I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Sure, looking back, a lot of those cartoons sucked, (quality is on average much higher these days) but it was more about the ritual and the expectation. Saturday morning TV was for me.
I’m not that old! I had Nickelodeon and Disney Channel and Cartoon Network, but there were still Saturday morning cartoons on WB and PBS. The Saturday morning cartoons weren’t as good as the others but it was still something special about the mornings.
I’m old but from Europe… I kind of thought I’m the target group here. Then again, most of the people think there are only Americans here. Not that I’m mad, you get used to it. But posts like this leave you confused for some seconds…
90s mascots were so random. Like why an owl with a graduation hat? He just graduated, so now he is wise, and can offer insight into lollipop licking? Was that his major?
“Until the second half of the twentieth century, mortarboards were often worn by schoolteachers, and the hat remains an icon of the teaching profession.” [source]
So they weren’t saying that he just graduated, they were saying that he was learned (the tortoise even says, “he is the wisest of us all”).
