Mama Always ~ L.A. Brown, Author

What I have determined is that we had it easy as kids. You heard me right, we had it easy. Sure, there were no computers when I was a kid except that huge warehouse-sized IBM one somewhere in corporate America. We didn't have more than three channels to choose from instead of the hundreds that are available now. Like the commercial says for U-Verse...we couldn't just move the t.v. from one room to another without losing our picture. If you didn't have an aeriel antenna then you had some sort of rabbit ears. Even then, sometimes you had to put aluminum foil on them to get a better picture. We had Saturday morning cartoons, Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner; Johnny Quest; Speed Racer ( I hated that one...couldn't keep up with the lips there); Looney Tunes which was separate from Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner. Sundays we had an abbreviated version of Saturday cartoons, they were only on for a couple of hours before Church. Sunday night it was Wild Kingdom and The Wonderful World of Disney...

OK, I have to admit it....I'm a bit of a Trekkie. I love The Next Generation, have actually attended a Trek Convention ( I know, right?), and am currently going through the first season via Netflix. If I had known that Netflix was this cool, I would have dropped my movie channels a long time ago! Lol! Anyway, Netflix is my new favorite channel because I can get my fill of Star Trek TNG, Voyager and Deep Space Nine any time I want. The original Star Trek is too hokey...the aliens look more like the monsters from Japanese movies than they do from something produced in a Hollywood studio. As for Enterprise, I have to get over Scott Bakula being the Captain of the Enterprise and not from Quantum Leap and  predating William Shatner (supposedly) as Kirk. Hard to wrap my brain around the hokey from the original coming after the cool of Enterprise. Seems more like a step through a worm hole or something. So, Chris, Andrea and I are watching through the series...we figure it will take us...
