Bye, childhood.
The CW became the final network to cut cartoons from their Saturday morning lineup last Saturday, replacing their programming block called "The Vortexx" with five hours of family-oriented, non-animated TV called "One Magnificent Morning."

Though cartoons dominated the morning time slots from the 1960s to the 1980s, sometimes bringing in more than 20 million viewers, it all began to change when NBC swapped cartoons for teen comedies like Saved By The Bell in 1992, the Washington Post reported.
ABC and CBS soon followed, and in 2008, Fox ended their cartoon run for infomercials.
By 2003, cartoons were bringing in just 2 million viewers, a huge drop from 20 years before.
