Today is the last day Saturday morning cartoons will be aired on broadcast television in America. My all-time Saturday am favorites were the Berenstain Bears and Muppet Babies. What were yours?

Well, that is freaking sad! I used to love Scooby-Doo, The Superfriends, The Smurfs, lots of mid 70s to mid 80s stuff.
