Summer Camp

I almost forgot about this classic Nickelodeon show, I found out that they had a reunion last year at Comikaze.  It was about a group of kids and the mischief that they caused while away at summer camp.  I'll dive deeper into the show on my next blog.  But before I leave here is a clue.

UPDATE:  I haven't had a chance to rewatch the show yet, but I'm going to really soon.  *sorry*

More thoughts of Hey Dude: Season 1

After my initial excitement of actually getting to watch this series again, I put it away and haven't really watched it again until recently.  The nostalgia of it is still makes my heart patter, but now I'm watching it without my rose colored glasses.

I can say that at the time that this originally aired there really wasn't anything else like it on the air.  A bunch of kids working a summer job on a dude ranch, mind you they literally spent the whole summer at the Bar None Ranch away from their families.  Yes, by today's standards the acting is horrible and cheesy.  You would think that working on a Dude Ranch, there would be a lot of excitement and action.  Most everything was toned down, possibly because they didn't want the actors getting hurt?

Most of season 1 featured Brad and Ted arguing and tension between the sexes.  One episode even featured a boys vs girls competition.  They were on a DUDE RANCH, and the coolest thing we get it an obvious calm horse, trying to act wild while Brad calms him down to ride.  On the note of Brad, I have never heard of a girl named Bradley.

I don't think that this show would stand a chance by today's standards, but by 1989's it was alright.

SIDE NOTE:  I'm thinking of getting season 2.

Scetch Comedy for kids

Fresh out the box
Stop, look, and watch
Ready yet, get set
It's All That!

I bet you all know where this is going.  Yes, I was an avid All That fan.  I just watched some sketches on YouTube and they are still hilarious.  Lori Beth and Katrina were my favorites by far. (girl power)  Although I do love all of the original cast.  My favorite reoccurring sketches were, Baggin Saggin Barry, Cooking  with Randy and Mandy, Lemonade Scammer,  Good Burger, Super Dude, Detective Dan, Island girls, Miss Fingerly, the loud Librarian, and Vital Information.  I guess it would've been easier for me to list my least favorites.  I was so in love with the show, there is a cassette tape out in the universe somewhere that my sister and I do our own versions of our favorite skits.  I sure hope that tape doesn't wind up in the wrong hands, lol.

Yesterday I was looking up Katrina Johnson on YouTube and was surprised to find out that there was a All That reunion at  Comikaze Expo just a few months ago.  So needless to say I nerded all over the place watching the Comikaze footage and remembering the good ole days.  I'm still waiting for it to make it on DVD, so I can really watch it!

What were some of your favorite "All That" moments?

And yes, they did have a catchy theme song!  (I'm starting to realize that most shows I watched did and got stuck in my head forever and ever and EVER!)
