It’s Saturday morning and you just can’t wait to get up, because you don’t want to miss them. You start running down the stairs, up the stairs, or wherever, and get the remote and sit right in front of the TV. Your brain is already awake, though your body may not be, anticipating the arrival of those Saturday morning cartoons!
Road Runner, Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, SpongeBob, Fairly Odd Parents …
and the list just goes on.
OK, so I know I don’t watch these shows anymore, but didn’t you just love the weekends when you were really little, and you sat there for hours watching cartoons until your mom called you down for breakfast? Yes I remember those times! Saturday was always my favourite day of the week and I just couldn’t wait till it came, after a long week of colouring, simplified math and recess in the earlier years of public school.
And weren’t they funny? I mean, the usual characters running around and making you laugh in absolutely every episode? Despite the fact that many of the episodes had the same concept, it just never got old. You knew what would happen in the Road Runner; that the coyote would get trampled, run over, or crushed. Or that Timmy from Fairly Odd Parents would get himself into trouble and would learn a lesson from his Godparents.
Children’s shows are what make childhood. You create heroes, like Shaggy from Scooby Doo, and role models like Wolverine from X-Men Evolution.
It is really sad though that some of the cartoons I used to watch aren't on anymore. X-men Evolution was seriously one of my favourites! (even though I'd be too old for it). But it really doesn’t matter what age you are and sometimes, those cartoons are just as entertaining to you as they were when you were a kid. Reliving our childhood is good! Make the most of it.
