I never thought I'd see the day, but it's becoming more and more common that kids don't watch Saturday Morning cartoons. Sure, there are popular outliers like Bluey, which has maintained some of its younger audience as they grow, but as a Millennial dad, I can confirm many kids my daughter's age would sooner fire up their favorite YouTube channel than sit and watch cartoons on a Saturday morning.
I used to think kids just didn't appreciate it, but after my kid became hooked on watching Adventure Time with her HBO Max subscription, I think all it requires is a poke in the right direction to show these young minds what they're missing. So, how does one condition children into the idea of Saturday morning cartoons when they aren't even used to watching actual cable channels and commercials?
