Can I Just Say...

...that the Disney cartoon The Replacements totally ROCKS?


...and that I never thought I'd actually say that about a Disney cartoon?? O_o...

Ooh, yeah! I forgot that was Disney...I probably should reword that to "I rarely say that about a Disney cartoon"... ;)

Although, I admit, I was a fan of Kim Possible there for awhile too... ;)

I hadn't seen or heard about it, so although I knew it couldn't be the case, I imagined a cartoon version of these guys:



"Oh No! They're late to the gig and they're all DRUNK! Again! What'll we do this week?"

FTW!!

To be honest, that was my first thought too... :p

Gotta say, I just youtubed around for ANY 'Placemats, and damn - there's a bunch of 'em from this 1981 showcase, with GREAT sound and great early songs, and good performances. I'm having a ball here. I'm going to have to post about this later.

Tommy said sooo...Tommy said sooooo... Tommy said so, so, so, SO WHAT!!!!?

ROCK.

Uh yeah, me either. What gives? What do you like specifically?

I think, like other cartoons I like, it's well-written. There are a lot of subtle jokes that kids may find funny, but the adults will get and find hilarious...like the father's car being a pastiche of both KITT and the Mach 5, or the recent episode where the sister re-enacted the dance sequence of "Thriller". ;)
