I have been thinking a lot about my childhood memories and I miss so many things about it. The years and time are going by ever so quickly and there has been a vast change in everything since then. A lot has happened since then and it makes me appreciate on what life was before, but I also appreciate now too. My Childhood had its ups and downs. Downs at School when I was bullied ever so much, and Ups as soon as I left school to carry on about my life with my family. At Lunch time I would come home, and during the weekends after My Saturday Armenian School, I would enjoy the weekend cartoons. I rarely missed episodes of my favourite cartoons and it would take my mind off of my bullies in school and everything else I would laugh so hard.
Some of my favourite cartoons were Bugs Bunny & Tweety show, Anamaniacs, Flinstones, Sailor Moon, Disney Cartoons. Beetle Juice and Inspector Gadget. These are some of the few that come to my mind right now as I used to watch them most. I miss those shows a lot. I wish these can be reruns now. I don’t see any of these on TV Anymore. I really wish they can come back. I hope they resurface again soon. I would love to relive my childhood moments and so that now I can understand these cartoons more better and laugh all over again.
So sweet how God provides sparks of joy to help us get through the hard times. What a blessing you have with those cartoon memories!
I’ve always enjoyed the cartoons growing up. I don’t watch TV as much now even though I have cable. Of course, cable wasn’t even acquired by my grandmother until the 1980s. My watching TV was considered “edutainment”: Sesame Street, Electric Company, Mister Roger’s Neigborhood, and 3-2-1 Contact after homework was done. As far as the cartoons, I enjoyed the Thundercats, Looney Tunes, Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, Laff-a-Lympics, and SuperFriends. I could go on with a long list of cartoons LOL
My personal favorite cartoon as a teen was Pinky & The Brain!
There is a channel called Boomerang where they show old school cartoons all day long, but it doesn’t come with basic cable:( Instead of paying, I just bought several DVD’s of all my favorite cartoons and when I’m bored or depressed, I watch them to feel better.
I totally relate, both to the “time going by” theme, and also to reminiscing about cartoons. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when the Cartoon Network came out – here were cartoons that generally when a kid I could only watch on Saturday mornings, or Bugs Bunny after school, or the seasonal Charlie Brown or Christmas cartoons. But now we had this channel on which I could watch Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space and any odd hour of the day or night! What a trip! The other day, we watched the animated movie Rio and really enjoyed it.
Ohh, mine were Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker, Mighty Mouse and Disney cartoons, but I mean the really old ones. They always had them on reruns, alongs with The Flinstones, Scooby Doo and Yogi Bear. Also Betty Boop! Love them all!
three is company LooooooooooooooooooooL Yaba daba dooooooooooo yepp gr eat times..enjoy
Hi Talin,
Childhood cartoons were fun, and I also like it when they come around again. It was fun when our kids were growing up, as we got to see them all over again.
What you wrote recalled mine, I have watched Flinstones and Sailor Moon too. Referring to popular disney cartoon in my childhood,should be Tom&Jerry.And there were 2 episodes on TV Of each anime at most everyda,but felt satisfied before.
Thanks for posting this it made me think of my favorite cartoons as a kid too. It put a morning smile on my face
I forgot about Sailor Moon. My daughter loved. Thanks for the memory.
I am a huge fan of the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons. I was a member of Netflicks for a while and was able to rent DVDs of the classic Looney Tunes. I enjoyed every minute while watching them.
Cartoons are not good now-a-days.
I didn’t know Beetlejuice was a cartoon! The first time I saw it was in the movies – I think it was a Tim Burton film. I like some of the same ones as you did. Did you ever watch ‘Top Cat’?
