Now on saturday mornings we have 3 billion shows all about animals - animal planet, rescue planet, rescue animals, animal hospital, rescue hospital, etc, etc, etc. I turn on the tv, and that's all I see, some damn dog that is facing a crisis because it has fleas, or a baby seal that is threatened by sharks until the stupid idiots hosting the show interferre with nature and take away the shark's food. That's is what ruined saturday morning - snooty parents who were upset that their kids were having fun, and expected the networks to teach their kids their numbers and alphabet, because they (the parents) were too busy.

It told a story of three kids' lives and personal conflicts and how they intertwined with the larger conflict going on around them. It never really seemed to ram the history facts down your throat (like some educational shows/cartoons do), the history facts were woven into the story itself. Liberty's Kids saved my social studies grade more than once and I've recommended it to more than one of my teacher friends for their social studies classes because of how good it is.

Hell I was still that way as a teenager watching certain shows on Boomerang or Toon Disney. But in my adulthood, I absolutely HATE having my schedule revolve around a damn TV Program, so no I wouldn't necessarily give up On Demand TV of any kind, animated or not. But I do miss the feeling of anticipation of the NEW episode, one of the reasons I liked MLP G4/FiM when it was super new, it felt amazing having *something* that made me want to get up at a specific time to watch a specific network, it was like that great swan song of the SatAM Experience for me personally.

That would be great if cartoons aired every day, but that would result in a lot of trouble with the affiliate stations of the major networks. Fox wanted to and did air Fox Kids every day, but a few years into Fox Kids's run, some stations wanted to focus a little bit more on news and business, and Fox Kids was neither of those things. This wasn't to say that the affiliates didn't want to air Fox Kids at all, they just wanted to air it less often, like once a week on Saturday mornings. And after Fox made a deal with New World Entertainment to switch stations from ABC, CBS, and NBC to Fox, many of those new Fox stations decided not to air Fox Kids, giving more focus on content for older audiences and new shows. And in response, Fox ordered Fox Kids to aired on certain independent stations. and eventually in 2001, All Fox stations decided that they indeed wanted to use the timeslot taken up by Fox Kids, for their own programming, as they feel confident that their programming could keep up with ABC, CBS, and NBC. And then in that year, Fox decided that they had finally had enough of it, and Fox Kids, along with Saban and Fox Family Worldwide got sold to the Walt Disney Company, but they let Fox oversee the dying brand at Fox TV headquarters, and by that point, Fox knew that the writing was on the wall for Fox Kids, and they shut down daytime children's programming at the end of 2001, fulfilling the wishes of it's affiliates to give more time for their own shows, And Fox Kids was also given the rights to 4Kids Entertainment, to air the block on Saturdays, and they did so, until when the block finally ended on September 7th, 2002

At first I thought they were just skipping a week. I mean they have done that before. Especially when a college basketball game was on. Sometimes they would even show less cartoons. So I kept getting up just about every Saturday hoping there was some cartoons and anime to watch but each time I got more disappointed. Eventually I did some research and found out that Saturday morning cartoons became extinct. What's weird though is that Vortexx still has its website I think.

I kinda liked having the moderation. Gave me something to be excited about and look forward to at the end of the week, and especially with shows that had a continuous plot I could dwell on them and wonder what would happen next. It also stopped me from just sitting there consuming copious amounts of it rather than doing something more productive. These days I barely get that feeling since everything is just there on demand. Even waiting for something to release, I'm done with it so quickly after it releasing because it's just all there for me to burn through all at once. Probably has a lot to do with why older shows have stuck fondly in my memories whilst I forget 99% of the details for recent shows only days after I've binge watched them.

The animation industry ruined morning cartoons. The industry changed, the reason animation existence changed, and people's mindset towards animation changed. We live in an era that profitability=longevity. If you can't ensure profits then you can't exist. The result is that most animated series nowadays are written "hoping to become masterpieces" instead of "trying to entertain people" or "try a wild idea". This leads to studios strategically creating series hoping to cash on nostalgia or current trends that young and old people will surely like. When you don't want to take risks you end up using the same ideas over....and over....and over again. Cartoon nowadays can't go wild because going wild implies "putting a lot of effort in the animation department" or "taking high risks with your story and scripts" both ideas need time and money that unfortunately the industry can't spare. Making a "classic" in 2017 requires risks that the industry doesn't want/can't take and as a result morning cartoons tend to be "re-re-re-releases" of old ideas.

Not really. Animation is still made using people and their drawings. Drawing on a tablet and drawing on paper doesn't change the final animation result. There are numerous instances were modern animation allowed to produce fast and good looking episodes (as an example some of the episodes in the XYZ pokemon series were made just by using computer animation and looked gorgeous). The issue is the schedules and each studio's inability to correct its work. Yes you made a good looking episode and cheap but you don't have the time to double check and fix mistakes. EVerything related to a project in general is affected by three things. Time-Money-Talent. Usually animation studios can ensure 2 out of three and as a result they end up buchering the third one. You have talented animators and money but unfortunately no time, so you end up delivering an episode with mistakes. You have time and talented stuff but lack money? Your animation will look boring and you will have to face many limitations.

I'm pretty sure the animator from Rocko's Modern Life is now doing an E/I show for PBS called Let's Go Luna!

I MISS MY SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS! It was a huge mega thing for me. On an OCD level. What kind of kid highlights a tv guide, makes up a spread of food including left over pizza from TGIF watching. Sets the alarm to get up at 6 am and basks in the glow of the tv for hours. This kid did.

Thanks for uploading this; I've been wondering what ever happened to Saturday Morning Cartoons for a while and you provided the answer.

20:45 - 21:00 Holy hell, that made me cry because it made me think of my father, who, although he's now warming up to animation in general and my love for it, didn't really care about animation but when he talks about the cartoons he used to watch and the comics he used to read when he was young I can see he has the same love for them as I do for the stuff I like. He even tries to show me his favorite old shows every now and then on the internet. Shit, that part of the video was really moving to me.

19:19 The year was 2011. Up until then, Saturday morning cartoons were practically my whole life. My household didn't have cable, and we didn't have reliable internet either, so Saturday morning cartoons were quite literally my best source of cartoons, and I first hand witnessed their decline. 4Kids became KidsWB. KidsWB became CW4Kids. CW4Kids became Toonzai, and Toonzai became Vortex. These networks showed morning AND afternoon cartoon blocks, but that later became mornings only, and then Saturday mornings only. Nevertheless, I was in middle school at around this time, and I wanted to join this academic club that required me to do community service, so I started volunteering my Saturday mornings at a library. It kind of became my first job, and as a result, I totally lost track of these TV networks until they just faded into obscurity in my mind. For me to see this clip, of this clip, of this one video, all these years later, it was just...... .....It was like having this one great coworker. You weren't necessarily friends outside of work, but you were always happy to see him, but one Friday, you go home like any other Friday, go through the weekend like any other weekend, and then show up to work on Monday like any other Monday, but you realize he's not there, so you go your manager and ask him why he wasn't present, and they tell you something like "Friday was his last day working with us", and now you're just left sitting there like "he didn't even say goodbye?....." Wow.....That was just depressing :(

ABC had the best line up in the late 90s/early 2000s on Saturday morning! Pepper Anne and Recess were awesome!

I remember watching 4Kids TV and Kids WB as a kid. Best times of my day before breakfast. Then I'd play around with friends before finally settling down and watching something like Cartoon Network or Nick.. God I miss those days.. And the quality cartoons.

Thanks for posting this. I have wondered about this somewhat over the last few years. I have such fond memories of me and my brothers and sister getting up early on Saturday morning and watching cartoons for a few hours. It was such a big deal when the new cartoons shows debuted in the fall. We all grew up and left the cartoons behind but I did return for a few short years when my kids were young and continued the tradition. Perhaps because I had gone through it before, I found myself joining my little girls and watching shows like the Smurfs. It was such a great way to spend time with them and I would not trade those memories for anything. Now I have grandkids but, alas, there will be no continuing of that wonderful tradition.

I remember my mom always talking about SMC and how after they were done it'd go to adult programming ((or rather, stuff that would bore kids to death)) and she's have to wait till next week. Now I can just open up any number of services and watch thousands of cartoons and anime ((which yes is still a type of cartoon. But you don't think anime when you say "cartoon")). The hard part is picking which to watch. it's amazing how rapidly technology has evolved in the past 20-30 years.

What killed Saturday Morning cartoons? Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney XD! I still can remember sitting in fount of our big TV watching toons from six am to noon then I went outside to ride my bike. Good times! The 70's to 90's rocked!

During these years I remember TMNT, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Garfield & Friends, and The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show. Finally at 11am I switched over to PBS for my weekly fix of Motorweek.

To be honest I never saw G.I. Joe or The Transformers as long toy commercials. I didn't have that many toys from these shows at all. When people would say to me later that they were just commercials for toys I disagreed. I never saw them like that, and I have met plenty of other people who grew up watching them who felt the same way. I am sure there were kids who had to have all the toys, I knew kids at school who had everything, but not all of us were like that. Besides cartoons and movies today still try and bank on merchandise​. And shows like He-Man, G.I. Joe and The Transformers were made into cartoons in the first place because they already were best-selling toy lines, the cartoons were made to capitalize off of that. When they tried to change things up with Transformers and kill off characters and bring in new ones to sell toys, fans of the show were pissed and didn't really buy them. I kinda feel like if it was all about the toys the new line of them wouldn't have failed as badly as it did. A guy tried to lecture me on all this once, and then I said the same could be said of the original (and most definitely the prequel) Star Wars movies which he saw in theaters growing up. He got kinda mad. My point o him was simply - yeah there was merchandising that came from the movies; it is apart of the business. It didn't stop the movies from being good though did it? I am not naive, I know continuing merchandising was a big pusher behind cartoons and what-not, but I never saw it that way. I saw shows with different and fun characters and simple but action-filled plots This turned out super long. Sorry about that..

A.C.T. are the biggest bunch of knob-polishers of their whole, asinine generation. Whether it's comics, or video games, or cartoons, or D&D, or Indiana Jones, parents are going to find SOME scapegoat. 99% of all these complaints come from parents whose idea of parenting is plopping their kid in front of a television, and then expecting it to do the parenting FOR them. Then when their kid turn antisocial as a result, the entertainment itself gets blamed. Well, making a bunch of arbitrary rules for cartoons (none of them based on entertainment value), is ludicrous and there was bound to be fallout. Now there are no Saturday Morning Cartoons. I guess parents will have to find something else to blame. Heaven forbid they blame themselves (even though logic would dictate that they have the most to do with how their miserable kids turn out).

"Whether it's comics, or video games, or cartoons, or D&D, or Indiana Jones, parents are going to find SOME scapegoat." This is exactly what's wrong with "Mazes and Monsters", which loves to blame a fictional fantasy-themed board game for Tom Hank's problems. Never mind the fact that Hanks' character clearly has a psychological problem that makes it difficult for him to separate reality from fantasy, whose parents fight all the time and are useless at raising and educating him, whose new friends peer pressure him into playing the game even though he really doesn't want to because he doesn't want to get kicked out of another school, and the fact that his friends already have problems of their own before we see them play the game. But no, it's games like Mazes and Monsters that will ruin Tom Hanks' life, lose him his friends, family, and girlfriend, and will drive him to jump off The World Trade Center (before.... THAT). And may God forgive Hanks if he reads stuff from J RR Tolken and L Frank Baum. Mazes and Monsters is a textbook example on how to pander to overly concerned and butthurt parents and deserves to be put down by the fantasy community.

Vortexx ended up not being the last Saturday Morning cartoon block- Sinclair Broadcast Group took a shot in 2018 with a block called KidsClick (named such because it was tied in with an app, which carried the shows of said block, which included Pink Panther and Pals and Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures), carried first on This TV, and later on TBD (both digital subchannels, in most cases). Even that ended up shutting down without warning on March 31, 2019, with that block's last program being "Oggy and the Cockroaches (literally, the block signed off saying it would be on the next week, there was that little of a warning.)

I suggest another factor as to the decline and fall of Saturday morning cartoons: college football. In 1984, the University of Oklahoma sued the N.C.A.A., which regulated college football programming at the time. Up to then, college football on TV had been mostly restricted to ABC's package, which consisted of big schools and the Sugar Bowl, CBS' coverage of lesser-known teams and conferences (as well as bowl games played in Texas, namely the Sun and Cotton bowls), NBC's broadcasts of New Year's Day bowls (Fiesta, Orange and Rose) and ESPN's showing of minor bowl games and small-college playoffs. These would normally take place in the early afternoon. When the Supreme Court ruled in favour of O.U., the door was opened to an expansion of college football on the Saturday broadcast slate. In 1987, College Gameday debuted on ESPN Saturday mornings, and it started to draw many kids and young adults away from cartoons. In 1991, NBC started to show Notre Dame home games as their only college football broadcasts of the regular season (Notre Dame were one of the biggest programs at the time). Then, in 1993, Gameday went to campus for the first time to preview the #2 Fighting Irish's home tilt against #1 Florida State. The unprecedented, access-all-areas coverage opened a new era in Saturday-morning programming, and by the end of the regular season, ESPN was regularly travelling to campuses across the country every Saturday morning in the fall. I feel that cartoons on Saturday morning had that factor to contend with, in addition to the four you listed.

Surprisingly, in my country (Argentina), there are still saturday morning cartoons by Telefé, in his Nickelodeon block, since this network is also owned by Viacom. On the other hand, it seems to me that it is completely unnecessary for children's programming of the big three to be educational, since there is a public television network to show that kind of content and thus everything is balanced. But in reality, unfortunately, this happened, and there will be no way to fix it.

He noted the length of his own video two minutes and forty-four seconds after it started, and very little time was wasted in the video itself so it was a productive twenty plus minutes. - - - R.I.P. Saturday Morning Cartoons. I miss you.

I listen to music as long as this video or even an hour plus.

I remember watching that final Saturday morning broadcast from Vortex (Though I was just watching for Spectacular Spider-Man and Justice League: Unlimited) and remember thinking, "This is the last station to air Saturday morning cartoons and it almost seems like business as usual." Great video. I was very pleased when I heard you were covering this topic and the end result was worth the wait. Do you think that there's any chance that cartoons could return to Saturday morning or is that door closed for good?

SchweitzerMan Probably not since a lot of networks are choosing to air on weeknights.

SchweitzerMan I'm still subscribed to CW Vortex defunct KZread channel. 4kids fought a long hard battle by being the last local Saturday morning cartoon block but it had to be put asleep permanently.

The vortex was the last Saturday morning channel too

There's actually an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures that references Action For Children's Television. Season three episode eleven, the episode is called Washingtoon. I love your channel!

The way you pronounce "theatre" makes me giggle it's so proper and fancy sounding 😊✨

Hey I just found your channel bc of your "what ruined Nickelodeon" video . Your channel is so great! you deserve more followers. Great job on the editing! Youve gained a new sub 💖😀😀😀

This video really spoke to me. I still hope someday a broadcast network will once again rebirth something like the Vortexx. Or better yet kidswb

Broadcast television is sort of dying now. What you're describing would have more success online.

That was a very good video. The artwork at 21:53 is incredible with all these cartoon characters rushing into battle to take on an enemy at their doorstep. Who that enemy is, no one knows.

Could you please do a video on what's killing daytime soap operas?
