Mis queridos monstruos

Sabrina was part of "The Archies" universe, and her popular comic book spawned this Saturday morning cartoon. Sabrina lived in a creepy house with her two aunts, who were also witches. She was also surrounded by friendly monsters (a werewolf, a vampire, etc.) who stayed in and out of misadventures. I remember that the show focused more on Sabrina's monster friends then her.

According to http://www.kidzworld.com/article/7211-groovie-goolies-cartoon-facts there is a DVD coming out. It is called "Groovie Goolies Saturday "Mourning" Collection DVD. Can't wait for it. Has all 16 original shows plus extras. I too loved this show dearly and can find few people who remember it. This was one of my weekly must-sees on Saturday morning. I am definitely going to be getting the DVD. I want to share this show with everyone who doesn't remember it, or was too young to have watched it when it was on TV. I have always enjoyed puns and groaners, and this show was full of them! Plus, it features the voice of one of my favorite character actors, Larry Storch. I definitely recommend Groovie Goolies to anyone who has a silly sense of humor and enjoys puns and plays on words.

I thought I was one of the few folks on this earth that remembered this cartoon show! I don't feel as daft anymore! I remember waking up in time to watch it on Saturday mornings, then it was moved to Sunday mornings. I wish they would bring these good shows back. Seems like todays shows lack the imagination that it took to create shows like this one. I realize that a lot of the original people that created the voices of a lot of these beloved characters have passed on, and will be greatly missed. I wished I could go back in time to record these shows for todays youths to see, and also to look at when I am sad and need to be reminded of a better time.

I loved all these shows as a kid. Sadly now they are gone, and there is no real substitute for today's kids. Most everything today is just the same pseudo futurist tech junk cloned and copied under different names.

On a side note, how many of you true fans of GG had all the little flexible action figures? I wish I still had them or the breakfast cereal spoon, bowl and cup set each cast member was commemorated on.

The cartoons of our days were so relevant. They would teach and inform children (sometimes adults, too!), and we learn without even realizing it.

If there was really a Time Machine that would go back in time, I be the first to volunteer to be a test subject.
