I used to get up early, watch cartoons, and sneak some extra Chocks vitamins before my Mom got up and gave us our cereal and 1 Chocks Vitamin. I guess I got carried away one morning and snuck my way through half a bottle of Chocks. When my Mom got up we took a nice drive to the hospital where they pumped my stomach, ahhhh those were the days....

With me it was fantasy/horror movies. We used to have a TV station here would run science fiction on some morning and then horror movies at night. I was lucky one of my friends was the film editor at the TV station and he would bring home a projector and we would get private showings when I stayed overnight. Otherwise it was Lassie, My friend flicka, Sky King. Stuff like that.

Underdog I loved. And as you say, the adult humor in those shows still olds up today (I mean, Simon bar Sinister, cmon!) . But I especially the loved pink panther. I mean how could one not. Sooooo cool - even or especially the music. Then there was bullwinkle and rocky. Ant and aardvark were great and of course that poor coyote. There was a funny piece someone did later purporting to be the account of the court case of Coyote vs the Acme Corporation. Always struck me he had a case. I also liked the insane and psychedelic Sid and Marty Krofft shows: HR Puffenstuff, lidsville, the Bugaloos. Who needed drugs? They’re still weirder by far than anything on tv today.

They were sweet, chewable vitamins. I don't remember it really sucking, I vaguely remember tubes up my nose and screaming, I don't recall any pain or trauma. Iron toxicity was the worry, liver, brain damage, etc. Geritol? No, but I've had about every other party drug at least once, except for heroin and X. This was just the beginning of a long life of drug abuse.  [image]

Rocky and Bullwinkle,Johnny Quest.Aesop's Fables,Loony tunes. There was something about Bob Conrads voice as the announcer of The Rocky and Bullwinkle show that was so dramatic but his acting years latter as an overweight private investigator named Cannon was rather disappointing! Phil Hendrie was a great cartoon voice. Using more than all the road!

Saturday morning cartoons...the greatest thing ever to a kid growing up. As for things I had that I miss, I have been slowing re-acquiring certain things. Because well, I am an adult and I want them lol. Willie E. Coyote Super Genius, I cannot watch the Roadrunner show with out thinking of my Papaw. It was his favorite show, and I swear was on every time we visited him. My boys today love Tom and Jerry (so much violence) and it is amazing how much of the episodes I remember when they come on. Favorites for me centered around Coco Wheats with Snorks and Spiderman and his amazing friends

I used to enjoy The Banana Splits show on TV on a Saturday before my brother and I began our 'Subuteo' table soccer fest. Wacky Races and Top Cat (Boss cat) were other favourites....and Tom & Jerry of course.

Oh. Almost forgot the Perils of Penelope Pitstop — and of course Dudley Doright and his nemesis Snidely Whiplash (and Muttley, the dog with worlds greatest ever laugh). Then in that show there was Nell, whose relationship with Dudley’s horse always (at least years later) struck me as a tad Catherine the Greatish So many wonderful memories. Thanks for making me think of all this.

I ordered the book, thanks to your recommendation. This particular question will take some thinking. I still have some stuff (scrapbooks etc.) I created as a teen, in boxes in my storage room. Haven't looked at them for years, because they are hard to get at. I also have the "baby doll" I received for Christmas when I was very young. My grand-daughter used to play with it, when she was about the same age. She's probably over 60 years old (the doll, not the granddaughter), as I have no idea what age I would have been when I got her. She would be considered terribly old fashioned now, and my daughter will probably get rid of "her", when I die - as there would likely be NO sentimental attachment. I would have to think, long and hard, about 1 specific thing I wish I had kept. I'm not sure there is just 1 thing.

It was SO long ago, Mighty Mouse, Huckleberry Hound, the Disney Chipmunks, and Tom and Jerry. I seem to have more memories of the ones my kids watched in the 80s. I can still sing all the words to the Theme Song, from the Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner Hour - so that's something to be proud of. And particular episodes stick out in my mind - but I am not sure if they are from that show or another: The Dancing and Singing Frog, and Figaro. And of course - Foghorn Leghorn !
