The Raccoons (1985)
A Childhood Favorite
I am 25, and live very near Canada. I remember watching this show via a Canadian station probably twelve or thirteen years ago. I loved it. It was right up there with Ducktales, Gargoyles, Aladdin, Dinosaurs, Gummi Bears and Ren and Stimpy (when Ren and Stimpy first aired, I was too young to understand most of the adult humor it had, so my father and I both enjoyed the series, but for different reasons). These were true classics, unlike most of today's cartoons (although I must admit, I enjoy most episodes of Spongebob Squarepants). Hopefully I will soon be having a child of my own, and be able to introduce them into a world of television that includes I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Ducktales, The Raccoons, Ren and Stimpy, You Can't Do That on Television and Spongebob Squarepants.
Braindead (1992)
The Best Horror/ Comedy Movie of All Time
If you can get through the first 20 minutes or so, Peter Jackson's (Lord of the Rings) Dead-Alive is without a doubt the best Horror-Comedy of all time. I'll admit that the first time through I wasn't sure about the first 1/4 of the movie, but if you have seen the whole thing, I can't see how anyone could disagree that this is the best Horror/ Comedy movie of all time. It includes a "walking" anus/ intestines that begs for it's life, a protagonist that literally mows through a house filled with dozens and dozens of zombies (ending in a house with an inch of blood and gore on the floor), a twenty-foot tall zombie mother, zombie sex (that, of course, results in a zombie baby being walked through the park in a baby stroller lined with barbed wire by the protagonist), a ninja-priest, and a lawnmower (trust me, you'll love the lawnmower scene... and the baby... and the "living" intestines... and pretty much everything else). Like I tell everyone, if you can make it through the intentionally cheesy first 20 minutes or so (once the zombie mother squirts her pus into the custard, then soon after eats the dog), you will love it.
