My Kids have gone RETRO....

[Willow]

in their cartoon watching! LOLOL :eek: :p :rolleyes:

We recently acquired the first season of She-Ra on DVD and the first 15 episodes of Voltron!! My kids LOVE them!!

I remember watching both when I was a kid and it has been lots of fun watching them again with my kids.

Kody asked me if there was a She-Ra for boys LOLOL and my husband said He-Man was before She-Ra so now we gotta find a He-Man dvd for the boys. LOL

[Janet]

WOW do I feel old on this forum sometimes...LOLOL

I've never heard of those.....

I am glad your kids enjoy them and you get to take a trip down memory lane...:)

[Willow]

They were cartoons from the 80's...I was just a little snot then. LOL

[Marilyn]

Now true retro would be Mighty Mouse, Popeye, Speedy Gonzales, Donald Duck, Elmer Fudd & Daffy Duck, to name a few....

My daughters would probably say the Smurfs are retro. :D

Oh yea! My kids LOVE all of those. We found some of them on DVD at Walmart for $1...they have Popeye, the old Superman cartoon, and Woody Woodpecker...all for a $1 each! I have been looking for the Bugs Bunny Cartoon Craze (that is what the DVD's are called with the original cartoons on them) but I haven't been able to find it.

If it is a cartoon, or has animals in it, my kids will watch it. Right now they want to go see Happy Feet. :)

Now those were the GOOD cartoons. I can't hardly stand listening to cartoons now. I'm glad my son has outgrown most, notice I say most?

Hey, I still watch cartoons! LOL I never outgrew them! :D

[Brooke]

Well I must be old cause I don't know the carttona Willow was talking about either!!! But I remember one i loved when I was very young...

There was a cat, and a mouse, and the cat LOVED the mouse named eggnats. The mouse hates the cat and throws bricks at her head all the time, and when she gets hit little hearts float up tward heaven and her eyes get all dreamy!!! There is also a dog who is a police man...

Any one remember this cartoon.... ANY ONE?


I also loved David and Golith with the talking dog.

[DianaB]

I've never heard of those cartoons either. I must be really old!!!! I DO know who the Smurfs are because my kids watched them!!!

My 4 year old grandson is in to cowboys and he got really interested in the old Lone Ranger shows. When my son would put the show in my grandson would start pretending that he was a cowboy and that he was on a horse and start running around the living room. It was pretty cute to watch!!

OH I remember David and Goliath!! LOVED IT!!! We used to watch Gumby too...does anyone remember Gumby???

How about the Snorks??? lol

Scooby Doo and Tom and Jerry were other favorites of mine. My mom said when I was a toddler I always wanted to watch Tom and Jerry and I would ask for a pickle and coke for a snack while watching. (:eek: I can't believe she gave me coke!!! I never let my kids drink that stuff!! They are lucky if I let them taste rootbeer!! Pop is soooo unhealthy!!)

I loved Gumby and pockey!!! I went out and bought the toys of Gumby and pockey because I was teaching the kids to make clay people and tried to tell them to make them kind of flat like gumby and they had no idea what I was talking about! i went out and bought the toys to use as samples!!!! They were in my class room for a long time hanging out with us LOL!

[Marilyn]

These cartoons we're mentioning were all so good, and entertaining for children. I really don't understand why they are putting the cartoons on the air that they do on Saturday mornings. Most don't look appropriate for children.

They really need to bring back the old ones. I'll have to look for them on DVD for future grandchildren if/when we have some. We would probably enjoy watching them as well, and my daughters have probably never seen the ones I used to watch.

Try looking at Walmart in the toy department! They have some of the older cartoons on DVD for $1!!!!

They also have some Scooby Doo cartoons (old version not the new one) and some Batman and Robin, Superman, and Thomas the Train on DVD but they are about $9.98 each I think. Still, not a bad price to have quality cartoons for the kiddos.

We don't let the kids watch the Saturday morning cartoons anymore because they aren't anything like when I was a kid. :thumbdwn:

[Kimberley]

OH MAN!!!!! The Bugs Bunny & Roadrunner Show, Tom & Jerry, The Smurfs, The Carebears...just to name a couple but Tom & Jerry has ALWAYS been my favorite!

[Janet]

There sure don't make cartoons like they use to, that's for sure. These now are so high tech, I just don't enjoy them or listening to them.

We also use to have the serial shows on Saturday morning like Rin Tin Tin, Sky King, Fury, My Friend Flicka, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. Now those were good shows. I also enjoyed Lassie, but that was either on Sat. or Sun. night.

[Tink]

Janet, I remember the saturday morning series you mentioned. I loved Rin Tin Tin, Fury, and Flicka! Lassie was Sunday nights at 6 :o

My kids have watched some of the others listed by younger members, but the newer ones I have seen with my GRANDdaughter. LOL

[Marilyn]

Remember Mr. Ed??? Wasn't on Saturday morning, but that was such a cool show. Ahhhh...memories.....

[Tink]

Oh yes! Mr Ed, Archie, and Dennis the Menace... lol

For those who think TV has gotten too violent though, I will admit to watching COMBAT every week with my Dad. We also watched boxing.

This was back in the day when Mayberry RFD, I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners were top rated shows. I wish Dean Martin was still on... in spite of him smoking and drinking during his show, it was still considered family viewing. ;)

Oh MAN how times have changed!

[Janet]

There really are not too many good shows on now like there were back then. That's why there are only a few that I watch. I still like mostly comedies. I love to laugh.

Remember how funny Red Skelton's show was. He was hilarious. I use to love the Hollywood Palace. Remember that one? It had different celebrities on singing, dancing...etc., showing their talent.

You're going to make fun of me now, but remember when the Beatles first came to America and were on the Ed Sullivan Show? They were on for like 3 or 4 Sundays in a row. When it was their last show, I cried. Can you believe it? LMAO!!!!!!!
