Roger Ramjet WAS my hero...
Oh, yeah. I know all that now. It’s just that as a kid it was a mystery to me.
Like the whole juxtaposition of why Saturday morning fare had static characters “talking” endlessly to each other... while some old 1940s Tex Avery cartoon would have a couple of funny-animals hilariously chasing each other around with axes, trying to do each other in. Man, I’d go for the latter any day of the week!
kids are better off not watching Disney and Nickelodean, you can bet that leftism and crap seep in.
Now cartoons are for perpetual stoners watching Ted Turner’s Cartoon Network/Adult Swim.
Here's the opening to the Bugs Bunny-Road Runner show. The beginning also has CBS's old top-of-the-hour time tone.
And what replaced it? Libsplanations to join the libs’ plantation.
Amazon.com has placed warning labels on cartoons.
But PC doomed it all, just like much of the rest of this country. Like Donald Duck in "Der Fueher's Face," we now pretty much get what the current Reich Broadcasting Corporation gives us.

I stopped watching cartoons when they became PC and started targeting corporations as being evil......
Time-Lies-Warner-Turner has placed warning labels on cartoons.
They say that the content was never acceptable, then they package it to make $$$ off of it. But they have to lib-shame you first for watching them.
That first became the gameplan in the 1970s when every week the Mystery Machine crew (Scooby etc.) ran into rotten property developer after rotten property developer. Then there was Yogi's Ark which took on all of the evil industrial polluters.
Saturday morning was great back in the 1950s. Mr Wizard, Circus Boy, and many other. The cartoons shows were old theater releases with REAL ANIMATION! Mighty Mouse, Terrytoons, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Felix the Cat, Oswald the Rabbit, Popeye.
We then noticed cartoons were being shortened to make room for more advertizements.
Then came the Hanna-Barbara garbage factory and they began to destroy REAL ANIMATION. Soon all Saturday morning cartoons were H-B garbage.
I remember doing the same. The TV station had western movies on all afternoon.
Tom Mix
Buck Jones
Wild Bill Elliot
Way too many singing cowboys.
Wonder why Tom Mix and Buck Jones westerns are no longer released? I haven’t seen one of those in 58 years.
Back in the 1970’s some Men’s magazine found and published a nude photo of her. Definitely Not Guilty of anything!
Only then did I start watching the show.
It was claimed that Lee Harvey Oswald liked the “violent” cartoons on TV.
That, some claimed, was why he shot John Kennedy.
It got worse after Bobby Kennedy was murdered. All TV shows immediately dumbed down to kiddie levels, comic books got changed, paper back books removed their lurid covers. Movie producers said they would police themselves with a rating system and began to churn out the most bloody vile movies possible.
I remember when CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT (later called Jet Jackson) was on Saturday morning, a live action show.
My first “turn on” as a kid was watching KRAKATOA KATIE doing her dance.
“Krakatoa Katie she ain’t no lady...”
Back when Animation was also enjoyable for adults.
I’m sure there were lots of cartoons on this morning. Maybe not on the formerly big 3, but in plenty of other places.
