Saturday Morning Cartoons: Wake Up, Pour Some Sugar, and Don't Wake Mom

Before streaming, before you could watch anything anytime, kids had Saturday mornings. Four hours, three networks, a bowl of sugar, and animation. In this episode of The 80s and 90s Uncensored, Milo traces the history of what was once considered the best day of the week, from the humble beginnings of Saturday morning filler to its peak in the 1980s and its rapid decline in the 90s.
