From this point, she further explores Pokemon’s influence and the reaction of the networks at the time by analyzing Digimon, a Japanese program of the same servant-monster genre, and Jackie Chan Adventures, a popular American production, looking at how they either reflected these emerging foreign conventions or more traditional ones in this second stage of the cultural transition and Japanese integration on Saturday Morning.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011636"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011636"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011636; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011636]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011636]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011636; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011636']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011636]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011636,"title":"Pokémon: “Gotta Catch All the Success”","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011636/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gotta_Catch_All_the_Success_","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011635"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011635/The_Final_Years_of_Saturday_Morning"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Final Years of Saturday Morning" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011635/The_Final_Years_of_Saturday_Morning">The Final Years of Saturday Morning</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">In this chapter, O’Melia analyzes the final years of Saturday Morning in the United States.

She does this by demonstrating it was these tropes and conventions that acted as the unifying force between Tai Chi Chasers, a South Korean program, and Justice League Unlimited, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Iron Man: Armored Adventures, all American superhero programs based on intellectual properties that were not strangers to Saturday Morning scheduling.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011635"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011635"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011635; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011635]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011635]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011635; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011635']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011635]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011635,"title":"The Final Years of Saturday Morning","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011635/The_Final_Years_of_Saturday_Morning","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011632"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011632/Aftermath_Legacies_and_Conclusions"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Aftermath, Legacies, and Conclusions" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011632/Aftermath_Legacies_and_Conclusions">Aftermath, Legacies, and Conclusions</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">O’Melia concludes her examination of the fundamental shift that occurred within Saturday Morning ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">O’Melia concludes her examination of the fundamental shift that occurred within Saturday Morning by the integration of Japanese popular media after 1993, by exploring its various legacies on current American children’s media. First, she examines Cartoon Network’s “Toonami” block’s history and interaction with Saturday Morning and posits how it is staged to become Saturday Morning’s spiritual successor for the younger generations of Americans. She then asserts that the current increase in complex narratives for children emerged from Saturday Morning gradually making it desirable to its young audience. Finally, she highlights the effects Japanese popular media has made on modern comedic cartoons and then concludes with her final thoughts on the lasting legacy of the bygone institution of Saturday Morning.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011632"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011632"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011632; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011632]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011632]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011632; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011632']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011632]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011632,"title":"Aftermath, Legacies, and Conclusions","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011632/Aftermath_Legacies_and_Conclusions","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011631"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011631/Saturday_Morning_Conquered_How_It_Occurred"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Saturday Morning Conquered: How It Occurred" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/119953910/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011631/Saturday_Morning_Conquered_How_It_Occurred">Saturday Morning Conquered: How It Occurred</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">The dominance and eventual conquering of Saturday Morning in the United States was unpredictable ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The dominance and eventual conquering of Saturday Morning in the United States was unpredictable because even the inclusion of Japanese intellectual and cultural properties on the Saturday Morning schedule was uncommon, with notable exceptions such as Godzilla. As was mentioned in greater detail in Chapter 1, for decades Saturday Morning acted as the main block of time dedicated to American children's media. While there were children's programs aired during the weekdays, it was not as uniform across the country as the Saturday Morning schedule. Local network affiliates throughout the United States had the same liberty to use afterschool hours and Sundays for news, sports, or any other local programming as they did for children's programs. Saturday Morning, on the other hand, had been set aside for children's programs since the 1960s and advertisers presumed they would have an excited, young audience to watch their advertisements for toys, games, and other products between their shows. In short, there was money involved in Saturday Morning, so if a program was not popular, it would not remain long on the networks' schedules. Unpopular shows would be purged and replaced with something else in hopes that the new offering would receive ratings of seven or CHAPTER 2</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="71670f7256dd5ea595a6dcc58cb79d69" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":119953910,"asset_id":126011631,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119953910/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011631"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011631"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011631;

Then, despite the diverse genres of all four programs, she highlights the commonalities that united the series together and the narrative culture that had developed on Saturday Morning before the Japanese imports that began with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 1993.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011628"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011628"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011628; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011628]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011628]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011628; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011628']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011628]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011628,"title":"Foundation: What Were the Rules of Saturday Morning Before the Japanese Imports?","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011628/Foundation_What_Were_the_Rules_of_Saturday_Morning_Before_the_Japanese_Imports","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011627"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011627/Yu_Gi_Oh_The_Conquering_King_of_Saturday_Morning"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Conquering King of Saturday Morning" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011627/Yu_Gi_Oh_The_Conquering_King_of_Saturday_Morning">Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Conquering King of Saturday Morning</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">In this chapter, O’Melia addresses what Yu-Gi-Oh! is and how, unlike with Mighty Morphin Power Ra...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">In this chapter, O’Melia addresses what Yu-Gi-Oh! is and how, unlike with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Pokemon, it was able to be popular while not having to reflect traditional Saturday Morning conventions.

She does this by demonstrating it was these tropes and conventions that acted as the unifying force between Tai Chi Chasers, a South Korean program, and Justice League Unlimited, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Iron Man: Armored Adventures, all American superhero programs based on intellectual properties that were not strangers to Saturday Morning scheduling.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011625"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011625"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011625; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011625]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011625]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011625; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011625']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011625]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011625,"title":"The Final Years of Saturday Morning","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011625/The_Final_Years_of_Saturday_Morning","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011624"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011624/Saturday_Morning_Conquered_How_It_Occurred"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Saturday Morning Conquered: How It Occurred" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/119953865/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011624/Saturday_Morning_Conquered_How_It_Occurred">Saturday Morning Conquered: How It Occurred</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Japanese Influence on American Children's Television</span><span>, 2019</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">The dominance and eventual conquering of Saturday Morning in the United States was unpredictable ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The dominance and eventual conquering of Saturday Morning in the United States was unpredictable because even the inclusion of Japanese intellectual and cultural properties on the Saturday Morning schedule was uncommon, with notable exceptions such as Godzilla. As was mentioned in greater detail in Chapter 1, for decades Saturday Morning acted as the main block of time dedicated to American children's media. While there were children's programs aired during the weekdays, it was not as uniform across the country as the Saturday Morning schedule. Local network affiliates throughout the United States had the same liberty to use afterschool hours and Sundays for news, sports, or any other local programming as they did for children's programs. Saturday Morning, on the other hand, had been set aside for children's programs since the 1960s and advertisers presumed they would have an excited, young audience to watch their advertisements for toys, games, and other products between their shows. In short, there was money involved in Saturday Morning, so if a program was not popular, it would not remain long on the networks' schedules. Unpopular shows would be purged and replaced with something else in hopes that the new offering would receive ratings of seven or CHAPTER 2</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="101a729af6510adfe03ae882dc76c95a" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":119953865,"asset_id":126011624,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119953865/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011624"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011624"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011624;

She then asserts that the current increase in complex narratives for children emerged from Saturday Morning gradually making it desirable to its young audience.

From this point, she further explores Pokemon’s influence and the reaction of the networks at the time by analyzing Digimon, a Japanese program of the same servant-monster genre, and Jackie Chan Adventures, a popular American production, looking at how they either reflected these emerging foreign conventions or more traditional ones in this second stage of the cultural transition and Japanese integration on Saturday Morning.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011636"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011636"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011636; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011636]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011636]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011636; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011636']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011636]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011636,"title":"Pokémon: “Gotta Catch All the Success”","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011636/Pok%C3%A9mon_Gotta_Catch_All_the_Success_","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011635"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011635/The_Final_Years_of_Saturday_Morning"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Final Years of Saturday Morning" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011635/The_Final_Years_of_Saturday_Morning">The Final Years of Saturday Morning</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">In this chapter, O’Melia analyzes the final years of Saturday Morning in the United States.

She does this by demonstrating it was these tropes and conventions that acted as the unifying force between Tai Chi Chasers, a South Korean program, and Justice League Unlimited, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Iron Man: Armored Adventures, all American superhero programs based on intellectual properties that were not strangers to Saturday Morning scheduling.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011635"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011635"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011635; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011635]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011635]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011635; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011635']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011635]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011635,"title":"The Final Years of Saturday Morning","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011635/The_Final_Years_of_Saturday_Morning","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011632"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011632/Aftermath_Legacies_and_Conclusions"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Aftermath, Legacies, and Conclusions" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011632/Aftermath_Legacies_and_Conclusions">Aftermath, Legacies, and Conclusions</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">O’Melia concludes her examination of the fundamental shift that occurred within Saturday Morning ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">O’Melia concludes her examination of the fundamental shift that occurred within Saturday Morning by the integration of Japanese popular media after 1993, by exploring its various legacies on current American children’s media. First, she examines Cartoon Network’s “Toonami” block’s history and interaction with Saturday Morning and posits how it is staged to become Saturday Morning’s spiritual successor for the younger generations of Americans. She then asserts that the current increase in complex narratives for children emerged from Saturday Morning gradually making it desirable to its young audience. Finally, she highlights the effects Japanese popular media has made on modern comedic cartoons and then concludes with her final thoughts on the lasting legacy of the bygone institution of Saturday Morning.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011632"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011632"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011632; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011632]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011632]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011632; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011632']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011632]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011632,"title":"Aftermath, Legacies, and Conclusions","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011632/Aftermath_Legacies_and_Conclusions","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011631"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011631/Saturday_Morning_Conquered_How_It_Occurred"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Saturday Morning Conquered: How It Occurred" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/119953910/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011631/Saturday_Morning_Conquered_How_It_Occurred">Saturday Morning Conquered: How It Occurred</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">The dominance and eventual conquering of Saturday Morning in the United States was unpredictable ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The dominance and eventual conquering of Saturday Morning in the United States was unpredictable because even the inclusion of Japanese intellectual and cultural properties on the Saturday Morning schedule was uncommon, with notable exceptions such as Godzilla. As was mentioned in greater detail in Chapter 1, for decades Saturday Morning acted as the main block of time dedicated to American children's media. While there were children's programs aired during the weekdays, it was not as uniform across the country as the Saturday Morning schedule. Local network affiliates throughout the United States had the same liberty to use afterschool hours and Sundays for news, sports, or any other local programming as they did for children's programs. Saturday Morning, on the other hand, had been set aside for children's programs since the 1960s and advertisers presumed they would have an excited, young audience to watch their advertisements for toys, games, and other products between their shows. In short, there was money involved in Saturday Morning, so if a program was not popular, it would not remain long on the networks' schedules. Unpopular shows would be purged and replaced with something else in hopes that the new offering would receive ratings of seven or CHAPTER 2</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="71670f7256dd5ea595a6dcc58cb79d69" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":119953910,"asset_id":126011631,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119953910/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011631"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011631"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011631;

Then, despite the diverse genres of all four programs, she highlights the commonalities that united the series together and the narrative culture that had developed on Saturday Morning before the Japanese imports that began with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 1993.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011628"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011628"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011628; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011628]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011628]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011628; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011628']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011628]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011628,"title":"Foundation: What Were the Rules of Saturday Morning Before the Japanese Imports?","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011628/Foundation_What_Were_the_Rules_of_Saturday_Morning_Before_the_Japanese_Imports","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011627"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011627/Yu_Gi_Oh_The_Conquering_King_of_Saturday_Morning"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Conquering King of Saturday Morning" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011627/Yu_Gi_Oh_The_Conquering_King_of_Saturday_Morning">Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Conquering King of Saturday Morning</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">In this chapter, O’Melia addresses what Yu-Gi-Oh! is and how, unlike with Mighty Morphin Power Ra...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">In this chapter, O’Melia addresses what Yu-Gi-Oh! is and how, unlike with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Pokemon, it was able to be popular while not having to reflect traditional Saturday Morning conventions.

She does this by demonstrating it was these tropes and conventions that acted as the unifying force between Tai Chi Chasers, a South Korean program, and Justice League Unlimited, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Iron Man: Armored Adventures, all American superhero programs based on intellectual properties that were not strangers to Saturday Morning scheduling.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011625"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011625"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011625; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011625]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=126011625]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011625; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='126011625']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=126011625]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":126011625,"title":"The Final Years of Saturday Morning","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/126011625/The_Final_Years_of_Saturday_Morning","owner_id":329223546,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":329223546,"first_name":"Gina","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"O'Melia","page_name":"GinaOMelia","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2024-10-28T07:58:15.718-07:00","display_name":"Gina O'Melia","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/GinaOMelia"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="126011624"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011624/Saturday_Morning_Conquered_How_It_Occurred"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Saturday Morning Conquered: How It Occurred" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/119953865/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/126011624/Saturday_Morning_Conquered_How_It_Occurred">Saturday Morning Conquered: How It Occurred</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Japanese Influence on American Children's Television</span><span>, 2019</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">The dominance and eventual conquering of Saturday Morning in the United States was unpredictable ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The dominance and eventual conquering of Saturday Morning in the United States was unpredictable because even the inclusion of Japanese intellectual and cultural properties on the Saturday Morning schedule was uncommon, with notable exceptions such as Godzilla. As was mentioned in greater detail in Chapter 1, for decades Saturday Morning acted as the main block of time dedicated to American children's media. While there were children's programs aired during the weekdays, it was not as uniform across the country as the Saturday Morning schedule. Local network affiliates throughout the United States had the same liberty to use afterschool hours and Sundays for news, sports, or any other local programming as they did for children's programs. Saturday Morning, on the other hand, had been set aside for children's programs since the 1960s and advertisers presumed they would have an excited, young audience to watch their advertisements for toys, games, and other products between their shows. In short, there was money involved in Saturday Morning, so if a program was not popular, it would not remain long on the networks' schedules. Unpopular shows would be purged and replaced with something else in hopes that the new offering would receive ratings of seven or CHAPTER 2</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="101a729af6510adfe03ae882dc76c95a" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":119953865,"asset_id":126011624,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/119953865/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011624"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011624"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011624;

First, she examines Cartoon Network’s “Toonami” block’s history and interaction with Saturday Morning and posits how it is staged to become Saturday Morning’s spiritual successor for the younger generations of Americans. She then asserts that the current increase in complex narratives for children emerged from Saturday Morning gradually making it desirable to its young audience. Finally, she highlights the effects Japanese popular media has made on modern comedic cartoons and then concludes with her final thoughts on the lasting legacy of the bygone institution of Saturday Morning.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011621"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011621"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011621;

Then, despite the diverse genres of all four programs, she highlights the commonalities that united the series together and the narrative culture that had developed on Saturday Morning before the Japanese imports that began with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 1993.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011618"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011618"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011618;

From this point, she further explores Pokemon’s influence and the reaction of the networks at the time by analyzing Digimon, a Japanese program of the same servant-monster genre, and Jackie Chan Adventures, a popular American production, looking at how they either reflected these emerging foreign conventions or more traditional ones in this second stage of the cultural transition and Japanese integration on Saturday Morning.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126011617"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126011617"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126011617;
