This is gonna seem weird. The retro stuff was awesome, but I love that Public Access stuff in the middle. I miss the UHF Public Access feel of some TV stations. I hate that cable TV is pushing all of that out. I wish there would be a mass push to all cable corporations to get that feel back, along with a Saturday morning Cartoon theme going again.
@winds031 yea mate i agree 80's were the best decade for me as well,Also the tech thatcame out for pagers,computer consoles like the atari,N.E.S,Master system,Amiga obv that was also a home computer as well and other consoles were good,also mobile fones,cd's,video players+videocamera's,Like you say it seems kids at 12 want to be adults nowadays when they should still want to be kids
80's kids had it better than anyone else in history. Saturday morning cartoons, eating at McDonald's without someone crying 'obesity', Fresh air and sunshine without internet, cell phones, and Playstation to keep us cooped up indoors all day. We need to build a time machine and get the 80's back.
Thank you for posting this it was all most like I was 25 years younger. I woke this morning and turned on the tv (its saturday) and I was hoping it was still 1986 but I all I could find to watch was lots of crap. I fucking hate the 21st cent.
The time of the late 80's to the early to mid 90's was unbelievable for me because everyone seemed to have to much fun. The fun eventually went away because people started getting offended at everything. I remember things started to change around 1996. Things were still alright up until 1999 or so. Since about the middle of the year 2000, it has been almost unbearable to watch many different things. It is so dissapointing to see so many things crumble trying to please idiots.
I'm 30 and remember all these Saturday morning cartoons like it was yesterday. 1988 I was 8 years old. These cartoons spanned the 1988 and 1989 years. The 1990 through 1992 period was also a great time for kids' entertainment but by then the 80's were clearly gone. I was ages 10 through 12 then and I always wondered what happened to "Ghostbusters" by the time Jim Henson's Dinosaurs with animatronic dinosaurs came along. I miss the 80's so much.
@heeriyujaxhunin Why ? Pippi Longstocking was a great role model for kids. Instead why don't you bury the memories of Paris Hilton or Hanna Montanain the 2000's. Pippi was a fun, adventure loving girl with a great personality and she was kind hearted. I remember watching New Adventures of Pippi on Disney Channel when it was good. Now Disney Channel's pure garbage.
@heeriyujaxhunin Please do so. Paris Hilton has no class, she's trash, who cares how rich she is. Pippi Longstocking maybe a no one today but she had more class and more charm in her little finger than in all of Paris' bony body. Disney Channel's Golden Age was from it's start in 1983, through the 80's and from the 1990 through 1992 period. I remember I started to dislike it by 1995, but by then I was already too grown up to care for it.
of course disney had the good cartoon shows, the specials, the morning programings, and zoog disney, but when those years past til it reached the era of wizards, zack and cody, hannah, and phineas and ferb...it went from bad to terribly worse
@heeriyujaxhunin Well in defense of Pippi, Pippi never did a sex tape that went public like that whore Paris did. She's a spoiled rich drug-addicted party girl; never worked a day in her life. She's a bad role model for girls.
@AmericanEvita what bring up the sex tape out of your mouth? holding grudges much?
listen...what happens in the past...stays buried in the past. ...and we dont know if she did drugs...so that mystery continues...but right now..enough with who is the better girl.
This is exactly the reason I would never have wanted to be a kid during any other period. Thank you, Lord, for putting me in this world at just the right time!
You took the words right out of my mouth! I've always felt the same way. If only we could go back.
@DJCandyManMike says "This is exactly the reason I would never have wanted to be a kid during any other period. Thank you, Lord, for putting me in this world at just the right time!"
Ive gotta agree back then kids were kids till 18. Not 10 trying to smoke and act like adults. Kids today dont take time to just B kids... the really need to just b kids n play
This is what you got to see from 1965 to 2002. In 2002, 95% of Saturday Mornings got crapped up and E/I had to air all the time. In September 2002, ABC's Disney's 1 Saturday Morning was defeated and ABC Kids came on and airs all this E/I crap.
This is what you got to see from 1965 to 1996. In 1996, 95% of Saturday Mornings got crapped up and E/I had to air all the time.

Finally in September 2002, they were defeated and ABC Kids came on and airs all this E/I crap.
:D AWESOME!!! THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS! In 1986 THAT epic show went on the air. In 1989, it changed its format to add more Slimer! show-within-a-show segments which renamed the show Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters. 1990 was the end of an era. It then went off ABC in 1991 after 5 years.
@Madness832 Yeah, until I had seen it again just now. Also, I remember that entire McDonalds jingle commercial too. I was eight years old when this all went down.
Holy Crap that McDonald's commercial was 1988?!! Man i am getting old. Those were the good ol days. Something to look forwards to after a week of school. Saturday morning cartoons! That was the only time I woke up early in the week besides to wake up for school.
@SuicideOnMyMind hey man we are old and we are alsomportant being th last generation to be born to adults you have a responsability to the world to make sure you have chillderen and dont let them be assholes so they can raise good people
Ronald Mcdonald scared me when I was a kid. I wouldnt go to a mcdonalds unless I knew that he wasnt real and just an advertising mascot. and the days when there was something ACTUALLY GOOD on TV. the flintstones kids real ghostbusters bugs bunny all of the hanna barbera cartoons man I miss this stuff. I feel like downloading ever cartoon that was ever play on sat. mornings and just reliving the blast from the past. love that ghostbusters theme. I remember ALL of this.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hey cartoons now a days don't suck no offence but y'lll like this cartoons better cause they remind u of your childhood anyway some shows ain't that good but still
Pretty much any commercial throws in some incomprehensible form of hip hop by putting together sound effects and "mmm"s and "ahhh"s and stuff like that. Yeah. . . really creative.
Now to comment on a few TV ads worth watching and some of them legendary. The Milk commercial of a growing boy to a man...classic! It sure does a body good. I still drank cokes, kool-aid & sugar-laden juices to get me hyper. Now for a big mac happy meal to go...except I didn't prefer big macs but mcNuggets & milkshakes. I didn't seem to enjoy ham-burgers, but I was like 7 to 9 years old.
Pippy Longstocking was like a secret plan to sell Wendy's burgers & well, I never drowned my mcnuggets. +
Yes, I remember them! I was 8 at the time & had a sharp memory with nostalagic TV stuff from the '80s. I learned letters & numbers by the call letters & TV channel dials...before I finally can tie my shoes correctly. "Don't drown your food" seems to be a 1970's PSA short, alot of retro 60s/70s stuff at the time, perhaps 20 years old in 1989 or 1995 was cool: just like today.
KIVI-TV? My local station was KESQ 42 (cable 3) for the Palm Springs area and had a small list of transmitters too. +
Wow so much propaganda and programming as a child lol. But I still have fond memorys and That ABC cartoon intro with the fire hydrent and dog was used well into the 90's.
Back then, we were kids that actually enjoyed being KIDS. As Toys R' Us famously phrased it, we didn't want to grow up, unlike today's youth who go from age 5 to 15 with tween shows that impose this faux coolness. "OMG I got a boyfriend!" It's the dumbing down of a generation. 80's shows right on through the FOX KIDS era of the 90's delivered intelligent, entertaining shows that didn't cater to but rather set the trends. Through our childlike naivety, we never thought those days would end. :*(
PhireMadeFlesh its all about programming and grooming children to become what the corporate america wants you to be. Today more than ever they just tell you to grow up, thats why theres no good kids cartoons anymore, they said fuck it lets just break out the tween dramas and show them how great being older is.
@PhireMadeFlesh just take a look at the 'heroes' that are admirable among the kids born in the mid 90s and 2000s, humorless, constantly pissed off for no apparent reason, constantly use their brawn over brain and bizarrely homoerotic. check out the 2003 ninja turtles remake show for all this.
@PhireMadeFlesh You know what I read about Disney Channel on the Wikipedia page? It was confirmed that the owner of Disney-ABC Television has the goal of making money, not providing wholesome entertainment.
Man, as a child of the '80s I can tell you that we had no idea that eating at McDonald's two or three times a week was unhealthy. Having a birthday party there was a must, and we loved the "games" like Monopoly and this scratch-off thing that they did one time with popular arcade games.
not only the 80s that went right into the 90s i grew up in the 90s and birthday parties were a must then in that train theyd have at some mcdonalds for parties and i dont think i learned mcdonalds was bad for you till i was already grown i still love mcdonalds stupid child hood set me up to leave mcdonalds too much lol
And I forgot to say, those Bambi figures are what got me into collecting Happy Meal Toys and are still some of the best they ever have done! I still have that set of four! And I remember that Milk commercial too! The girl was hot and I remember liking a stage or two of the one where the girl drinks milk and turns into a hottie, ha. If I remember it correctly.
Oh, man, I loved that "Don't Drown Your Food" thing! And that Pippi movie, ha, I have the DVD. It's an awful movie and the actress was too old for the part, but I kinda liked her in her slutty stockings, ha.
omg.....these songs are engrained in my mind. In 1988 I was 9 yrs old....there was NO cartoon network, Noggin, Sprout, Nick Toons, etc etc etc like there is now.
Saturday mornings were THE BEST....we got up before my parents, sat in front of the TV for hours and watched cartoon after cartoon.
Good times.....things are not like that anymore!
and wow....even in 1988 we were trying to tell kids to watch what they eat (dont drown your food). 20 years later and things are worse. yikes
This was great! Flintstones Kids...Wow! It was so great to be a kid in the 80's. Mc Donald's used to rock...remember the styrofoam containers they used to put the food in? I bet kids today have no clue who Grimace or the Hamburglar are! They were the best mascots ever...there used to be life size statues of all of them in almost every McDonald's. When the hell is anyone going to invent a time machine?!:)
Because Nick and Cartoon Network have toons on all day everyday. But how many times can you watch Spongebob and Ben 10 without blowing your brains out?
So true. We actually had something to look forward to. We had to wait to watch cartoons on a Saturday Morning!I remember Woody Woodpecker and Popeye being on every day on Fox, but that was it. Besides that they had on repeats of Different Strokes, All in the Family and Donahue on until the 5 o'clock news went on. The rest of the week we were outside on roller skates or riding bikes.
...god, I actually sang along to the bumpers. I can't believe after 20 years that's still stuck in my brain. I had all those Bambi toys too. And is it just me, or were there a hell of a lot of Public Service commercials back then?
There were a bunch of public service announcements. Remember that it was also a time when families ate together at home, most mothers were stay at home, we feared our parents and were taught to be respectful to one another. Kids were truly kids and were not treated as adults from the time we were two. We actually listened to the announcements...amazing how much can change in twenty years. It's actually sad how kids today don't really know what it's like to be a kid.
Pippi fucking Longstocking, now that is a name I never thought I'd hear again for the rest of my life. Thanks so much for all these classic commercials.
OMG- I have goosebumps all over, what a flashback,I can remember thses clips like I saw them yesterday, and I remembered the words- I miss Sat morning cartoons, and I miss being a kid, I love the 80's-
Long Live our Childhood! God bless you all whom take the time to share and help us relive, or at least, reminisce the good-ole days! Too much has changedand not for the better. Hey, back then some things sucked also, but, today it seems as if almost everything sucks ;D
How could I forget...My fave ABC ad Bump..the Dog and the Fire hydrant.
Oh yeah and don't drown your food...I stil remember that one! Hell a while back I used it. I told my kids not to drown their food...God I'm such a dork. lol
I can't watch this anymore, because it makes me wanna cry, knowing that shows and memories like this is gone 4ever. I use to Love Vickie the robot, duck tails, Beauty and the beast,the golden girls,alf....I can go on and on! Memories like these are PRICELESS.
o dang i remember that milk commercial. man i rember being a lil kid being all excite to get up at 7 just to watch cartoons in my underwear and eat cereal. i remember flippin through channels cause i coudlnt decided what to watch. they was all to good. now all they show is shit.
Everyone who lived through that era of Saturday mornings remember the excitement that encompassed those shows. Everything from the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh to the Real Ghostbusters were cleverly written, casted, & animated. These shows truly made you feel good inside! Not like the monotonous trash they put on Saturday mornings these days. 1988..*sigh*..That's 20yrs. ago this year! I was only 6 then, but I feel old now. :( We need an 80's Saturday morning revival.
I still remember all those ABC ad bumps. The Real Ghostbusters was my favorite show and I watched it religiously. How I miss those days, the halcyon days.
Life was simple, everything on TV was good. I wish I could go back and relive those days just one more time. I miss getting up on Saturday morning to watch cartoons. The best years for cartoons are gone:(
I wonder what prompted the 80's to have such memorable animated shows? I mean, they could've clearly gone the senseless route & just put anything on the air, but these toons are some of the most memorable of ANY decade in history! Top-notch stuff from the animation to the writing to the voice-acting to the music; it all blended so beautifully in just about every show made between 1983 to 1991/'92. What a great time to be a kid!
takes me back, good times. i miss these days, not a worry in the world. what ever happened to all this good creativity? just shows the world is coming to an end.
This is gonna seem weird. The retro stuff was awesome, but I love that Public Access stuff in the middle. I miss the UHF Public Access feel of some TV stations. I hate that cable TV is pushing all of that out. I wish there would be a mass push to all cable corporations to get that feel back, along with a Saturday morning Cartoon theme going again.

Back then, we were kids that actually enjoyed being KIDS. As Toys R' Us famously phrased it, we didn't want to grow up, unlike today's youth who go from age 5 to 15 with tween shows that impose this faux coolness. "OMG I got a boyfriend!" It's the dumbing down of a generation. 80's shows right on through the FOX KIDS era of the 90's delivered intelligent, entertaining shows that didn't cater to but rather set the trends. Through our childlike naivety, we never thought those days would end. :*(

PhireMadeFlesh its all about programming and grooming children to become what the corporate america wants you to be. Today more than ever they just tell you to grow up, thats why theres no good kids cartoons anymore, they said fuck it lets just break out the tween dramas and show them how great being older is.

@PhireMadeFlesh just take a look at the 'heroes' that are admirable among the kids born in the mid 90s and 2000s, humorless, constantly pissed off for no apparent reason, constantly use their brawn over brain and bizarrely homoerotic. check out the 2003 ninja turtles remake show for all this.

@PhireMadeFlesh You know what I read about Disney Channel on the Wikipedia page? It was confirmed that the owner of Disney-ABC Television has the goal of making money, not providing wholesome entertainment.

Man, as a child of the '80s I can tell you that we had no idea that eating at McDonald's two or three times a week was unhealthy. Having a birthday party there was a must, and we loved the "games" like Monopoly and this scratch-off thing that they did one time with popular arcade games.

not only the 80s that went right into the 90s i grew up in the 90s and birthday parties were a must then in that train theyd have at some mcdonalds for parties and i dont think i learned mcdonalds was bad for you till i was already grown i still love mcdonalds stupid child hood set me up to leave mcdonalds too much lol

Saturday mornings were THE BEST....we got up before my parents, sat in front of the TV for hours and watched cartoon after cartoon.
Good times.....things are not like that anymore!
and wow....even in 1988 we were trying to tell kids to watch what they eat (dont drown your food). 20 years later and things are worse. yikes

BigRC83 3 years ago 3
So true. We actually had something to look forward to. We had to wait to watch cartoons on a Saturday Morning!I remember Woody Woodpecker and Popeye being on every day on Fox, but that was it. Besides that they had on repeats of Different Strokes, All in the Family and Donahue on until the 5 o'clock news went on. The rest of the week we were outside on roller skates or riding bikes.

LenaAndreia 3 years ago 3
There were a bunch of public service announcements. Remember that it was also a time when families ate together at home, most mothers were stay at home, we feared our parents and were taught to be respectful to one another. Kids were truly kids and were not treated as adults from the time we were two. We actually listened to the announcements...amazing how much can change in twenty years. It's actually sad how kids today don't really know what it's like to be a kid.

Everyone who lived through that era of Saturday mornings remember the excitement that encompassed those shows. Everything from the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh to the Real Ghostbusters were cleverly written, casted, & animated. These shows truly made you feel good inside! Not like the monotonous trash they put on Saturday mornings these days. 1988..*sigh*..That's 20yrs. ago this year! I was only 6 then, but I feel old now. :( We need an 80's Saturday morning revival.

I wonder what prompted the 80's to have such memorable animated shows? I mean, they could've clearly gone the senseless route & just put anything on the air, but these toons are some of the most memorable of ANY decade in history! Top-notch stuff from the animation to the writing to the voice-acting to the music; it all blended so beautifully in just about every show made between 1983 to 1991/'92. What a great time to be a kid!
