I liked that movie as a kid

We watch the movie with the kiddos, good throw back

One thing I noted about "generation gaps" is that we grew up with reruns. Little Rascals, Three Stooges, The Honeymooners, Ozzie and Harriet, Topper, Father Knows Best, Donna Reed, Leave it to Beaver, all the black and white movies - as kids most of us didn't live through the era of crank up telephones and Sarah the switchboard operator, but we knew what they were. We had a view into the past, into our parent's early lives. I remember asking about things (for instance, the Little Rascals made a cake with Alum instead of flour) and my parents explaining to me what the joke was.

Sadly, the rerun age, although initially supported by cable TV, is almost completely gone now. Kids now wear t-shirts of rock and roll bands from forty years before they were born, but they have never seen a wringer from a washtub, or having to hand pump water into the house. Most of them have never seen a conventional telephone. We didn't wear Scott Joplin t-shirts, but we had a decent idea of how our parents grew up.
