Some of us had schools close enough to get to in time after the cartoons ended. In the US, cartoons started at 7am. I stopped watching at 8am and left for school. It was close enough for me to walk to before classes started at 8:30am. The kids would hang out in the schoolyard, discussing the latest episodes before the doors let the kids in. School ended at 3pm and then I had to dash home to see the cartoons.

This was FOX29 in the Philly area during 1984:

3:00pm Thundercats
3:30pm He-Man
4:00pm Transformers
4:30pm G.I. Joe

Cartoons did come on during Saturday mornings, but they were on all of the major stations (before Saved by the Bell and news took over) from 6am to 1pm.
