5. Blame it on the cable TV
Having all this stated, you’ll take note of the fact that your local stations and network members don’t play many cartoons in the afternoon any longer. That is because, as the daily cartoons reduced the curiosity and significance of Saturday mornings as the primo cartoon goal, even the everyday cartoons presence rendered debatable by cable TV.
As it is, by the mid-1990s, most American homes were outfitted with a supernatural box that brought into the home many niche channels. These included channels that had only cartoons and other child stuff constantly. With its practically unlimited offerings, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, (and branches like Disney XD, Boomerang, and NickToons) made every day feel like a Saturday.
6. Kid’s shows turned into an after-school thing
Kid’s shows and kiddie programs were scant in the old-time TV scene. During the dark days of four channels, kids were fortunate if they got even one show only for them. In the ’50s and ’60s, it was mostly stuff like Captain Kangaroo in the morning, The Mickey Mouse Club during the noon and some privately created show featuring some person dressed like a cowboy, jokester, or pirate playing old cartoons. During the remaining of the daytime, TV was immovably possessed by what did well in the rating, and what raked in cash. That is, game shows soap operas.
Be that as it may, as tastes changed in the ’80s and ’90s, the gaps were filled in by exceptionally syndicated kid’s shows. While many were half-hour commercial for toys, it’s obvious that He-Man: Masters of the Universe, G.I. Joe, Thundercats and the rest were absolutely amazing. Generally produced by similar animation houses that made Saturday morning cartoons, Saturday morning-style cartoons all of a sudden progressed toward becoming rivalry for homework. They were accessible every single day of the week. In short, Saturday morning was never the only game around.
