Last night my wife and I were having some hang out time and were watching some random TV and we came across the Superfriends about 12 AM on boomerang. I got to thinking about the demise of the Saturday morning cartoon as the institution I remember it as a kid. The Superfriends and the Bugs Bunny show were by far the best cartoons on TV when I was a kid. I remember in the fall on ABC they would do this special on the Friday night before the new cartoon season and would hype up all the new shows. I was so jacked up to watch the new shows I would be up crazy early and watch all that I could. Whatever happened to the Saturday morning cartoon. I guess cable replaced all that. I still watch Bugs Bunny with my daughter but its just not the event it used to be. Bugs Bunny was 90 minutes back in the day!!
Now back to the Superfriends for a moment, does anyone remember that Casey Kasem did the voice of Robin? When my wife and I were talking about that I remembered that Kasem was a really big radio star when this show was on.
Could you imagine if Ryan Seacrest were doing that voice now? I think I would vomit.
