We had no TV when I was a kid in Jamaica until I was 10.  Then we had 1 channel from 6pm till 10pm.  No cartoons.  We'd watch the test pattern for about 15 minutes waiting for reception then Romper Room then Agricultural News where we learned all kinds of interesting stuff like how to deworm livestock or artificially inseminate cattle , a calf or shoe horses.  Bonanza came on at eight o'clock but our bedtime was at 8:30 so we never saw more than half an episode.  At boarding school there was no TV at all and we were never allowed to read comic books as my Mom thought that was a lazy way of getting a story and wanted us to read real books.  When I came to Canada and people talked about their childhood pastimes I felt like I was from another planet. AND none of my friends could climb a coconut tree or dig for worms with a machete or roast a breadfruit.  Heck none of them had ever even owned a machete.

The Flinstones, The Jetsons, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Yogi the Bear, Mighty Mouse, Tom & Jerry.  Looney Tunes was a definite must.

my favorite show, at the embarrassment of my children
I watch it during dialysis and when I get home
my last year of teaching a student gave me a pair of his Sponge Bob underwear, they were new in the package
I made a bulletin board using them---- I taught 7-12 grades, not elementary

In addition to the ones I've seen mentioned (I'm all about the looney tunes) and I wasn't exactly a kid at the time but the smurfs in the '80s and I loved the Animaniacs when they were around - I think in the early '90s

Land of the Lost was AWESOME!  I used to think it was so real looking.  I saw an episode about 5 years ago and it was so bad,  :rofl;.  I still remember the end of intro song.


Does anyone remember Creature Double Feature on Saturday Mornings?  I love old Godzilla movies and that flying turtle guy too.

Talk about a trip down memory lane.  When we first had TV in Barbados (1965), it was on from 6pm to about 11pm and we used to sit from about 5.50 watching the test pattern!!!!!!  And we had Romper Room too!!!  thankfully, no agricultural news!

Now about cartoons,  I LOVE THEM ALL!!  Even at this old age!  I was able to use my daughter as a excuse for watching them when she was a child.  Now I have my grandson as an excuse!  From Flinstones to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends!!!

Ok I guess I must just love cartoons because i have a huge list and there are more I can't think of the names of that I used to love.

Looney Toons, Tiny Toons, Tom & Jerry, Houses and Vehicles of the Future (MGM cartoons that showed what they thought the future would be like), Popeye, Pink Panther, Huckleberry Hound, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, The Hair Bear Bunch, Magilla Gorilla, Casper, Mighty Mouse, Danger Mouse, Rocky & Bullwinkle (Fractured Fairy Tales & Mr. Peabody too), Animaniacs, Voltron, Super Friends, Smurfs, Dungeons & Dragons, Underdog, Flintstones, Jetsons, Speed Racer, Spider-Man, Captain Caveman, He-Man, She-Ra, G-Force, Thundercats, Chili Willie the Penguin, Woody Woodpecker, George of the Jungle, Dudley Dooright.......and the list continues.  I agree with the other too about Land Of The Lost.  Great show.  I liked Great Space Coaster too.

I remember running home from grade school with my brothers (Yes, we WALKED to school!!!)  We had to do the breakfast and lunch dishes (no dishwasher back in those days) before we could turn on the TV.  At 4pm Captain Ernie's Cartoon Showboat came on and we were riveted for the next hour.  Looney Tunes, Mickey Mouse, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Jetsons, etc., anything from that era.  My favorite from Saturday morning was Johnny Quest.  I thought Race Banning was so cool!

Vavoom and his big mouth. I was teaching my daughter to drive a few weeks ago and told her I learned how to do turns and curves from Speed racer. Decelerate going in, accelerate coming out. I don't remember exactly how Speed worded it, but it helped.  :rofl;
