All the worst you can imagine.

I used to love Saturday morning cartoons. Back then the anvil could still hit the coyote, Popeye could give someone a good ass whuppin, Elmer Fudd could hunt wabbits with a shotgun, and Bugs was a crossdresser.

It was great! I wish I could still see those old cartoons now deemed “harmul to children.” I believe the cartoon police went a little too far with deeming the classic cartoons as “violent.” Shit man,watch the evening news if you want violent. Go to the movies if you want violent. Say hello to a cop while being the wrong color if you want violent. Those old cartoons are classic. An anvil landing on the coyote does not a violent child make.

As far as that goes, violence is pretty much baked into our existence, we are a violent species. The cartoons didn’t have anything to do with it…

I also watched a lot of Gilligans Island. Gilligan was on, right arount the time I got home from school. Hogans Heroes was on after supper, I remember watching that one too.

On Friday nights where I lived, we had a late night show called “Accri’s Creature Feature.” Accri was an aluminum siding company that sponsored the show. The Creature Feature had all of those old corny sci-fi monster movies we used to love to hate.*

When I got a little older I’d watch some Johnny Carson, and Saturday Night Live. Both TV show Icons. Both still running today.

So, what did you watch?

*Strangely enough I still enjoy those same movies on MST 3000. If you don’t know what Mystery Science Theater is, google it. Get your head straight right before you watch it 😉 FYI, Pluto (free TV!!) has its very own MST 3000 channel! I love me some MST 3000.

MST 3000 is still pretty funny even if you don’t umm, enjoy a little evening buzz.
