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.

Looking for a fun and easy way to connect with your kids? Figure out what you have in common.

How old is your child?
What grade is he/she in?
What shows did you watch at that age / in that grade?

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.

My daughter is 5 and will be entering Kindergarten in the fall.
I was 5 in 1983 and watched Inspector Gadget, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, and Reading Rainbow.

Then, why not create a new family tradition: Throwback Thursday, where you and your family what your favorite TV shows.
