Childhood Series
Believe it or not, when I was a child there
weren't many series on TV, besides, I used to live in the 8th region, in a lost
town in the middle of nowhere and we did not receive much technology nor state
of the art cinema, theatre, cultural venues, etc.
It was the late 80's and national TV was the only
option available, and consequently, the very limited programmatic grid they
offered and the series that you could see were quite classical, the typical
Disney style, with Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and my favourite: Goofy.
I cannot tell you that I really remember their
adventures on screen, because I was less than 5 years old, but I do remember
having felt very proud after receiving positive appraisal from my parents when
I was able to properly pronounce Goofy's spanish name (Tribilín), which was hard for someone
mastering language in his early years.
As years went by, things changed in my life and
in the country, and in the year 1995, there was a new service arriving into the
region, it was CABLE TV!!!!! The first couple of months, and since it was a
real novelty, not many people seemed to have hired the service, and the
channels were not all yet given in Spanish. It was then when I discovered
Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network Channels, and also Scooby Doo. The TV shows for kids were broadcast in English only!.
I remember I really Really REALLY loved not
understanding it all but I was happy when I realized Scooby and his gang had
solved a mystery, I was happy just by understanding even only the gist of the
episode.
Later in my life, I changed my likes from cartoons to soap operas and series, series with human beings and with more adult-like topics. My favourite has always been Friends and Seinfeld, and still nowadays I prefer series rather than cartoon, although to be honest, after letting my self be stimulated by my current students, I am developing a crave for anime series and movies.
hello professor jordan, very good animated series you saw as a child, personally I like old dubujos and classic cartoons more than new ones!

ResponderEliminarScooby Doo was a great serie! But it was really better the old animation than the newest
ResponderEliminarWell, in the current times, some cartoons treat adult-like topics. For example, the last cartoon that I saw was She-ra, and in this show you can find topics like gender, queer theory, sexuality, and others.
ResponderEliminarAlso when I was little I enjoyed watching Scooby Doo, they were very entertaining cartoons.
ResponderEliminarI loved scooby doo too, and also was really into the movies with humans because they were very similar to the cartoons
ResponderEliminarI liked Scooby Doo too! The same happens to me, I don't remember at all the plot of the cartoons I watched when I was a kid, I only remember that I liked them haha.
ResponderEliminarScooby Doo is a great series! Sometimes I see her with my nephews.
ResponderEliminarIt´s really surprising heard about it, today I don't realice a childhood full of cartoons, so it's a little bit shocking.
ResponderEliminarWith the you talked us i can understand because liked so much english him, your history is pretty. Bye.
ResponderEliminarThe fact that you saw Scooby Doo in inglish even if you didn't understand what the character were talking was pretty impressive and a little bit cute.

ResponderEliminarWhen I was a kid I didn't have cable TV either, so I watched the national channels and their usual shows. Scooby Doo was definitely one of my favorites!
