Turns out that Fox has decided to completely abandon Saturday mornings by having 2 hours of infomercials instead of cartoons. On top of that, most of the networks run their news show instead of Kiddie fare during the early hours. How am I supposed to get a kid up on Saturday morning with the promise of Lester Holt demonstrating a new vacuum cleaner? Even Nick and Disney Channel merely rerun the same junk they show during the week. Saturday morning is no longer sacred.
I fear at 8 a.m. hearing the Butterbean knocking on the door and demanding we take him out of the house cause there's nothing good on TV. I don't want to have to tell my kid to put their pajamas back on, head down the stairs and watch TV. Daddy's got to sleep it off.
When i was a kid, there was nothing sadder than that hour when Soul Train, American Bandstand or college football arrived cause that was time to admit Saturday morning was over. The grown ups had taken over the channel and now we'd have to make an effort to do something with our unbusy days.
Perhaps by the time Butterbean is ready for TV, TV will once more be ready to entertain Butterbean.
