Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 04, 2020

Well now it’s so casually accepting. Things that people are rioting over in the real world don’t even get a double take in this show.

Hey! Pinkie Pie has a cannon like that! Speaking of which, you think F.I.M will age well in the future?

Somewhat similarly, know of any online streaming sites whereon to watch the original 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Actually, real confetti is pretty much okay, but most, today, is bits of plastic and that IS a problem for the environment.

Phoebe’s parents are right. I tried watching some of my old shows from way back in the late 70s. It was painful.

“Clutch Cargo” was a mind-bender when I originally watched it.

I use to enjoy the APP (Associated Artists Productions) Popeye ’toons in the 1960s when I was a child. Later when I got older and saw the really early Popeye cartoons I realized how cheaper-quality and low-budget the newer ones were. The early Popeye characters even casted shadows! Examples:

APP (1954): https://youtu.be/ehPRG8OU0y8

Max Fleischer (1936): https://youtu.be/QIwUpvf2jXY

Captain Kangaroo is forever. I’m just sayin’.

Red Dwarf is immortal! Same for Blackadder!

What’s REALLY unnerving is when you watch an old show or movie and stuff that you could swear you remember happening didn’t happen the way you always thought it did.

Hmmm…I may need to binge watch Firefly during Christmas holidays in the name of scientific inquiry.

The English serials I watched as a kid were already reruns of old TV programs (think “I love Lucy”, for example). I doubt if my kids will even sniff at ’em. :D

For science? Does this mean that Phoebe is looking to become a Girl Genius? https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/

Well, rest assured, there are some shows that age remarkably well, despite everything, so there’s cause to hope, Phoebe. ;)

Hear Hear…..

For Science!

There is a school of thought that, if a property was hot once, it can be so again. Thus we get reboots of The Green Hornet, The Lone Ranger, Captain “Shazam!” Marvel, The Little Rascals, Car 54, Sgt. Bilko - I can go on -

Larry Harmon, who owned Bozo the Clown, also had the license to Laurel & Hardy; you may remember the Hanna-Barbera cartoons done under his imprimatur. When they tried to do a new live-action L&H movie in 1999 — “For Love or Mummy” — Larry finagled himself a cameo. You can get a sense from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1Wk0YYBvK4

Science is the best!

Sportswriter Joe Posnanski has coined the term “Pixifood” for foods (such as PixiStix) that were great when we were kids, and are just awful now. The same concept applies to TV Shows as well. Some old shows can still be watched and enjoyed. Some are ok, though you have to make some accomodation for their age. And some are just downright awful now.

That’s how my wife’s grandmother couches her explanation of why she binge watches “The ‘L’ Word” every other month.

Jackie Chan Adventures is still great. As is the movie about the pastel ponies. They’d better keep their hand off Inspector Gadget TOS, though. With exception of Capeman. He deserves to suffer!!

I believe Confetti Canyon is the parade route in downtown New York City…

How about after you hit puberty. For science and humanity!

fOrEvEr you say???try that with your favourite book. I don’t like diary of a wimpy kid as much as I did when I was little.

How has it been 5 months and still no Portal 2 (or Portable Hole 2)-related comment?Well, I’m just going to make one now.

it’s all confetti if you drink the right potion
