The types of hybrid shows that were done in both the US and UK for years — the UK variation is essentially a Variety Show aimed at kids. Broadcast US television used to have a milder variety of this kind of program — and some were actually run five times a week, on weekdays — but they have almost entirely been phased out in favor of shows that are cheaper to produce and which have higher profit margins. (And most US networks have actually phased out all Saturday-morning children's fare entirely.) The genre seemed to be dead in the UK, Toonattik was the last real example and it dumped its presenters and become just a cartoon block before being axed at the end of 2010. However, The BBC brought back the format as Saturday Mash-Up! in 2017. They frequently include the following elements: Cartoons, often recycled theatrical shorts. Two or three noticeable presenters/hosts. On UK television, at least one of these will be a puppet character. Satires of popular TV shows (especially common with the UK variation — Taggart appears to have been done once, Doctor Who has been done far too many times to count). Celebrities being interviewed and/or singing. A live audience of young and old kids. Phone-in competitions (often involving things that require you to watch the cartoons). People getting Covered in Gunge. Childish humour. Parent Service. For Saturday Morning cartoons as shown in the US, rather than variety shows, see Saturday-Morning Cartoon. Compare and contrast Sunday Evening Drama Series, an unobjectionable, family-friendly series meant to air on Sunday night. |

La Planète de Donkey Kong (1996-2001), which featured cartoons interspersed with skits featuring the Donkey Kong Country cast's antics (in the show's earlier days, they were joined by the TV presenter Mélanie Angélie). Spun off the more well-known Donkey Kong Country. | |

The Krusty The Klown Show is a parody of these; Matt Groening and others acknowledge the anachronism. | |

The Aqua Bats Super Show is a sort of half-Homage, half-parody of these types of kids' shows. | |

You Can't Do That on Television started out as one of these (with live-action sketches instead of cartoons); the call-in segments were dropped as soon as the show was repackaged for sale to markets outside Ottawa and the music segments phased out after the first couple years while the Show Within a Show aspects of the link segments were played up, until what was left was a Sketch Comedy. | |
