Tip for Grownups #3 FRAGGLE ROCK!

Sorry for the absence yesterday. What I want to try and do is make a new post once a day. So unfortunately I missed yesterday. Still trying to get into the hang of doing these things consistently. ;-)

 

Do you remember any of the shows you watched as a kid? The Saturday morning cartoons? The sitcoms in the evening sitting in the living room with your parents? There is something about those shows that bring us right back to when we were first watching them. Things like Happy Days to the original Transformers cartoon. Hanna Barbara cartoons to the Smurfs. Dinosaurs to Captain Planet. Starsky and Hutch to the old Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. The shows we forgot we watched, and then we are reminded of them.

 

Recently I've been on a crazy comic book hero kick. I've been delving into whatever I can learn (or remember) about everything from X-men to Superman to Batman. With the Smallville season premiere coming up (the 10th and final season), I've been trying to catch up on all that I've missed. I use to watch the show in middle school and high school and now that the show is ending, I'm trying to catch up on what I missed. I use to also watch those cartoons when I was a kid. The old Superman, Batman, X-Men cartoons. The Batman where Mark Hamill was the joker. The Superman cartoon just before the Justice League cartoons started coming out. The old 80s X-Men cartoon. And who could forget Animaniacs? Or The New Adventures of Lois and Clark? 

If sight and smell can connect our memories to a specific time and place, then why wouldn't these old TV shows bring us back to that time in our lives? The shows we watched as kids can bring us right back to that time when we thought we could be Wonder Woman or The Green Lantern. The Halloween costumes we use to wear.

TIP FOR THE DAY: Go out online and try to find one of those old shows you use to watch. Hulu is an awesome site. Also, if you type in online TV shows for free on google, a bunch of different sites will probably come up. Not all of them are as easy and point and click, but sometimes you never know what you could find. Netflix is also good for this. With cheap plans from 4.99 a month for movies in your mailbox, who could ask for more? And with all of those new Smart Phones with video capability and the Ipod Touches where you can download things instantly, there really is not end to where you can find those shows that make you feel like a kid again. Find that show, and watch whatever you can of it. It'll be a great break in the week. And who knows, you might even want to dress up like your favorite character by Halloween!

So don't forget to go out and have fun grown ups!

AND REMEMBER TO PLAY!!!!
