Saturday cartoons
Morning animated programming
Saturday cartoons refers to the tradition of animated programming broadcast on weekend mornings, primarily from the 1960s through the 1990s in the United States.
For generations, children woke early to watch back-to-back cartoons while eating sugary cereal: We'd watch Saturday cartoons in our pajamas until noon.
The phrase evokes nostalgia for a shared cultural ritual that largely disappeared with the rise of cable networks and streaming.
