That just might work! :)

Night all, c ya tomorrow sometime. ;)

*Creeps into the thread, trying not to wake all the sleeping old guys.*

*Walks over to the TV and puts some Saturday morning cartoons on to enjoy while the grown-ups are fast asleep.*

*Lays on the floor and enjoys the peace and quiet while watching an episode of Sharky and George.*

*comes next to ddickinson and whispers* Good morning, ddickinson!
Hope you didn't forget to put the TV on mute as to not wake up the aforementioned old guys... I know this tip from personal experience-plus, you can still understand the plot even on mute-I suspect this is a feature cartoons have on purpose for this reason, that is because of children who get up early and put the TV on to watch cartoons... :-)
Btw, I didn't even know of the existence of such a cartoon as Sharky and George-we had other cartoons in my parts:some Italian, some German, others Japanese and some English, all dubbed of course... I guess I learnt something new today then. I might seach this series later on Youtube or something...
*wonders then whether to remain around or leave as to not bother ddickinson*

Good morning, Treasure!

I put the volume on low, don't worry, at their age they can't hear too good, plus all that snoring will drowned out the sound :-). Sharky and George was a French cartoon that was dubbed into English and shown on TV when I was little. It's not too well known and I don't think there is much of it online. I had the theme tune stuck in my head this morning, which is why I mentioned it, plus I was curious to see if anyone else remembered it.

Another one that I thought of this morning was an English clay animation series called Trap Door.

You don't have to leave, feel free to stay and watch some cartoon. You can pick one after Sharky and George has finished :-). Care to share some one your favourite Saturday morning cartoons?

I can stay? That's good, but I won't be staying for long, as it's already around 12:30 here-pretty late for Saturday morning cartoons! :-) As for my favorite cartoons, hmm...I don't know, I liked many of them. Some are(in no specific order):
-Sandokan(1998)-an Italian show based on a series of novels with the same name(actually, here's the english version of the intro btw)
-Wicky the Viking(called Erik the Viking in Greek, because Vicky-pronounced similarly- happens to be a nickname for the Greek girl name Vasiliki!)
-Maya the Bee
-Heidi
-Pokemon(the original with Ash and his friends vs Team Rocket-I know from my cousins there's a more recent Pokemon show based on Pokemon Black btw, that's why I specify)
-Digimon(similar to Pokemon in concept)
-Above the roofs of Venice-a probably little-known Italian cartoon-I found the title only recently, as I didn't remember it previously...
-And one of the last cartoons I watched(before I became too old for cartoons): Tutenstein
And others-I don't recall many of the titles of the stuff I watched (including some Greek productions)-I suppose that's always a problem when trying to find stuff from your childhood however...
At any rate, it was nice reminiscing all this stuff! Got to go now however, bye and have a good day!

P.S. Sorry for the delay, but remembering stuff tends to take a while...

Did I miss the Jetsons and The Flintstones?

Did I miss Batman The Animated Series and Superman?

What? Oh no, the grown-ups are awake! Time to go out and play so they can steal the TV and watch their boring adult programs. :-)

Good morning, EndreWhiteMane and l0rdtr3k! I hope you are both doing well.

I used to like the Flintstones, but I was never that keen on The Jetsons, I'm not sure why.

How could one not like Astro? Rut Ro Rorge!

I didn't exactly hate it, but it just didn't really appeal to me. But then even Flintstones was not an absolute must watch for me, just something I didn't mind watching in-between other programs.

Interesting trivia fact: The first commercial colour television broadcast was in 1953, the year I was born.
The first color television in the state of Ohio looked like something you would get if you crossed science fiction with a nightmare. Several feet wide and more wires than a box of rice has grains.
After an hour or two of fiddling one could get something resembling a color picture.
How do I know this you ask? That Rube Goldbergian creation was in my living room! ;)
My dad was one of the many co-engineers who invented the thing. He worked for the station that first broadcast color TV in Ohio, US. :)

That's a very interesting story, thank you for sharing. There were some very good TV shows in US in the 50's and 60's, just in time for colour TV. :-)

That's pretty awesome :)
Have you got any pictures? I'd love to see what it looked like.
