Oh my, the "olden days." smiley04_mac The Apple II (E), He-Man and She-Ra... oh the wonders of it all. When I was a kid it was (of course) the above, but She-Ra will always win in that battle... yes, Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street (yep, up till I was about 12...) The Electric Company, The Sprockets, Jem (Synergy!)... and a whole lot of playing outside. Something we seem to not be doing much of these days as children.... sadly.
So far as Power Rangers, I was actually either just in college or finishing high school when it came out in the US, but I attended school with one of the "dopey" characters.... there was a chubby guy and a skinny guy... the skinny guy was my old friend. (Jason Narvy is his name, if anyone's really into it.) Of course we lost touch, and he was a strange bird anyhow, but yep, I know a movie star. ....Oh, and for any ER fans... Kellie Martin, (her character got killed quite a while ago in the show, knifed with Dr. Carter (Noah Wiley)....) we went to the same elementary school. And she was a bi*#@ even then. Hmmm.
And yes, I watch Charmed, Buffy and Bewitched. And I totally can't believe they are making a movie with Nicole Kidman ?!? Gawd, bleah. But I tend to think movies that have been made like "The Craft" are slightly more responsible for making the innocent youngsters believe it is a dark and magical art where anything can be accomplished. I certainly hope that Levitating, Orb-ing, Exploding, Vampire-Hunting, Nose-Twitching, Broom-Flying Women are really not what people think of when their thoughts turn to us.
My goodness, have we ever been over-publicized.
