When we were kids, Kristen and I would get up early on Saturday mornings, head to the downstairs family room, turn on the TV, and watch cartoons while Mom and Dad slept in.
Super Friends (my all-time favorite), the Smurfs, Schoolhouse Rock, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny.
"Wonder Twin powers activate!" Okay, got that out of my system!
Seems like Saturday morning cartoons aren't as big a deal these days. Maybe it's because there's ALWAYS something on TV for kids, and so that Saturday morning cartoon time isn't unique like it was.
What about you? Did you watch Saturday morning cartoons? What was your favorite?

Our kids watch Phineas and Ferb now and love it. Sometimes we can catch reruns of Smurfs, Jetsons, Bugs Bunny.
I always loved Wiley Coyote. I also liked Pac Man, Pole Position, GI Joe (weekday afternoons). Not a cartoon, but do you also remember Saturday Starcade, where they showed off the latest video games?
Saturdays are still the best!

I remember watching She-Ra Princess of Power, Transformers, Scooby, Rainbow Bright, the Smurfs & Thundercats... and I loved them. I am a believer in the superiority of late 70's and 80's cartoons.
My son is only 16 months old now, so he isn't quite into the cartoon thing yet- about the only thing that hold his attention for very long is the intro to Veggie Tales & the jingle for every single commercial on the tv as he rolls by on his little "truck." :-)

I loved the Smurfs. I went to Kindergarten with a Smurf lunchbox and thermos! My son just loves Thomas the train on Sat. mornings.

We had cable turned off when my DH was unemployed, and now we've kept it turned off. Now we use the computer to watch entire seasons of "good, really old TV". The Boy has fallen in love with Bugs, Road Runner, etc. MacGyver is one of our favs.
