美國廣播公司 (American Broadcasting Company) 在星期六早上播放兒童電視節目:1950819

美國廣播公司的動物醫生 (Animal Clinic) 是以活生生的動物來拍攝的。在特技演員藍區 (Acrobat Ranch) 裡,「翻滾提姆」 (Tumbling Tim) 與「飛翔福洛」 (Flying Flo) 會在螢幕上跑來跑去以取悅他們的新觀眾。

不久之後,其他電視公司也開始製作播放兒童節目。你可能認識到現在還會唱羅伯特‧「水牛鮑柏」‧史密斯 (
Robert E. 「Buffalo Bob」 Smith) 製作之「Hoody Doody Time」裡頭之歌曲的人。或者你也認識可以告訴你有關在「Kukla, Fran, and Ollie」裡頭表演的木偶故事的人。哥倫比亞廣播公司 (Columbia Broadcasting SystemCBS) 則是在1955年開始播放卡通影片太空飛鼠 (The Mighty Mouse Playhouse) 。

一直到1960年代初期時,電視台才在每個週末播放卡通影片。到了1960年代末期,星期六早上一起看卡通節目,已經成為許多家庭固定的家庭活動了。星期六早上看電視是你一定會做的事情嗎?


ABC's "Animal Clinic" featured live animals. On "Acrobat Ranch," Tumbling Tim and Flying Flo flew across the small screen to entertain their new viewers.

Soon the other networks included children's shows in their regular broadcasts. There is probably someone you know who can still sing the theme song from Robert E. ("Buffalo Bob") Smith's "Howdy Doody Time," or tell you about the puppets on "Kukla, Fran, and Ollie." CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System) aired the first animated cartoons in 1955 on "The Mighty Mouse Playhouse."

It wasn't until the early 1960s that cartoons showed up on weekend mornings. By the end of the decade, watching Saturday morning cartoons became a ritual in many homes. Is the TV part of your Saturday morning ritual?
