20 years ago NBC banned Saturday Morning Cartoons because of F.C.C.

posted by BuddyBoy600alt

Well in 1995, It was a very sad year for Saturday Morning cartoons. NBC was forced to banned Saturday Morning cartoons. It was demanded by the F.C.C. And that means no more Disney's Raw Toonage / Disney's Marsupilami, No more Alvin and the Chipmunks, No more Earthworm Jim, No more Super Mario Bros., and many more. That means NBC had to replace it with the Saturday edition of The Today Show and new live action teen sitcom called "TNBC". And that means Disney went on to CBS-TV for their shows (such as The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa).

Saturday Mornings on NBC (Classic Memories)

I miss those old days when NBC had good shows for Saturday Mornings. Here some of my favorites:

* Disney's Raw Toonage - Raw Toonage was a Disney animated series. It was basically a variety show with a random Disney character as a host.

Marsupilami is a yellow, spotted, long-tail marsupial who lives in a jungle with his gorilla friend: Maurice. And I love Marsupilami more than Bonkers. Both Bonkers and Marsupilami were spun-off.

* Camp Candy - An animated series starring the late John Candy...

DarkSarcasm's Rant: NBC's 2008-09 Schedule

A link to NBC's full 2008-09 schedule can be found link.

Every year when NBC's new schedule comes out, I create a long rant/bitchfest. This year is definately no exception. If you choose to read on, please keep in mind that this was written at 3 in the morning. ;)

Just when you think NBC can't possibly get any dumber, the new lineup comes out. Not only am I currently suffering, knowing that Adam Beach and Diane Neal have been given the axe from Law and Order: SVU, but this schedule makes me want to vomit. Lets take it one step at a time...

All of NBC's new shows are in trouble of being CANCELED

The journey is coming to an end for NBC's freshman series "Journeyman."

NBC had until Tuesday to give a full-season pickup to the time-travel drama starring Kevin McKidd. The network let that option lapse, practically canceling the series, which posted its lowest adults 18-49 rating (1.7 rating/8 share) on Monday without a "Heroes" lead-in. The network already tried out fellow rookie "Life" in "Journeyman"'s Monday 10 p.m. slot last week.

Despite the Hollywood writers strike, "Journeyman" was able to complete its 13-episode order.

The remaining two original segments will...
