I've gotten my kids hooked on "Happy Days". Will this get my status as mother-of-the-year revoked?

1. Sit on it!

:hi:

2. *snarf*

[geardaddy]

3. I used to love Happy Days.

Now when I see it it seems soooo lame.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Yah. It's like that with all child hood things. Or do ya still loveTwinkies in your lunchbox?

:D

[geardaddy]

11. I never liked Twinkies

I preferred Ho-Hos and Ding-Dongs.

As long as your kids learn there's more to Henry Winkler than Adam Sandler films.

7. A Bronzerelli statue?

15. Done deal.

Statue going up this summer.

And a local gallery owner closing up shop in protest.

16. I think closing the gallery is a bad idea. Come on, look at what Andy Warhol was able to do with pop

icons. I say roll with it for that unveiling week, and then go back to doing what you were doing before, y'know?

12. We've got an MTM statue in DT Minneapolis

6. They're going to have nightmares and wake up screaming "WHAT HAPPENED TO CHUCK?!!"

But perhaps you can live with that?

8. Was he the vanishing older son?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Yes. They killed him then they remodeled the house, moving the >

> staircase across the room and hiding the body in the process. Officer Kirk was suspicious but he couldn't prove anything.

10. The opposite thing happened on "The Cosby Show". When they remodeled the house they

gained an extra older daughter. LOL

[tigereye]

13. they could be hooked on Black Adder

that's what goes on at my house...


:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. They love it, but some of the episodes are a bit mature for them. They'll have to wait a

few years before they see all of them.

[tigereye]

17. he's seen a lot of Monty Python, so i think that was the lead-on

there are a lot of off-color jokes - perfect for pre-teens. :P

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Mine are 8 and 10 and since hubby is a religious conservative he gets really

touchy about the off-color stuff.

[tigereye]

23. I love Brit shows

I wish American tv was less puritanical. I always laugh to myself when the Python DVD has pix of the bobbies with breasts - it's so offbeat.



I think the off-color stuff is the price you pay for a lot of the wit, I suppose.



My husband is a Taoist of sorts, so he kind of takes everything in stride. :)

18. Gotta have them watch Arrested Development next!

It has most of the cast of Happy Days in it - Ron Howard (as the narrator), Henry Winker (Barry Zuckerkorn), Scott Baio (Bob Loblaw), and so on.

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Is it all right for 8 and 10 yr olds? Hubby would freak if I let them watch

anything not age appropriate.

[Initech]

21. Probably not.

Especially any show that can use the line "I blue myself" in context. :rofl:

[The2ndWheel]

22. It has a puppet

And good lessons for kids to learn.
