Good Morning 80s Kiddos!
  I am sorry for not making this blog more exciting. I have tons of TV things to chat about.  I won't be silent so long anymore. Thank you for accepting my apology.
   Whenever I am not writing something huge, I will be posting a new feature. THEME SONG OF THE DAY!!!! YAY!!!!   Everyday, you will see a new video of a TV Theme song. You may know it, and you may say  "What in the world is that?" But it's all good. You'll get some knowledge along the way.
   Today's Theme Song is one you all should know and love. Let's do some dancing and singing along with Alvin & The Chipmunks!  *applause applause*

 


  I loved this cartoon! My sister and I loved the way they talked and sang. They were our friends. I love the fact that they used current music (current as in, the 80s ha ha). They all had different personalities. And let's be real, being a girl, I loved the Chippettes. My favorite Chipmunk is Simon (he had glasses and when I was little, so did I). I love them all, though. I also loved Janette :-) for the same reason I loved Simon. But I loved how Alvin and Brittney were competing all the time, and Theodore was so adorable and sweet. I love when him and Elenore would cook together.  I loved  the voice of Dave. I love the way he would exclaim, "My boys!" Hilarious. I also loved the sweet and bumbling Ms. Miller, who took care of the Chippettes.
   I have a few favorite Chipmunk episodes.There are probably more but these stick out.
 1. The one where they tell you how Dave got the Chipmunks ( which features my favorite song "Witchdoctor." I love how they jazz it up in the 2007 movie, which if you love Chipmunks you GOTTA see it. I loved it and wasn't sure i would. It's now a Christmas Favorite".  You can check it out here on Amazon.com  Alvin & the Chipmunks the Movie (2007)
 2. The one where Alvin and Dave switch places, so that Alvin can learn responsibility. So funny!
3. The one where they meet Michael Jackson (I'd pick this higher, except he wasn't even on there but they drew his clothes and glove! ha ha).
4. "Dreamlighting" Where they parody "Moonlighting" and did it so well. I actually found it on YouTube and had a fit!
5. The one where the Berlin Wall comes down. It really did air right after the wall fell. My sister and I didn't understand how they did it. It aired like the week after the wall came down. It was freaky and COOL! It's a historical event that I was able to remember.

 The Chipmunks are popular with boys and girls and adults. This cartoon was wonderful. If you have kids and don't know what to let them watch, I recommend checking out these other awesome  Alvin and the Chipmunk videos/DVDs  Chipmunks at Amazon.com
    I also would like to say that for me the TV theme song was Everything to a TV show.  If I missed the theme song, I was so mad. I had to be ready before the show started. There are so many shows I watched because I liked the theme song and got hooked in. One of the shows that hooked me in because of the song is called "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." I don't remember the show very much, but I know I watched it and loved the theme song. I will add it here because my Mom said as a toddler I would go around singing the song. I sang at an early age. Love it. I remember every theme song to every show I have ever watched. I really do. You shall soon see.


  I still tear up over this one.  Okay now you guys have 2 themes for today!  ( this is more 70s but i was still a kid)

  Enjoy the little TV Gems for today, boys and girls. Tomorrow I will be talking about Reading Rainbow, the importance of learning to read with your kids; and the importance of Childrens' Television and how its gone completely down hill. "No Child Left Behind" my foot!
  Okay pals, bring a friend to the 80s Mansion sometime. We have plenty of room and lots of cereal.  Shy Violet has to get back to Rainbow Land. So, I am gonna go with her to help make some coloring books!  See ya soon! And keep spreading the Rainbow Brite Love.
