Proud dad moment yesterday for me. I came downstairs from reading, and my younger daughter was sitting on the couch watching Star Wars (the original). I asked her why, and she said it was about time she got around to checking it out. We’re going to watch the rest of the initial trilogy this week.
In the afternoon, she sat down with me and watched the first two episodes of Firefly. Said she liked it and would keep going with it, but only if I watch it with her. The plan for tomorrow night is to finish rewatching Hawkeye, then all of us, at both of my daughters’ request, are going to watch my favorite Christmas movie of all time, that being Die Hard. My daughters are awesome. #GirlDad4Life Whatta ya mean, "initial trilogy?" There were only three films. ACHTCHCHCHCHCHCHCH....................... THERE WERE ONLY 3 FILMS!

I'd like to recommend Grant Goggans' blog Fire Breathing Dimetrodon Time. He spent several years watching many assorted classic TV shows with his young son and blogging about it. Very well-written and entertaining. You haven't said how old your daughters are, but this may offer some ideas.

Just looking through the lost of shows on the right hand side, there are a ton I've never heard of so I might have a look at some of those.

So I ordered myself some stuff on Amazon in the twilight hours of Christmas (some comics and a game that I'd been wanting since I was 14/15)
Well, got an email today saying that the order for the game was cancelled. Apparently the seller said that it was no longer in stock. While I'm happy that they refunded me, it's still fairly dumb to me that they'd list something that they didn't have
On the plus side, found another listing in better condition for the samr price and went ahead and ordered it with the refund

Some of these sellers list the same products via other channels and don't keep track of where they have it listed, after they sell it through one. It's usually a sign of an amateur who doesn't keep a running inventory of their product for sale (and I include poor small business persons as amateurs).

I used to love playing that game. The Smackdown Six era was some fun wrestling.
