->''"They might have been cheap, they might have been corny, and they might have been designed to just sell merchandise, but that does not take away how much they meant to the people who grew up with them. ... For many people across the world, they will never forget the joy that Saturday Morning Cartoons brought to them, and how important it was to their childhood: a simple time when all you needed was a bowl of cereal and your favorite cartoon."''

If you're a kid nowadays and you're feeling the urge to watch some cartoons, be they WesternAnimation or {{Anime}}, you're really spoiled for choice. Cable and satellite television provide a virtual smorgasbord of animated options from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} to Creator/CartoonNetwork to Creator/DisneyXD, which can be watched at any time. And if none of these are to your liking, there are always On-Demand services, [=DVD=]s and Blu-rays, and, of course, online streaming via Creator/DisneyPlus, Website/YouTube, Creator/{{Netflix}}, etc.

[[MediaNotes/ANSIStandardBroadcastTVSchedule But it wasn't always this way]], [[WhenIWasYourAge as your family members who were born in the mid-to-late 20th century might tell you]].

[[AluminumChristmasTrees Back when televisions were rounded instead of flat, unseemly large and heavy, had antennae on top to pick up one of three or four networks or the local independent station(s) (and little knobs for which you physically had to go over to to change channels)]], getting your cartoon fix was a lot harder. The "Saturday-morning cartoon" format arose in TheSixties, as networks and advertisers alike realized the potential of an all-but-captive audience of schoolchildren who could camp out in front of the TV and veg out on three to four hours of animated goodness, enjoying a morning off from both school and church, while Mom and Dad were catching up on sleep lost during the work week.

This was an evolution of the "weekend matinee" blocks that movie theaters ran in the ''first half'' of the 20th century, in which back-to-back [[MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation cartoon shorts]], [[FilmSerial serial cliffhangers]], and [[{{Newsreel}} newsreels]] were shown on a continuous loop throughout the day until the feature films were screened in the evening. One could attend for the price of a single ticket, arriving at any point in the cycle and leaving once one got back to where one had come in. Saturday mornings thus constantly saw cinemas packed with rowdy FreeRangeChildren while their parents shopped and ran other errands... until TV arrived.

LimitedAnimation made it cost-effective for the networks to fill the entire time-frame this way, with the occasional live-action show here and there. Creator/WarnerBros' ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' and other theatrical cartoon shorts, originally aimed at an adult audience, experienced a renaissance as a result. (See also the SaturdayMorningKidsShow.) It was a big deal: many networks would even devote a UsefulNotes/PrimeTime evening slot in early fall to promoting their new Saturday morning lineup for the coming school year. As [[MoralGuardians parents']] [[MediaWatchdog groups]] began to flex their influence, however, the content of the shows began to become notoriously restricted until by UsefulNotes/TheEighties they severely restricted the very basis of {{conflict}} and almost unconsciously [[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong attacked the value of individualism in favor of groupthink]]. Ironically, at the same time lax oversight of the ''commercial'' exploits corporations were engaging in led to a constant stream of "[[MerchandiseDriven 30-minute toy commercials]]," peppered with actual commercials promoting various other toys, candies and [[ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs sugar-laden cereals]]. In a more constructive direction, networks began commissioning educational spots of which the best were entertaining as well such as ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' for ABC, ''Ask NBC News'' for NBC, and ''In the News'' for CBS.

However, the format's slow decline began in TheEighties with the rise of cartoons produced to run in MediaNotes/{{syndication}} (usually in short blocks aired before or after school hours and with more artistic freedom to be wilder than the TV networks dared to be), as well as the rise of home video and cable networks like Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and Creator/CartoonNetwork that shared the same demographic. Cartoons also competed with video games for screen time among younger people. By the TurnOfTheMillennium, the advent of such video-on-demand streaming formats such as the aforementioned [=YouTube=], Netflix and Hulu are likely what hammered in the final nail in the coffin for these blocks.

Over this same time, changing cultural norms around parenting in America also kept more kids away from TV on Saturday mornings. There was increasing social disapproval in the middle class toward children watching MerchandiseDriven TV for hours on end, and with the increase in households with both parents working as well as single parenthood, parents wanted to spend more "quality time" with their children, which often meant more activities outside the home on weekends. Colleges also began to factor extracurricular activities in admissions, which meant that [[EducationMama parents who wanted their kids to get into a good university]] would enroll them in activities like sports, as youth sports leagues tend to have competitions on Saturdays.

[[Creator/AmericanBroadcastingCompany ABC]], Creator/{{CBS}}, [[Creator/TheCW CW]], and Creator/{{NBC}} affiliates have since acquired syndicated Saturday morning lineups dominated by [[EdutainmentShow Edutainment Shows]] (E/I), in order to be compliant with FCC regulations. ABC started this trend in the fall of 2011 when they ceased its Saturday Morning lineup and bought a syndicated block supplied by a distribution company, Litton. CBS and CW affiliates also began carrying Saturday E/I blocks, also supplied by Litton. Creator/{{Fox}} ceded their time to a two-hour block of {{infomercial}}s that kids (and any adult 77 or younger) avoid like crazy, though some of their affiliates and O&Os have also bought up syndicated educational blocks. Creator/{{NBC}} was the last network to carry anything close to a traditional Saturday-morning block,[[note]]Ironically, it was the first network to drop cartoons from its lineup, in 1992.[[/note]] though in October of 2016, NBC discontinued this for a joint-venture Edutainment block with, once again, Litton. As it is, only Cartoon Network appeared to have a major showing on Saturday mornings, and even then, [[WesternAnimation/DCNation only action]]/[[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGO superhero cartoons]] are shown.
Creator/NatGeoWild also has a Saturday morning children's block, but it is educational and not all the programming is animated.

A bit of interesting trivia: In TheSeventies and '80s, Saturday-morning TV was a veritable cornucopia of cartoons, so many you had to pick which ones you wanted to see... however, just 24 hours later, ''Sunday'' morning was kind of frustrating for the kids who weren't church goers. Either the channels, across the board, would have programming so dull that kids wouldn't watch it[[note]]this was where they dumped the crap adults didn't watch, either, and stations didn't want to be seen as encouraging children to stay home from church to watch TV in an era when most Americans were churchgoers no matter how devout they actually were[[/note]] or, if you were lucky, you got some ReligiousEdutainment show like ''WesternAnimation/DaveyAndGoliath'', sometimes locally produced. The big networks, then and now, ran very grown-up news-and-politics {{Talk Show}}s on Sunday morning -- ''This Week'', ''Meet the Press'', ''Face the Nation'', and so on. If you were ''really'' lucky, you got an animated show or two -- [[WesternAnimation/DaveyAndGoliath often]] [[Anime/{{Superbook}} religious]] in [[Anime/FlyingHouse nature]], unless you lived in a market with a station that carried ''The Funtastic World of Creator/HannaBarbera''. It was a little better in Canada or with local syndication stations, although those tended to stick to Canadian-made cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/RocketRobinHood'' or ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967'' on Sundays. The sole exceptions in most markets were USA Network's ''Cartoon Express'' block in the 1980s, which consisted mostly of reruns of various H-B, Creator/RubySpears, Creator/DiC, and Creator/{{Filmation}} cartoons, and in the 1990s the first run of ''Franchise/{{Nicktoons}}'', which originally ran in the Sunday morning slot. Back in the early to mid 80s, Sunday morning syndication might run live action children's shows like ''Big Blue Marble''. Also, some one shot and unsold cartoon pilots might make their way to the early sunday morning timeslot. These shows had a fair amount of viewers in places like California and the East Coast Tri State Area where a significant amount of the population is Jewish, secular, or otherwise has religious services on a day other than the traditional Christian sabbath. However, Sunday morning for many children of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s was just a good time to play with your toys if you weren't taken to church services. From 1995 to 2003, Creator/{{UPN}} programmed a Sunday morning children's block, the only major commercial block of its kind in the entire history of American broadcast television. It was originally under the ''UPN Kids'' banner with programming from Creator/SabanEntertainment. In 1999, Creator/{{Disney}} took over the time period as ''Disney's One Too'', an extension of ''[[Creator/OneSaturdayMorningAndABCKids One Saturday Morning]]'' which also aired on weekdays.

Many early Saturday-morning cartoons are closely associated with the AnimationAgeGhetto. Many later ones were actually anime imported to the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' and ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' being prime examples. The Japanese equivalent of the timeslot is Sunday mornings, and unlike in the west, is still going strong.

Other western countries during more or less the same epoch dedicated their weekend slots in a similar way, with Saturday being reserved for children's (and teenagers') programming with, in addition to the cartoons listed here, locally-produced ones, and Sunday, depending of the channel, for either religious programming or also for shows for children. As in the US, it began to fade away in the '90s, being replaced by adult-oriented programming such as news, reruns, live-action series, infomercials, etc. and programming aimed at children being moved to channels that specialized in it.

In recent years, Creator/TheCW discontinued Creator/{{Vortexx}}, [[EndOfAnAge the last traditional Saturday morning block]], on September 27, 2014. Almost three years later, on July 1, 2017, the Sinclair Broadcasting Group launched a new program block called Creator/{{KidsClick}}, which was broadcast on Creator/ThisTV and Sinclair-owned stations. [=KidsClick=] aired seven days a week, including Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons, thus becoming the first program block to air non-educational cartoons on weekdays since Creator/KidsWB discontinued their weekday blocks in 2001 and 2005. Unfortunately, Sinclair saw very little value in [=KidsClick=] and abruptly canned the block at the end of March 2019.

On the other hand, the past few years ''have'' seen Creator/DisneyChannel running a very respectable Saturday morning animation block with such shows as ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries,'' ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017, WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}},'' ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens,'' and the ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013'' shorts, as well as older series like ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' and ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls.''

[[https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/metv-announces-hosted-morning-classics-show-toon-in-with-me-for-2021/ In 2020 METV announced a new weekday and Saturday morning block showing classic animation]], aimed at all ages and intended to be a nostalgic throwback to the Saturday mornings of old.
