Saturday morning cartoons were the highlight of our childhood weekends. Casper the ghost, The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, and The Jetsons followed by the Monkees! We waited all week for early Saturday morning and all our familiar funnies! Boy our kids and grandkids really missed out on these great cartoons and shows.

Now that we’re adults and we look back on these cartoons, it becomes evident that the writers of The Jetsons were way ahead of their time. Remember when George Jetson would talk to his boss via the monitor in their space age home. They were skyping before skyping was even a thought! The Jetsons could make changes to their house via electronic connection…hmmm, sounds familiar. They were smart phone ready before smart phones were invented! Rosie the robot took care of the house, now we have IRobot taking care of our vacuuming!

Don’t let your kids, grandkids or kids of any kind miss out on these great cartoons. We were entertained by them and they will be too. If you can find then on DVD (DVDs aren’t obsolete yet) buy them and treat your kid family to a special cartoon night! If you can find them in syndication, DVR them and make a family night of it.

Now would be a great time to mention that when Saturday morning cartoons were over, it was out the door and on our bikes for a day of neighborhood fun! Get those kids to put away their devices and get back to the fun stuff we used to do as kids! I must admit, sometimes I did catch a Cincinnati Reds ballgame in the afternoon…did I mention I love baseball! Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, Ken Griffey and on and on…all greats from back in the day.

So…that sums up a Saturday in the life of a now Fifty-Something year old! Great times…introduce your family to those great times. Recreate it!
