If nothing else, this is pretty interesting for anyone who has ever played a Zelda game (and enjoyed it).
Some friends had recommended I watch the recent South Park episode where Cartman freezes himself to avoid the painful anticipation of waiting for the release of the Nintendo Wii. They obviously know me enough to know that I could relate to this. I haven't really watched a South Park since they came out (some guy I used to sit across at work, ruined it for all of us early on) but the episode had its share of good lines and plots. But my favorite was the homages to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Man, I had completely forget how much I loved this show and how I watched it religiously.
It also reminds me of how much of a hottie Erin Gray was back them for the pre-teen to teen populous that watched the show. The clip shown here is ever burned in my brain since it features Wilma being all sexy-like. (How did they decide Wilma was going to be a sexy name in the 25th century, by the way?) But then in the next camera cut, we're presented with the most atrocious makeup job of a mysterious space vampire. Think if Nesfaratu and Bert of Sesame Street decided to have a baby. What an incredibly ridiculous episode.
So to cleanse the mental palette, I leave you with the opening to Buck
Rogers featuring that inspiring theme music. Believe it or not, I had
the motion picture soundtrack to Buck Rogers and there were lyrics that
went along with the music.
