What Happened To Saturday Morning Cartoons?

When I was a kid, Saturday morning was meant to be spent in front of the TV with a bowl of cereal and cartoons on.  Everyone had their favorites, Speed Buggy, Tom&Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Flintstones, I mean the list could go on and on.  After you hit a certain age, you put down the remote and do other things Saturday mornings.  Well, the other day I thought I would see what was on the “big 3” networks (NBC, ABC, CBS) since our 3 year old is getting to that age.  Not only did I not find anything resembling children programming, I found this.  Colon cleaning?  Really Saturday mornings where all of kid-dom gathered for those few glorious hours knowing that we were all united like the Super Friends cartoons.  I did find cartoons, on TV believe it or not.  It was on one of the little digital channels that the Nashville TV stations run and it was actually pretty good.  You get an hours worth of Tom&Jerry followed by an hour of Warner Bros Merry Melodies including Bugs.  So I guess it’s not all bad but the fact that on the big station they feel colon cleansing is better over cartoons shows where our world is today, down the crapper. LOL
