my double dare plan of action
| written by jenni on 11/19/07 | leave a comment |
as a kid, i spent hours plotting my plan for what i would do if i ever got on double dare and made it to the obstacle course. that plan consisted solely of me planning to go head first down the twisty slide and into the ice cream sundae at the bottom. not because it would shave seconds off my time, but because i wanted to eat the ice cream. screw the toys ‘r us gift certificates, i just really, really like ice cream.

where did contestants disappear to on mtv’s “remote control?”
| written by jenni on 10/25/07 | leave a comment |
i used to have an odd fascination with the old 80s mtv game show remote control. i really, really, wanted to know where the contestents went when they were ousted from the show. was it really as horrific as they made it out to be? was it actually the gateway to narnia? the possibilities were endless!
of course, now i know the truth is far less mysterious and probably involved a greenroom that stunk of week-old beer and some half-ass craft service table.

halloween: the sitcom
| written by jenni on 10/23/07 | 2 comments |
it’s amazing what a difference some upbeat music and a laugh track makes. it changes “your homicidal brother is in town to kill you” to “some kids just stole some stuff from a hardware store”.

remember when a hot saturday meant spending an evening with a bright orange couch? the couch didn’t care what you wore, or made you endure hours of meaningless conversasation. you just had to sit back and let it do all the work…

“roundhouse”: promoting sneakiness
| written by jenni on 10/16/07 | 5 comments |
i never realized until recently how creepy the opening to the old 1994 nickelodeon show “roundhouse” was. i mean, check out the looks on those kids faces…they are obviously up to no good. and i use the term “kids” loosely since more of the cast was in their mid to late 20s/early 30s. not to mention the fact that most of their “set” was made out of cardboard and they had a dad that just drove around on a motorized lazy-boy.
no wonder this show didn’t survive for long.
