GOOD OL' DAYS
I have been extremely stressed out and frustrated for the past week. I don't think that I am alone in my feeling that this year is passing too quickly. Whenever I have a lot of work and responsibilities it reminds me of a simpler time. You know, when you didn't have to make any decisions. I really miss being a kid. Probably the most memorable and easy time of my life was in the 90's. I reminisce about how easy life was in those days. I would literally come home everyday and do my homework in front of the TV, while watching Disney cartoons. When I was younger it was Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers and Talespin. Then after that was Gummi Bears and Dark Wing Duck. However, my all time favorite has to be Ducktales.
To this day I am in awe whenever I watch an old episode of these programs. This is because I can usually remember the ending before it is over. I feel that Ducktales was one of the most universal cartoons ever made. It seemed as if all of my family and friends felt the same way about this cartoon. Regardless of whether it was a girl or a boy, they enjoyed it. Ducktales literally had it all. Adventure was the main theme. Huey, Dewey and Louie were always causing mischief. There were enemies such as, Magica de Spell(my favorite) and the Beagle Boys. Throughout the series the importance of sticking together and supporting a cause was expressed. Although, the cause that they were supporting was the success of Scrooge McDuck. Ducktales was very profitable for Disney. This could be because it was different from many cartoons at the time. The show was translated into many different languages. Darkwing Duck was actually a spin-off from Ducktales. I literally jumped for joy about a year ago when I found out that most of these Disney cartoons were going to be released on DVD. I have piratically all of the box sets. I highly suggest them to anyone who remembers the series or anyone who has children. To find out more information on Ducktales and related stuff visit, RETROJUNK
Obviously, my love of cartoons has continued beyond Ducktales and the other Disney's series. However, I have to stay true to my favorites and especially when I am feeling overwhelmed I miss those good ol' days.

I must be a little older than you, because I don't remember watching these cartoons. When I was a little kid (in the late 1980s), I watched GI Joe, followed by the Transformers, followed by Inspector Gadget, and that was the after school schedule. I also have fond memories of Warner brothers cartoons, such as Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman the Animated Series, and of course, The Animaniacs! I can't even watch children's television these days without feeling a little nausious, but when I was 12 years old, I couldn't get enough!
Thank you so much for taking me back to the good 'ol days. I must say, with all humility, that you have excellent taste in cartoons. I used to watch Ducktales and Rescue Rangers every day. The difference between you and me though was I never did my homework.
It wasn't Disney, but did you watch Tiny Toons? I really dug that and re-runs of Inspector Gadget. Keep up the good posting. Peace...and I'm out.
I agree with you that this year is passing quickly as a year somethings feels to melike 6 months. So I take it you watch the Cartoon Network? Your blog was very nice reading. Do you like any old school classic cartoons like Road Runner?
That video was awesome. I loved Ducktails. I have fond memories of watching the movie, I think it was a TV movie first. At my grandma house in San Fran. She served me apple juice in these little orange juice cups that now I could drink the whole thing in one sip.
Have you ever played the NES game Ducktales? It is awesome, I remember your character was Scrooge and you could bounce on your cane and break things. During levels you would run into Huey, Duey, or Leuy and sometimes the scientist and/or pilot.
It sounds like you would love it. Check this out
Duck Tales
There are some videos of the game play on this site, it's pretty cool. Good post, reminded me of a much simpler time.
