Saturday mornings may be defined by sleeping in, completing the Wordle, and for some of us, nursing a hangover with a particularly strong cup of coffee, the start to our weekend used to look a whole lot different. Enter Josie and the Pussycats, Super Friends, and all the beloved cartoons that came to define Saturday mornings in the 1970s.
From Schoolhouse Rock! to The Brady Kids, here are the 10 best Saturday morning cartoons that pair perfectly with Cocoa Puffs.
1
“Kimba the White Lion, before there was anime there was Kimba.”

“Scooby Dooby Doo so good it is still cranking.”
3
“The Bradys had an entire empire it seems.”

“Are you kidding me, Cocoa Puffs, sitting on [the couch] watching the 'Hair Bears' before parents got up? Great start to any morning.”
5
“Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice..." in my best Ted Knight voice.”
6
“These songs are vicious ear worms... Interplanet Janet has been plaguing me for years…”

The theme song was in my head for awhile when I was a kid. Loved those Saturday morning line ups.

“Johnny F– Quest! Loved the lead in music and the closing too, jazzy rifts for a cartoon. Hodgie was a magician with his SimSim Salabim.”

“American Bandstand was always a sign that Saturday morning cartoons were over, my older sister loved that the most.”
