What prompted that, btw?

Well...

I may have been watching a few too many videos lately.

(It's frightening how many of those I actually remember by heart once the first notes are out there. And I didn't even watch that much TV growing up! Scooby Doo in the mornings, Smurfs on the weekends as some sort of weird Belgian pride thing (no, seriously, that's how it seemed to me at the time), TMNT because my mom thought it was terrific, and of course Gummi Bears if I was home in time, which I never was and deeply regretted.)

For $60, you can get a Roku box and stream loads of old kids' TV (and other kids' stuff.) It's $9 a month for unlimited streaming (and 1 DVD out at a time, unlimited.) It also streams Amazon Video.

If you want to see what they have to offer, http://instantwatcher.com is great - Netflix won't let you look unless you have an account. Oh and here's the Roku player on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Roku-N1050-SD-Player/dp/B002U6EWPG/

To answer your actual question, I favor Looney Toons collections, Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Ren and Stimpy, Dangermouse, hmmm.... I'll see what else I can think of.

I was around for the first run of the Smurfs but I stopped watching in mortal outrage when the Smurfette origin story ran.

(Seriously? The EVIL smurfette has short black hair but once she turns GOOD it's long and blonde? They just lost a brunette watcher, and if a ten-year-old can figure out that's wrong....)
