When I think back on my youth, I have warm memories of TGIF and Disney Afternoon. When my sisters and I woke up in the morning, we dressed quickly so that we could make it downstairs in time to watch Small Wonder and Adventures in Wonderland. After school when all of our homework was done and we had exhausted ourselves playing in the backyard, we relaxed with some Fruit-by-the-Foot to watch Tale Spin, Gummy Bears, Darkwin Duck, Ducktales, and Punky Brewster. On Friday nights, my dad would take us down the street to Tedeschis to pick one special candy bar each that we could eat during TGIF when we lost ourselves in awesome shows like Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, Sister Sister, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, and Boy Meets World.
I'm currently babysitting my little cousins and I'm finding myself feeling bad for them because they have none of the awesome shows that we have. They either have some creepy shows on Nick, like Blues Clues, or they watch the heinous creations that Disney has come up with over the last few years, like Hannah Montana and That's So Raven. ICK!!! They barely even ever watched Sesame Street, to which I attribute much of my academic and social successes, favoring instead the mentally challenged Teletubbies.
No wonder they are all ADD-infested, anti-social, spoiled rodents.
With the exception of my cousins, but their sanity can be attributed to their bloodline.
