It seems that kids these days are starved for any kind of entertainment that they would even sit through 6 hours of infomercials on TV just to see something. How sad. This is why I think that for those of us who happened to grow up between 1965 and 1985 happen to be the luckiest of all. Those now happen to be the best years to have lived through. Saturdays were truly a weekly holiday treat for kids. Everything from cartoons, kids shows, teen dance shows, weekend and after-school specials, wide world of sports, those prime-time specials during the holidays, made being a kid then seem special. It bothers me that children today lack any form of actual humor, imagination, or ambition. All kids should be allowed to have those same kinds of memories of laughing at the antics of Bugs Bunny, the Roadrunner, Rocky & Bullwinkle, and Woody Woodpecker, or learning from the lessons taught to them, by Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, Schoolhouse Rock, and Time For Timer...or even just going on adventures with the likes of The Super Friends, Mister T, Sea-Lab 2020, or Emergency + 4. A child might have even just daydreamed of hanging around with Sigmund and The Sea-Monsters, or with Captain Marvel on the TV show Shazam! The commercials too were all aimed at kids as well. Everything from cereals and fast foods to toys and games, seemed to convey how being a kid meant something back then. At any rate, it was indeed the best of times.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530314429135125681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551021418036171014.post-23225520507542715732012-12-17T13:48:22.983-05:002012-12-17T13:48:22.983-05:00Just ran across your article here, and couldn'...Just ran across your article here, and couldn't agree more.
