I think it was a cartoon that covered some of the time on Captain Kangaroo, but it was called "Tom Terrific." He had this strange funnel shaped hat and he could change into anything he wanted to.

I used to dream that I could do that!
 
Ohh, ohh... there was also "Atom Ant" and the anteater who was associated with the Pink Panther. Pepe lePeu always reminds my wife of me.
 
Gees, I don't know of barely any of the cartoons mentioned....but then I grew up in a small town and my parents thought there were better things to do than sit in front of the TV. But I do remember the Pink Panther, Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner, I Dream of Jeannie (I always wanted to nod my head and stuff would happen), the Jetsons, Flinstones, The Monkeys, Archies......hmmm the stuff they make today just isn't as funny....
 
((( cough cough))))

Has anyone noticed NetDoc's new title?

Jenny, your right, it does sound like that's all we did, but I spent way more time outside than I did in the house and I'm willing to bet most of the people who have added a post to this thread did too...we weren't allowed to sit around or stay in the house...we played kickball, cops and robbers, stick ball, hide-n-seek, we went bowling, in the winter I skated before school and even hiked 5 miles in the snow to...blah blah blah Well, ok that last part is really stretching the truth a bit. I always brought my skates to school so I could ice skate after class, before I went home for dinner. Oh, and of course there were the roller skates that had to be adjusted with those "keys." We played paddle ball and tennis and I was always competing on a softball and/or basketball team. During the summer we were either at the park or in the pool. There were Brownies, Girl Scouts,the library and church activities.

It makes me sad when I compare our lives then, all the freedom and innocence we grew up with, and the world our children live in now. When I was 11 I was hopping the bus in East Orange, NJ to New York (don't tell my Mom!) Life was so different--it was a great time to be a child.

Was that you? I was hopping on that bus in Perth Amboy! And to think that I took that for granted.......

Lost in the Midwest......
 
I can't believe no one has mentioned Penelope Pit Stop. I think someone mentioned Josey and the Pussy Cats

I have said for years the worst thing that happened to cartoons is the Pink Panther was given a voice. It was so much better as a silent toon with Mancini in the background.

I thought it was the Ant and the Anteater. Always funny.

I was happy to see school house rock make a return... "Conjunction junction whats your function...."
