Out of thoes 4 I only got into the Transformers. I liked Garfield, inspector Gadget, but I could never get into the others for some reason. And your right. Cartoons in the morning before school and cartoons after school.

AH Fat Boys and thier movie was funny!
Then R.D.M.C. and Bestie boys when they all first came out on the air. Never forget sitting by the radio all day waiting for thier songs to be played so I could tape them.
 
The older shows on Nickelodeon such as Pete and Pete, Salute Your Shorts, Rocko, etc.
Playing football and baseball with the neighborhood kids.
 
Not worrying about anything but what time I had to be home for dinner.

🙁 damn it funboy, your handle is a misnomer.
 
Apple fruit roll-ups
Purplesaurus Rex Kool-Aid
Cheap comic books... I watched them go from 25/35 cents all the way up to 1.50+ in my childhood.

I spent a lot of time on WBS... another thing Disney had to go and ruin 🙁
 
time past so much slower then... thats what i miss.

the responsibility of the household (kids, work, stress....) makes it go by so damn fast.. I do get to see it again in my kids eyes though..






 
Carefree
Didn't worry about tomorrow (with exception of homework of course)
My dad (going fishing with him) RIP 🙁
No bills
No stress from work
Everything provided
Our dog
The fun and joy from playing with GI Joes

Sigh... I had it good back then.
 
Among the things I miss the most:

Being able to breathe properly.
Not being in pain 24/7.
Erections.

Being old is a bitch!

I don't think anyone's ever identified that substance. Personally, I think it's reprocessed nuclear waste.
