The Simpsons Family History: Aye carumba this is awesome

The Simpsons Family History: A Celebration of Television’s Favorite Family is not what I expected but I am 100% OK with that.

Dad Spends a Night in the Mancave: The Protector 2 review

Pee-Wee’s Playhouse: the pinnacle of children’s live action programming

As summer turns to fall and the kids go back to school I’m thinking about the great things we did the past three months. During our summer vacation we spent some time with the family and a handful of 7-13 year olds. Because not every day was sunny, they had to watch television and it was at this time that I was reminded of how superior Pee-Wee’s Playhouse was to every children’s live action show ever made.

The amount of British programming that our children watch almost qualifies us for dual citizenship. The latest cannon to enter our fray is Peppa Pig. It’s huge in the UK as it’s been the number #1 pre-school property for the past four years and is utterly charming, for certain demographics.
