Do your toddlers watch any oldies that you grew up with ?

My dad got all the cousins hooked on watching Tom&Jerry
and they LOOVE it.

My hubby thinks its SOOO COOL to relive his childhood through his boys, he's in heaven sitting on the floor with them...

So far theyre quite familiar with
Looney Tunes
Brady Bunch
Star Wars
Superman (the original)
very briefly the 3 stooges, we didnt think that was the greatest infuence
PeeWee Herman (I think its annoying that they love it so much but they ADORE this goof )
and mommy's favorites
Willy Wonka
Mary Poppins
Pinocchio (have the original Italian version too)

cant think of anymore.
anyone else's hubby doing this ?

My 4.5 year old absolutely LOVES:
Tom & Jerry
Looney Tunes
Scooby Doo
Smurfs

Basically, whatever is on Boomerang.

I always have to preface these shows with, "ARe these guys behaving nicely?" to which my son always replies, "No mommy. They are not being nice to each other. But that's what they do in these old cartoons."
He is so right. They are so violent. But we all grew up ok (well, pretty much), right?

All of the time.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Mary Poppins
Lady & the Tramp
Herbie the Love Bug
Lassie
Abbott & Costello
The Wizard of Oz
Willy Wonka & Chocolate Factory

Willy Wonka is the most handy one. When Joseph was 2-1/2, he said "Mommy that girl isn't using manners. She didn't say please or thank you" So now when we go to the store, he says "Mom can I have a Spiderman" "Mom, I want a Batman." "Can I have a Spongebob?" I just smile & say "Of course, would you also like an Oompa Loompa too?". He usually will laugh and say "Ok, I'll remember it for my birthday."

I'm sure she will be when shes older. My nieces are into Willy Wonka and Petes Dragon because I bought the DVD's for them. I watch it with them

Of course Emily watches Sesame Street and DH and I are rediscovering our love for it...

I'm hoping that she ends up loving Mary Poppins (one of my favo movies of all time!), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and DH already has her watching School House Rock even though I keep telling him that she doesn't like it!!!!

My 4 year old daughter is obsessed with Full House, she says that when she gets older she is going to marry Uncle Jessie!
