And Monkeys with Pitchforks!
Okay, lets do this right first off.
List your current six favourite songs, then pick six other people that have to do the same.
1) The Touch - Stan Bush
2) The Very Model (Of A Modern Major General) - Gilbert and Sullivan
3) The Broken Road - Rascall Flatts
4) My List - Toby Keith
5) Live Like You Were Dying - Keith Urban
6) God Gave Rock and Roll To You - KISS
And then now I'll tag Kim, Akino, Ryan, Jon and Rocker. Probably for the umpteenth time.
This has been a very good few weeks for the showing of Kim Possible on Family Channel, Canada's version of Disney Channel with the small exception that they actually show R-Rated movies on their programming blocks. At the very least, they're cleaner than the majority of R-Rated stuff this century. Between the hilarious Ron-Goes-Evil-And-Blue episode, Bonding, the Joss episode, the Moodulator episode, topping it off with two silly episodes that haven't been aired on Disney Channel, Rappin Drakken and And The Mole Rat Will Be CGI this week ALONE, it has been some massive Booyah coming my way.
Kim Possible actually has helped the design of DCD's familial structures. Between saving the world, Kim and Ron actually have to worry about family, friends, school and everything in between. It's what keeps the series fresh, new and not dragged down with tremendous angst.
Comparing it to another of my favorite series, Teen Titans, Kim and Ron are just who they are. There's an indefinite line between Hero and Normal, and even with Ron's case, it blurs. But the big thing is that they're not heros ALL the time. They're allowed rest and respite. They get colds like everyone else. And they have no masks to hide behind, to protect people from the shadows or like some type of massive superhero to save the day. Robin, Raven, Cyborg... that's who they ARE. They're in costume, in charecter 24/7 with a little slip here and there to show that they are in fact, teenagers. But Kim and Ron have the luxury, well, more like the ability to act like real people without decending itself into a complete twisted varient of themselves.
I suppose that's why I got into the series in the first place. To get away from Diaries. Not that Diaries and Digimon isn't cool, but everyone is so reserved, so quiet. No one has a childhood anymore and kids have blood on their hands or a bun in the oven. I'm sorry, but I'm wacky. And I need to know that there are heros out there that can act like normal people their age, or in Ron's case, less than his age.
It really all depends. I'm not going to quit Diaries by any long shot, but it feels like the whole nature of the world drags me down at times. Aw well, we'll cross that bridge when it comes to it.
