One thing I remember about Saturday morning cartoons in the 1970s out here on the West Coast is that they were too often preempted by sports. Years later, as Fox was playing out the last seasons of Futurama, they dumped the show on Sunday night at 7, which was usually preempted by football on the East Coast. I wouldn't have known it except for the complaints on message boards. But as I read them I couldn't help having a smug sense that finally geography worked in my favor, and someone else was having their cartoon preempted by sports.
