R.I.P. Estelle Getty
A bit late in posting this, but the sad news came out yesterday that Estelle Getty passed away.
Best known for her role as Sophia in The Golden Girls, Ms. Getty was 84.
The Golden Girls was one of the favorite shows of my sister's and mine growing up. Heck, last I checked, my sister was working towards completing her Golden Girls DVD collection. When I watch the re-runs of the show these days, I am amazed at the level of "adult" writing that show had - a level that was probably over the heads of Gin's and myself at certain points back then. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the show tremendously and I am sad to see Ms. Getty leave us.

I Miss The Tick Cartoon....
The Tick cartoon every Saturday morning was a ritual for me.
Some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen was from that cartoon. Here's an old highlight from the show. My favorite line: "Egad! I hope not! That's where I keep all my stuff!"
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Trailer: The Alvin And The Chipmunks Movie
So I wish I knew what to think about this.
Loved the show growing up. I remember watching it with my cousin Lorenz and our friend Mic-Mic and we'd sing along to the opening theme (Doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo, doo, doo-doo-doo-doo). And of course, as is always the case when we watched a show, we'd take one character and make it our own. Lorenz was Alvin, I was Simon and Mic was Theodore. Fun memories...
Now they have the movie coming up, with Jason Lee as Dave. I saw this trailer right before The Simpsons and I had fairly mixed feelings about it; I did not mind what I saw till the end when they had to resort to gross out humor. C'mon, that's not The Chipmunks way! Check it out for yourself:
I'd rather remember Alvin and the Chipmunks this way:
But oh well. I guess these are Chipmunks for a new generation...
