Do you have kids? If you do, you probably have about the same reaction to half of the junk that\’s on television as I do.

I haven\’t had cable in almost six years. That should tell you something.

Television programming for kids used to be either humorous, educational or both. Now it is heavily dependent on special effects and good writing, well-defined characters and plot lines are part of a bygone era. Today\’s television programs for kids feature lead characters who I wouldn\’t want my kids associating with until they are college age, and even then I would hope they would use better judgment when selecting their friends.

This diatribe may mean that I am becoming an old fuddy-duddy, but I think not. Where are the really funny toons like Crusader Rabbit and George of the Jungle? The ones that made you laugh AND think? For that matter where are Steve Urkel, Gilligan and Dobey Gillis? The kids that were like us or people we knew well? It\’s really sad that programming for youngsters now is concerned with violence, sexual violence or reality shows featuring those who lack any creative thinking ability and are actually short on reality.

Guess What? Today\’s Hollywood Hits Aren\’t Much Better

It used to be a celebratory event to take the family to a movie. To commemorate a family member\’s birthday much poring over the entertainment section had to take place to decide on the perfect movie outing. The anticipation was great, not only for the movie itself but for the popcorn, candy and cokes that were so much a part of the celebration.

So when I step into the theatre and find out that I\’m dealing with a half-hearted script, lots of special effects and at least fifty one-liners I really don\’t want to have to explain to my kids, it\’s a pretty big deal.

What if we could rewind? Show our kids the same crazy classic films we cut our teeth on? In their vintage form, no less, not these half-hearted remakes floating around out there?

There are actually businesses out there that understand the wonder of the classic movies coming into the public domain and are offering them once again to an audience eager for excellence in entertainment. There was a time when those great classics were copyright protected making them too expensive for showing in movie houses or streamed to your TV set. This is no longer true and some of the best movies ever made are lurking in the public domain.

Now, film buffs and companies are using their rapidly growing net to skim the best (and yes, some of the worst) of these films off of the top and make them available through their website. In their original vintage form.

Imagine the Possibilities…

Imagine the possibilities presented by scooping these flicks up out of the public domain. The next time you want to have a movie night with your kids, you don\’t have to slog down to Blockbuster and take your pick out of the best of the worst. You can watch as classic stories that didn\’t have any special effects to save their bacon come alive in front of your eyes.

And, in doing so, you can rescue your kids from the misguided belief that what they see on TV is all that Hollywood has to offer and open their eyes to a whole new world.
