Imagine waking up early, armed with a cereal bowl the size of a cauldron, ready to dive headfirst into worlds filled with superheroes, talking animals, and magical adventures. This is where nostalgia reigns supreme, and in this premiere episode of Growing Up Geek, we rewind the tape to explore the golden era of Saturday Morning Cartoons!

From the whimsical adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle in the 60s to the lessons of Schoolhouse Rock in the 70s, and the toy-fueled chaos of the 80s, we trace the history of the beloved tradition that turned Saturday mornings into a sacred weekly ritual for generations of kids. With every channel flip, we revisit groundbreaking shows, cultural shifts, and the rise of cartoons that were equal parts entertaining and commercial.

Your host, Steeven Orr, invites you to relive those fleeting hours where childhood stress melted away, cereal fueled our imaginations, and the TV screen promised untold adventures. Grab your Fruity Pebbles, settle into your shag carpet throne, and press play—it’s time to geek out like it’s 1983!

Growing Up Geek is your nostalgia-fueled time machine, celebrating the media that shaped us and the moments that defined us.
