True story, that!

To be honest, I think that parents should have worried more about kids re-enacting scenes from the Dukes of Hazzard. We neighborhood kids built and jumped so many ramps while pretending our bikes were the General Lee, Uncle Jesse's truck, the squad car, or Daisy's Jeep. Yee haw.

I love the ones where they talk about the "etchings" in their apartments.

I wish I had a truck like Uncle Jesse's pickup. A new Challenger would get me in all sorts of trouble.

Congratulations!



RE: the old cartoons... Husband is a HUGE Looney Tunes fan. Has DVDs of the old ones. There was actually one point in 2020 where, briefly, general goings on in the news actually stressed me out enough to feel really oppressive and depressing and disturbing to me, like I just wasn't in a good place. Couldn't focus or function well. And I asked him one evening, when we usually would have watched one of our more current shows we like, "can we just watch some cartoons?" And just...I think I should put them on in the background when I'm having a bad day. Somewhere between my own childhood and my kids' young years, there is a feeling of "simpler times" nostalgia that can relax me some, with that.

But yeah, there are certainly some themes that don't fly in today's cultural environment there.

Has anyone else tried watching the new episodes they put out? I did, and I just don't like them. I feel like Looney Tunes hit a sweet spot somewhere and they just were not great before or since. I don't think that they need to be racy or racist to be good, it's something else. The meaningful looks, the dry snark of clever Bugs circa the 1980s or so as he outwitted Elmer and Sam and the orange Monster and all the rest. It was done in a way that just...worked.
