Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson The thing about Saturday mornings is that they were an event... for me, anyway. I looked forward to them all week. That's the part that kids today are missing. I'd wake up at 6:30 (very unusual for me... I've never been a morning person), start my mom's coffee, get a big bowl of some sugary cereal or maybe some Pop-Tarts, turn on the TV and watch for the next 5 hours or so. Laff-a-lympics, Hong Kong Phooey, Scooby-Doo, Dynomutt and the Blue Falcon, the Bugs Bunny/ Road Runner Hour, Super Friends, Land of the Lost (not a cartoon but still)... good times. |

| Oh, I agree. It was the same for me, except for making coffee. | ||

| @DWeeB1967 @DrWatson Absolutely! Those late 70's Saturday mornings were great. Cartoons ruled.. And weekdays after school, I couldn't wait to watch the original Spider-Man cartoons. |

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

| It was absolutely a special time that will never happen again. The anticipation made it more special. Monday to Friday it was so tough to wake up....Saturday morning I was up at 7am. The quality or subject matter of the cartoons were great. I especially loved the action adventure cartoons...Thundarr the Barbarian, Spiderman and his amazing friends, the Incredible Hulk, The Herculoids, Space Ghost, Birdman, The Galaxy Trio, Dungeons & Dragons etc....wonderful memories for sure. | ||

| This is a very good video on why Saturday Morning cartoons went away. |

The original Spideys weren't on regularly in my area but I'd watch them when I could. I did make up for that years later by buying the Spider-Man DVD set.  |

| Back in Australia in the mid to late 70s to early 80s. I use to watch Saturday morning cartoons. The set up was cartoons and re-runs of American TV show episodes mixed in. That's where I was first exposed to Lost in Space, Batman, Time Tunnel and Star Trek the original series. In the afternoons there were kids programs that were news oriented towards animals and other information. I wasn't into those weekday afternoon programs and I'd wait till 5.00 for Doctor Who. At the time they were airing the new Tom Baker Doctor. Eventually they started re-running Jon Pertwee Doctor episodes. The cartoons were Super Friends, spiderman, laff-a-olympis, Waky Races then eventually Battle of the planets and Dungeons & Dragons. |

| "Dude, you can't park there" This is at an On-Ramp / Off-Ramp intersection where the conditions were wet. The Off-Ramp has two left-turn lanes, and my theory was the truck in the outside lane either lost control, or, a vehicle in the inside lane lost control forcing the truck in the outside lane to lose control.  , |

Don’t know how we were selected, but I was sure to bubble in all my Saturday morning cartoons and after school shows, as well as my grandmother’s and mom’s soaps, plus football and basketball for dad and I. |
