A sleepless night let me discover a treasure from my misspent, misguided youth.

While surfing around the cable at about 2 AM, trying to find SOMEthing interesting to watch, I tripped into Cartoon Network and their "grown-up" cartoons--of sort--the "adult swim", and found a gem from my past. There in front of me was.... Astro Boy.

And in glorious b/w!!!! :o

One of my all time favs--and yeah I know there are collections of his episodes out there on dvd and there's a mangazine/anime comic series. But, to actually find him again on TV!! And, to realize that someone had the idea to put him back on the air!! :o

Wow!....and the brain deadest thing of all is that I WAS SINGING THE THEME RIGHT ALONG as if it was frigging 1962 again!!! :o :lol:

It was great to have a visit from an old friend, no matter how dated he was.

Sometimes life DOES have its perks. :D ;)
