Nostalgia? Overrated!

I mentioned in my last post that we would be watching the original Pink Panther cartoons. In case that sounded like a good idea to you, DON'T DO IT!!!

While Caleb loved the music and found them to be hysterically funny, I was disturbed for several reasons.

One: The Pink Panther smokes. The opening credits show a picture of him with a cigarette and he partakes in this particular vice in almost every cartoon.

Two: In every cartoon the little man eventually tries to solve the conflict by pulling out his shotgun.

Three: In every other episode, the little man gets drunk.

Not the wholesome family viewing I remembered. AND the DVD lasted 2 HOURS and 40 MINUTES! We eventually figured out that we'd better just turn it off and go to bed.

So much for nostalgia!
