Life Was Simple With School House Rock on Saturday Mornings

While performing my daily on-line job searching this morning, I threw in the "School House Rock! Rocks" CD from my CD collection (that I have this in my collection shouldn't surprise anyone after my confessing to owning the "Brady Bunch Kids" CD).  The "School House Rock! Rocks" CD is a compilation of indie artists/groups covering the Saturday morning educational cartoon breaks that ran during the 70s/80s.  I remember jumping out of bed on Saturday mornings, so glad that I didn't have to go to school, and my sis and bro and I would turn on the clunky ugly console TV in the family room and watch Saturday morning cartoons, interspersed with the School House Rock bits.  You remember those (if you are of a certain age, you must), right?

Anyway, while listening to the CD and looking for a job (sigh), memories of childhood Saturday mornings came gushing back.  Remember the Sid and Marty Krofft shows:  "Land of the Lost", "H.R. Pufnstuf", "Sigmund and the Seamonsters", "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl", and "Lidsville (the one with the big magic hat)"?  I think during the 70's Sid and Marty Krofft were accused of doing pot and LSD because their shows were so bizarre!  They were awesome.

What a much simpler time then.  I didn't have to worry about mortgage payments, unemployment, health insurance, taxes, etc.  My parents took care of all that.  My job was to eat Cheerios, play outside, go to school and make sure my homework was done.  I miss the simple things in life that didn't seem so significant back then, but apparently they were because I long for them now.  Enough of a jaunt down memory lane; back to the job search.  Enjoy your day

I used to watch those Kroft shows before I went to the bus stop in high school. I loved that stuff!
