I have always found Barney and the Teletubbies to be very disturbing. That shit should be banned. 33 minutes ago, fourseasons said: Not sure what's going on with Dr. Seuss but Hasbro got into a PR pickle by saying the Mr. Potato Head brand is going to be renamed as Potato Head and after public outcry had to clarify that Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head will still have those names but it is the brand name that is going to change from Mr. Potato Head to Potato Head. As for The Muppet Show, if you watch it on Disney+ you'll see a disclaimer that it contains content that may be offensive, in particular relating to racial and cultural stereotypes. You can live a happy and contented life without knowing what they are. Yeah, I checked out some of this and turns out to be a whole lotta pointless outrage by some people over a whole lotta nothing, as I expected. Yeesh! As for the Barney and Teletubbies...agree! Though let's be honest, it is nice when we get "Barney'd" ("purpled") with snow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseasons Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Personally, most of what I know about Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends came from toddlers bringing me some education on the subject. "No, that's Henry!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caillou (the character) is that perpetually whiny kid who most parents try like hell to keep their kids away from and avoid playdates with. My guys were just beyond the age range for that show (thank GOD) but for the few episodes I endured, my immediate thought was, "WTF thought that THIS kid was/is modeling good behavior??" Sadly, Barney and the Teletubbies WERE popular when my guys were little and we unfortunately did NOT miss that boat. Teletubbies, UGH....insipid on one level, nightmare fuel on another.

Be careful. Yeah. Wouldn't be disappointed by one more snow and a big one at that. But neither would I be disappointed to be drinking an IPA in shorts/t-shirt on the back patio within the next few weeks. I'll watch the tracking from the sidelines (can't help myself) but don't know if I can muster a lot of excitement for the triple-phasing jackalope after getting a taste of those 60s temps midweek.

Mrs.J Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Have the back door open slightly for the cats. Their cable is out there to watch.

Had to visit my office at Fort Belvoir yesterday to pick up some supplies, first time I was back to my workplace in nearly a year. There is a creek and some wetland near my building and I heard the first few peepers singing their songs yesterday. Spring is getting ready to...spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was so bossy to Max. And for some reason you never ever saw their parents. Occasionally they visited grandma. Also Lazy Town was just horrible. The Miss J’s loved it when little.

First, the clarity/resolution of that YouTube vid is one of the best I've seen. Second, I scanned the entire vid, but starting at the point you suggested reminded me of the Overlook Hotel location in the 1980 movie version of "The Shining." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos_I_Am Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Was able to schedule my COVID vaccine at M&T Bank stadium! So happy.
