Take off eh? Bob and Doug McKenzie to return in cartoon form

Posted by ChuckyG, April 29, 2008
Fans of the movie Strange Brew and SCTV will be happy to hear the duo have reunited and are going to be animated for an upcoming cartoon version of their characters. Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis are going to be doing the voices as well, no lame imitations!

The Bob and Doug characters launched as a two-minute skit on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp's sketch-comedy series SCTV in 1980, in part to mock federal government rules that require the public broadcaster to air identifiably "Canadian content" in its homegrown TV shows.

I once told my son that in order to improve his grades, he would need to spend less time watching television. He looked at me with the same look a beagle gives his master when he didn't understand a command (tilted head and all). "What's television??" "TV, son. TV!"

Barbie Camping Van
It was more like a motorhome with beds and a kitchen...etc. I remember I got one for Christmas when I was 9. I also got about 5 barbies that year. They were all set up around the van just waiting to go camping. I wish I had pictures...I can remember it so well.

I'm 28 and I teach at a junior high. The fact that these kids were born between 1995 and 1997 makes me feel old. To make it worse one day I found an old floppy disk in a storage area. I showed the kids and you would have thought I had some historical artifact. Another day, some of my male students wore pink and asked why I didn't. I told them I wore it in the 80s and didn't want to wear it again. They could not believe I was alive in the 80s. Talk about making me feel geriatric!
