I know I posted on Twitter, but I forgot about Dinosaurs, Looney Toons, Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, The Jetsons, reruns of I Love Lucy.

I'm brainwashing, I mean, showing my daughter most of the cartoons I used to watch. She loves Care Bears and Tom and Jerry. ;)
- Lauren
I don't know if it is just me or not, but it seems like the cartoons we grew up with were drawn better and the plots were interesting. The cartoons out there now are just blah to me. Maybe I'm just weird.
- Lauren
No, I've felt the same way, Lauren. Most of the cartoons from late 90s on sucked. They're stupid and no good story or characterization.
- Araceli
Thank goodness, I am not the only one. I don't want Katherine to watch the new versions of our shows either. I can't stand the way the new Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake are drawn. Ugh. Now I need to buy more DVDs. I also have the Inspector Gadget theme song in my head! Oh and three other shows and they aren't cartoons: Guts, Double Dare, and Legends of the Hidden Temple.
- Lauren
lol. I thought about those Nick shows, too. Are you afraid of the dark, too.
- Araceli
Yes! Clarissa Explains it All, Hey Dude, You Can't Do That on Television.
- Lauren
OMG, Inspector Gadget yes. I almost forgot about that one. And then later, Hey Dude for sure.

Oh, oh! One of my favorites Carmen Sandiego.
- Araceli
Another gem , Ghostbusters! I loved CS. I cracked up when I read this: If Carmen Sandiego and Where's Waldo had a child, we'd never find him/her. So true!
- Lauren
lol. I would love a Carmen Sandiego movie. Provided they don't butcher it. I think I may have to go watch the cartoon now.
- Araceli
Here's a great website if you can't think of a title. I am still looking for a show I used to watch on Nick and I will find it someday, lol! http://www.retrojunk.com/

Ok, I had the PJ Sparkles doll, but I never knew there was a cartoon of it. Mum just brought that (and many other toys) down from the attic so Katherine can play with them. Kate's favorite toy from my childhood: Nala from The Lion King. Next thing I will hear from her will probably be, "Mummy, I want a lion cub."

Watching Where on Earth Carmen Sandiego?
- Araceli
I have a troll that has hot pink hair and I think a star for a belly button. My best friends (they are sisters) at the time were obsessed. They got me a troll with a sailor suit. ;)

Do any of you remember when Nick at Night used to play 50s-70s shows? It feels weird seeing Malcolm in the Middle on there. I used to watch I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, etc. Of course, MTM has always had a special place in my heart.
- Lauren
Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets, Rocky & Bullwinkle and Underdog were my favorite after school cartoons.

I miss old school Sesame Street. Katherine doesn't watch SS now, because she feels it is too "young" for her. I let her watch the old episodes on YouTube and she loves Grover and Kermit. Go figure. ;)

As in the baby talk from Elmo annoys her and she doesn't understand why he isn't speaking at the same level as her. (I think because we never used "baby talk" with her, she doesn't get that he uses it when he is supposed to be teaching her something.) I told her Elmo is supposed to be younger than her, but she doesn't care. I can't help that Katherine is very opinionated.
