I remembered so many that I'm beginning to think that I invented dirt.

It's all good Mike....I'm not far behind you!

Im a 80s kid im gettin older though born in 69

Scored a 23, getting ready for the fox farm.

Hook'em, that Saturday morning cartoon frenzy is still missed.  Bugs, Elmer, RR, Wiley coyote, all good stuff.  Some one told me that a lot of that stuff, especially the RR and W E Coyote clips were voluntarily not shown anymore because they were sometimes violent.

Forgot a lot of that stuff until Glenn and you started reminiscing

21 here,  uh oh!

24; I think Mike even added a few!

hey Hookem this thread was started for the Team Depends Crew , why on't you start one for  you children, it will give you something to do on Saturday morning instead of watching bad cartoons ;D

53 of 56 so what I win

Nice list Hookem. Being 33 now most of that means much to me though I am a little older and am more of an eighties person.

I got around 10 on Glenns list :

Props on the list hookemdown, but you forgot "your momma" jokes  ;D

38 out of 56

I remember gotting up on Saturday morning and watching the test pattern on the TV while waiting for cartoons to come on.

I remember about 46 of them on Glenn's list. I'm so old, I might be dead

Thanks Glenn.

You sure know how to make an old guy feel even older. ;D

Brute

38 out of 56

I remember gotting up on Saturday morning and watching the test pattern on the TV while waiting for cartoons to come on.

21, Glenn.  Looney toons were great.  So were the Sid and Marty Croft shows (Land of the Lost, Sigmund the Sea Monster, Far Out Space Nuts, HR Puffinstuff, Wonderbug, etc.)  and the Superfriends (without the two kids and the monkey).

This was why I enjoyed the Boomerang network, but has anyone noticed that they've moved on to 90's and early 00's cartoons.  I guess us older folks aren't that important anymore.   :'(

Glenn, your list left quite a puzzled look on my face most of the time.  ;D

I'm a 90's kid. That list took me back, Hookem.

Interesting. I only got 15. And where I grew up, I figured I'd known more. Born in '71 so I'm pretty much an 80's kid too.

The Drive In though shouldn't really count. There's still a working drive in, in the county I grew up in!  

24... whew!

I tied with Mike, 53 out of 56.

You got me with 26, 35, and 38.

Falcon

I remebered like 21-22 but I know what most of them are.  So which is it knowing what they are and such or actually using them and them being in wide use during you lifetime.

24 of them.

All in fairness though my family including my grandmother always keep old stuff around.

Heck my dad still had my old 8 track i found at a garage sale for like $1.

I remember all but 4 of them.

Thanks a bunch for reminding me of my impending decrepitude.

There is a gas station nearby that still sells candy cigarettes
