One Saturday Morning (1997–1998) User Reviews

Really Not That Bad

[Ginger87 · 4 August 2004]

"One Saturday Morning" was one of the best Saturday morning kid shows. I started watching it when it began back in 1997 and watched it until it ended in 2002. I watched it with "Doug", "Recess", and "Pepper Ann". And I also watched it with "The Weekenders". I enjoyed all these shows.

I thought Meme was a good host for the show and I liked Charlie. "The Tube Dwellers" were funny and I loved Jellyroll the elephant and Derby the mouse. I also liked the "Whats The Diff's"!

I enjoyed every second of this show. In fact my friend and I always called each other after it ended to talk about how we thought the episode was.

"One Saturday Morning" deserves 10/10 stars and I hope to find all of the episodes on Ebay so I could buy them.

I love the cartoons, but get rid of MeMe

For some reason, the part of ONE SATURDAY MORNING that wasn't part of the three cartoons they showed was fairly enjoyable a couple years ago. Then it all went down the drain when they screwed with the line-up. First, after a successful run of DOUG, RECESS, and PEPPER ANN (in that order), they bring in THE WEEKENDERS, which is ok but not as good as the other three, replacing PEPPER ANN's time slot. Then PEPPER ANN replaced 101 DALMATIANS: THE SERIES, for good. Then they insulted everyone by bringing in SABRINA: THE ANIMATED SERIES! What an awful pile of BS that is! It's one of the worst cartoons I've ever even looked at, right up there with the Barbie show and the Street Fighter cartoon.

The only thing that could save the show now is if they put PEPPER ANN and 101 DALMATIANS back in their original time slots, add MICKEY MOUSE WORKS to the DOUG-RECESS-PEPPER ANN line-up, and replace SABRINA with WEEKENDERS.

Also, most of the people on the show are getting very annoying. MeMe especially. Her "friendships" with Jelly Roll (a waste of Brad Garrett) and Derby the mouse are painfully un-funny. Ms. Moose is a dumb AND pointless character. The segments featuring things like "Flipbook", "Dance Break", "Dance Manny Dance", "The Roller Coasters", Manny going around America, "The Monkey Boys", and "How Much Stuff Could an Elephant Crush?" should be banned from television. But I do enjoy "Centerville" and "Tube Dwellers". "Great Minds Think For Themselves", "Find Out Why", and "What's the Diff?" are all right.

I plan to stay a faithful viewer of DOUG, RECESS, PEPPER ANN, and MICKEY MOUSE WORKS, but I wish Disney/ABC would read this comment and the other three comments posted here, and make some changes.

I like the original version better!

I liked this show a lot when it began, but now that Phil and Charlie have taken off and left Manny with Jellyroll the Elephant and Meme, and replaced "Miss Munger's Class" with "Tube Dwellers", I don't like it as much. However, I still watch it. I will always miss Jessica Prunell as Charlie!

Not as good as it used to be...

When "One Saturday Morning" first came out, I thought it was a great compilation of new and different shows. Also, it was a different way to present these cartoons.

However, now it is wayyy tooo trendy. Everyone wears trendy clothing with the trendy style... it's very sickening. I think the quality of the entertainment from Jellyroll is not as good as that of Manny, Phil, and Charlie. They even cut out Mrs. Munger's Class, which was a brilliant 5 minute show. "One Saturday Morning" is more fluff than enjoyable programming.

They really dumbed the program down, and it doesn't have the same appeal for older kids or kids-at-heart as it did before. I will always miss Travis Wester as Phil!!

One more reason to sleep in on Saturday mornings

[Op_Prime · 27 June 2000]

If all the networks ran garbage like this on their Saturday morning programming, I would sleep in every Saturday. This show is pathetic and thinks if they act trendy it will attract viewers. That's Disney for you. And Paul Rugg... for shame, working on such a stupid show. Your talents are wasted at One Saturday Morning. Go back to good television before it's too late.

I'm glad this is gone!

Well the horrible sketches are, which is why this show was so bad. I hated it how everyone dressed all trendy, and god everyone on this show was mediocre. I hated a few of the short cartoons like "Centerville" since they were dumb and sensless (god, why did Rob Paulsen decide to do that?) but stuff like "Tubedwellers", and the shorts with Timon, and Pumbaa were good. Still I'm glad the sketches are gone. Oh yeah, and Paul Rugg, don't ever do something like this again OK?

It sucks

I still watch it, but I miss Charlie and that other dude, who they replaced with Mimi. CHARLIE ROCKED! I remembered her from the babysitters club tv show, but she's much better in this one! It's pretty boring, but I like the Weekenders and Recess. A little trivia: the ex-main character of "So Weird" appeared in a commercial for Disney's one Ssaturday morning.
