RAINBOWLAND MY ASS!
(I'm feeling very ETERNIAN!)
Yea, so my better half, Erica, decides ahe wants to write a blog about how she tortured me by making me watch Rainbow Brite.... RAINBOW FREAKING BRITE! claiming that it was the most awesome show yadda yadda yadda.
Please... Best show? If you like stuck up horses, maybe...
No, my friends. There is hands down one single kids' show that stands head and kneck above the others.... (well, Head, neck and powersword...)
That's right, boys and girls... I'm talking about none other than HE-Man and the Masters of the Universe!
Don't know what He-Man is? Check out the intro!

Is that not the coolest thing you've ever seen? MOTU was created back in 1983 as a multimedia project. The intent was to introduce children to the He-Man universe through toys, comics and a DAILY cartoon show. Until that point, no popular children's cartoon had been produced to be shown on a daily basis, but rather weekly on Saturday mornings.
So yea, not only was he-man a kick ass toy line and cartoon, but it was also a marketing masterpiece!
I also have to add here that the He-Man universe has left such an impression on people that they even have a brand new live-action Masters of the Universe movie in the works for 2010!
Can Rainbow Brite say that? THINK NOT!
