Has either WTXF or WPHL ever aired the Super Mario Bros. cartoons at anytime in their history? I don't want WGBS airing the Super Mario Bros. cartoons because I don't want Super Mario cartoons to be on the same channel as Bozo The Clown was in that market. WGBS had the worst version of Bozo The Clown, besides I don't want Super Mario Cartoons on any station that has Bozo unless it has aired The Lionhearts. If I had a time machine I would get WPHL to air The Super Mario Bros. Super Show or Captain N and the Video Gamemasters or at least have WTXF to air it. This makes me sick to no end.
 
Neither one of those has ever aired any of the Super Mario cartoons at any time. I think it always came down to whoever was more interested in airing any of those shows on their cartoon lineup or whoever won the bidding for them. Besides, WGBS wasn't all that bad when it came to having Bozo which aired in the morning with Inspector Gadget and Bugs Bunny cartoons, as well as the Super Mario Super Show and Ninja Turtles on at 4 & 4:30 which was probably the best hour of cartoons on during that time, unless WTXF was airing DuckTales and Rescue Rangers during that hour (they would usually air that hour at 4 & 4:30 and then later on at 3:30 & 4 when they started airing Fun House at 4:30 in the spring of 1990), then THAT was probably the best hour of cartoons on during that time.

WTXF was already airing the Disney Afternoon (albeit one half in the morning and the other half at 3 & 3:30) and Tiny Toon Adventures around the same time WGBS was airing Super Mario and they also still had ThunderCats, Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons and the Woody Woodpecker Show (1987) to fill the lineup, so I doubt they would have spent any more to add it to the lineup in 1989-1991. Plus, WGBS was owned by Combined Broadcasting during that time, of which I think aired The Super Mario Super Show on all of their stations as well as Ninja Turtles, so you can see why both of those would be on WGBS rather than WPHL or WTXF.
 
Some cartoons I forgot about:

WTXF:
