Now? And then?  And by then I mean when you were little.  R said I need to have some easy ones for the younger boys here and there.

Then?  For me that was quite awhile ago.  When I was young, as in H’s age (about 5) I liked The Electric Company and The Land of the Lost.  Neither was a cartoon, but I dug them and would run home from the bus stop to watch them.  When I was a bit older, I liked the Smurfs, though I think the really cool, fun ones (He-Man, She-Ra, Jem, etc) was when I was a bit older and not into cartoons as much.  I really liked Scooby Doo though.

Now-I don’t watch a lot of cartoons, but one I don’t mind watching with the boys is “The Backyardigans.”  Each episode has a different type of music in it-Rock, polka, county, jazz…and some of the songs are really witty and catchy.  D LOVES “Olivia.” About a little pig and her family.  I don’t mind that, though he will watch the same episodes over and over again if we let him.  The older boys like iCarly.  Not a cartoon, but I can tolerate it.
