With educational laws changing, switching to live action kids programming, and infomercials, animated Saturday Mornings have been becoming less profitable since the 1990's.
But all hope is not lost...
In trade off, we actually have cartoon stations now, as well as more animated home media options than ever... The transition has been a gradual one, with benefits, as we have other options to enjoy our beloved cartoons because they are available at anytime for anyone.
Still...it's the end of an era... and one I am sad to hear, as Saturday Morning cartoons meant so much to so many growing up, it was a special time for kids, every week, to leave school behind for the weekend and enjoy a adventure with their favorite animated friends from 6am-12pm every Saturday.
Do yourself I favor this Saturday if you loved the days of yore, grab a sugary cereal, break out your animated dvds/bds/streams, and pay tribute to a beloved time for many children for many decade in US history.
