Japanese Influence on American Children’s Television: Transforming Saturday Morning by Gina O’Melia. Palgrave Macmillan.
Japanese animated shows are ubiquitous these days. There is hardly a streamer or channel in North America that doesn’t serve up some form of Japanese or Japanese-influenced series. You can’t scroll through Netflix without bumping into one. My own kids (mid-teens) watch more Japanese shows than anything else these days.
As obvious as that sounds to contemporary readers, it certainly wasn’t always that way, as Gina O’Melia, adjunct professor at the Division of Social Sciences at Hudson County Community College, makes clear in her new book about America’s tradition of Saturday Morning (O’Melia capitalizes both letters) programming. And I can confirm this as a kid growing up with Saturday Morning shows in the 1970s.

What’s the RX for Dr. Jill
The great thing about the “Dr. Jill Biden” issue is that it means the Bidens and the media will double down on this pathetic pretension and remind a large swath of the population the condescending elitism at the heart of liberalism today. This, at the same time liberalism is agonizing over the need to overthrow the whole idea of meritocracy, which is the invention of an older liberalism, because our conventions of meritocracy (things like test scores, academic performance in difficult fields, etc) are not kind to liberalism’s favored victim groups just now.
