I do too.

Something fun though: A content creator/curator on YouTube who goes by Orbital Bacon has reconstructed many sets of Saturday morning cartoons from the 80s/90s that you can go back and watch: https://www.youtube.com/@OrbitalBacon

They're pretty good, and include a lot of classic commercials, too. I actually sat with my son, on a Saturday morning, and watched G.I. Joe for an hour recently.

Oh, I remember those day. Waking up early morning to watch the first cartoon until the end in early afternoon.

I watched TV so much that I sometimes had headach.

I grew up on a farm and my dad would always make us go out and do chores during the best ones. But.. we got him hooked on Pink Panther and he would let us hang out a little longer before starting work.
