The other day, I found myself reminiscing with friends about childhood days. More specifically, about childhood cartoons that we all enjoyed and wished were still on the air.
I began to see, through the conversation, how each show had helped to shape each of us. Every cartoon that we became addicted to as a kid added to our character, our personality. In honor of these wonderful additions to my generation’s upbringing, I would like to feature clips of some of the favorites. This isn’t really an article so much as an homage to the days of yester-year. Ah, to be young again!
Amongst the guys, the favorites were:
He-Man seemed the most popular. I found their YouTube page, which features a few full episodes.
A few of the odd ones from the boys were my friend, Matt, (who requested JabberJaw, “I mean come on, who can’t love a talking shark that quotes Rodney Dangerfield…lol”)
and my own brother (that I can blame for this one).
Though, I had forgotten this one existed, my partner brought it up and numerous others concurred.
From the ladies, we liked….
Guys and Girls seemed to agree on a few cartoons.
Gwen had her favorites too…
Then there is me and the cartoons that I love(d).
A few people suggested shows that weren’t necessarily cartoons but remain beloved favorites of kid-dom.
Alf was both animated and live action.
And finally, the creme-de-la-creme for us all…..
Maybe watching these videos will make you, like me, feel old. However, sometimes, we just need to relive the good “old” days!
As a kid I loved: ScoobyDoo, She-Ra, Jem (how was that not on the list?!), Duck Tales & Thundercats. Aaaah, the memories…
There was also:
-Robocop the Animated Series
-MASK (one of the coolest cartoons ever)
-DinoSaucers (dinosaurs from outer space that were human-sized and could talk, but they had a button on their armor that turned them into actual dinosaurs)
-Popples
-Wuzzles (the coolest cartoon about cross-bred animals)
-Denver the Last Dinosaur
-Pound Puppies
-ProStars (a secret-government agency that consisted of Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Bo Jackson)
-Captain Nintendo and the Power Squad
I need to Netflix all of these…
