Saturday Morning television was the salvation and payday of my week. It truly helped mold and inspire my imagination and my creativity and sense of humor as an adult. These shows along with LBS comforted a.d sustained my life through a tough childhood. Thank You.:-).
Thundarr the Barbarian ruled in the 80’s
i miss the bugs bunny hour
I would love to win
I was almost too old for a lot of these cartoons (having turned 13 in 1980) but I do have fond memories of some of them. Heck, I eagerly awaited every new episode of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends when it was brand new! And today my kids would adore these. Hope I win!
I loved these cartoons! Cartoon network killed Saturday Morning. There’s no thrill in a 4 hour cartoon marathon anymore thanks to them (and the crap shows they call cartoons!).
Even if I don’t win, I’m buying it. This is an awesome tribute to a better era for kids.
i remember all of these cartoons..i even got the chuck norris action figures for Christmas one year!
Yay! Cartoons!
Oh, the memories…it would be so much fun to re-watch these with friends.
I liked Mr. T. He came on before Alvin and the Chipmunks I think.
I used to watch some of these. My kids watched them more. Looks like a great prize.
I still love watching my cartoons!
i luv 80s cartoons they bring back so many memories of my childhood. i pity the fool who dont love cartoons
Hope I win
I would love to watch these all over again. And a few might be firsts for me. My children would also have fun watching them as well.
