Kids today will never experience the same anticipation we felt waiting for our Saturday morning cartoons nor the disappointment in not getting up early enough to watch one of our shows.

I'm pushing 60 and I still reminisce Saturday morning cartoons from the mid 60's to the early 00's watching them with my daughter (now she's 32).

As a kid of the 1980’s I can honestly say that Saturday Morning Cartoons were a big part of life. Saturday morning cartoons is what started my fandom of all things in the geek culture. I can’t imagine a world without Marvel Superhero’s, GIJoe, Transformers, and the list goes on and on. It was a great time to be a kid and whether it was for the better or the worse, Saturday morning cartoons have definitely made an impact on my life and I know I’m not the only one.

Just glad I got to experience it as a kid in the 70s. The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show was absolute GOLD.

The whole world was shut out on Saturday morning....it was just me in my pajamas, my big bowl of whichever sugar filled cereal my grandmother would buy for me when she took me shopping on Friday afternoon, and 3 channels of colorful greatness for a few hours before lunch and an afternoon in my homemade superhero or ninja suit as I played til bedtime.....like Eddie Money said, "I Wanna Go Back"....

My opinion on Saturday Morning cartoons is that they are a reward for kids. You got through 40 hours of school plus however many were dedicated to extracurriculars your parents are making you participate in? Here's four hours just for stuff YOU like! Want more? You're gonna have to get up early! It was an escape for both overly pressured popular kids and the heavily harassed outcasts to alleviate their respective anxieties. It needs to come back if you ask me!

I was part of the Saturday morning cartoon generation.
