美国广播公司 (American Broadcasting Company) 在星期六早上播放儿童电视节目:1950819

美国广播公司的动物医生 (Animal Clinic) 是以活生生的动物来拍摄的。在特技演员蓝区 (Acrobat Ranch) 里,「翻滚提姆」 (Tumbling Tim) 与「飞翔福洛」 (Flying Flo) 会在屏幕上跑来跑去以取悦他们的新观众。

不久之后,其他电视公司也开始制作播放儿童节目。你可能认识到现在还会唱罗伯特.「水牛鲍柏」.史密斯 (
Robert E. “Buffalo Bob” Smith) 制作之“Hoody Doody Time”里头之歌曲的人。或者你也认识可以告诉你有关在“Kukla, Fran, and Ollie”里头表演的木偶故事的人。哥伦比亚广播公司 (Columbia Broadcasting SystemCBS) 则是在1955年开始播放卡通影片太空飞鼠 (The Mighty Mouse Playhouse) 。

一直到1960年代初期时,电视台才在每个周末播放卡通影片。到了1960年代末期,星期六早上一起看卡通节目,已经成为许多家庭固定的家庭活动了。星期六早上看电视是你一定会做的事情吗?


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?
