The Golden Age of Saturday Morning Cartoons

November 6, 2006

Map to MoCCA

In the Fall of 1966, a revolution began that would affect the way an entire generation of children and their parents would watch TV - there were only three networks, and all three began to air original animated programming on Saturday mornings, a time slot normally reserved for test patterns and kiddie show hosts.

This fall, MoCCA will exhibit and celebrate art from some of these shows and a number of others that aired over the 24 years of Saturday Morning's "Golden Age," while also looking at the roots of television animation in the 1940s and 1950s and how the medium has changed since 1990.
