when we grow up

Last night I went to an open house school tour for the mini, so she had an evening playdate with her best bud. When I came to pick her up, she was watching Free to Be... You and Me. My friend J is a HUGE fan of this soundtrack. In fact every time I get into her car, 9 times out of 10, it's playing. This record album and illustrated songbook came out in 1974 and has an amzing cast. Here is a little ditty about when you grow up....with Michael Jackson. Hummm. I wonder what happened?

my how childrens television has changed

You Can't Do That On Television started in Ontario Canada in 1979. It did not hit the Nickelodeon circut until 1984, making it the highest-rated television program of that time. The name says it all, there were alot of things that they should not have done on television.....but that's what made me watch it back then. Kinda makes SpongeBob SquarePants feel like Little Bear.

urban goes gabba?

Urban Outtfitters is selling Yo Gabba Gabba figures??? Really??

takes me back

Chapi Chapo (chapeaux, in french means "hats") was a stop-motion French short series created in 1974. The music and them song is so catchy. I have found myself singing it several times in my life. The main characters, Chapi and Chapo, move around as if locked in a Atari game. It hit the American scene in the 1980's on the Nickelodeon show Pinwheel. Yes, yet another childhood theme song that I just can't shake......and I dont know if I ever want to.

yo gabba gabba

Yo Gabba Gabba is my daughters (ok, my) newest obsession. if you have not checked it out yet, you are wasting precious time. i know, some people think that television is the root of all evil. i will agree to disagree with you. it's like the modern day electric company.

if having Biz Markie's beat of the day is wrong then i dont want to be right.
