What I'm Reading This Week #13
Friday is finally here! Can I get a woot woot?! (Cheers to those who actually did it.) The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam! Friday. We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday. The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys! Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no. We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house. Soon enough I guess. You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway. So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get. Enjoy. 😄 I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...
All of those Saturday cartoons except somehow I missed The Littles as I think when that was on I had to switch over to another channel that showed my Saturday Starcade shows instead but I did watch The Smurfs. After school for me it was always GI Joe, Transformers and Voltron. I do miss Adult Swim in the late 90's - that was a golden age for Cartoon Network as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't watch a lot of tv when I was a kid (my folks still don't). I made a deal with my dad that however early I got up on Saturday morning, I could watch tv until 9am and then had to turn the tv off. So I watched whatever was on until 9. I know I watched Smurfs sometimes, that early there were reruns of older cartoons like Flintstones and the Jetsons. My absolute favorite was a cartoon called Dungeons and Dragons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YacKar7y3mc
ReplyDeleteThe entire draw of Captain Caveman was the yell. I can't remember even a whisper of single scene or story and probably couldn't ID any other character. But that yell!!!
ReplyDeleteMy childhood cartoon watching was similar to yours, with a small dose of Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain as I got older. As an adult, it's The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Futurama, Daria and occasionally Beavis and Butt-Head. Haven't been watching much TV but my Saturday morning binge will always hold a place in my heart.
I was a huge Hanna-Barbera fan, so I watched a lot of the Flintstones, Jetsons, Magilla Gorilla, Squiddly Diddly, Jabberjaw. I loved Tex Avery with Chilly Willy and Woody Woodpecker. Some others that come to mind are Hong Kong Phooey, The Banana Splits, The Ant and the Ardvark, Richochet Rabbit, Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Strawberry Shortcakes, The Smurfs, and Bugs Bunny and the Gang, along with Fat Albert on Saturday mornings.
