But First These Messages: Don't Drink the Shampoo

But First these Messages 

    Commercials , oh poor fellows  people don't want to watch anymore  , and sometimes they can be more interesting than the show they are taking the place of. (Maybe you should change the channel?)   They can be disturbing, funny, sad, off putting, annoying, evil , happy, blah, lawyery, or confusing.  (Yes , off putting doesn't have to be annoying)   Joshuaonline , is trying out style of blog post, the ones about the things between the programs we talk about.   Let's get started.  

But First These Messages... 

      Do you like Beer?  Do you like Shampoo?  Do you have the urge to drink your shampoo?  This could be the start of  a commercial for medication. (Ask your doctor first) But nope ... we are taking about something from the 70's  Beer-Enriched shampoo. ( I think the person who thought of this , had beer at work , didn't want to get caught drinking so he poured into the Shampoo mix and made this up)

Here's our commercial:  (youtube, please don't pull the video, because it would make us look insane) 

   

                        
          I am worried that  the lady says "but don't drink it" when referring to the shampoo, yes it has beer in it  ,but it also has some soap in there, so it's going to taste bad , even more than just beer. (we went there)

Those are some awful scent ideas 

   This was made by Bristol-Myers Squibb , I guess beer has some hair cleaning qualities, they don't make it anymore... so maybe it didn't work out.

   Coming Up... that one thing you like might not like you  , but first these messages  

First watch the commercial (we'll wait.) 

    

            

                       


27 seconds later... unless you hit replay or looped it.
     
      This commercial , let's see hair  , it's long and the music ( it must be the 90's) .We see this long hair for awhile it's the star, but then there's the twist.


                    
   Ha Ha Ha you thought ... but no it's a dog ....  also it gets mean there. "Beautiful hair like this can never be yours"  then it reveals a dog that has better hair than you or us.

"Yeah , I look good, Woof" /youtube 

       Just be happy your dog will look good,  the commercial did a good job at least making you pay attention to it, you know for something your dog will just ruin in 10 minutes anyway. ( Dogs don't stay clean long ... it's the law of physics) 

     And that's it for Hearldson , the World Series will be back for the 8th inning , but first these messages... 

         

  The Big Bad  wolf has gone into sales (in his defense , hunting Grandmas doesn't put ... Grandmas on the table)

                  
   
  Wait , the Wolf asking a question about where you are going  is a silly question, what's he supposed to ask ?     When it's shampoo he takes a great interest.   Yes Shampoo brand Shampoo does suck , it doesn't even have beer in it.    The Big Bad Wolf has gone honest?

  

 Grandma's House ? What is she running a B&B and needs a sign to it, is she the only Grandma? 

Meanwhile ... 

Grandma looks angry , also what I am looking at? 

   The moral of  the story is... Wolves like well shampooed hair.  Also jingles are great. TV commercials don't make creative jingles much anymore ... they just use a pop song and modify it maybe.  

  Well anyway  that's our commercial break... now go buy some shampoo , and get some for the dog, maybe the cat (meeeeow,) nevermind.  

Now back to your program.   

If you liked this , tell us in comments,maybe we will do more.

The Lookback : Disney Channel Edition

The Lookback   Disney Channel 

         Well , this is interesting  ... we taking a lookback somewhere where it hasn't been before. (Can we say somewhere where?, that's got to be improper)  Now  in this look we are not going for the shows that are talked about most when people lookback at Disney Channel shows.  Example : Lizzie McGuire and That's So Raven (which we did a lookback on in 2013) ,   So Join us  as we go somewhere.

      Disney Channel now a-days is know for  making sitcoms , mostly targeted to tween girls ( sometimes twenty)  but in the early days of original shows , they tried their hats at many other genres of TV shows one such example is this one.

1. So Weird 
   I remember this show , loved it  "So Weird" was  a Disney Channel show that began in the January of 1999  about a teenage girl named Fiona Phillips (no relation to the British TV presenter, for our UK audience)  who toured with her rock star mom , played by Mackenzie Phillips. (Wait this sounds like a current Disney Channel show premise would be ) Where they went there was paranormal goings on . ( I retract my last statement) Since it was a paranormal show it was a dark show, (for Disney Channel, I mean show a kid today and tell them that this was from Disney Channel , they would call you crazy)   Fiona also had a brother named Jack , he was a non-believer of paranormal (has to be one )  We also had the bus driver , Ned Bell, his wife and the manager , Irene Bell, and their kids  Carey Bell (season 2 starter)  and brother  Clu Bell. (Get it Clu?)
   The First season had an arch of  Fiona looking to communicate with her passed away father, as she encountered different paranormal subjects , such as aliens.  Season 2 continued , some changes were made as Clu was reduced so they brought in the other brother , Carey.  We had a lot more fantastic creatures like Vampires (before they were done to death, then not done to death or something ) , we the audience find out that Fiona's father also investigated paranormal activity  . (we get 5 ¢ per each time we say paranormal , oh 5 more)  The season was  a much darker one than 1 was ( even more darker compared to say, "Dog with a Blog" )
 Season 3 , was the final one  they decided to lighten it up a bit , also a change in actress happened as well   Carla DeLiza , the actress playing Fiona decided to leave and was replaced with Alexz Johnson and her charcter was Annie.  Annie  had a season arch where she was followed a by a spirit panther.    The series ended after 65 episodes (Disney Channel rule at the time , also a major number here in our lookbacks )  it ended in 2001.


2. The Jersey
   Sports... meet Quantum Leap or something....
   Disney Channel  had a TV series called , "The Jersey" it began in 1999, the premise of the show is about 4 friends who find a magical football jersey (so the show doesn't take place in Jersey?) it would transport the wearer to the body of an athlete of any sport, Quantum Leap style.  The series ran on Disney Channel from 1999 until 2004, with our magical number of 65 episodes.  Though , it's final running was shoved to early mornings and slowed to 3 years after production of the series ended



3. Bug Juice (not a cooking show)
     Think about this carefully,  Disney Channel had a reality show , Bug Juice was that show.  It started on Disney Channel in 1998. It was a summer camp based  reality show  that for kids ages 9-12 (Or Disney's Channel audience).  Each of the seasons took place at a different camp.
 It was  a more basic reality show   where the viewer would follow the drama, the fun , and interesting things that happened at this camp. (Or the fun of going to camp , but watching other people do it instead)
   It  ran 3 seasons and  ended in 2004.  Does make you wonder if  Disney Channel had taken a different path and this show was more popular than the sitcoms they were making , that kids TV could have been all  reality TV.

                                       
            Well...It was tried again , also Cartoon Network and real don't go together

4.  In a Heartbeat
    Kind of rarity,  Disney Channel along with Family Channel in Canada  made a TV drama (yes a drama on Disney Channel)  . It follows teenagers  who work as part time EMT's as they have to balance school life and work life.  The kids on the show were also football player, cheerleader, another football player, and a troubled teen. ( Ummm sure )   It ran 20 episodes for 1 season in 2000-01.  It's another show that makes you wonder  that if it did well in  Disney's eyes , Disney Channel could be the TNT for kids.  ( Law and Order Jr. coming soon)
                       
                      The theme was also called in Heartbeat
5. Totally Hoops/ Totally Circus
    Another Reality show, this one was about  a group  of girls on the Lady Hoopers Basketball team. The series premiered in 2001. Much like "Bug Juice" it was basic reality show  (more real than say  Real Housewives).  It was a spin off of another DC original reality show "Totally Circus" , which we think is about kids in a circus camp for the summer. (Bug Juice , circus edition) . It ran from June-September 2000.


That's our lookback at Disney Channel, and we did it , so thanks tune in next time when we find out Disney  Channel's  "Suite Life of Zack and Cody" was a reality show. (Not true)

The Lookback: The Charlie Brown Lookback : Lucy must be Traded, Charlie Brown

The Peanuts 

    Take a whiff (coughs)  spring is in the air (coughs)  and that means baseball season is now going  and one thing the Peanuts does more  than anything else is Baseball .     So now that's our time to look back at  "Lucy Must be Traded Charlie Brown".
    This is another post 2000 special and it premiered in August of 2003 on ABC. Charlie Brown starts by being optimistic  for his team in baseball season (you know like most of the real Baseball teams) , and Linus and tells him that the team is in trouble .(you know like most of the real baseball teams)    Charlie's confidence dies because of Lucy and he feels that his team is not going to do well because of her.   It's a game day and C.B's team is going to Peppermint Patty's team to play against them and of course he loses.  (by forfeiting)   Then his team continues to lose games.

 ummm I think this is football / Copyright Peanuts 

  Charlie Brown ( probably from watching too much ESPN or sports network of your  choosing)  decides that he is going to do a trade for a player. He calls Peppermint Patty  if she would willing to trade, suggesting Lucy, P.P hangs up , the only player she wants is Snoopy.     So Charlie Brown calls her back and decides to take her up on the offer , trading 5 players to Snoopy.  He tells his team mates what happened and they of course get mad at him. (because he's Charlie Brown)  He decides after the pressure and his own guilt to pull the contract and rip it up. (In legal this is called ripping up a contract) When he was about to tell her ... she tells him that her 5 players would rather give up than play for him.    

        Peppermint Patty calls to Charlie Brown to trade Marcie for  Lucy.   Though Marcie wants to stand next to  Charlie Brown more than play baseball , that she hates, because of her fondness of  Charlie Brown. (see Charlie you are loved) 

    

Spring the season of Marcie /copyright Peanuts 

  And Lucy isn't turning out better for Peppermint Patty (see a fair trade)  Peppermint Patty calls Chuck again  and begs to call the whole deal off and they switch back.   And everything ends back to normal or whatever that means.   

  That's our lookback it's a fairly simple special and it's based off a long sequence in the strip in the 1960's .  Also is Charlie Brown just cursed in baseball . maybe he should try hockey?     

Tune in next time when we find the special where Snoopy  gets picked up by the  San Diego Padres.
