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.

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.

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

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

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!
