IT’S SATURDAY MORNING: A Celebration of the Golden Era of Cartoons, 1960’s – 1990’s Book Review







I have fond memories of Saturday Morning Cartoons. After a week of school, it was a treat to sit at home watching one cartoon after another all Saturday morning. 

I recently had a conversation with my husband about the older tv times. Remember when we had to get up to change the channel. No remote. We had to get up, turn the knob and adjust the wire antennae. Then we happily sat all morning long watching our favorite cartoons. 

This book “It’s Saturday Morning – Celebrating the Golden Era of Cartoons” features the many shows we used to watch. The dates range from the 1960s to the 1990s. This is a wonderful full color look back at four decades of cartoons. 

Do you remember your favorite cartoon? 




Mine was Underdog with The Flintstones being a close second. I can still sing the theme songs. The 1960s’ collection includes The Bugs Bunny Show, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest and more. In the 70’s you will find Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, Tarzan, Fat Albert just to name a few. Jumping to the 80’s is the introduction of The Smurfs, He-Man, Transformers , Care Bears and another of my faves – Thundercats! The 90’s brought us shows such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bobby’s World and a family favorite- Animaniacs! 

Each cartoon is detailed with facts and full color photos. The introduction is penned by none other than Howie Mandel who is the creator and voice of Bobby’s World. 

This tribute is sure to bring back memories! For those of us who faithfully sat in front of the television, every Saturday morning, this book is a joy to read. Share your fondest cartoon memories with your family. 

Look for It’s Saturday Morning – Celebrating the Golden Era of Cartoons at your favorite book seller.
