Back in
the Glory Days of my Childhood,
kids would greatly
anticipate the
weekend so they could get up earlier than they would on a school day to watch
Saturday morning cartoons. We'd sit in front of the
television for hours eating
sweet cereal ("
candy for breakfast" is what my dad called 'em) and watch cartoons like "
Scooby-Doo," "
Jonny Quest," "
The Hair Bear Bunch," "
Transformers," "
Josie and the Pussycats," "
Speed Buggy," "
Mighty Man and Yukk," "
Super Friends," "
Jabberjaw," "
Land of the Lost," "
The Smurfs," "
H. R. Pufinstuf," "The
Bugs Bunny/
Roadrunner Hour," "
Laffalympics," "
Masters of the Universe," and many,
many, many others.
Nowadays, they still have some
good cartoons on
TV, but they play them all through the
week, so getting up
early to watch cartoons on Saturday isn't as
important to kids as it once was.
