Time to brag!

Being an Air Force wife, I tend to check out shows/movies/books that pertain to the military way of life- especially that of the military family. One of my favorite movies is "We Were Soldiers" because of how it shows the perspectives of the family members left behind. I also love the Lifetime show, "Army Wives".
Anyway, this post is about me bragging so here it comes. Army Wives often films at the base where we're stationed!! Cool right?? I almost always know the day that they're shooting becuase I see tents set up in the BX and Commissary parking lots right at the front of the base. I always find a reason to wander around on those days, hoping to see a celebrity (so far, I've only ever seen crew members though). They also cast military members and families from our base in the roles of extras, so I'm hoping that one of these times we'll get lucky and see ourselves on tv!


Of course the hubby is dying to see Catherine Bell, who plays the role of Denise on the show. He's been in love with her since her days as Mac from "JAG". Who do I want to run into? That'd be Roxy's hot hubby, Trevor, thank you very much!

After reading this post by CakeWrecks, I decided to Google all the old tv shows I used to love as a child of the 80's. Here's my list. What are some of your faves?


Alf. This alien was so funny!
Fraggle Rock. Loved those things! And the Doozers...adorable!!
My Little Ponies. There's a funny story about me as a 5 year old in '87 and My Little Ponies. My mom was expecting my baby sister, but back in the day we didn't know if she was having a boy or a girl. My mom told me that if the baby was a girl, her name would be Megan. I got all excited, and told her that I really liked that name because the girl on My Little Ponies was named Megan. I then proceeded to tell my mom that if the baby was a boy, she needed to name him Sundance, because that was the name of Megan's horse on the show. Well, 22 years later and I still get picked on for this. Fortunately, a girl was born, and yes, her name is Megan.
Punky Brewster. Who didn't love her rad clothes?!
Rainbow Brite. I totally had the Rainbow Brite doll with the iridescent dress, and even the pretty white pony!!
Small Wonder. Ok seriously...what kid in the 80's (or today for that matter) didn't want a sibling that they could turn off?!
Snorks. In my opinion, WAY cooler than the smurfs. Way.
Square One. One word: Mathman.
Today's Special. In hindsight, it's totally creepy. But back then I loved the living mannequin and talking mouse!
Wuzzles. Technicolor animal hybrids...awe-SOME!!
Zoobilee Zoo. Lots of adults in leotards and tights acting like jungle animals. Fun for everyone!
