Good Morning, Mickey! is an animated series that aired on the Disney Channel in the 1980s. It featured classic cartoons from Walt Disney Productions, similar to Donald Duck Presents. Although Mickey Mouse shorts, without surprise, were the primary programming, additional cartoons featuring Goofy, Donald Duck, Chip and Dale, Pluto, and others were also shown. The show premiered on April 18, 1983. at 7:00am (EST), making it the first program to ever air on The Disney Channel. Inititially airing for a full hour on weekdays and a half-hour on weekends, the show as split into two half-hour "parts" in September 1983. In May 1985, the show was reduced to a single half-hour.
In 1992, Good Morning, Mickey! was replaced with the similar Mickey's Mouse Tracks, just as how Donald Duck Presents was replaced with Donald's Quack Attack.

Revival[]
Although Good Morning, Mickey no longer airs on Disney Channel or its sister channels in the United States as of the 2000s, reruns of Good Morning, Mickey were still shown on television outside the United States, especially Disney Channel outside the United States.
These modern reruns differed slightly from the original 1980s airing although still airing the same cartoons; as these have a slightly altered opening with different Disney cartoon footage in the opening (albeit the theme song still plays as normal), and most of the cartoon footage used in the altered opening are new trasnfers from the early 1990s. Also, each episode has been remastered from their original 1980s television prints with each cartoon originally containing the altered front-and-end titles, and have the 1998 Buena Vista International logo added at the end of each episode's end credits.
The video in this link here is an example of a modern rerun of Good Morning, Mickey with the slight alterations as mentioned above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qg9tUvEJVY
