"What has happened to Saturday morning television?"

BBC1:
A couple of cocksuckers, whose Mothers wish they had been sterilised before it was too late and they slipped out the wrong end. Completely dumbed-down version of the Chuckle Brothers, including fart and pee-pee jokes. You know they're only allowed to present so early because they can't get morning wood.

BBC2:
It's not the Fresh Prince, so it doesn't matter.

ITV:
Worse than BBC1, and not a looker in sight. I think this morning was Peter Andre, and one of the losers from S Club 7. Even the kids in the background look depressed.

C4:
Horse Racing from Ascot? Not sure, but that's all that's ever on that channel in the mornings. Got a glimpse of Tranny-World Sport, or whatever, but nothing to really catch my attention. In fact, this is the only channel that hasn't changed over the last 10 years - it still shows the same boring crap.

C5:
Home and Away omnibus. Amazingly it's got worse than Neighbours, and, again, not a looker on show.


Think back to ten years ago, and how great morning TV was. Going Live, Motormouth, even Timmy Mallet was cool back then. Someone at TV headquarters needs a good kick in the teeth.

Also, all the classic cartoons that used to be shown on TV.

I'm 17, so I'm just old enough to remember them, shows like: Ninja Turtles, Captain Bucky O'Hare, Sonic, Thundercats, He-Man etc etc.

What do kids get these days? Tweenies, some talking puppets and other "Educationamalal" shows.

Whaaat?

Bucky O'Hare? That must be the worst cartoon ever. Stupid green rabbit.

Being 15, I obviously don't remember many of what would be called classic cartoons, but the ones based on Marvel comics were always well worth watching. There is a good side to the Bungalow tosh that's on BBC, though- I walked into a room where my brother was watching it, and "Ace Of Spades" by Motorhead was being played in the background. At least they play good music. =D

Aaah, but you need the Morning Line on C4. They give some damn good tips.

You're obviously a fool.

Hong Kong Phooey > all others.

Except Dangermouse and Trap Door, at least.

I used to get up at like 8am on Saturday and Sunday morning for the TV. Now, it just looks terrible.

Ministry of Madness or something

You say, "What's happened to saturday morning television?"

I say, what's happened to Saturday (all 24 hours of it) TV?
