SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS
Does anybody remember Saturday morning cartoons? I do, but I bet anybody under the age of 15 doesn't. Now Saturday mornings are filled up with news programs like The Early Show, or educational fare like Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures, or live-action shows like Strange Days. But where's the cartoons? The major networks never show them anymore. Saturday was the one day where you didn't have to think about silly things like "learning" and could revel in base animated fare while eating Lucky Charms till your little heart's content. Gosh, I remember the glory days of the 1980s when I was a young buck and I got up early and watched Transformers, He-Man, and GI Joe. Nowadays, if you're a kid and you don't have cable, then you're outta luck. Poor little fellas... Think about the children, I implore you!
I've heard that song Mony, Mony twice in the past two days amazingly enough. The Billy Idol version once, and the original sung by I-don't-know-who once. What the heck does "Mony, Mony" mean anyway? I don't get it. It's not even a word.
So in this article, Lance Bass calls American Idol "cheesy" and says "It feels like they're selling out." But as the article so points out--he's on America's Most Talented Kid, which is the worst, most exploitative piece of trash I've ever seen! Alright, you got me, these kids can sing well--for FOUR years old! It's parents pushing their cute kids in front of an audience, not them necessarily being talented! Lance Bass is the cheesy one, whoring himself out as a judge for that show AND the equally lame Star Search. Loser.
It happened again! (see post below) I have had to avoid commercials for 24, but now I also have to avoid all entertainment programs as well! This morning on E! News Live, the TV reporter Kristen Veitch, or however the heck you spell her name, was telling upcoming happenings about the show! I had to plug my ears for dear life and even so I still think I heard something I shouldn't have! She was also telling people about deaths that would be taking place on certain TV shows! You know, there's a difference between news and spoiling surprises for people, missy! razzum frazzum...
Don't you hate commercials for 24? I can't watch them because they reveal major--and I mean major --plot points! I'd like to actually watch the entire episode rather than see it on a commercial. Is that so wrong? If I see one I have to plug my ears and talk to drown out the sound before I hear something that will spoil the episode. Don't these people have any concern for my need to be surprised??
I'm doubting my skills as a blogger. I wrote two posts, then decided not to post them because I thought they stunk. *sigh* They just didn't have the usual style and wit of my normal posts. If one even thinks there is style and wit in these insane ramblings. *double sigh* I chalked it up to the fact that I've been a tad under the weather and put it behind me. Sheesh, I haven't posted since the 17th! The two readers of this site must be in dire straits! Here's something: You know how some people plug their nose in order to swallow some form of liquid medicine because they don't like the taste? Not me, uh-uh. I enjoy the taste of medicine, plus, it gives you a warm feeling in your belly. Mmmm. Tasty.
