bananas in pajamas


so i loved cartoons as a child. still do(yeah before you correct me you manga-holics, i really do mean cartoons and not animes, but i dont mind animes too). so, two days ago i had the misfortune to sit in the school cafeteria(had a meeting) and a local channel was on. being the attention deficit person that i am, my attention wandered. i analysed the people(funny story here btw for later), stared into the horizon wishing for prince charming (at this rate i'll take that frog) and just basically doing what i do best, zone out! so, my wandering eye(lol always wanted to use this) happened to land on the tv placed prominently at the front and cartoon network was on (yipee. yes im 5 and im loving it!). powerpuff girls had just ended and a 'brand' new show, which was being touted as a must watch was coming up. all eyes and ears(what meeting??) then i saw a banana, in a pajama with a monogram on the collar saying B1. ok weird. then 'B1' spoke to another banana, in a pajama(sounds like the beginning of a bad song. hope bieber is taking notes) called B2 (beam me up scotty!!!) seriously!! and guess what the show was called??? yep you got, bananas in pajamas(creative much???).

is this what the kids(im one too) are watching these days?? ok i'll give you anna banana(which btw wsa kinda cool. she had a doppelganger) but our cartoons were AWESOME!!!! transformers, gargoyles, beast wars, dexters lab, captain planet, scooby doo, jetsons, flintstones, skydancers, voltron, saber rider just to name a few. we used to sneak from church to watch cartoons(one day my mum found out and i couldnt sit for a week but it was so worth it). bottom line, i dont see anyone sneaking from church and risking a beating for bananas in pajamas. i dont get why all these creative souls are sitting there doing nothing. do something. save the cartoons for our children.
