Netflix Has the Good Stuff

Everyone,

Tonight we had some friends of Jucie’s over for dinner.  As they came in and met the kids, Butterfly pipes up with this gem:

“We’re watching She-Ra on Netflix.  Netflix has some awesome stuff and this is really good.  Netflix only has the good stuff.  And it’s new too!”

Of course, then I had to explain to her that She-Ra was the cartoon that I used to watch as a little girl.  But it’s new to her and that is what matters.

Other things that Netflix has:

• Voltron- Hello early Power Rangers.  Watch at your own risk though.  I remember loving Voltron as a kid, but now it’s the exact same story line over and over and over again.

• He-Man.  Did you know that He-Man and She-Ra are twins?  I seem to have forgotten that tidbit of information.  They are.  And they have very similar story lines.  These don’t make my ears bleed, although I could do without the cat woman chick.

• Rainbow Bright.  Seriously love Rainbow Bright.  I had Rainbow Bright sheets for years.  I love her horse.  And I love that we watched Rainbow Bright and the Star Stealer and I still remembered what was going to happen next.

• Star Trek, TNG.  I love remembering how we used to watch TNG while eating dinner in our house in Colorado.  My brother and I fought over the chair that you didn’t have to turn all the way around to see the tv.

• The Wonder Years.  Oh Kevin Arnold.  You have such dark curly hair!  And I loved you in The Princess Bride too.  (Another childhood favorite.)  And Winnie with her super long hair.  I love this show.

Things that Netflix doesn’t have:

• Ducktails (who-oh!)
• Gummy Bears (bouncing here and there and everywhere)
• My Little Pony
• Full House
• Saved By the Bell

Get on that Netflix, okay?  Especially the My Little Pony show.  I have a 6 year old who would LOVE it.  And then maybe I could enjoy that instead of the new Care Bears (which, frankly, I hate.)

What show do you remember from your childhood?
