Hence the popularity of Ghostbusters and Transformers T-shirts on 30 something guys and the fact that I own the Jem and the Holograms box set. I can't see Dora the Explorer or Bob the Builder having that kind of staying power either.

By the time we got back my brothers would be up and we'd all sit around and watch cartoons for hours in the morning earting donuts and drinking milk. This was back when it was the old-school Looney Tunes hour, and my goodness that is so nostalgic for me. It is still one of my most cherished memories as a kid. I don't have kids, but I'll bet you the cartoons now on Saturday mornings probably don't have the same punch. After school as a teenager, it was Transformers, Thundercats, and GI Joe. Those were the days. When I was a kid, (I’m 36 now, so you do the math), every Saturday morning, I’d go down to the local A&P with my dad and we’d get donuts and milk.

So many one-liners and obscure references that my kids don't get, but absolutely make me sit down and watch any episode I can. I have to tell you that I truly enjoy Phineas and Ferb on Disney.
