Thirteen of My Favorite Cartoons To Watch Back in the Day



They just don't make cartoons like they used to. When we were kids, my brothers and I use to get up early every Saturday morning, get a bowl of cereal, and plop in front of the TV to watch cartoons until about 12pm, which was when the afternoon TV movies began. During the weekdays, we also used to watch cartoons that would come on every afternoon from 4 to 6pm.

1. Smurfs
2. Snorks
3. Thundercats
4. Voltron
5. Fraggle Rock
6. Johnny Quest
7. Scooby Doo
8. Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound,
9. The Looney Toons (Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Yosemite Sam, Wild E. Coyote, Daffy Duck)
10. The Flintstones
11. Popeye
12. Mighty Mouse
13. Woody Wood Pecker

Here's some more cartoons I used to watch (X-Men, Superfriends, Spiderman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Oh, to be a kid again. :)

I loved about half of this list!

However, whenever I mention "Snorks" people look at me like I'm crazy.

What I hate about the cartoons now is that they all have to have a message. What is wrong with something just fun and funny for the sake of fun and funny?

I remember those days. Kids are spoiled now because they can get cartoons, 24/7, so they do not appreciate it much.

I loved the Smurfs and Scooby Doo! I watched them all!

I used to get up early and watch cartoons long after I was far too old for them. I liked Bugs Bunny but hated the Roadrunner...I was always rooting for the cayote! Same with Tweety Bird, he was so simpering, he deserved to be Sylvester's snack. lol

The Smurfs were weird--99 boy Smurfs and only one Smurfette?! Still I loved them. Hee. Good times!

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ Just As I Am

There is something incredibly powerful about being known completely and still being fully loved. In a world that often places value on appearance, perfection, and performance, the lyrics to "Just As I Am"  reminds us that God sees us in all our imperfections and still opens His arms wide with grace. It's about a love that sees everything and still invites you in, into His presence and His Family. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us,  in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) "Just as I am, with all my imperfections, You draw me close and offer strength in weakness." The Lord tells Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” God isn’t waiting for us to have it all together. He meets us in the middle of our mess, not with shame, but with grace, mercy, and compassion.  God's power is not diminished or limited by our weaknesses. When we recognize our limitati...

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ "Nothing Else"

There are moments in life when everything feels cluttered, our schedules, our thoughts, our hearts. We find ourselves chasing after things: success, validation, dreams, etc. Until we realize, we have drifted far away from the very One our soul truly desires.  Cody Carnes' song “Nothing Else”  is about the importance of prioritizing a relationship with God above all else, even above the blessings and gifts He provides. It emphasizes a shift in focus from seeking the blessings from the hands of God to pursuing His heart (His presence). Also, it encourages Christians to return to a place of genuine, heart-centered worship and to recognize that God's love and presence are the ultimate blessings. “I’m caught up in Your presence, I just want to sit here at Your feet...” This opening line reflects the spirit of Luke 10:39-42 (NKJV) , where Mary chooses to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to His word. When Martha complains, Jesus lovingly responds: “Mary has chosen that good part,...

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ Your Presence is Heaven

Within every believer, there is a deep longing and desire, not for material things, approval from our peers, rewards or accolades, but for the very presence of God.  “Your Presence Is Heaven” by Israel Houghton, demonstrates the sincerity of a soul that understands or wants to experience the majestic beauty of intimacy with Jesus in God's presence which offers a foretaste of heaven, bringing joy, peace, and a sense of belonging that surpasses any earthly experience.  “Who is like You Lord in all the earth? Matchless love and beauty, endless worth”   This lyric speaks truth of God's word in Exodus 15:11, which says   "Who among the gods is like you, Lord?  Who is like you, majestic in holiness,  awesome in glory, working wonders?" Although this question is rhetorical, there is no one like him in all the entire universe. No one and nothing can compare to our Heavenly Father's  Matchless love, beauty, and endless worth.  (See also Psalm 113:5 and Ps...
