Things that kids don't have anymore are those local TV shows to watch on a Saturday morning. Heck, even those Saturday morning cartoons are replaced by Good Morning America. Kids gotta watch the bland Cartoon Network for their fun.
I remember watching Philly's channel 6 growing up. Watching the Saturday morning cartoons. My favorite were the local shows, produced and filed right in Philly.
The one that I remember best was Captain Noah and his Magical Ark. I would be glued to the TV watchign for the "Send your Pictures" segment to see if the drawing of the dinosaur I sent in was shown on TV.
Another favorite of mine was Chief Halftown This guy was a TV legend as far back as when my dad was a kid. He's still doing shows at Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA.
Kids today don't have those memories of those shows that they grew up with. Sure, they have the national cartoons, but it's the local guys I remember most.
Capt. Noah and Chief Halftown.
I hear ya. Well mine was Schoolhouse Rock. With those songs, "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill and I'm sitting here on capitol Hill..." and "Three is a Magic Number" Aaaah, memories.
