Has anyone else noticed that when you get to your mid to late 20s, you start to become interested in things that you liked as a kid again? I've noticed many other people saying the same thing and I wondered why that happens. Usually you go through a phase as a teenager when you think that stuff is "uncool" but then as an adult, you start liking it again. In my 20s I started getting really into retro 80s and early 90s stuff like Peanuts holiday specials, old super nintendo games, classic rock, Disney movies, I still remember being overjoyed a few years ago when I found the old 80s Garfield animated specials on DVD at Walmart. Just watched "The Fox and the Hound" on an old VHS tape last night, and I still watch "Littlest Hobo" reruns as often as I can.

Just wait until you hit your 40s and 50s.

I was watching Garfield (the old ones) with my 4 year old who was not one bit interested in them. I remember watching them as a kid and loving them. All though I have to say I was a bit relieved she wasn't interested, can't believe all the adult humor in those old cartoons. I also remember watching "Look who's Talking" as a kid, I burnt them and started watching with E, totally NOT appropriate for under 13! Lol

That's what was good about 80s cartoons, they were good for kids and there was enough mature humor to entertain adults without being offensive. Lou Rawls and Desiree Goyette did great singing on the Garfield specials and some Peanuts specials. I find she's one of the few female singers with a voice nearly as good as Adele's.
