Things I have learnt from the Nostalgia Critic so far
First of all, context: I can't stop watching Nostalgia Critic and Nostalgia Chick. Very funny, very well observed, occasionally fantastically brutal reviews of old(ish - from the eighties and nineties, mostly) kids tv shows and movies.

I am so sorry. Truly it was a horrifying show, and I should have thought before mentioning it so casually and with so little warning. I've worked up something of a resitance to it through shared commiseration with my mother (who was just as boggled and annoyed by it as me when she was little. Honestly, why would they re-air that?!), but I do hope I've not done you too much harm in my insensitivity. *pats you*
Maybe you could fight your dad off with some super-sonic sonar radar next time?
