LOL!<BR/><BR/>Even though I let my kids watch TV, there's just TOO MANY shows to choose from. It's the same reason I don't like shopping for new shoes - it's such an overwhelming experience.

So far, I love it! I about died when you mentioned the 'yip yips'! They were by far my favorite thing about Sesame Street. My favorite show was 'My little Pony'. I totally understand what mean about TV not being the same. We don't have any channels on our TV. We only own movies. That way I can control 100% of what's being showed in my home. Anyways, just wanted to say you're not the only one. ;)Jamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660649560421975281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748825559890165633.post-24544173121681952822008-08-13T10:57:00.000-06:002008-08-13T10:57:00.000-06:00I, too was a Smurfs fan.

I like the idea of Saturday only, done at 10! :D<BR/><BR/>Apparently, I'm about the same generation as I am Boymom - those are a lot of the same shows I watched. The Bugs Bunny - Road Runner Hour was my favorite. Bugs has always been at the top of my list. I had a stuff Bugs when I was three.<BR/><BR/>After school, I sometimes watched the Addams Family, Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith, I Dream of Jeannie, and I can't think of others.<BR/><BR/>If we could depose cartoon network, that would probably be a good start.

It's always at your finger tips. Do you remember when a Christmas special came on and it was a big event. (That would be my kids not me.) I loved horse shows like 'My friend Flica' Then you go outside and run around for hours playing like you are a horse or a cowgirl.
