I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Sure, looking back, a lot of those cartoons sucked, (quality is on average much higher these days) but it was more about the ritual and the expectation. Saturday morning TV was for me.
As a parent of young children I've learned that Saturday morning cartoons are actually for my wife and I to have a moment to ourselves.
I've got a hankerin' for a hunk of cheese!
Yeah most of those used to be shit but it was like a ritual every weekend. Are Saturday morning cartoons not a thing anymore?
They got replaced by 24 hour dedicated children's channels, which in turn got replaced by streaming.
I'm not that old! I had Nickelodeon and Disney Channel and Cartoon Network, but there were still Saturday morning cartoons on WB and PBS. The Saturday morning cartoons weren't as good as the others but it was still something special about the mornings.
