Hey there!
Do you remember rushing to the T.V. room after reaching home from school and grabbing the remote like your life depends on it? Sitting and watching cartoons and going into a state of oblivion, ignoring the repeated reminders of pending homework and eventually begging our parents to extend our T.V. time just to be able to catch another episode of our favourite cartoon. Ahhh those good old days when watching Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon would take all the 'stress' away....
If you think about it, besides being super entertaining, most of those had good hidden messages- respecting our parents, the meaning of true friendship, being compassionate, courageous etc. These days, the T.V. network is flooded with trashy cartoons that make us want to cry out loud. Have you ever tried watching Ninja Hattori or Oggy & the Cockroaches with your baby cousins/nieces and nephews??? A small tip, DON'T, no matter how cute and adorable faces those tiny humans make. It's a trap.
All this talk is getting us nostalgic, so it's time for a quick peek into a cherished aspect of our childhood!
1. Scooby Doo
An incredibly cute and goofy dog following a bunch of teenage detectives who go around solving crimes... what's not to love?! Scooby dooby dooooooo (P.S. Is it just us, or did you also wonder what Scooby snacks taste like?)
2. Dexter's Laboratory
An accurate description of the relationship among siblings, there is no other cartoon we can possibly relate to more than this one.
3. Baby Looney tunes
All our favourite cartoon characteristics put in one show, that too in their baby forms!!!!
4. Flintstones
A caveman, always in the middle of some sticky situation, who has an elephant for a showerhead, a dinosaur as a pet and a vehicle that operates in the most unique way possible, this was a cartoon very different from the others, but just as amazing. Yabadabadoooooo
5. Powerpuff girls
Three young girls saving the world from all things evil, this was definitely in our top 3 list. The number of fights we’ve had with our friends to ascertain who among us is Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup are too many to count.
6. Popeye
Oh, the way those biceps bulged each time Popeye ate a can of spinach is imprinted in our memories forever. Plus, we think our mothers approved of this cartoon the most because of the healthy eating habits it encouraged…
7. Oswald
This one was full of endearing characters, whether it was the compassionate Oswald or the optimistic Daisy, the grumpy Henry or the smart Madame Caterpillar. It was super-colourful and always came with a positive message.
8. Bob the builder
Here’s a quick test for you- Can you sing the whole ‘Bob the builder’ theme song without breaking off in the middle? We certainly can!! That’s how much we loved this one.
9. Roadrunner
Even though we knew that coyote would never catch the roadrunner, still we were always on the edge of our seats while watching this one. *peep peep*
10. Johnny Bravo
His confidence (overconfidence) about his good looks could give Poo from K3G a run for her money!
11. Cat Dog
The story and struggles of a cat and a dog who are joint together. There was no fighting over the remote for this one. Because everyone in the house (Mom included) loved it equally.
12. Jungle book
Another one who’s theme song we know by heart- chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai! This one always aired in hindi and we loved it!
13. Swat Cats
Not many remember this one, but we definitely do! The swat cats are two super cool felines who fight crime in their state-of-the-art fighter jet. Again, we watched the Hindi version and that made it much more fun!
14. Richie Rich
Livin’ the life- loving parents, gorgeous mansion to live in, a super-smart dog and the funniest science teacher with a cool laboratory.
15. Tom & Jerry
The most iconic of all, Tom & Jerry was and will always be the universal favourite.
