Ok, now that I have that out of my system...

Great article like always, Matt. That Beatles cartoon is old. They showed that kind of stuff around the 60s up.

I noticed that all the people they interviewed, asking what cartoons they liked, were adults. Except for that one hot chick, I think she would have been 20 or something. What does that mean? Why, they were payed! It's a lot easier and more politically correct to bribe adults. You got to Hell is you bribe children.

Well, I myself can remember watching shows when I was two. So I wouldn’t be suprised if Matt remembers them.

But, but... I really liked David the Gnome.

It was a European import that stayed true to its sources, and I remember it demonstrating rather frightening continuity as compared to most else I was watching at the time.

And the final episode was so bittersweet that I didn't stop crying until 20 minutes after it had ended. Thank you, Saskatchewan Community Network!

I also hated the Little Rascals, and it was sheer torture having to sit through episodes of it when it was in the same ‘block’ as Pac-man when it first premiered. :p

Could have swore the stupid Mork & Mindy cartoon was on the same year Rubik premiered.. or maybe something WRONG happened and Rubik somehow managed to stay on for TWO seasons..

I remember watching these shows. I wish I could forget about them by taking a red-hot poker to my brain.

All except for Superfriends. As a comic-book geek,it holds a special place in my heart. Funny they mention it in this special. Well,it was in reruns at the time and wouldn't get new episodes until the next year,when it got revemped for the Super Powers toyline.

Anybody remember the ABC Saturday morning PSAs other than SchoolHouse Rock,like O.C. Readmore,that "Time for Timer!" dude,or the "Don't drown your food" bit? Please,somebody other than me out there has to remember!
