What Could Have Been

Hiya, guys! I know it's been a while. Just haven't had any real inspiration hit my noggin until today with a fun and somewhat reminiscent conversation on Twitter with a bud. And once again, all I can say to you guys is to buckle up and ready yourselves for a good old fashioned Trista babble fest, complete with all the randomness your heart could POSSIBLY desire!
You guys know already that I have issues with modern day cartoons. I feel they dumb things down for children. So unlike the classic shows we had as kids. You could sit and watch 30 minutes of Nickelodeon and learn that you definitely never wanted a plumber that was missing a nose coming after you in your sleep! Death by plunger... not very appealing. Yep... I'm talking about that old Nick classic "Salute Your Shorts"! I LOVED that show! You know how some things just stick with you? The theme song to that show was one of them! Along with the everyday life lessons they taught... Exhibit A... NEVER ALLOW A GROUP OF FRIENDS TO NICKNAME YOU DONKEY! The reprecussions in life have to be bad... The poor guy doesn't even act anymore!
Then there was Doug, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, AHHHH Real Monsters, Are You Afraid of the Dark. I believe Are you Afraid of the Dark was actually in the little Saturday night program Nick had called Snick. Clever, huh? OH! And KABLAAM was AWESOME!!!! Anyone remember it? The show that took place inside of the comicbook? SOOO much fun! Then of course every girl HAD to watch Clariss Explains It All ANYTIME IT WAS ON! I remember how badly I wanted a brother to call "Ferg Face", just cause. LOL!
Shows back then just said everything they needed to say... PBS was the station back then for dumbed down television shows. Why do people conform? They think it makes things easier when in reality... it only makes you look stupid, like you have no individual ideas.
In short I WANT THE GOOD OL' SHOWS BACK ON THE TUBE!!!! I think we should picket! Till next time guys! :o)
