What's on TV? Saturday, July 30, 1966

It's nice to look back at Saturday mornings when cartoons ruled the day. That classic era is actually a fairly small window, you know; up until the early 1960s, Saturday mornings consisted mostly of movies (mostly Westerns) and live-action shows like Rin Tin Tin, and by the end o the 1960s the scene was dominated by superhero cartoons and some made-for-TV animation that was truly horrible. But there was a period in-between, as you see this week, when there was a combination of classic toons that started out as movie shorts—Bugs, Daffy, and the like—Hanna-Barbera and Total Television characters, and shows that had started out in primetime before finding a home on Saturdays. For me, that's the Golden Age of Saturday mornings, and even though it could be preempted by sports broadcast via satellite from Europe, it was still a dependable way to grow up. These memories, along with everything else, come from the Northern California edition.
