Blast from the Past - do you remember?


Recommended Posts

School House Rock.  I watched these "Live" as a kid.  They aired on the 30 minute break between Saturday morning cartoons, sort of a public service announcement.  I may have seen them in black and white.  

My 2 favorites 

Conjunction Junction

 

And "I'm Just a bill"

And I think of the conjunction one pretty often while writing emails.  

 

And I wish news organizations would watch the bill one before they talk about US legislation and what a governor or the President or whomever is going "to get done".

@Luds I was never a fan of happy family shows like Full House, but I was all about dysfunctional family shows like Roseanne and Married With Children because they were more similar to my family. :P Especially Roseanne because we were working class. Dan Conner remains in my mind one of the greatest TV dads of all time. That's why the last season sucked so much.

This is one of mine. I use the 'arm' line all the time when safety-related things come up at work, but I'm a full generation older (at least) than most of my coworkers, so most of them just look at me like I've got two heads...

 

 

 

 

I also frequently use the phrase 'And knowing is half the battle', I have yet to have anyone indicate they know what I'm talking about (but generally they agree that knowing is indeed half the battle).

I wanted one of these so desperately when I was a kid:

 

One of my friend finally gave me one because he had like 6 of them, but it wasn't the same because I wanted the box/cage they came it, too. Kind of wish I still had it, though, but it got lost/thrown away in the move before I got married.
