This Sunday we stayed in bed all day and upheld our “Bad movie Sunday” ritual. This ritual general consists of finding a flick with Lou Diamond Philips in the cast list (lead role? EVEN BETTER!) and snack on Dorito’s or “Death by Chocolate” ice cream while occasionally napping. It really is the greatest thing ever. Well, this Sunday I got a wild hair to look up an old cartoon I used to love on Nickelodeon as a kid. Unfortunately, I could not find it, but I did find this:
{Apparently some suit somewhere didn’t like this video being viewed… I am currently searching for another copy. I will keep you all posted. Both of you}
After watching the dozens of intro’s captured in this amazing clip, I thought of dozens of other shows and movies that are a part of my nostalgic past. After having a good laugh and exhausting ourselves by jumping around the room screaming about how thrilled we were to rediscover our past, my wife and I considered just how much TV viewing that really was. And just in the 80′s! Remarkable. I was basically raised by Nickolodeon. Don’t get me wrong. Nick was a great dad. I just feel a little guilty that I got more excited about finding these clips than I have been since some time around Christmas of ’89.
Anywho, I plan on getting as many of these as I can get my digital hands on and I’ll post as much as bandwidth allows. Hope you enjoy.

You have got to find the movie where Lou Diamond Philips (LDP if you will) is a Sheriff’s Deputy or something, and his car breaks down on a road haunted by the ghosts of a chain gang. It is awesome.
I just Googled it – Route 666 – Its a must see
Yes, that looks amazing! That is just the caliber of film that makes a lazy Sunday special.
