Toot

Someone just reminded me how good Over the Garden Wall was, and that I keep going back to it every fall as a kind of comfort food in video form.

I did not do this in 2024 for some reason.

Probably ought to have.

@MelMScow Why do you and your kin all have such good taste?

If you didn't see the anniversary short last year that I stole the image from:

@PatrickoftheG I could say the same of you, Patrick! (You never did tell me how you came to know 'The Young Ones'). I have not seen that short, though I know my kids have. I will be sure to check it out.

@MelMScow Why thank you.

When I was very young, my parents bought me a VHS box tape collection of Mr Bean and Blackadder. It was advertised in a preview on one of those tapes.

From there I think I caught it on Vermont PBS or TVO. I don't think I appreciated it, though, until a rewatch much later.

Not a glamorous story but true one.

@PatrickoftheG Ah, that's a logical transition. I'm unaccustomed to encountering anyone here who's ever heard of the series. Your parents did you a real solid there.
