All I ever needed to know, I learned from cartoons

From watching cartoons in general:
  • Be content with what you're watching. The cartoons aren't always better on the other channel.
  • Be nice to your sister. If you're not, she might go wake up Mom and Dad. Then they'll get REALLY mad, turn off the TV, and NO ONE will get to watch what they want.
  • The best time to be awake is the early morning. The house is real quiet and you can watch just about anything you want if perfect solitude.
For specific shows:
  • I have the power. - He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
  • Even if your family thinks you've been far outclassed your cousin, you can still make a name for yourself. -- She-Ra
  • Knowing is half the battle. -- G.I. Joe
  • Don't be afraid to be truly, truly, truly outrageous. -- Jem and the Holograms
  • Just like cars, there's more to a person than meets the eye. -- Transformers
  • There's always "next time." -- Inspector Gadget
  • Rather than swear, try saying "smurf." -- The Smurfs
  • Just because a person has two snorks doesn't make them a freak. -- The Snorks
