Just a Bill

Lets keep the grumpy old man theme going.

What the hell happened to Saturday Morning Cartoons?  When I was young, my whole week was built around waiting for Saturday morning to come around.  I’d sleep on the couch in the living room on Friday night just so that I wouldn’t have to waste any time getting to the TV the next morning.  From 8 to 12, if it was animated, I was watching it.  I’d even watch the crap like the Gummy Bears or the Monchichis just because I knew something good was coming on next.

Dungeons and Dragons, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Looney Tunes, Mr. T.  OK, I didn’t actually watch Mr. T and his gymnast friends, but I pity the fool that doesn’t know why pittying fools is funny.

Nowadays, my kids could give two shits about Saturday Morning.  If they watch anything, it’s just dvr’d Spongebob or Simpsons episodes.  I must admit however, that I do really enjoy the new Spectacular Spider-Man series.

These are really good. I guess kids keep you in touch. I am so depressed to find out saturday mornings are meaningless! Haven’t seen any new Marvel cartoons. Are they on Mytube or whatever so I can watch them when I want?:)

Youtube has some of the new Spectacular Spider-Man episodes uploaded in pieces. Here is a clip from one of my favorite episodes: Group Therapy

The fight between Spidey/Venom vs the Sinister Six in the park was well done, I thought.

There is eventually supposed to be a new Fantastic Four cartoon coming. Hopefully with less annoying robot character.
