I have such vivid memories of sitting in front of our tiny 12 x 12" screen TV, out of breath from racing inside, muddy from a day's play, eating my graham crackers and cheese. Settling on our hard table bench as the theme song begins to one of the usual shows.
::sigh::
..We didn't have many stations on our little TV, but Mom would always lets us watch an hour of channel 10 every day, if we finished our school work and had been outside for some time. It was here, eating my graham crackers and cheese or yogurt, sipping my chocolate milk, that I created fond childhood movie memories. ♥ I just loved them all. I didn't even know they were educational--all I knew was that I dare not miss a minute of "Mr. Rogers," for fear he would leave for the "Neighborhood of Makebelieve" without me. I loved the "Zoom" theme song, and could sing along word for word. "Zabumafu" made me laugh, and I always thought that if I just cracked a hole in the television's glass screen, the little Lemur Monkey would come and hang on my head, too.
My other homes were...
• Barney and Friends
• Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
• Richard Scarry's Busytown
• Zoom
• Zabumafu
• Reading Rainbow
• Lawrence Welk Re-runs
♫ Good night, sleep tight,
And pleasent dreams to you ♫
♫ Here's a wish and a prayer
That every dream comes true ♫
♫ And now, till we meet again:
♫ "Nighty-night! Au'revior! Auf Weidersehen!" ♫
:: Ah. I miss the good old Saturday nights with Lawrence. ::
