Saturday Morning Retro Fun: The Great TV Bliss Out!

Wow, it's sure fun remembering this stuff! Saturday morning TV (well OK, the commercials between the shows) that was fun AND educational. I know that if I think back real hard, the School House Rock bits were where my sister and I learned the basic concepts of multiculturalism that are endemic to all of North America and the world, if we think about it. And the joys of reading and career planning? Can't get better than that for inspiring a generation!

And yes minnenials and earlier, the digital age we now take for granted did have a start. And it was around 1985 or so, as shown by the One Minute Computer Course. I wonder what a similar public service announcement  about the Internet, smartphones, texting and Facebook might look like.

I sure hope all the writers, animators and singers who worked on these commercials and PSAs have some inkling of the inspiring effect they had on youth culture back then. I salute you all!

OK, enough blah blah from me. Time to just bliss out and have fun remembering!

Happy Saturday everyone!

And thanks for the memories 80sCommercialVault!
