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. To my best profit, the TV shows for kids were broadcast in English only!.

I remember I really Really REALLY loved not understanding the shows 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.

  1. Hi teacher, the first episodes of Scooby-Doo are the best, my mom showed me the series when I was very little and I agree that the best part was when they discovered the mystery. Hopefully I can see some anime movies, I recommend Studios Ghibli.

  2. Hi teacher! Scoby Dooh was also one of my favorite series. Especially the old version. It was the biggest suspense I ever felt in my childhood. I always remember a chapter or it was a movie where they caught a mummy haha ​​I saw it like 100 times.

  4. Hi teacher!, I think the old cartoons are better than the new ones from this time. And I think is very interesting that you watched cartoons in english.

  5. Hi teacher! I loved Scooby Doo when i was young. I agree that the old cartoons had a special magic. However, the new ones are trying to repeat that magic

  6. Hi teacher! Friends is also one of my favorite series, when someone tells me that they also like the program I always ask them if they think that Rachel made the right decision by not going to Paris. What do you think?

    ResponderEliminar
  7. I confess that the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the Scooby-Doo meme was that song that goes: “Scooby-Doo pa pa, y el pum pum pum”. Back to the previous topic, the shows that you watched were pretty good!! There is a reason why they continue to be sold as a franchise, either through clothes, items or live action movies.

  8. Hi teacher! I have to say that I agree with my classmates, the olds cartoons are the best, those of these times are very boring. Friends is also one of my favorite series, it´s iconic! My favorite character is Joey. Which one is yours?

  15. Hi Teacher! "Scooby-Doo", what a classic! I always saw a remake version on the TV, but I'm still prefering the old. Another great show by the creators of "Scooby-Doo" is "The Flintstones", a really funny and nice comedy for all the family.

  17. Hi teacher!
    I remember that when I was young I really enjoyed watching Scooby Doo. Their mysteries were too entertaining! However, the current animated series seems to me to be too boring, it does not have the same essence as before.

  43. Hello teacher. When I was a kid, I also watch a lot of cartoons. Scooby-Doo was one of my favourites. I really enjoy your blog.

  44. Hello teacher, I have never seen a complete Scooby Doo episode, I have always been very scary and I was afraid to watch the episodes, even though it was an animated series hahahahahahahah

    ResponderEliminar
  45. Hi teacher, I hope you are well, Scooby Doo is one of my favourite series as a child, I watched all the live action movies! and I remember playing his games on the computer when I was little, he is one of the best cartoons ever! haha.

    ResponderEliminar
  46. Hi teacher! I also really loved those shows as a child. I lived a similar experience as you but with comics. My grandmother always gave comic books about Mickey and Donald Duck, but they all were in French, because she was a french teacher and she wanted me to learn it. I never understood them, but I had a lot of fun watching the drawings.

    ResponderEliminar
  47. Hi teacher, I really love Scooby Doo I always watches in canal 13 around 10:00 am I think on weekends, I think all of those series tare part of our essence.

    ResponderEliminar
  48. Hi teacher, what a coincidence, Scooby doo was also one of my favorite series, now the design of the characters and plot is very far from what it was before.

    ResponderEliminar
  49. In my time I saw the Scooby Doo movies acted by real people and now that I see them over time, I think they are really bad. I also remember going to the Cartoon Network website to play the Scooby Doo games.

    ResponderEliminar
  50. Hello Professor! When I was a kid I also liked Scooby Doo, especially the character of Shaggy.

    ResponderEliminar
  51. Woaaah, to think that those days there was very few programs, then public channels, and now netflix, amazon and many more possibilities that gives us the opportunity to watch series. It makes me think how the home entertainment has evolved since then.
