Has anyone noticed that Saturday Morning programming for children is practically non-existent? I can remember watching animated shows such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Garfield, Doug, Recess, and even classic cartoons like Bugs Bunny. Today, ABC is playing Disney shows and CBS is playing Nickelodeon shows. NBC doesn't have much of anything. Isn't Saturday morning supposed to be for watching cartoons?

Six key factors have led to children watching less Saturday morning cartoons: more recreational sports, the introduction of cable and satellite TV, the Internet and video games, a poorer quality of animation, and a greater emphasis on family time. These factors are rather self-explanatory with the exception of the latter: the divorce rate of Americans now stands at 49 percent, and time on the weekends has become more precious for children as many commute between parents’ houses. For parents who only have limited access to their children due to either divorce or career advancement, plopping them down in front of the television for five hours on a Saturday morning is no longer a viable option. Among most parents, divorced or not, there is a new emphasis on "quality" time. Consequently, taking one’s children to the theater, mall, museum, event, zoo or beach on the weekend is deemed more appropriate to being a "good" parent, than letting kids sit and watch cartoons. To this effect, American society has changed substantially enough over the last two decades to the point where Saturday morning cartoons are less important to our culture.

It's not just Saturday mornings...
I remember as a child being able to watch all my Saturday morning cartoons until at least noon. I also remember being able to catch really great shows all throughout the week...
Anyone even remember shows like: Facts of Life, Full House, Small Wonder, He-Man, Gummi Bears...
It seems that now ... the only thing people want to watch is about sex, drugs, and partying...

Saturday morning programming sucks! I can remember getting up at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday morning and watching cartoon until noon (or later). Now you get news until about 10 or 11, then the rest of the programming is crap! Or infomercials.

Saturday morning cartoons a now no longer great because of actuality cartoons are on 24/7. We did no longer have that as babies. Saturday morning grew to develop into like our television time. and that i do bypass over the insects Bunny and Tom and Jerry cartoons. My popular ones, besides the actuality that were the Disney cartoons. they have been a lot relaxing. i imagine like now, besides the actuality that, Disney has gotten all computing gadget, and is afraid to make some thing better positive than a "education" sketch. Its no longer all pertaining to to the leisure anymore.

I always thought so. So, I went on-line and bought the entire looney tunes collection and Saturday morning cartoons are alive and well in our house.
