Some Noise

This was a great movie. I suspect that it will live a long life in public schools.

It is always really nice to listen to Morgan Freeman's voice, as well.

Pee Wee demonstrated how to make a turkey doodle in one of the earlier episodes. I cannot remember which one.

Shin decides to eat enough sausages so that he can have enough stickers from the packages so that he can get the Bastard Action Belt.

There is a commercial (being shown quite often now) which haunted me when I was not watching. Then, with the sound off (and this is a commercial without closed captions) it still haunts. The young Asian woman looks sincerely back at you and informs you that she will be treating your problems as if they were her own.

See, I know this girl. I was that age and I was very sincere then. The problems I had when I was that age, I still have now because I either did not see them as problems or I totally ignored them or put them off until a later date or a combination of all three of these options.

I watched this the first time. My mind was a blank. I had no idea what it was I was seeing.

The television set I have been watching has not been producing sound for not quite a month yet. In these few weeks, I have determined that I am writing like one of them, having visions of another and meanwhile, solving the problems of another one of them.

"Them" being people who have been on the televison I watch quite a bit in the last year and a half.

I don't do everything the bump says, but they mentioned that their jobs depended on me watching Shin Chan.

Dr. Johnny Fever appears lifeless in the discjockey chair -- he could be shot or passed out drunk or simply sleeping. The music is playing that Van Morrison song. (No, probably not that one, another one....). When the song starts to "La la lalalalahhh lah lah lah lanh lanh lanh", Johnny slowly lifts his head and lip syncs along with the warbling Mr. Morrison.

That was entertaining television.

When I originally saw Pee Wee's Playhouse, I saw episodes of it mostly in the first year. I liked it. I used to say that Pee Wee could do in a half an hour what used to take the Captain (Captain Kangaroo) a whole hour.

There is nothing in these shows that children can't see. So, at least on this web site, Pee Wee's Playhouse is moving to the safe for 14 and below. It might actually be safer for children ages 14 and less.

She has pennies instead of eye balls. Unlike Harvey Birdman, she has pupils. She has a way of telling about her life. I think that what I wrote here can be blamed on hearing Penny again.

yosh (poking online at things):

It says here that Laurence Fishburne was in this.

yosh:

heh

carol:

Yeah, didn't you recognize him?

yosh:

nope

carol:

cowboy curtis and othello. quite a career.

carol:

Yosh, do you remember -- when you saw this show the first time through, do you remember if you used to say the magic words with Jambi?

yosh:

[A giant video screen appears on his belly showing an enraptured little indian kid chanting along with the tv screen] I don't remember.

carol:

I admit, I might have. Those were some of the goofiest of my college days. Think back, you should be able to remember that.

yosh:

[The giant video screen appears on his belly showing a montage of the same enraptured little indian kid chanting along with the tv screen on several different days. We see the child start to mature and still chant along with the tv set.] I really don't remember.

PW:

[soars away on his scooter]

carol:

Would you look at that. Replace the scooter with a fluffy dog that has wings and you got the closing credits for Andy Milonakis!

yosh:

heh, you're right.
