As a child of the 1970's, I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons. Thanks to the Cartoon Network and a host of other cable channels which provide cartoons all day long, the idea of watching on Saturday mornings maybe seems kind of quaint now. But not for us late Baby Boomers or Early Generation X'ers or whatever you want to call it. For us, Saturday mornings were an event!
And for me, anyway, it wasn't always the actual 30 minute shows that I found most enjoyable. Rather, I couldn't wait for the cartoons to end so that I could watch the educational Public Service Announcements that played in between shows. And I must not be alone in having felt this way. Almost everyone remembers the Schoolhouse Rocks PSA's. Even my own kids, 30 years removed from the 1970's, have seen Conjunction Junction.
But the Schoolhouse Rock PSA's weren't the only ones to air on Saturday mornings. Here's one of my favorite OTHER PSA's.
