There's a new kid's show that my 3 year old is absolutely in love with. Yo Gabba Gabba! Another one in a long list of shows that drive me crazy throughout the day as I'm working. If you have kids and they haven't seen it yet, keep them away!!!!

I saw the promo for Yo Gabba Gabba, and I said to myself, "Yo, I ain't havin' that sh*t in my house."  Sponge Bob, Diego, Dora and Mickey reign supreme here. What the hell happened to Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker and the Flintstones? I guess I need to buy those on DVD if my kid wants to see it.

Well at the time of those cartoons there were not very many good ones made anywhere else in the World.
Only in the past decade have I seen any decent foreign films. I know there is National Pride, etc.... but that long ago all the foreign cartoons and films were b or c class movies at best (IMHO)

But I bet they're not 30 years old either, they're almost certainly within the last 10 to 15 years.

I am happy to watch cartoons with my son. He watches the exact same ones I did, as a kid. They are classics (all American made). I think amongst the best are... - Bugs Bunny
- Daffy Duck (and many Looney tunes - gotta love Mel Blanc)
- Scooby Doo (NOT Scrappy!!!!)
- Roadrunner (or rather Coyote )
They have tried re-makes of all of them - and boy, they suck!

...but aside from cartoons - the biggest drawback from working from home, I think, is seperating worktime from playtime.
oh, and putting on too much weight from sitting on my fat ass!
(I have to diet about 6 times a year to shake the blubber!)
oh, and being at the mercy of my wife and her interior designer...
oh, and being at the mercy of too many neighbours who know I can't say no to a pub lunch....
oh, and.....

I force my kid to watch all the cartoons/shows I used to watch that I can find... One key one I'm missing is Under the Umbrella Tree (a puppet show that was on disney) but we have Fraggle Rock, Looney Tunes (bugs bunny, daffy duck, road runner), scooby doo (original, scrappy annoys me, i want to go hostle on him) A lot of the time he watches adult shows, like Chuck and Heroes though

I used to like captain caveman, but somehow when watching it again I don't know why I liked it before As for cartoons, I just love the smurfs. I have loads of them on dvd that I taped this summer from TV.
