Y'all know me , but I just thought of this.

I haven't worked in so long that quite often I have no idea what day it is. When I was living in the Northern Territory I went to the pub one day to buy more beer, only to be told that it was Easter Sunday and they weren't allowed to sell take away. I made the same mistake again in South Australia but the laws are opposite here, the bars are closed but all the bottle shops are open. :)
 
When I was little I watched cartoons on Saturday morning.

One year when I was a child I realized that Christmas was going to be on a Saturday.
I thought this would be the best ever-----Christmas and cartoons.

Nope.
All the cartoon shows were gone because of Christmas parades.
I liked parades (my father's mother made a point of calling us to tell me
when she knew there'd be a parade on television) but I really was disappointed that year.

Christmas on Saturday wasn't the double delight I'd been imagining.
No cartoons.
 
Saturday morning cartoons for me as well. There were three children in my family, and we each got a turn with the clicker, so three shows. I found Scooby Doo to be a frightening show and would hide behind my brother.

When I was in my twenties, I went back to Saturday morning cartoons, but on the internet and I found Felix the Cat. Saturday morning will always be a unique time for having fun and enjoying life for me. Even if it is scary sometimes.

It was creepy at times. There was Clutch Cargo. Very poor animation with real talking mouths superimposed on each character's face. That really creeped me out.
 
Saturday morning cartoons, oh my.
I'm 65 and remember them like yesterday.
The ones I watched are probably well outdated for most here.
Looney Tunes and more. The Jetson's, The Flintstones, Roadrunner, Casper, Mighty mouse, Disney characters.
How did they ever fit them all together?

My favourite was Top Cat. He was the first thing I ever drew and colored as a kid.

 
I've been searching all over the place for one of my favourite cartoons and I can't even find a mention of it. It was a spin off from Arthur! and the Square Knights of the Round Table, done in simple line drawings with no colouring or shading, called The Black Knight. The theme song for the cartoon was the song The Black Knight by Deep Purple.


Another favourite was Fractured Fairy Tales.


Then there was Bat Fink, Top Cat, Roger Ramjet....

Nearly every cartoon I loved later got banned for being too violent, even Popeye and Road Runner.

And a classic I almost forgot - The Banana Splits.
