What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon? He Man? Garfield? Thundercats?
What you chose to sit down and watch with your breakfast cereal defined how the rest of your day was going to go. With summer on the horizon, Gen X kids and nostalgic adults everywhere are thinking back to their younger years when the hardest choice they had to make was which channel to watch in the morning. Adulting has gotten significantly more complicated, but as we think back to the 80s–a time of neon lights, heroic cartoons, and a baseball card lodged in our bike's spokes, nostalgia comes flooding in and our heart swells with glee.
Each day offered endless possibilities once school was out–with our parents at work and fresh bologna sandwiches in the fridge, all we needed was our house key around our necks, a little grease on our bike chain, and we were off! Scroll for a couple of photos that'll take you right back to those Saturday mornings when the shows were bright, fast food was cool, and the world was our oyster.
