DUCK TALES


Congratulations, you're going to be humming this to yourself for the next week.

I'm probably not going to watch, both because it's a bit outside of my age bracket and because I don't get Disney XD, but that voice cast looks fantastic enough to at least track down the first episode.  Honestly, I'd do it for David Tennant's Scottish accent alone - Broadchurch excepted, it's something of a rare sighting, and I look forward to Scrooge McDuck being near-incomprehensible.  My only complaint is that this video calls this the "Original" theme - implying there might be some kind of new version, which is simply unacceptable.  You can change a lot of things, Disney, but wouldn't dare replace a piece of music this catchy.

Stay Positive Sunday: Holding Hands and Going Steady


We're gonna start the year off with a positive jam.

I mean, not exactly.  I just couldn't resist that line.  The truth is there's a lot of positivity out there about 2017 - or rather there's relentless negativity about the year that 2016 was, and a desperate belief that 2017 can't get any worse.  Mind you, anyone who's seen a sitcom can tell you the phrase "this can't get any worse" is a sure sign everything's about to.
