For your Edification
So some of you have heard me rant and rave about a show from my childhood - and nobody seems to believe it ever existed. . . The show is "Long Ago and Far Away" - and it pretty much involved James Earl Jones introducing animated fairy tales. It was the best show ever. And this was its opening sequence:
PBS is just so cool
I was kind of fairy tale obsessed as a kid, now that I think of it:
Fairy Tale Theater with Shelley Duvall
Grimm's Fairy Tales from Old School Nickelodeon
Anybody else remember these?
I never really got bit by the high fantasy bug, gave up on scifi after I couldn't find any female-centric storylines I liked. . . but damn did I love fairy tales and myths.
I can't help but wonder why, amid all the Harry Potter insanity, there aren't more kids shows about traditional magic - Not just the Fairly Oddparents, but moody, creepy, mildly trippy shows like the ones I remember so well. . . *sigh*
