Anybody From my generation[generation x]who grew up in new england in the 80's remembers all the great old cartoons 56 and 38 used to show.its hard to believe that they dont really have saturday mornings cartoons anymore.I remember their used to be cartoons on in the morning before school and after school.Mighty Mouse,The Jetsons,The Flintstones,Tom and Jerry,etc.Its too bad todays childrens programming makes no sense.

"L-V-I! Is paa-art of lii-iving!"... Wow, I had those jingles ringing in my head all the time as a kid! It's sad to see how homogenized Boston has become with the rest of the United States - you can barely find candlepin bowling alleys within city limits nowadays, let alone broadcasts that aren't nationally syndicated. Leave me my Kid Tips, Movie Loft, and local hosts!

@wyattjameson amen, to that even basc television had something good on in the mornings and afternoons and especially on saturday mornings, I grew up in a town without cable but even then there was more interesting shows on. now if you want to see anything really good you have to pay the extra money to get cable or sat that is if you don't have a computer connected to the web.

Tv back then was great if you were a child or a caveman or just an idiot.

WLVI was the best. i grew up in new england then moved south. the tv down south sucked compared. actually everything sucks down south.

SNIPETS! I just saw the Snipets for the first time in over 20 years! Thanks for more LVI memories! I am a happy guy!

Back in the day, they used to show all kinds of kids shows, cartoons in the afternoon and OLD movies at night, and on weekends.Creature Double Feature, Movie for a Sunday Afternoon, etc. That all went away in the late 80's when local programming requirements were cut back, and infomercials were more profitable(such as all of much of Saturday) and, movie rental fees went into the stratosphere, even for the old ones.

I remember growing up in my youth. This was one of my favorite channels back before Cartoon Network was first concieved.

I used to wake up, go to school and watch 56 every day. Nowadays, 56 is still something to watch with CW4Kids, but I sure miss the old days.

[StudebakerPackard]

I SO miss WLVI. Banana Splits, Monkees, Creature Double Feature, the classic cartoons, 8 O'Clock Movie, etc. All those old commercials from the Boston-area places (NE Aquarium, ITT Tech, Museum of Science). Nowadays it's all generic cable crap. Give me the old independent stations back any day, please!!!

OMG The Palace! lol By the time I got to high school it was the Bahama Beach Club--what a dive! It was truly the epitome of a cheesy under 21 "dance party"

It's a Lowe's now.

Oh God, they ran this commercial for the MadBash at the Palace EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR.

I think they were still running it after it actually happened.
