a little trip in the way-back machine

So if you're lucky, you remember saturday morning cartoons the way they were supposed to be.  I'm talking about good old fashioned wake-up-before-your-parents fun.  I myself switched between Captain O. G. Readmore (try remembering his name after a few decades when all you remember is a leopard in a funny hat that sang between cartoons.  not easy at all) and the Real Ghostbusters (on ABC) and the Snorks and Gummy Bears (on NBC).  God bless you Hanna-Barbera.  Last, but nowhere near least, was the ultimate in large robots that came together to create an even larger robot... that's right it's Voltron!  It was an action packed morning of animated fun, before being sent outside to play until supper.  Remember when young kids could just roam around unsupervised in public without the massive paranoia?  It's probably because we were just that much tougher than todays model.  And with that, I leave you to roam around in the voltron nostalgia.
What's that you say?  I've left out the Transformers?  Nonsense, I watched that movie so much as a child, it'll get it's own blog entry someday.  As for those communist smurfs, they too deserve a blog all to themselves.
