    Fraggle Rock had some of the great music of any children’s series ever.

    This was the year after he and I had been called to the Head of School’s office over her concerns that he was upsetting the other children by talking about suicide. When she asked him if he knew what it meant and how he knew he said yes he knew and that Grandpa Simpson tried to kill himself in the diePod. That same year I had a parent tell me that her son kept saying “pie pants” and told her that my son had started saying it during a science experiment and he thought it was really funny but didn’t know what it meant.

    He also used to entertain us by reciting the dialog in all the voices of an entire “Hi Dr. Nick!” scene.
    I’m an excellent parent.



    My kids got xm satellite radio 60s, 70s, 80s, Classic Vinyl, and Classic Rewind. My daughter texted me from Italy during a semester abroad thanking me for “raising her right” after she was the only person in the karaoke bar, Italian or American, to know all the words to Crocodile Rock. (And I don’t want any lip from you CD)
    My very strong compliments! Excellent parenting!

    We set the right tone day 0 by naming our daughter Lennon (after John).

    I really want to honor my father and father-in-law and name our oldest son James Earl. I might have stood a shot until I told my wife we could nickname him Vader.

    The second kid I tried hard to go for JSON (as in the javascript object notation) but she insited on Jason (after the DBR mod). It's one of the reasons I get away with so much around here (I kid, I don't even think Jason knows we named our kid after him)

    There are three very famous James Earl's - James Earl Jones (which I agree would be incredible - my favorite movie is Field of Dreams), James Earl Ray (pretty far in the opposite direction), and James Earl Carter (incredible human being, opinions vary on his success as a politician).

    Star Wars Rebels. For many years, the best non original trilogy Star Wars out there.

    And I enjoyed watching Clone Wars with my son.

    Purposefully. Here's to never remembering. (Other than giving Boba Fett some depth.)

    Excellent.

    I seem to recall them doing a whole musical countdown show. Every 15-minute episode featured an original song IIRC (or at least something like that).

    I blame this thread for this terrible news. The timing is just too suspicious.

    Toy giant Mattel (MAT) announced Monday that Barney, the friendly (and, let’s be honest, cringe-worthy to a large group of Millennials who watched him as pre-schoolers, and to their parents) purple dinosaur is making a triumphant return to TVs and toy shelves next year. Thanks to the switch from live-action to animation, he’s now also got great big eyes.
