We'd wake up when they still had the test pattern showing and the very first thing that came on was New Zoo Review. At this point it was a re-run, but we didn't care. By the time that was over, ALL of the channels started playing the normal fair, Bugs Bunny, Thundarr, Mighty Or-bots, Super Friends, Scooby Doo, etc.
At some point we'd get a bowl of cereal...probably Fruity Pebbles or Honey Comb, try to be the first one to get the prize in the box, a mini license plate or a coin purse shaped like Fred Flintstones head. We dreaded hearing our parents wake up, their footsteps making the ceiling above us creak and pop...that usually meant they were about to make us start doing chores.
Then we'd run outside and play, ride bikes, play "Army" till someones Mom offered to make Kool Aid. We'd play all day, getting all hot, sweaty and dirty and not caring or noticing one bit! Eat dinner then go back outside and play for an hour or so, sometimes in the dark, then hit the bed wearing Pac Man pajamas.
On a somewhat related note, the other day my oldest son was watching Cartoon Network and they have a new version of Scooby Doo, it's the same formula and characters, just updated a little. You know what I saw? Shaggy and Wilma KISSING! You always kinda wondered waaaay back if they might have a thing for each other, but you never saw anything, and there they were, fully lip-locked, no doubt about it!
