Phoebe: How do we get to where you life? Is it far? Marigold: It is never far. Our world and yours are like radio stations on close frequencies that often overlap. Phoebe: What's a radio station? Marigold: I am old.
Im real glad no one tried to fight Phoebe’s creativity. Also I feel old when I talk about Ghostbusters, He-Man, Thundercats, VHS tapes, VHS cameras, film camera, cassette tapes, Lazier disks, floppy disks,the C64,2nd phone lines, dial up,rabbit ears,The Wizard,Thriller,Dan Quale,Quale Man, ALF,Batman,Star Trek TNG…etc any time some one says they where 7 when they 1st saw Pokemon, or Kim Possible or plaid Wind Waker or saw Phantom Menace, any one 13 or younger, most 20 year olds, some 16 year olds, make me feel old. What is life if you never plaid Super Mario 3? or watched Star Wars or plaid with the gen 1 Transformers? Do you remember the very 1st TMNT? or a time when MLP wasn’t a phenomenon? When Dexter not Johny Test was the kid scientist on Cartoon Network? When CBS, NBC and ABC where the only networks that had cartoons and they were on Saturday mornings and week days right after school? coming home to week long 5 part episodes? Who among you can still sing the Duck Tales theme? or the Danger Mouse song? Some times I feel sad when a 10 year old plays Super Mario RPG and says “these graphics suck” or a 8 year old plays SMB wii and aims the controller at the screen rather then holding it sideways. Or when you say Batman and people think Dark Knight and not TAS or when some kid calls Ghostbusters “that show from the 90s” other times I smile when a 4 year old sees my ghostbusters shirt and calls it his favorite show or when they reboot Thundercats or Turtles and its DARN good! Yes we’re all sad to see YJ end its run on CN but why do none of the fans remember JLU? Why has no one seen Static? Why don’t more people miss Freakazoid? Why is G4’s Portal over shadowed by the game of the SAME NAME? Yes marigold I too feel old, though you are clearly older even then I.
