SMYT: Saturday Morning You Tube

Pop music in the '60s ran the gamut from Bobby Russell's "Saturday Morning Confusion" to "Come Saturday Morning" (from the soundtrack of "The Sterile Cuckoo"* and performed by the same guys who sang of "Guantanamo -mera"). And they still write songs today about "Saturday Morning" (with pancakes! and vampires!).
The first thing Disney did when it took over ABC was "One Saturday Morning"**. But then there are the "REAL Saturday Morning Watchmen" (remixed from previously on MeFi). (other Saturday Morning video posts)
*yes, that is a very young Liza Minnelli
**I'll never forgive them for canceling "Reboot" and "Bump in the Night", the only Saturday toons I still enjoyed, because they weren't produced by Disney

One Saturday Morning was five hours long? Damn, I truly must not have had anything to give a fuck about when I was eight.

Huh, I never made the connection between Guantanamera and Guantanamo. Now I feel kind of silly about that!

I started buying singles with my allowance in 1971. "Jesus Christ Superstar" was the first one I ever purchased. "Saturday Morning Confusion" was the second.

Why was the One Saturday Morning intro about going to work?

That "Bump in the Night" intro made me flash back so hard my nose is bleeding.

Reboot got way serious drama near the end. It foreshadowed a common arc to be found years later in a wide range of web comics.
