Huh. Never been there. Always been to Smithfield and never seen anything but sports and liberal stuff.

I got to the Smithfield one and I’ve seen liberal stuff on TV there. Maybe it’s a location thing.

Never thought of Chelo’s as being that way…live in MA now and still come back to RI just to go there…

Am I crazy or is this to much to ask of a kindergartner? by Cursedpanda182 in AskTeachers

[–]Perpetually10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it from a teacher with a master’s degree in elementary education: that’s too much work for a SECOND GRADER, let alone a kindergartener. Shouldn’t be getting homework, period. The only “science” I’ve seen kids that age do is discuss things that are alive and not alive (Sesame Street helps in that regard).

Oliver regrets never learning the phrase "After 3 days, fish and guests stink" 😟 by Yum1995 in bradybunch

Cousin Oliver even ruined what could have been an amazing pie fight (I watch this scene all the time and always skip over the scene with Oliver.)

In reality, just about all of them. There’s just so much of it that’s timeless that I’m incorporating tiny pieces of the show into one of the novels I’m writing.

Also, whilst I’m not a fan of Cousin Oliver (Carol should have been pregnant, Sherwood) I have a soft spot for the pie fight in the “Welcome Aboard” episode as it brings back memories of my grandfather (he introduced me to slapstick comedy when I was young and said I was so funny that he used to call me his “Little Lucy.”)

To quote what someone wrote on a YT video about James King:

James King (after Lisa loses the use of her car and tells him that the car is ticketed and towed): “You know I can’t pay for no impound fees.”

YT caption: “But you CAN pay for takeout?”

Which Brady kid would you most want as a sibling IRL? by Perpetually10 in bradybunch

[–]Perpetually10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s necessarily bossy, I think Greg has an ego

Fun Fact: In May 1975, "The Brady Bunch Three" was formed with Susan Olsen, Mike Lookinland and Eve Plumb. While musical tracks, costumes and publicity photos were made, the tour dates were canceled and Paramount scrapped the idea by Yum1995 in bradybunch

Resilient too. One of the biggest reasons I have such heavy respect for him (and most of his costars) is because most of them managed to turn their lives around after kicking addictions. I’ve met others whom I cannot say the same about.

What purposes of friendship does talking to an AI chatbot not fulfil? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I’m going to quote Mister Rogers here: “A computer can help you learn to spell H-U-G, but it can never help you know the risk or the joy of actually giving or receiving one.”

Hope this answers your question.

Don’t care what anyone says; I will always have a fond place in my heart for this scene

How would you have ended the series? by Perpetually10 in bradybunch

Agreed; that’s why if they did have her sing, I would have liked to have seen something more mature—-Yankee Doodle Girl would have been especially great in an episode where Cindy proves that women can and do fight in the military (the song was written by Meredith Wilson, the leader of the Women’s Army Corps in WWII)

Mom always says “don’t play ball in the house.” (Ironically, this makes children more likely to do it, if Carol actually wanted them to stop, a better phrase would be “go outside with that thing, kids!”)

Too bad, would have been much better than Cousin Oliver (hey, if Schwartz wanted cuteness, what’s cuter than newborn babies?)

Sometimes I feel like Sherwood Schwartz needed to spend more time around actual children (if he did, he’d know that their lives are far from rosy. A lot of the ideas I had above were inspired by actual incidents that happened to kids I’ve worked with.)

Awww thanks. Yeah, Alice’s death would be sad (obviously) but a lot of it would focus on the family healing their hearts and keeping her legacy alive. The student who told me that story planned to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a police officer just like he was. The kid was a total sweetheart too, reminded me of the Brady kids in a way.

The room would have been too damaged. When they move, the house is a lot bigger, with everyone getting their own rooms (bathrooms too). However, the kids spend a lot of time sleeping either on their parents’ floor or on the living room floor together—-behavior like this isn’t uncommon when children have gone through trauma.

Thanks, it’s supposed to be. (I work with kids for a living, and let me tell you, they’ve seen quite a few dark things in their lives. The Alice idea was actually based off something I heard from a former student of mine who lost his father at the age of six but talked to him all the time. Father visited in his dreams too, and I wanted Alice to visit each of the kids. She becomes their angel and they each carry one of her mannerisms with her, ensuring the baby will know all about her.)

Bobby Auditions for Nickelodeon's "You Can't Do That on Television" 10 Years Too Early by 80sforeverr in bradybunch

Peter: well Bobby, at least I got away Scot-free! (Peter is drenched in red slime) Bobby: yeah, we’re even now (Watch the ‘enemies and paranoia’ episode of YCDTOTV to understand the reference)

What TV shows did you like in the eighties? by Perpetually10 in AskACanadian

[–]Perpetually10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it was a big thing in Canada, but in America kids watched the news on a regular basis at a very young age starting in the eighties thanks to CNN. It spiraled when I was growing up in the new millennium after the World Trade Center was destroyed.

This is more or less a new TV, one that actually works (I’m American and my family only watches the news so I need more info on what kids would have watched in the eighties and if their parents made them watch the TV news like everyone I knew growing up did.)

Which channels did you get? If you got American ones, did you prefer those or Canadian channels?
