Saturday morning cartoons are on the way out? This article is about Fox's decision to be the first of the big 4 networks to axe the tradition...
When I was 8-years-old, this was my weekend routine:
8:00am: Snorks![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hNwDlT3UfyI/SSrp7E_3wsI/AAAAAAAAAKw/9X2MczCvEDs/s200/snorks.jpg)

Looking back - I may have been slightly obsessed with shorter-than-average animated characters.
Muppet Babies was the best! :)
ReplyDeleteThey axed all my favorite Saturday morning cartoons in Junior Highschool; back when the WB(CW now) decided to get rid of their line-up. ><
ReplyDeleteThe end of an era. Luckily my dad is a Looney Toon freak so we have the majority of them on DVD.
ReplyDeleteThey stopped showing the good stuff a long time ago.
Saturday cartoons have stunk for a while now. The only good place to find cartoons now is "Boomarang". It's a great channel. Ethan loves it. "Yopgi Bear, Scooby Doo, Pink Panther, etc.. Good stuff".
ReplyDeleteBut as I recall my Saturday mornings involved the super friends hour, Spider Man and his amazing friends, and for one season Kidd Video. (Nothing better than a teen rock band getting sucked into a another world called the "flipside" with a bad guy called "Master Blaster". Wow, that was awful.)
I forget about the Snorks! That's awesome!
