Manage episode 454844119 series 3615965
In Episode 2 of Growing Up Geek, we explore the final chapters of Saturday morning cartoons and the forces that led to their decline. The 1990s ushered in a new era of sophistication and creativity in children’s programming, with anime influences, serialized storytelling, and darker themes captivating young audiences.
Cable networks and after-school cartoon blocks began to challenge the Saturday morning tradition, offering cartoons around the clock and shifting the way kids consumed entertainment.
As we move into the 2000s and 2010s, we examine how streaming services, on-demand programming, and changes in FCC regulations prioritized live-action educational content over animation. By the end of this journey, Saturday morning cartoons had all but disappeared, replaced by a new digital era.
Join host Steeven as he uncovers the cultural and technological shifts that transformed Saturday mornings from a cherished ritual into a nostalgic memory.
Though the era may be gone, its legacy continues to inspire generations. Tune in for a heartfelt look at how we said goodbye to a beloved childhood tradition.
