But even during OSM, programs prospered, unlike now, where we get the same drivel week in and week out.

I'm not sure I ever know what they are showing of Saturdays mornings anymore as I don't get out of bed to even bother paying it any attention. The networks have lost their monopoly on me.

Same here, for the most part. Though when my siblings visit, I have to watch the drivel with them, because they like it. Ugh...

I always usually sleep till 9:30 on Saturday mornings. But get up to see what's happening with Pokemon which doesn't seem go great anymore like it was when it first came out. And I catch The Spectacular Spider Man, Transformers Animated, and Sushi Pack.

Pokemon--to me--was never all that impressive. Sure, the animal-esque characters with powers was a relatively new thing, but the fact that it replaced of the cartoons I grew up on didn't set well with me too much. Not to mention that I was never really interested in trading cards or whatever.

I remember in the 80's, ABC aired these cartoon shorts during Saturday Morning commercials. Computer Critters, about a family of animals who give us one minute computer lessons.

I remmeber these ! Most of all the intro "Mom's to?" *lol* The funny thing is even when I saw them they were already telling me what I already knew. But then, I had had computers since I was tiny because my daddy worked with them, my first one was a typing station with a green screen that could'nt save anything, I would still type on it for hours .

I love pokemon ! I got into it when the anime first aired (Yes, that was actually the first episode that aired, not episode one) in the US when I was sixteen (but it was in the afternoon and by that time most of the cartoons I grew up with had been pushed off by something else anyway), and that Christmas I got Blue Version. I have always loved the idea of raising a breeding animals, so I love things like Pokemon and Monster Rancher ^.^.
Now I have all the games and even write fanfic, and I have been a member of one forum for seven years now^.^.

Each to their own, I suppose.

Yep! I just have to put in my two cents

I guess most good things have to go at some point and no good tings always last forever.
