When I watch television, it tends to be cartoons. I noticed the other day - did you know they're bringing back Strawberry Shortcake dolls? (But this time they're all wearing jeans and stuff like that - I guess they have to be "cool" now). And apparently Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back.

Is this a wave of 80s nostalgia, or are they trying to win the dollars of the people (who are now parents) who played with those toys as a kid? (OK, I admit it: I had a Strawberry Shortcake doll even though by then I was a bit old for dolls like that).

I'm waiting for the Smurfs to come back. The Smurfs were my favorites.
And if you go here, you can get your very own Smurf name.
Mine is Jurassic Smurf. Interesting. Does that mean I'm a fossil Smurf, or a paleontologist Smurf?
