Culture, My Kids Don't Have It

My kids were watching TV today and I parked my bum on the couch too. After watching the dribble they call TV I tried to explain to them what good TV was. I told them about The Trapdoor, the blue guy Bourke and all the monsters he battled, but they argued that The Legend of Dick and Dom is far better. Dick and Dom piss me off but I will admit I snickered the first time I heard the shows name. Yes my mind makes frequent trips to the gutter, somethings can't be helped.

This discussion soon turned into the great crappy TV show debate. I admitted to liking Sponge Bob but preferred The Muppet show. Statler and Waldorf beat Sponge Bob and Patrick hands done for cutting wit.

We then started on what I watched when I was a small child and they laughed their ass's off about the man from the moon with a pencil for a nose. Mr Squiggle rocked who else could call out "Miss Jane. Miss Jane.Your pulling my leg"as a hot blonde tried to stop him floating away. This must have been the start to all those trips my mind takes to the gutter. I loved Gus the Snail and Bill Steamshovel, Mr Squiggle's co stars. The ill tempered blackboard was annoying but I suffered him just so I could see what weird upside down drawings the man from the moon would end up doing.

These guys entertained me most days after school. I was sorry to see them leave the air.

After being laughed at for my low brow entertainment choices I left the room with " Try Wylie Coyote and The Roadrunner ".

I try to educate my children on the classics but obviously I don't cut it in this area.
