Finally! I got this to work. Here's the Pete and Pete intro and lyrics. There's a dispute over the line, "Don't you talk back." Some people say it's supposed to be "Does your dog bite?" Listen and decide for yourself.
Hey Smilin' strange
You're lookin' happily deranged
Can you settle to shoot me?
Or have you picked your target yet?
Hey Sandy (ai ai ai ai)
Don't you talk back (ai ai ai)
Hey Sandy
[Lyrics from wikipedia]

Nick Rewind
I can't believe Nick Rewind is on hiatus! I hope it doesn't get cancelled! I just bought Season 1 of "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" today, and I'm trying to find "Clarissa Explains it All."
My computer is being obstinate and won't let me post the Pete & Pete intro. I'll try again tomorrow, but for now, here's a picture of it. Big Pete reminds me of Breck a little bit.

Yours, Mine, and Ours (1968)
Okay, this is the only thing I could find on the original "Yours, Mine, and Ours." There are enough clips of the 2005 remake on youtube.com to recreate the movie, but nothing on the original. I spent a few minutes mourning our close-minded generation, and then I moved on.

Freaky Friday 1976
This is the trailer for the original Freaky Friday from 1976. I'm on an old-movies-that-have-been-remade kick right now, so expect more trailers/clips of other old movies--whatever I can find.

Sabrina (the movie, not the TV show)
This is about the movie Sabrina from 1954, starring Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and William Holden. I'll try my best to explain it.
It's about this girl named Sabrina Fairchild, the daughter of the chauffeur of a really rich family. The family has 2 sons, one who lives for work, and the other who hasn't worked a day in his life. She has been in love with the slacker son all her life, but he thinks of her as a little kid. She goes to cooking school in Paris to try to get over him, which she thinks she does, and she comes home more grown-up and sophisticated.
David, the slacker son, doesn't recognize her and falls for her like she wished he would. This causes a problem for the business-man son, who has arranged a marriage for his brother, and has a business deal riding on his relationship with the bride's family. He tries to break them up, but ends up falling for Sabrina instead.
Here's a video clip of Sabrina getting home from Paris and David not recognizing her. Ignore the subtitles--it was the best clip I could find. The only other good one was Sabrina's attempted suicide, but it's long and kind of depressing.

One Saturday Morning
Okay, forget the cutesy introduction stuff, and let's cut to the chase. Ever heard of Disney's One Saturday Morning? Not really retro, but it fits better on here than my other blog. It's too reminiscent to warrant a spot on "Juliana Talks Incoherently."
For those out of the loop who need clarification, One Saturday Morning was a kid's television block that ran for 5 hours every Saturday morning (duh) on ABC.
These are some of the shows from One Saturday Morning: "Pepper Ann," "The Weekenders, "Teacher's Pet," "Recess," "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," Disney's version of "Doug," and others (those are just the ones I remember). I've added some pictures to distract you from the writing (because we all know I can write enough about nothing to start my own chrestomathy)--hehe.

Okay, so this TV block lasted from 1997 to 2002, where it was replaced with ABC Kids, which just plays reruns of shows from Disney Channel. That would mean that the quality of Saturday morning TV would be inversely related to how many coffee breaks the writers at Disney decide to take. We all know how they like their coffee breaks.
Of course One Saturday Morning was not a television phenomenon to shape a generation. The 1980's was supposedly the best decade in Saturday morning cartoons, but I wasn't alive for that. Mehe.
Here's the One Saturday Morning intro...now, this I don't remember. I do remember the cheeky way they said "One Saturday Morning" though. That in itself was enough to entice me for a while.
