Saturday mornings used to be a tradition here in America just like Sunday cook-outs and listening to the National Anthem at Midnight before broadcasts went off the air. Those were the good ol' days.
Unlike brenda's rather liberal point of view of the subject matter, I believe it was easy-anytime access to cartoons that pretty much killed Saturday mornings like billy said. Just as more Western cartoons are being consumed by the animu invasion, the American tradition is dying a slow and painful death. Whatever happened to blast from the past Fridays? They use to show all the old cartoons such as the original X-Men, Reboot, Beast Wars and the haye-day of Western Cartoons of '99? These young guns now days don't know what they've missed.
