Saturday Morning Cartoons refer to animated television shows that traditionally aired on Saturday mornings, primarily targeting children. This programming block became popular in the United States during the 1960s and continued through the 1990s. Networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS featured a variety of shows, including classic characters like Bugs Bunny and Scooby-Doo. These cartoons provided entertainment and often included moral lessons or humor. The format allowed children to enjoy a mix of adventure, comedy, and fantasy before engaging in weekend activities. As viewing habits changed, the popularity of Saturday morning cartoons declined, leading to their eventual disappearance from mainstream television.
