I feel bad for kids these days. They don't get the kind of programming us old folks got back in the 90's.

We had the Disney Afternoon to look forward to after school, which gave us Chip n Dale, Talespin, Darkwing Duck and Goof Troop. (Fox got in on that too with their own block of programming, which gave us Tiny Toons, Taz-Mania, Bobby's World, Goosebumps, Power Rangers, Life with Louie, etc.)

And Saturday Morning was all-out war between the networks. ABC, CBS and FOX all went head-to-head, giving us classics like Pee-Wee's Playhouse, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Eek! The Cat, Garfield and Friends, Super Mario Bros. Super Show, Bump in the Night, Recess, etc.

Now you look at Saturday Mornings and it's all news, sports and informercials. Bollocks.

I'm just amazed kidsWB / CW for kids/ Vortexx survived this long. It surpassed even fox kids

Truly the end of the Saturday morning cartoon routine as some of us know it..

Saturday Morning programming: 1950-2014

Too much infos, too many sports shows and weekday afternoon line-ups got assassinated the moment we entered the 21st Century. The descent of Man

NBC shows cartoons/kids programming on Saturday and Sunday still.

Yeah, but isn't that aimed at the younger kids; like the Nick Jr. group?

I remember even when the cartoons went off, we still had wrestling to look forward to afterwards.

It's all reruns now, and that's if you don't watch sports.

I've woken up every Saturday Morning over the last few weeks asking "which of NBC or CBS will have golf on TV this weekend?"

One of the most boring TV sports ever is golf.

Does anything good even come on Saturday nights besides SNL?

 

[Primal Slayer]

So sad. To think back in the day I could come home from school and watch WB toons or Fox Toons or something toons that wasnt Cartoon Network. I could wake up on a saturday and sunday morning and watch fox toons, or wb toons, or abc toons. Life sucks.

 

[Victarion]

RIP. I remember waking up to watch gen one Pokémon and Digimon on Saturday mornings.

You guys forget though that kids now have Youtube, TiVo, Hulu, and Netflix. Plus any savvy twelve year old can find whatever they want online for free.

Kids today have more choices than we could have imagined twenty years ago.

They can watch almost whatever they want whenever they want.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It's not the same.

 

[Thundercrack85]

It's not the same.

Indeed. It's better.

 

[PyroChamber]

And most of the good shows we use to watch we can buy on DVD/blu-ray now.

 

[Doc Ock]

Indeed. It's better.

I don't know about that, especially considering children.

I watch Dateline, 48 Hours and if there's one, a UFC event.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I wonder what this ending means for the Spider-Man and Justice League animated series?
