My toon-watching days started with Astro Boy and Kimba. I got off to an early start with Anime, and these teenagers look at me strangely when I tell them, "I was watching anime before you were born! So there!"

I don't know how I survived the 70's as a kid. There was that never-ending parade of absolute drek that should have destroyed HB ("Jabberjaws," anyone? Or how about "Speed Buggy"?), very crappy animation ("Justice Friends") and the terrible camera tricks by Filmation ("Fat Albert"). Gawd, what an awful decade.

Now I can watch toons again with my kids and we've got a list -- Kim Possible, (The Christmas episode is HYSTERICAL and just plain twisted!), Spongebob Squarepants, Teen Titans, Samauri Jack (Bring Back the SCOTSMAN!) and -- just for my daughter -- the very UN-PC Powerpuff Girls.

Kids today don't know just how good they've got it.

I still shudder when I remember the 70's. I do, however, remember Fat Albert fondly. I don't think you can find episodes of that anywhere!

Ain't that the truth. I'd go broke buying the toys that my neice and nephew get for free from business sponsorships at their day-care.

I barely remember Kimba the white lion and can find almost no one who remembers it.
