Deck the Halls with Wacky Walls!
From 1983, get a load of Deck the Halls with Wacky Walls!
No really, it’s true! Someone made an animated Christmas special about Wacky WallWalkers — those little octopus thingies that kids flung at their bedroom walls. (Or more commonly, their ceilings, where the sticky toys would forever remain.)
It’s an interesting cartoon, I’ll give it that!
Koopa Claus!
Hey, paisanos! It’s a Christmas-themed episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
Yes, you will see King Koopa dressed like Santa Claus.
(I know some of you prefer to save this sort of stuff for December, and that’s cool, but hear me out. December is busy as hell and FLIES by, and I never watch nearly as many specials/movies as I’d intended to. I would not predict that I’d be able to find 30 minutes for Koopa Klaus in December. So here we are.)
Oh hey, the main site was updated tonight with a look at some of this year’s hottest holiday junk food, too. And you can consider this the last call for Dino Drac’s November Funpack — packing ’em as we speak!
TMNT’s First Episode!
Tonight’s random pick: The very first episode of the original Ninja Turtles cartoon.
Well, first two episodes. You kinda need ’em both.
I was (and remain) a huge fan of the series, and as these episodes prove, it got off on the right foot. Such good stuff, and it still holds up!
The Facts of Life Reunion!
Literally not one of you is gonna watch this, but you all should!
It’s The Facts of Life Reunion, a TV movie from 2001. I felt okay about featuring it here, since it’s set around Thanksgiving. Thanks for making a turkey, Mrs. G.
Confession: I’ve never seen this. I have seen the two Facts of Life TV movies that preceded it, but both of them debuted when the show was still in production. So I’m not really sure what we’re in for, here. (Other than the fact that Jo isn’t in it? Fuck that!)
I was a big fan of the series, and I still feel weirdly protective of the cast. Like I have an irrational need for them to do well and be well. (Hell, Natalie is practically the only celebrity I follow on Twitter. And I’m sure she’d love being referred to as “Natalie.”)
If you don’t want to watch it, FINE. I’ll give you a survey, too:
In the comments, tell me and everyone else about your preferred version of THANKSGIVING STUFFING. What’s in it?
