During the 80s and 90s, the best place to be on a Saturday morning was in front of your TV with a huge bowl of your favorite cereal. And, If you were VIP then you had your Fox Club Kids Card right next to you 😂 ahh the good times! I really miss those days.
Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it at the time because I was young and just happy to see more cartoons on TV. However, with the launch of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, my days of Saturday morning cartoons would be coming to an end.
