    thenit would be outside all day until my mom called us in for dinner
    can't remember the shows back then but the likes of... beverly hillbillies, room 222, courtship of eddies father, or if a western was on cuddled up in my moms bed with her watching a western.....

    beverly hillbillies crossed my era...

    Depends...some mornings it was cartoons. If we were in Delaware, we'd be out on the bay fishing or crabbing :)

    I could had roll with you! My dad took my family fishing and crabbing too...

    Judging by your choice of cartoons...we would've gotten along famously :bigsmile:

    When I was a kid I would wake up early to watch cartoons, switching between 3 or 4 channels to watch all the good ones. I'd have to wake up around 6am or so to watch Dragonball! I would still wake up early and watch cartoons on Saturday, but it doesn't exist the way it did when I was a kid (or even the way it was 10 years ago). Kids today just get horribly drawn lazyness on special cartoon channels. :cry:

    Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Underdog, Mighty Mouse and Rocky & Bullwinkle. Fruity Pebbles, Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries, or Cookie Crisp or BooBerry, and a glass of Nestle Quik. Spent the day playing outside... riding my bike, climbing trees, roller skating, or playing in the woods, riding a paddleboat and fishing in the Poconos at our family cabin.

    Do you remember having an encyclopedic knowledge of the TV guide? I could tell you whenever anything was on... Now I forget when anything is on... too many channels of crap... t'is why I try to stick to the History Channels and jeopardy... (with the occasional guilty-pleasure reality program or Ancient Aliens... you know, just in case they take over the world... the RealiTards, not the aliens.)

    When I was a kid there was this cartoon called Jem and the Holograms. They sang and they were always going up against these bad girls called the Misfits. When Jem was not spending time being a rock star, she had a normal life and went by the name Jerrica. She had this computer/mirror thingy called Synergy that could change her from one to the other. If I remember right she had to touch her earring to make the transformation happen. Ridiculous cartoon, but my first name is Jerica, so I thought it was awesome! I could never get a personalized bracelet or license plate for my bike as a kid because they never had my name. But it was okay, because Jerrica Benton a.k.a. Jem shared my name, lol.

    On Saturday mornings I would sit down with a big ol' bowl of Rice Krispies (with like a half cup of sugar in it) and whatch me some Jem and the Holograms as they took on the Misfits!

    Oh memories - I am sitting here right now singing the theme song :-) "Jem. Jem is excitement, oooh Jem. Jem is adventure. Ooh Ooh. Glamour and glitter, fashion and fame......:laugh:
