** In the 1970s and most of the 1980s, Creator/{{NBC}}'s SaturdayMorningCartoon bumpers featured main themes during the late 1970s were "Fun Machine" and "Saturday Morning Fever." In the fall of 1979 and through most of the 1980s, generic introductions were used, featuring Creator/CaseyKasem saying, "[Show x] will be back after these messages]." By the late 1980s, medium blending – including miniature sets and animated figures among them – were used in the bumpers. Also in the mid-1980s, popular characters from several of NBC's (primarily) situation comedies would often announce the out-ros and intros. Going into the 1990s, NBC used stop motion for a "Secret Saturday Morning Club" with three performers trying various acts for kids with different results. After that came the Creator/KlaskyCsupo made "Perpetual Grinning Man" ads which were a mix of stop-motion and traditional animation. That would last until the final years when cartoons would be on the network with Chip and Pepper, a pair who had their own Saturday morning show that would do some silly activities in-between shows.

* Creator/{{NBC}}, when they had kids shows at the time, had a few though rarely anything flashy. In the 70s it was various character suddenly doing a disco dance since it was "Saturday Morning Fever". After that it was just the generic "be right back/back to our show" bumpers up until the mid 80s which at least spiced it up with a 3D roller coaster going into a tunnel. Late 80s saw them do some medium blending with miniature sets and animated figure. But went back to generic when characters from their live action shows at time announcing when a show was going to be back. That moved on into a rather freaky amalgamation of a kids head with different feature for the bumpers. Going into the '90s saw them do some stop motion for a "Secret Saturday Morning Club" with three performers trying various acts for kids with different results. After that came the Creator/KlaskyCsupo made "Perpetual Grinning Man" ads which were a mix of stop-motion and traditional animation.

* Saturday Morning Cartoons: Each of the Big Three networks – ABC, CBS and NBC – had these, from at least the mid-1970s through the last years each network ended their cartoon lineups. Examples:
** ABC had two signature sets:
*** The most famous was a series of Claymation bumpers where the characters would sing the line "After these messages will be right back!" (One of the most catchy can be seen here: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vI0UcUxzrQ "After these messages... we'll be riiiight back!"]].) The sets – which ran from 1987-1990 and again from 1992-1994, included a doo-wop group, a dog and fire hydrant, and a cowboy.
*** The second-most famous aired from 1980-1985 and featured an announcer, over a music bed, saying "We'll return to our show after these messages." This set – which included an underwater submarine, a window shade, a clock and others – was retained for the ''ABC Weekend Special'', even into the late 1990s.
*** A fairly comprehensive list from the late 1970s to early 2000s can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuEjjmGVA98 here]].
*** ABC's One Saturday Morning and its successors, ABC Kids and Litton's Weekend Adventure, all used these.
*** ABC's version of ''The Wonderful World of Disney'' (when it was a movie block) used these. To throw off fast-forwarders, a bumper was often included in the middle of the break saying, "We will continue in a moment."

** Like its competitors, CBS had a number of bumpers as well, including ones using Fido Dido, which can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUDZKgmnLfc here]].
** In its early years, Creator/FoxKids used a kid named Wilby Baxter (a play on "we'll be right back") in its bumpers. Several years later, they would present a question to a bizarre fact before the break, and reveal the answer upon return.
** Actually, they had a ton of these with different characters, Wilby just being one of them. Others included two aliens watching a TV, two military ox doing training drills and would often flub them, an ''actual'' fox doing various activities, a British deer and a Cajun lamb couple doing various household chores, an incompetent superhero called Fox Man who would mess up his saves or end up doing something embarrassing, an owner trying to get his dog named Loafie to do tricks, an old lady who would be constantly annoyed by a fly, a man trying to do karate which would end with him doing something embarrassing or his strikes not doing anything effective (often hurting himself in the process), a pair of children dressed up in 50's wear dancing and hanging out, a very brief one with another superhero name Sloth Man who as he name suggests does things very slowly, and another superhero this one named Pre-Historic Man who would try save the day in caveman times and of course would flub it. Action shows also had their own bumpers often depicting generic character doing something action-y (Climbing a building, jumping their car over a gap, riding a rocket, etc).
** Back in the early 1990s, when it was known as the Fox Kids Network, there used to be bumpers that featured [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EiC8nlGwwc a fox that had a traditionally animated head with a stop motioned animated body]] that would do various activities such as riding on a roller coaster and playing a piano.
** Around 1992, Fox Kids introduced [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTjSQChrJ1I bumpers featuring its character]] Dynamo Duck. However, ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' each had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mteDcIvNM3A special]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I5IHkGw7O4 exclusive]] bumpers for its "Fox Action Theater" lineup; the former featuring a hand (presumably Robin's) shining a flashlight and a shadow of Batman walking by in the background, while the latter featured Wolverine walk over the credits while Jubilee popped up in front of the logo.

* The Creator/DisneyChannel, back in the 1980s to early 1990s, had claymation bumpers usually depicting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2swge5kyNCE Mickey Mouse Logos]] hounding WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vaw3zfO1hg the daily exploits of Mickey Mouse]], or simply an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z6TJD-jrok interesting visual that eventually turned into the Disney Channel logo.]] 80's kids have been known to break down into tears of nostalgia upon seeing them on Youtube for the first time since childhood.
** These days, a Disney star will appear and declare, [[MadLibsCatchphrase "I'm (name) from (applicable Disney production) and you're watching Disney Channel!"]] Then said actor/actress would draw the logo, sometimes noticing an error in the logo and fixing it, and sometimes saying a comment after the logo is done. This actually shows up before the next program, instead of going to a break. Also doubles as StationIdent (both on live-action ones and the animated ones below). It's become rather iconic for those who grew up watching the channel during the 2000s or early 2010s.
*** The recent newer one still does the same above (minus drawing errors and fixing it), but after it's drawn, the drawing zooms out to reveal the new logo, as the Mickey Mouse logo ends up being the dotted I in the new logo. [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=c6cuYZGvv3s Here's an example of the new one]] with Creator/PiperCurda from ''Series/IDidntDoIt''.
** Shows based on animated programs had no dialogue but the characters creating the logo after some small antics I.E: [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries Stitch would crawl across the screen while Lilo looks on annoyed before wrestling the glowy stick pen from her and make the logo.]] [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Ron would try to get the pen to work before Kim would flip in and take it. Drawing the logo with Rufus sliding down it]]. [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Perry crawling onto the screen before donning his hat and using a laser pen to create the logo while the wall behind it collapses to reveal Doofenshmirtz about to hit a button before running away]] Etc. Heck even the animated [[Series/LizzieMcGuire Lizzie]] had one with her messing around with the stick before drawing the logo.
*** It's gotten to the point where characters from other Disney franchises might show up. I.E: [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Mickey looks at himself in a mirror and draws his head]], [[Franchise/DisneyFairies Tinker Bell creates a machine that draws the logo]], [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Rex can't find a wand so he uses Mr. Potato Head's arm]], Etc. There was even occasions where Franchise/TheMuppets got to try it out, and one bumper featured [[Franchise/StarWars BB-8]].
