This Is the First Weekend in America With No Saturday Morning Cartoons

Just a thought: dudes say stuff like "its a shame my kids will be all up on their iPads"

Now, in the sense that they're engulfed in their electronics 24/7 that's bad. Same with tv.

But a certain generation woke up to radio. Another woke up to tv. That lasted a long time, but ipads and such are the new wave.

It's not a shame that I watched Freakazoid, Pepper Ann, Recess, Doug, etc when my dad was watching whatever he was watching. Ya know?

Time passes, life goes on.

Its cool to think back about good times but dudes be straight up flabbergasted that their kids won't care about Doug Funnie's adventures in Bluffington. :lol:

Dudes be like "these kids are all in their Ipods and Ipads" not even realizing that that's what the previous generation was saying about us and our Gameboys and Playstations, and the generation before that was saying that about them watching television, and so on and so forth. All the while ya'll on Instagram anyway.

Fools don't understand that this has been happening for centuries and will continue to happen. **** changes. Quit being crotchety old men and move on.

End of an era indeed. I shouldve seen this coming. I've never seen my little brother get up at 6 am ready for Saturday morning cartoons.
 
I guess reading the story didn't happen today

I read the whole story, what did I miss? The article is trying to make us seem old for no reason. As a guy who grew up worshipping Fox Kids Saturday mornings from Eek! The Cat to Power Rangers to Carmen Sandiego believe me when I tell you that article is ridiculous. What do we have to be all nostalgic for and want Saturday morning cartoons when YouTube exists now? Yes people, it's the future, embrace it. We can watch Superman the animated series on our phones, while in our car through a wireless signal coming from the sky. We don't have to wait for Saturday anymore :rolleyes
 
I'm confused about how the FCC mandating 3 hours of educational programming per week has to do with killing off Saturday morning cartoons.

An explanation would be appreciated

Instead of playing 30-60 minutes Monday through Thursday after school when the kids might actually watch it, they get rid of cartoons and play it all in one chunk early on Saturday morning. Now the poor kids who cant afford cable watch Family Guy and South Park, which plays in large 2 hour blocks on network TV. :smh:

This
 
Watching cartoons on a phone or ipod aint the same thing.

people used to bond with their families while watching tv together.
 
man im legit hurt...I feel bad for the kids growing up...cartoons and sports are how u build friendships as a kid
 
I mean these kids have nickelodeon and cartoonetwork so who cares honestly


They have completely different types of cartoons :smh:

After school and Saturday morning Fox kids had some of the best cartoons..


When I was growing up I watching cartoons on any channel than had shows I liked. ABC,Disney Channel , Fox, USA, Nick, Cartoon Network etc

This sounds good and all but you're leaving out the fact that our parents went outside to play and we played did too in addition to video games/TV. In the summer time as soon as it cooled down a little we went outside to ride bikes, play basketball, football etc. And we didn't go everywhere like restaurants with our Gameboys/Game gears/Discman :lol:



I've seen kids in the same house go home (same neighborhood) just to play video games online with the same people they were just with :rofl:
 
:lol:

They like to be comfortable when they droppin them n-bombs on xbox live

So my brother and nephew and two nieces who spent all day in the park today with their friends from school are just the odd ones out? Every other kid is a tech-addicted psychopath with no social skills? Children don't go out and play anymore?

And yes, me and my friends went everywhere with our Gameboys. It's why we had them; so we could take them everywhere. It was literally the purpose of their creation

So you see the same amount of kids in neighborhoods chilling/playing or in parks that you always did? Cars used to have to wait for us to get out of the way now I just ride through...I ride by the parks and I might see some dudes playing basketball that's about it.


So your parents used let you take your Gameboy or other devices inside a Resturant? :rolleyes You must be one of those Gameboy Advance babies.

I didn't know that there was elitism amongst which GB version you grew up with. no sir, I had the purple Gameboy Color with the clear plating so you could see all of the circuits and stuff inside of it.

  Of course, I upgraded to GBA and then SP when they came out, but I did not leave the house without my Color equipped with Pokemon Silver. Took that mug to school and everything

Nah that's just how you took it.

No need to be sensitive. "elitism" :rofl: :rofl: The type of gameboy or gameboys you had is pretty good indicator of age or age range :rolleyes It's not that deep.

You've completely missed my point :lol:

And the general public seriously over estimates the amount of children that are addicted to tech and don't play outside.
