| 6954 | Nostalgiamatic Podcast - Episode #25: Let It Snow | :lol: TDITH!<div><br></div><div>I would say the most memorable things about winter growing up were the various "tunnels" that we would make through the snow. We had four or five very large (like 10 feet tall and almost that big around) bushes with long branches sitting in the front of our house. When the snow was on, the branches would get loaded down and slump over against the house, creating a series of tunnels. We would brush out the excess snow, and in very short order we had an awesome snow hideout.</div><div><br></div><div>The hill in front of our house provided a great place to sled down. However, you had to be careful of the barbed wire fence at the bottom. If you didn't get stopped in time, you might find yourself visiting the clinic for a tetanus shot. </div> | Vaporman87 | Mar 03, 2014 | |
| 6953 | TV programs that surprised you | I caught just about all of Lost. To be honest, I think I was a little disappointed by the end of it, but I think some of that arose from the fact that there was still so much they could have done with the series to flesh out what was really going down. I feel the same way about Heroes, but they're bringing that series back, so we'll see what happens there. | Vaporman87 | Mar 03, 2014 | |

| 6951 | Nostalgiamatic Podcast - Episode #25: Let It Snow | When I was a kid I used to live in a town with a lot of hills the best hill was at a school. I had one of those plastic sleds the long ones. One day I was sledding with my family and I was sledding down I felt a bump and I didn't look around me when sledding so when I got down to the hill I got up turns out I ran over a kid. Soon enough I was rushed to get in the car by my mom and drove off before the kid's parents found out I ran their kid over. | ThatDudeintheHoodie | Mar 03, 2014 | |

| 6949 | TV programs that surprised you | There are worse songs you could have stuck in your head. <br><br>I'm gonna check out that Zig and Sharko and the Barbie show. <br><br>I like The Office. Absolutely zero interest in Lost or Arthur. Maybe those would surprise me. Not gonna find out <img src="http://www.retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavTongue.gif"> | shakin steak | Mar 03, 2014 | |

| 6947 | TV programs that surprised you | I can't think of any that are really surprised me. I don't have kids to get me interested in anything against my instincts, and I'm fairly openminded to begin with. But there are some shows I like that maybe my demographic isn't supposed to.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Mighty B!</span> is about a dorky nine year old girl scout with a big imagination.<br> <img src="http://i.imgur.com/mbFHkl2.jpg" height="270" width="360"><br><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/AyZrYC6KmSA" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe> <br><br>The show was co-created by Amy Poehler, who also voices the main character. She says she wanted "a strong female character who didn't have too many rainbows and unicorns." I think it's great to have something that little girls can identify with, that doesn't force "girly", pink, submissiveness on them. Something to counter the genderization of the toy aisle. The cartoon was actually made with adult audience members in mind. It's frenetic and hyper, like Ren & Stimpy, or another show, one that actually did surprise me...<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spongebob Squarepants</span> is about a sponge who lives under the sea in a pineapple with his best friend Patrick Starfish and works in a diner or something. <br><img src="http://i.imgur.com/QPgTN1k.jpg" height="270" width="360"><br> <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CKJD563qHfI" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe><br> I've only been able to see one or two episodes since this isn't on Netflix, but I look forward to more. As I said, this is a fast-paced show that looks like it's for kids, but there is a lot of humor that works for adults too. When this show first came out, I ignored it. It looked annoying, too bright and loud. Little did I know therein lay the appeal. I started to come around about ten years ago, when I lived on a little street in a poor section of Philadelphia. One of my neighbors who took care of all the kids on the block was adamant about a Spongebob pillow she had. I was perplexed and she explained to me what a good show it is.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jem and the Holograms</span> is about a rock band whose secret identities are teenage girls who live in a shelter.<br><img src="http://i.imgur.com/X8ZdPAz.jpg" height="350" width="560"><br><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/m6G_o1MYECg" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe> <br>When I was a kid there was no reason for me to like this show. It was for girls, it was serious in tone, and it was about rock music (which I had no understanding of at the time.) As an adult, I like all of those things. And glam rock fashion, which is on exhibit here in spades. I first heard about this show from a female coworker my age who watched it when she was a kid. I didn't know anything about it, but when it showed up in my Netflix suggestions years later, I checked it out and enjoyed it.<br> | shakin steak | Mar 03, 2014 | |
