When I was in grammar school cartoons, little rascals and three stooges. Later I believe match game.

We didn't have television so I didn't watch anything. I did get a bit of a break with my mom before the afternoon/evening chores needed to be started though. Loved that part of my day.

Ahh, the 80's cartoons! Transformers, GI. Joe, Voltron, Thundercats, a little later DuckTales and Rescue Rangers...it was truly a golden age!

 

[Lumpy1106]

Cartoons - a lot of Tom & Jerry as I remember.

Anyone remember "POW"? This one is from a TV station in Chicago but pretty much exactly the same format as the station I used to watch out of Sacramento. Amazing what we used to consider entertainment.

The Brady Bunch on TBS every afternoon. Child of the 80s and early 90s.

Nothing, I was a kid before cable came into being. Usually I would do any homework I had, which wasn't much since I did most of it in school. Then I would go outside and play. We would watch TV at night after the supper dishes were done if it was too cold or dark or late to go outside. We did watch cartoons on Sat. morning, Looney Tunes.

I remember coming home for lunch and watching the Flintstones before heading back to school. Also The Pink Panther Show when I got home, Child of the 70s- early 80s.

TRL on MTV

I don't remember watching tv in the afternoon. We had an hour bus ride home. We ate dinner as a family pretty shortly after we got home. Then we had dishes to do and homework to finish. We did watch family television shows in the evening.

 

[prairie_girl]

I didn’t. We got changed out of school clothes (not a uniform), put on play clothes and went outside to play. After supper was for reading, or homework, or more playing. We were only allowed 1 hour of tv a day so we didn’t miss it.

 

[princesscinderella]

I watched the Disney afternoon cartoons- Gummy bears, duck tails, Tail spin, didn’t like darkwing duck though.

Weren’t those more like nighttime shows though?

 

[PrincessShmoo]
