I am soooooo fucking elated right now. Ok, so back in law school, drinking conversations would ofter turn to TV shows, as drinking conversations are oft to do. Sometimes, naturally, these conversations would be about shows we watched as kids. I would always talk about one of my favorite shows, and the explanation would go something like this:
So I used to get up wicked early on Saturday mornings to watch this show that was on either before or after "Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse," another awesome show (which had a fucking frog who talked like Edward G. Robinson!). Anyway, there was this kid on Earth and this chick living in space, on a space station or something. And they would talk to each other through their TVs. And there were puppets. And they would watch old "Laurel and Hardy" clips together. And I kinda had a crush on the chick.
