It's Saturday Morning!: Celebrating the Golden Era of Cartoons 1960s - 1990s Hardcover – Illustrated, October 23, 2018

I bought this as a gift for my Dad. Dad was born in 1960 and myself and my brother in the early 90s. It has all the cartoons my Dad watched as a kid and later showed to us, as well as all the "new" 80s/90s cartoons we watched together. This is a really great gift and also makes an awesome coffee table book.

My son loves this so much it has went back and forth in his book bag it's now taped together that's how long he has had this book he's 15 and Autistic.

Took me back to my youth in the 1960's.

Purchased as a present for a 50 something cartoon lover. We still do our own Saturday morning cartoon fests with the old faves, so this was perfect. Package it with a favorite cereal... as part of a complete breakfast, of course.

This book is a lot of fun. If you grew up watching cartoons like I did, you'll appreciate it. Starting from the 1960s to the 1990s, this highlights some of the best-remembered animated programs -- the Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, the Flintstones,s and Bugs Bunny are just a few. Great illustrations bring back memories.

40 years is a long stretch of cartoons to be referred to as the Golden Age. No, the Golden Age for Saturday morning cartoons was actually the 60's and early 70's. Unfortunately both of the authors were too young to have been able to enjoy Saturday afternoon cartoons during that time. The 60's and early 70's represented a time in America when the three major networks started to broadcast in color and the standard of living in the United States was so high that quality TV productions were the order of the day, including cartoons. For those of you old enough to remember, here are some of the great cartoons the authors did not cover in their book.Rocky and Bullwinkle (includes Fractured Fairy Tales and Mr. Peabody with his Way Back Machine)George of the Jungle (and who can forget "Call for Super Chicken!"?)The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (a combination of live action and animation with eye popping colors)Return the The Planet of the Apes (a re-boot showing a more advanced ape society)Star Trek (in many ways more imaginative than the original series)

The only thing I wish was that this book was a little longer and included some more old cartoon gems.

I was looking for a great gift to get my sister. Watching Saturday morning cartoons together as kids was a huge part of our childhood. I love the nostalgia it evokes and the fun facts behind our favorite shows! Great conversation starter for the home coffee table and makes the perfect gift!!! So happy!!!! I may just have to order another one for myself.
