There’s something pretty awesome about connecting with your kids over something you loved when you were young. It offers kids a glimpse into what you were like as a kid yourself and gives you a way to relive your childhood.

As it turns out, cartoons such as the new Netflix original series Inspector Gadget and Danger Mouse are giving parents and their kids loads to bond over. Not only are the old-school classics we all grew up on more popular than ever, but new reboots are introducing a whole new generation to some of our favorite characters.

I'll go first

My son is 12 and just finished the 6th grade.
I was 12 in 1990 and watched The Simpsons, Cosby Show, Full House, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Blossom, and Beverly Hills, 90210.
