so today as i was channel surfing ( sometimes when don is not home, i do that, but don't tell him). anyway i was amazed at what they call cartoons these days. What happened to the good ol' cartoons like 'casper the friendly ghost', 'the flinstones', 'huckleberry hound', 'mickey mouse', and 'yogi bear'. kids these days have no idea what a "REAL" cartoon is, and that makes me sad.
these cartoons were such a big part of my life. saturday morning cartoons were the best! we could watch them all day, and mom didn't have to worry about what we were seeing on t.v. they were on after school and i even remember watching 'huckleberry hound' and 'quick draw mcgraw' at night. other favorites were, 'tweety bird', 'porky pig', 'popeye and olive oil' (why do you think kids liked spinach so much... because they wanted to be strong like popeye!) 'roadrunner' and 'tom and jerry". am i really dating myself, or does anyone else remember when we were able to watch "REAL" cartoons.

i remember when watching saturday morning cartoon's was like the highlight of the week! we would get up at like 6:30 to watch them. that's so funny that you posted about that. just this morning at 6:45 as i was laying in bed listening to wizard of oz that my girls want to watch every day...i was thinking about sleeping over at your house and getting up early to watch cartoons. i was making myself feel better by thinking...jacki didn't get up with us while we watched saturday morning cartoons and she was a good mom so i'm ok to go back to sleep while they watch tv...right?:)
