It's fun watching old stuff again, but I doubt I can get my kids to sit down for Dr. Snuggles when they have their iPad with Minecraft videos :/ It was absolutely fascninating as a kid.
Saturday and Sunday mornings were great. Of course heightened by the fact that you didn't have 24/7 cartoon networks back then, nor internet :p TV was still magic back then. Now it's that thing that provides background noise.
Going way back, the first animated shows I saw were Pinochio and Calimero in '77, I was only 3 years old, can still remember it clearly. A few years later The wonderful adventures of Nils had me captivated. Not until recently did I learn that all 3 of these were made in Japan. Maybe that's what started my love for Japanese animation!
