Past comes alive
Ever have that feeling that in order to move forward with your life you must look back to your past? Well I've been doing a lot of that lately, and pulling out old gems I used to watch on television, that have long since been cancelled or ruined due to main characters leaving.
I recently purchased the entire Eerie Indiana series box set on Amazon.com and I cannot wait to get it.
Why? Well, I used to watch the show with my parents at 7pm on Sundays (new episodes) then again the following Saturday to watch whichever repeat they decided to play.
I loved watching it, even though at the time I was only 6 or 7 and didn't understand the show much. It was still whacky and funny (which is why I liked it), but now looking back at it there are several things I can get from the series I couldn't before, since I've learned so much from life.

I recently got the 3rd season of a series I watched with my mom, maybe not as loyaly as Eerie Indiana, but I still watched it frequently. The show was called Sliders starring Jerry O'connor (connel? The guy from Joe's Appartment, and several different tv shows and movies.) It's aged fairly well (minus computer graphic creatures) still every bit as enjoyable to watch.

Currently I'm trying to get ahold of a little series called Brisco County Jr. which starred Bruce Campble (Evil Dead series, Hercules, Xena, Jack of all trades, etc. Basicly he's everywhere). Which was a weird yet original series, about the wild west, with a scifi twist.

Pretty amazing reaching back to my past and watching some things I enjoyed then, and finding I still enjoy them just as much, if not more. You too should retrace your steps and find the better things that life has to offer... your childhood, after all, it may be the only way to deal with stress in a non-hazardous way.

I hadn't heard of any of those 'til you told me about them. sweatdrop


When I was little, I remember staying up to watch the original Space Ghost... It was ******** awesome. The new stuff is crap, I hate it. If only the originals came on... Then I'd watch The Little Mermaid in the mornings, and later I'd watch Ren and Stimpy, Rocco's Modern Life, Goosebumps, and Are You Afraid Of The Dark?. memories... I love those days. ;.;

Ha! You're missing out, Eerie Indiana (the original, not the stupid a** remake), So totally, blew Goosebumps and are you afraid of the dark out of the water, with dynamite... Sadly, people fell for the cheesy-ness of goosebumps and are you afraid of the dark (probably because everyone was still in school at the time, being forced to do book reports, so everyone choose the R.L. Stein books and knew the stories from which the show based its episodes on.) Anyways, Eerie Indiana was a more mature, yet comical parody on some of life's greatest moments.

things they made pardies of...

    Bigfoot (he dug through their trash)
    Elvis (he was on Marshall's Paper Route)
    Tupperware parties (pilot episode, was about tupperware being used as anti-aging)


It could go on and on and on... Though sadly, Fox pulled the plug on it just as people started to fall for the show. Like they do with a lot of their shows. *cough*FAMILY GUY(at least 2 times now)*cough*
