When you’re outnumbered like that, you don’t always control the remote — you learn to share it. You learn to watch what they want to watch. And sometimes, without realizing it, those shows end up shaping you too. The Baby-Sitters Club was one of those shows. Before I knew the characters. Before I understood the stories.

Premiering in 1987, DuckTales didn’t just entertain kids after school. It invited them into a world of adventure, curiosity, history, danger, humor, and heart—and it trusted its audience to keep up. That trust is why it still matters.

A film that dared to be both scary and silly, heartfelt and horrifying, funny and fearless — The Monster Squad took the classic Universal Monsters we grew up fearing and gave them to a new generation of believers. Written by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys) and Fred Dekker (Night of the Creeps), and directed by Dekker himself, this wasn’t just a horror movie. It was a cinematic love letter to the monster movies of the 1930s and 1940s — to kids who loved them.

What some people forget is that Mork didn’t even start on Mork & Mindy. He first showed up on an episode of Happy Days in 1978 called My Favorite Orkan. It was supposed to be just a silly one-off episode — an alien trying to take Richie Cunningham back to Ork and Fonzie fighting him off. But then Robin Williams walked in and turned that simple idea into something magical. The audience went crazy for him. ABC knew they had something special, so they gave him his own show.
