The Silver Screen Oasis

I envy you youngsters. They didn't have cartoons or anything like that when I was a kid. We just had our jobs in the factories and the mines.

. . . which bred in you character and a, I'm sure, rock-solid work ethic. Thank you for your service, Pops!

My favorite cartoons when I was a kid were Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, and Spongebob Squarepants.

Dexter's Lab always had really silly plots, like this one where Dexter and his nemesis turn the presidents in Mount Rushmore into giant fighting robots.


My favorite Powerpuff Girls episode was the one that parodied the Beatles, as I was quite a Beatles fan as a kid.


Years later as an adult I learned that the Powerpuff Girls' house was based on the house in Mon Oncle.

You can watch Woody Woodpecker Saturday mornings on MeTV.

Wow......sure don't remember THIS one!?

I want this!
I hope this makes it to streaming and broadcasting.
MeTV and MeTV+ are on my Xfinity cable along with Philo and Frndly. Of course this would provide a good source of income for TCM 's parents.
It's all good!
MeTV already has good 'toons, including Woody Woodpecker.

see all:

maybe not animators, but still......

Have a pair of these back in the day and like I did, ziggy?...



They're plastic containers that were filled with Palmolive bubble bath and that were sold in supermarkets back around the early-to-mid '60s.

(...being a big Rocky & Bullwinkle fan, I remember bugging my mom to purchase them back then)

And you tell that to the kids of today and they won't believe you.
