot for a cartoon to be shown on late night TV.
