Remember the joy of waking up early on a weekend morning, turning on the TV and being greeted by a vibrant world of Saturday morning cartoons? For many, this was a cherished weekly ritual, a time where the complexities of life took a backseat to the adventures of animated characters. Unfortunately, this tradition has largely disappeared, particularly with the introduction of Litton's Weekend Adventure programming blocks on ABC and CBS, which, despite their educational value, have replaced the traditional cartoons we loved.

This petition calls for the return of Saturday morning cartoons in the fall of 2026, specifically on ABC and CBS, by replacing the existing Litton blocks. We are not just nostalgic consumers longing for a trip down memory lane; we are voices advocating for the reinstitution of a cultural phenomenon that influenced generations. Our aim is to bring back ABC Kids and introduce a lineup that includes a delightful mix of Disney Junior content that fulfills the E/I (Educational and Informational) guidelines, ensuring it's suitable for young viewers.

Moreover, we want to broaden this lineup to include shows like 'Kid Vs. Kat,' 'Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go,' 'Johnny Test,' and 'The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody,' which can be rated TV-Y7 without E/I guidelines, allowing for entertainment-driven storytelling that appeals to older children as well. In parallel, let's reignite the excitement on CBS by launching Vortexx with action-packed shows aimed at boys, adding popular titles like 'Paw Patrol,' 'Blaze and The Monster Machines,' 'Rusty Rivets,' and 'Rubble and Crew' to keep the young audience engaged.

Bringing back Saturday morning cartoons is not only about nostalgic enjoyment; it's about revitalizing a platform that fosters creativity, moral lessons, and imagination. It builds camaraderie among kids over shared episodes of favorite shows and can even serve as a bonding time for families. These cartoons offer a balance between pure entertainment and educational content, providing dynamic alternatives to children’s screen time over weekends.

We need your help to make this dream a reality. By joining this movement and signing this petition, you contribute to a cause that could redefine weekend entertainment for the next generation. Let's reach our goal of 1,000 supporters and send a resonant message to the networks: bring back the magic of cartoons on Saturday mornings for ABC and CBS in Fall 2026!
