  • Hitoride Dekirumon (ひとりでできるもん!)

    Hitoride Dekirumon! is another NHK show for children I happen to see on my archived videos. It ran through 1991 to 2006 (quite the long run compared to Occidental children programming). Not entirely sure what the name means, Google Translate shows it as One Possible!, but I’m more inclined to say that (more…)

  • Eigo de Asobo (えいごであそぼ)

    Eigo de Asobo (in its original 1990 title display 英語であそぼ, or in hiragana えいごであそぼ), meaning… I think, Play in English or Let’s Play in English. Well, I actually didn’t know what the heck ASOBO meant, lol… but I looked it up. (answer here, if you’re interested in use and phrases), is another NHK show I remember catching a glimpse of. I actually went through my video archive on VCR tapes, and I had recorded some of the show during its 1998-2001 period.

    According to Japanese Wikipedia, the show began in 1990 and went through several changes (as apparently many Japanese kids shows do), (more…)

  • Okaasan to Issho – (おかあさんといっしょ)

    When my family first got cable, I remember watching NHK. Now, as a person who doesn’t speak Japanese at all, and being a Japanese wannabe… the only programs I could actually follow sans subtitles were kid shows. One of them is the long-lasting Okaasan to Issho, which apparently began showing on October 5h, 1959. I think the first time I saw the show was in 1999… or I could be wrong and be 1998. Anyway, if you don’t know about it… it’s like hmm, Menudo meets Sesame Street, but for really really small kids. I’m guessing 2-3 years old. The show has been inventing and re-inventing itself throughout the years. Changing life-size-puppets, and hosts in their many years. (more…)

  • When You Think ‘Child Actor’ – Who Do You Think Of?

    I was watching a re-run of How to Eat Fried Worms, and noticed a couple of known kid faces. Like Hallie Kate Eisenberg (most known as the Pepsi girl… or from the movie Paulie, LOL) – Alexander Gould from Weeds… well, I know him from there anyway. And… Ryan Malgarini who I know from The Hot Chick (he played the little brother, ha!). Anyway, it got me thinking that I couldn’t really think of any boy actor who wows me at the moment. I mean, when you think of child actors nowadays, you can immediately name Abigail Breslin (aka. Little Miss Sunshine)… or Dakota Fanning. In my case, I would also mention Jodelle Ferland of course~~

  • My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part V

    I cannot utterly believe WHY I’m posting this, but… while rummaging through my dusty albums, I discovered the first album I ever EVER bought, back when I was 10? This is WHY we love the early to mid-90’s because the 90’s were tacky… if the 80’s were tacky in American and the rest of the world, we certainly caught up in the 90’s, people.

    For past reasons of why they ruled, check the following links:

    Part I
    Part II
    Part III (Disney Edition)
    Part IV (Ruth rules Edition)

    Forget about leg-warmers, puffy hair and big glasses… though Beals and Matlin certainly blossomed. *tsk tsk* – My 90’s were tacky… flamboyant primary-colored suited boy bands waving and wooshing their flamboyant fans while singing Locomia, LOL’ Or velveted rancheras singing Querida… originally performed by my Latin version of Elton John, with Juan Gabriel. LOL’ But back to the album I found people… (more…)

  • Tom Scavo – Doug Savant – LUV!

    Doug SavantEver since I began watching Desperate Housewives, I always LOVED Tom Scavo. He was the best of the husbands on the show, and I dreaded the idea that Tom might have been having an affair… he wasn’t having one, after all. But due to his silliness… he got himself a new daughter. Seriously, is Tom Scavo a sperminator?? LOL’

    Anyway, I think Doug Savant is the hotness. Look at him in this photo that I stole from E! Online, ha! – It’s something I had to do, there aren’t many photos of him around…

    Now, if you take a look at his CV, you’ll noticed he’s been in many projects! A few days ago, they were showing Godzilla, and I noticed him! He’s been a soldier/policeman/enforcer of the law many-a-time! As he was a captain in Firefly.

    Who can forget Tom and Lynette’s fooling around, and Tom’s line of “Let’s risk it!” and Lynette punching him for even suggesting, LOL’. And instant LUV when he was wearing the leopard underwear. x’D
