NaBloPoMo 2013 - Day 5
Today's suggested prompt is:
5. What show from your childhood would you love to bring back?
This is a tricky one. Now that everything is on DVD and Netflix, the shows from my childhood ARE back. And, sadly, a lot of them don't hold up. I mean, Get Smart was the smartest, funniest thing ever. On re-watch, well, the sets look cheap, the laugh-track is really annoying, the humour is so broad, and I had no idea how distracting actors whose teeth have not been whitened to within an inch of super-nova really were. I still feel all warm and fuzzy about my memories (my late father loved this show; we use lines of dialog all the time) but I don't want to watch anymore. And no reboot, thanks.
Having said that, I must mention that Sleepy Hollow is back after a rather-brief-but-still-too-long hiatus, and it's as messed-up as ever. I mean, high production values, fantastic acting, cute cute cute omg cute lead, and just the dumbest dumb that was ever dumb. It's gotten to the point where I am now waiting to see what super-annoying thing they have to do to make me not watch. (I suspect this will be making Tom Mison shave. That happens, I am outta.)
And how are you all today?
