(Of course, we only had one TV; in the living room, it could be hooked up to the roof antenna, but used its rabbit ears in my room.)

      Derek Hall There was always kidnappings, crimes, murders, since the beginning of time and certainly since the beginning of America. Do some research on that. 1900's
      , 20's, 30's, 40's, etc. NYC was crazy dangerous in the 70's. The first missing child on a milk carton was in the 70's - and that was likely only because he was White and his father started that campaign. But even White kids rarely got any news coverage until the mid-80's. Most abductions were treated as runaways (even young kids), which is a real tragedy. Police depts. couldn't even share info county to county. There was just no network for that. That started to change in the 80's. Maybe there is more crazy people more crime, and a higher population now, and there is easy access to the internet which fuels pedophiles and copy-cats like school shooters, etc. Decades ago there were definitely incidents of those things (I've read about them), but they were more rare, and NO ONE outside of that city heard about it. Now we have 24/7 sensationalized news channels, 24/7 specifically Crime TV channels, 24/7 internet. Some good changes have been made, like Police departments across the country can network with each other, missing kid pics can be shared on every station and online easily, minorities are getting shared (which rarely happened before the late 1980's), but the negative is a bigger population, and where there is more people, there is more crime, and also we are just way more afraid; partially because of fear from seeing and hearing about it more - just being more hyper-aware, not so completely 'out of sight, out of mind" like decades ago, and partially from there being many more people, all with access to Internet which makes crime easier and perpetrators can cast a much wider global net. Just my opinion, but definitely kids disappeared way back when, people just didn't hear about it outside of their own neighborhood and parents didn't know to be afraid. Now they maybe know too much so are hyper-afraid. My guess is that the U.S. isn't as dangerous as we think, but after seeing so much crime on TV, it's hard to go back to unseeing what you've seen. Such is life in the current time. :/

    Actually there were 4 decades of great Saturday morning cartoons 1960 through to end of the1990s as I lived and watched all of it. The nostalgia varies but the 60s, 70s and 80s are the strongest. Moreover, It's not just SMCs but the holiday specials, the music, easily accessible toys & comic books, made for tv movies, horror movie nights, etc. Soon Friday night would have had the special preview of SMCs.

Sometimes, my mom or dad would get down on the floor and play a game of Old Maid or Crazy 8's as we watched. Sunday evening was ALWAYS family time, even when the shows changed, but Disney seemed to always be on Sunday's at six! I'm glad I grew up when I did, and knew how to go outside and play with sticks and twine and my Bryer or Johnny West Horses, and Matchbox cars... I never played with girlie toys like Barbie. Heck, my GI Joe drug Barbie by the hair behind his jeep!! LOL!

I tell my grand kids all the time how great it was to grow up in such an awesome era!!! Miss it sooo much!! 😭

    I was born in the early 50's and have fond memories of the 50's & 60's. Kids today will never understand this, but the internet ruined the world. Our social sites were actual sites like the neighborhood school playground, friends yards, etc. No CZcams, no video games, just playing outside like kids are supposed to do. Every mom knew every kid and they were our mom when ours wasn't around and we listened to them. We were taught to respect our teachers and police. No cell phones, we went to our friends house, knocked on the door and said, "Can Billy come out and play?" We had to be home when the streetlights came on our when our parents called us. Sometimes they used the mom grapevine. My mom would call my name, down the street another mom would hear it and call my name, and this went on all the way to the playground and the last mom would say, "Your mom wants you home" and we would jump on our bike and head home...IMMEDIATELY! Sadly, those days will never be enjoyed by today's kids. Saturday morning cartoons, no cell phones, no internet... life was beautiful.

      I think I might have you beat, we came to US when I was 6, born 62 in Canada, parents from Ireland stopped there first then had kids, we too were not rich though I didn’t realize my Dad supported the family on slightly more than minimum wage and was able to buy home, we still own, in Southern California. We only had black/white but I remember family coming to visit from Ireland and my Dad went to Sears and bought color TV on credit. As soon as he came back from the airport when they headed back home the TV went back that day to Sears. One last thing I got married in 1981 and my Dd said he would buy me a TV, I was thrilled. We went to the BEST to buy and he picked out a black/white, I wanted color of course but told my Dad how much I loved and appreciated it, kids today aren’t always that appreciative of what they get, imho anyway. Thanks for letting me share, I recently lost both my parents and my 35 year marriage came to a shocking and sudden end. I too yearn to go back to a much simpler time, no worries or responsibility, yet back then couldn’t wait to be a grown up out in my own.

      Your username and comment helped me out. You seem to associate yourself as an 80s girl, but does that mean you think of yourself as an 80s kid, or a 70s kid? I was born in 1987 but since I was only two when the 80s ended I definitely consider myself a 90s kid. You definitely were a kid in both the 70s and the 80s, but which decade do you feel really defines your upbringing? I think being born during the 5 or later of any decade such as 1975, you would automatically become an 80s kid because memories don't really get retained well until you're at least five. So since you were born in 1972 I think you get to pick whether you are a 70s kid or an 80s kid or even both!

She was also complimented by her jr high teacher re: her knowledge of history and government, (although she complimented me as well lol). But she was so impressed that upon my daughter's graduation she awarded her a newly created award for execptional knowledge amd understanding. Then last year my seven year old son discovered the DVD hidden away somewhere and now he is obsessed with it. He also hasnt experienced much cable tv. With an antenna we get three channels, just like in the good old days. And, (lucky for me), he likes nearly every single show that comes on including The Flintstones, The Brady Bunch, Hogan's Heroes, The Waltons, and The Andy Griffith Show just to name a few.

As we get older we almost cry, and some even do,( Me). I think for me it is all the people we had in our lives then that meant the most to us, are gone. This is all some have left to hear and see the past as we did then. Life as it is now( Unreal and cold) compared to 40 some years ago ( Mysterious and more colorful and warm).

      Yeah, there's definitely something about nostalgia and all the memories that come rushing back when you associate some type of media to how much simpler and easier your life was back then. I'm a 90s kid, and this video doesn't do anything for me. It's pretty interesting though. A lot of the commercials are the precursor to the ones I'm used to from the 90s, like the Lite Brite tune. I think I even remember don't squeeze the Charmin unless it's just something I heard about from my parents. And the 90s even had a version of Land of the Lost. So it's kind of cool to see how things evolve. But I think we can all agree any decade before smartphones and social media is superior.

    Ah yes, the magic of Saturday morning cartoons. Unlike school days I was always up at the crack of dawn and parked right in front of the TV. Now a days sometimes I get up on a Saturday and pop some dvds of those classic cartoons and pretend I'm back in the 70s.

      You too? We are lucky because we have DVD's and youtube to bring back our childhood memories. I don't feel old because with this new technology we can watch our old cartoons. It keeps me young - just think we used to get up early on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons.My teen age son doesn't get it.

      Don't look BACK! Look FORWARD! The BEST is yet to COME! If all we have is gone, there's no excitement in living! Jesus said, "Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." Revelation 22:20b
