I don’t remember my tv guide looking like this…but I do remember the land of the lost it was the bomb back then. but now I just laugh at it and think man I could make that dino look 10 times better with CG…thanks to workng in CG I think like that all the time now. that’s why don’t watch TV anymore..:) great shows though..

Oh yeah! Saturday morning ROCKED in the 70s! Even today, every Saturday morning, I get my sugar coated bliss, and watch my classics on video in my Scooby Doo PJs! I had gotten one kid I used to take care of hooked on The Bugaloos, Sigmund and Filmation Tarzan, while she sat eating Cocoa Krispies and watching w/ me on Saturday morning!

That Dolly Madison thing is brilliant, wish I'd thought of it.

I pretty much raised my son on DVD's of vintage cartoons but I still get really depressed when he sees Fred Flintstone and says "Thats the guy from my vitamins!"

WORD — I keep getting the same quizzical reaction from my 7-year-old daughter. Its just not the same.

I *do* like that the Kids’ WB has tried to bring back the whole “Saturday Morning Cartoon Special Stuff” format, with shows you cannot get on the Cartoon Network and such — like Batman and Legion of Superheros — and I’ve managed to somehow shoehorn my daughter into believing that its more special than the crap she gets the rest of the time.

(But hey — I’m the guy who actually interrupts playings of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special by running her over to the computer to play her Dolly Madison commercials on YouTube to try to recreate the experience!!)
