These timeless classics introduced us to the world of classical music in the most unexpected ways and we marvel at the slapstick violence that was a hallmark of the era. 🥣 Cereal Saga: We chat too about the sugary staples like Fruit Loops and Cocoa Puffs and share a laugh over the love-hate relationship we all had with Captain Crunch - delicious, yet notoriously known for its roof-of-the-mouth-ripping reputation. We didn't get to even HALF of thw shows we wanted to talk about, so we promised to return with Part Two (or more?!?!)) to continue gabbing about the animated adventures and cereal sagas that made Saturday mornings a sacred time for every Gen X kid. 🎙️ Pour yourself a bowl of your favorite cereal, hit play, and let's journey back to those simple, joyful Saturday mornings.
