Balamory Strikes Back

Well, in a deja vu type way, I'm back on Balamory with DTY. She seems to find it every bit as entertaining as her older sister did at that age. Gosh, it feels good to be back - I've missed it. Straight in with one of the later episodes, where Balamory's (somewhat unlikely) Kurdish community gets an airing. I was rewarded for my viewing with the innuendo packed Edie song. "Come up and see me sometime, and I can show you it all." Genius.

Meanwhile over on the cartoon epsiode lists I've been continuing to relive my own childhood by adding two very different cartoons: Transformers and DangerMouse. Ahh, the memories.

Standing and Ducking

OK, so I'm a bit fuzzy about about the head today. DTY has become very proud of her new trick - standing up in her cot. The main problem is that she then doesn't know how to get back down again. Oops! Well there is always the simple solution of wailing until Mum or Dad appears to rescue you, so never mind. Having tormented us in this manner yesterday evening, the fun began again at an early hour. Lovely. Still, she is beautiful, so we forgive her.

My cartoon episode guide is becoming a bit of a mania at the moment. Yesterday I added Pokemon, today Count Duckula. The problem is, every time I add a list, I think of four more I'd like to add. Ho, hum.

Innuendo Afoot on CBeebies (Again)

Just before yesterday afternoon's episode of Green Balloon Club (watched this morning on good-old Sky Plus by DTE and I) the introduction scene featured Sid lying on the ground playing with his snake. It was the best innuendo piece on CBeebies since the last run of Something Special, with Justin lurking around in the woods/changing rooms/etc.

Top stuff!

More Cartoon News

I know my cartoon fixation is taking over this blog, but just to let you know further to yesterday's post - I've tidied up the menu at my cartoon episode guide. I've also added in The Flintstones and all it's various off-shoots like Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm. I've also get episode lists up for a couple of older Hanna Barbera shows: Loopy De Loop and Huckleberry Hound.

On the Subject of Telly Box

Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a big fan of animation. What you might not know about is my fledgling cartoon epsiodes guide section on the Bus Stop Toy Shop website. There's episode guides there for most Hanna-Barbera cartoons - my particular favourites. Anyway, at long last today I managed to get hold of episode guides for Scooby's All Star Laff-A-Lympics (would have been topical a month ago) and Josie and The Pussycats. Feel free to check them out. There's still a few I'm really on the hunt for. I'll keep you posted.
