Let's see what's through the FUCKING DIAMOND WINDOW
I don't exactly lead a very interesting life. Let me tell y'all about what I did today.
I watched ABC kids.
For your pleasure, (ha!) I am going to review the QUALITY PROGRAMMING the ABC provides for our nation's impressionable youth. Please excuse my liberal use of capslock. I get very passionate about these things.
Let's start with Playschool. For those of you were unfortunate enough to grow up somewhere other than Australia, or alternatively, under a rock, Playschool is a national institution. Reputable actors consider it an honour to host it. In short, Playschool fucking rocks. HOWEVER! I have a few small issues with Playschool as it currently stands:
WTF DIAMOND WINDOW?! WHY DID THEY FEEL THE NEED TO ADD THE STUPID DIAMOND WINDOW? NOBODY LIKES THE DIAMOND WINDOW. THE ROUND, SQUARE, AND ARCH WERE ENOUGH. At least, they were in my day. *grumbles*
Where is the Rocket Clock? The Rocket Clock was classy. It was all silver and shiny and had stars and that wicked theme music. None of this Hickory Dickory bullshit. I just don't get why they had to mess with perfection. Sigh.
Next up, we have Peppa Pig. I actually find this show physically revolting. It's a bunch of stupid, ugly, badly drawn pigs making horrible snorting noises. And when they laugh, they fall over on their backs and have fits. It's just, freaking creepy, really.
Somewhere along the line there's this show called Bing and Bong or Tiny Planets or something. It's about fluffy white things that share a sofa bed. I don't know. It's kind of lame.
Taking up the spot that used to belong to Charlie and Lola (the cutest show on earth, for real) is the incredibly stupid The Koala Brothers. They live in the outback, and save the day in their stupid plane. It's really dumb and horribly clichéd and I honestly hope to god we don't export it to anywhere else.
Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs is far more palatable. Sadly, it's not as cool as its name would lead you to believe, but it's still pretty cool. How can you go wrong with a bucket full of dinosaurs though? I kind of wish I had a bucket full of dinosaurs. It'd be sweet.
After that they get into the programming for slightly older kids, which is mostly lame, and none of it can match Captain Planet for sheer awesomosity. Also, it's really sad that we have to import really shitty live action shows from New Zealand. Can't we just make our own shitty shows?
God, this was the most pointless post EVER.
And the fic? It's just over 2000 words now. wtf.
