I’m not saying anything new when I mention the fact that I LOVE CARTOONS! I always have and, more than likely, always will. And for a fan of cartoons, it’s a great time to be alive with tons of groundbreaking new content in addition to every show we’ve ever heard becoming increasingly more available to view over and over again at any given time of day. But let’s go back before all of that, if we can, to a time before streaming services and cartoon networks.
Let’s go back to the time of the Saturday morning cartoon.
From the 1960’s into the 1990’s, television networks in America would treat kids once a week to a programming block of animated goodness that was nothing short of inspirational… and sold a lot of toy advertising, as well. I came in on the tail end of all this and, while things are certainly better now, I still look back on it with an extreme amount of fondness. Because of this, I’m starting a new segment that I call, “The Saturday Morning Kablama Slam!”

| Because... these shows had an impact on me... and that's the sound an impact makes? I dunno. I have to call it something. |
On random Saturdays throughout the year, I’ll be taking a look at the individual Saturday morning cartoons that I loved the most. I’ll post fan art (obviously) and nerdsplain what these shows were and why I enjoyed them as much as I did.
It all kablamas this weekend, so be sure not to miss it! See you at the Slam!
…
Yeah, I apologize. That’ll be the only time I say that.
