Omg, do you remember the show "The Fall Guy"?
Haaa! Omg, why did I watch this again? Well, if we're on the subject of amazing 80's television...
Wow.
DO YOU KNOW HOW IN LOVE I WAS WITH RICKY SCHRODER? I begged Mom to take me to the Waterfront Mall (Towers mall, at the time, for the Summerside folks who get how hilarious that is), to Mac's Smokes almost every day after school in hopes that there would be a new edition of Bop, the Big Bopper, Teen Beat- ANYTHING with Ricky's photo in it. I won't get into the story of how I sneakily used someone else's phone (and long distance) to call L.A. repeatedly in hopes that Ricky Schroder would answer the phone. Let's just say I was apprehended and my allowance went to Bell Atlantic that month...
Movin' right along...
What was it to exist without watching and loving the Muppet Show! And the Muppet Movies! Genius.
Who didn't love Punky Brewster!? You'd better believe I have the sheet music for THAT theme song. What a great friggin' show. Soleil Moon Frye, you rocked it gurrrl.
Fraggle Rock. Now, I don't know if it was just me, but I just could not get into Fraggle Rock. I mean, I watched it because, hello, the Trash Heap was hilarious. But Fraggle Rock just seemed to me a very inferior version of the Muppet Show. Having said that, Benjamin's first stuffed doggie's name is Sprocket. Long live Jim Henson.
And then there's was Flaming Road, the nighttime drama/soap featuring Mark Harmon of NCIS fame.
This show was well-loved and faithfully watched in our home until religious slash moral convictions finally put those flamingos to bed for good. The show was only on the air for 2 years. I wonder why? I mean, look at that shirt!
Watched it secretly after school, pretending to just be "flicking through the stations"... 'Nuff said.
Becky, this one's for you. General Hospital baby. General Hospital. God I loved Frisco Jones, like, he was my Ricky Schroder of the LATE 80's/early 90's. The song "All I Need" sent me into orbit. Screw NKOTB. It was ALL about Jack Wagner my friends. Oh, and I named my saxophone after him. Yeah, I said that.
Now. Who out there watched SNL in like, 1989, 1990, 1991? Epic.
Wow. I must have a seVERE case of ADHD or something (every teacher I have ever had could attest to this... kicked out of a few classes for disruptive behaviour? Yeah. Woopsies.) OH ANYWAY, yes, I was saying- I must have a severe case of ADD because I started out this blog with the word "Fall" in mind, simply because I wanted to say:
The Sears 2011 Fall & Winter catalogue is out Eeeheeheheheheheheheheeeee!!!
I. love. Sears. catalogues. The sound of the pages rippling, the waft of the smell of the ink and pages.. omg. The summer one is kinda fun, if you like heat and summer and all that shiz. But if you love the fall, with all the latest sweaters and jeans and booties? Don't friggin' EVEN. I love the nasty pics (way too many embroidered items for my taste... see page 35, item G) and the fabulous pics (beautiful silver haired model on page 85. Amazing.) So go git yer catalogue and git sniffin'.
Oh also, we're getting married at the end of August. But I s'pose that merits its own blog, oui?
