'Game of Thrones' Thoughts
Well, the title says it all. Another rant or rave about GOT S8, right? Wrong. Well, partially right. Since it has been about a month since the final episode aired I've had time to reflect on the series as a whole. Was the show good, bad, or ugly? In truth, it is all three. The first couple of episodes of season one were so damn dry, but it wasn't their fault. They had to establish a lot in those episodes to avoid it later. Everybody's got to start somewhere. Yes, having read the books does give an advantage for the first four seasons, and parts of season five. You know what's going to happen, you can tell which characters are spliced together, and you have faith in how it's being portrayed. Most importantly, you can sit there smug while your non-book reader friends watch the Red and Purple Weddings. Gets me every time, I swear. We had a good thing going for everyone.

My Top 4 Favorite Kidvid Cartoon Companies (In No Particular Order)
I was born in 1959, so I grew up with the Saturday Morning Kidvid Phenomenon. It was a time when there were only three major networks (ABC, CBS and NBC, if you must know), and while there were shows in syndication back when I was a kid, the good ones were on during the weekends. There were several kidvid companies competing for our shortening attention spans, but for me, four of them stood out. Here they are.

What 'Rugrats' Taught 90s Kids About Changing Gender Roles. Top Story - June 2019.
Children of the '90s were born into a time when the world was just beginning to settle into the big changes that had happened in previous decades. It was a time where it was becoming more common for women to return to the workforce soon after having children. To be a Tomboy was slightly more accepted, though still thought strange by older generations. 'Boy' things were still said to be meant for boys, and 'girl' things meant for girls.

Happy Endings at the End of the Rainbow
Recently I have noticed a trend in gay Hollywood that I find disturbing: The near total absence of happy LGBT couples. Over the years we have fought, argued, and died to come to a greater understanding of love. We have come far, from the early days of hushed whispers, and "Don’t ask, don’t tell." We have, in some places, found a balance between what we cannot understand, and what is in our hearts. In some countries, you can now marry who you love of any gender. In some places you can even seek to discover who you are as a person, and which gender your soul is.

Why Do I Love 'American Ninja Warrior' So Much?
I don't know when I started watching American Ninja Warriors, but I've been keeping up with this program for quite some time. In fact, it's been so long that some of the contestants that I watch on the show have become somewhat celebrities to me. I know them by names now and they all feel like some sort of TV family now.
