I remember getting up to watch cartoons just before 6 a.m. on Saturdays as a kid. I would turn on the TV and there would be a test pattern showing until about 5:57 when it would switch to a flag and the national anthem would play.

Imagine that, a block of time when nothing was being broadcast except a test pattern. If someone saw that today they'd call their provider to report an outage.

In my day we wore onions on our belts, and we liked it.

Back when a kid could the tv on with just one button.

My kids can't quite get everything on and on the right input to watch tv on their own early in the morning

I can't say I was up at 6 a.m., but watching a couple of hours of Saturday morning cartoons was definitely part of my formative years in the 60's. I remember watching the Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner hour. Mom would watch them with us. Some good memories.

It was sad when there wasn't a single good cartoon on any of the three channels.

I was happy when we could get decent reception on all three channels. When cable came along in the 70's (when I was in high school), we had to get a new TV with a remote and my dad went comotose changing the channel to see what else was on!
