Aaah nostalgia!
Even I've stopped watching CN these days. I've heard that they air all the old ones on Boomerang, but I'm not getting it here.
I remember the old days when i was in school and I used to sit and watch Power Zone from 1-3 pm, later on 2-4 pm I guess. Anyone remember all those short flicks like Space Ghost, Birdman, Shazaan, etc?
I really miss the other short flicks like Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, Huckleberry Hound, Precious Pupp, Squiddly Diddly, etc. Top Cat was one of my all time favs. So were the Flintstones and The Jetsons.
I don't know why, but I somehow lost the urge to watch the shows after they started showing them completely in Hindi (no offense please, I've seen people getting ferocious here over languages - this does not mean I don't like Hindi, in fact, it's my preferred language of speech). The cable operator here doesn't give any option for the users choosing the languages.
But if I have to give someone credit for my knowledge and grasp of the English language, I would say CN was one of them. Its just that the jokes and punchlines doesn't feel the same after the dubbing. I mean, for me, the essence of it all gets lost in translation. And no one can replace Mel Blanc for the Looney Tunes (Mel Blanc was the voice behind them all).
I still watch Tom and Jerry sometimes on CN, but I really,
really hate it when they show ads in between a show. Arre, how long is a Tom and Jerry show yaar? Atleast show the ads after one show ends... sheesh!
