On Being Fat...by Natalie Green

Still enjoying retro TV comedies on youtube....nearly forgot one of my (and most girls' my age) favorites:  The Facts of Life.  Yeah it overstayed its welcome by a few seasons, but, wow! when it was in its prime, it was funny x a billion!  All the actresses were awesome and hilarious in their own ways...Blair, Jo, Natalie & Tootie!  I ran across an awesome Natalie quote that still makes me laugh!

Now Natalie, you may remember, was the chubby girl, but for the most part, she had a good self image and a great sense of humor:

"Who wants to be a skinny pencil?  I'd rather be a happy magic marker!"

For the win! \o/

Retro TV Comedies

Been in the mood for lotsa lotsa retro TV lately.  Not sure why, as it makes me feel old, but, my goodness, they sure made some funny shit back then!  *Character oriented too, not just pretty people looking perfect and cloned with canned lauff tracks.   I'm not saying there ain't nothing good on nowadays, but if the young peeps think old TV was all shiney happy people...they might be surprised. 

I've been watching All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Alice, M*A*S*H, etc.  Damn. Good. Stuff.  Lauff Out Loud Funny, with great actors, theatrically trained actors (not airbrushed *stars*), and boundry pushing issues.

Awesome.   I've been loving the comments some young peeps have left for these shows on youtube too...I mean the ones who've never seen these shows until now and can see, even today, the brillance of many of them.   Makes me a proud old lady...  LOL
