We used to go to the cinema on saturday mornings, the whole morning was devoted to kids stuff, theatre was full of kids and no adults. They'd have silly competitions and lots of serial shows, things like Flash Gordon, that weren't shown on tv, and the cartoons of course

By the time we came out it was lunch time, parents would be waiting outside to pick the kids up, it gave them somewhere to drop the kids while they went shopping

That's something else from childhood that's gone, no more saturday morning cinema :(

All kids seem to do these days is watch telly, play on the Playstation/X-Box/Nintendo or sit in front of the computer screen, which is fine on rainy days when you can't go outside and play, but not all the time, to the exclusion of everything else

Whatever happened to good old fashioned fun

You're right, there's nothing special about saturday mornings anymore

Having said that, today's society is very different from when we grew up, it's not safe for kids to be outside playing without an adult to watch over them these days, when we were kids we spent hours away from home, playing in the woods and by the canal, it just isn't safe for kids to do things like that now, which is a real shame because they miss out on so much pure, unadulterated fun
