Ode to the Smurfs

I LOVE the Smurfs. I grew up on them, they are clearly the greatest cartoon characters ever. Cartoons were good back in the 80's. Now, most cartoons are obnoxious. I have looked many times for Smurf DVD's. I have never found any, which I think is odd.

If you ever see the username Smurfette on a mommy type of message board...it's probably me. I've been using that username for years.

Other cartoons I wish they would bring back...Captain Cave Man, the Saturday morning version of the Bearenstain Bears (another of my book obsessions), Tiny Toons, the Gummy Bears, the Snorks, Garfield and Friends.

So, I saw a commercial today saying that season 1 of the Smurfs is available on DVD starting today. How long do you think I will be able to resist ordering it on Amazon? I give myself 48 hours to crack.

A little Smurfiness to whet your appetite...
Episode 238

I like the Boomerang Cartoon Network for that very reason... the old cartoons are the best.

I am also a smurf-a-holic. I actually have a smurf collection although going to the antique store looking for Smurfs makes me feel really old...

Great now I want the dvd too!

It is the 50th anniversary this year. I hear they are bringing the cartoon back to Saturday mornings.

Favorites: Loony Toons and Popeye. Yeah, most of the stuff on now is very obnoxious. My little brother is not allowed to watch anything but PBS, and Saturday morning is movie morning.
