YouTube, I tube...

It's coming up on my 25 Days of Christmas so I thought I would hurry up and write something that had nothing to do with Christmas movies. You'll be getting enough of that in a couple days.

Today we're talking about YouTube. Crazy, huh? I've recently fallen in love with YouTube all over again and it wasn't due to the video of the van getting taken out by the wrecking ball either. It because I have been able to reconnect with a few gems from my childhood that I thought we lost to the sands of time.

One lazy and gloomy day I was sitting in front of the computer with nothing to really do. I had checked all the emails accounts, updated the Facebook, peeped the daily news... and then I did something very random. I decided to look up a made for tv movie that I had seen when I was a child. It was a little movie called Mr. Boogedy and it was a made for tv movie that played during The Wonderful World of Disney sunday nights on ABC. I saw this thing when I was a kid and remember it being really good and the next year they had a sequel pop up on the same program.

I searched the flick and surprisingly found a link that sent me to YouTube. I was expecting a clip or something but it turned out the whole flick was on there in 10 minute sections. I was blown away. This led me to search out other flick from way back and I found a few others that I had been missing since the VHS tapes of my childhood went the way of the Dodo.

The last week or so I viewed a pilot episode for the never picked up Young MacGuyver. Starring Supernatural star Jared Padalecki it was the story of MacGuyver's nephew and his adventures being a secret agent following in the footsteps of his uncle. It wasn't that good but it was a treat to view.

A couple nights ago I watched a made for tv movie that I had seen as a kid called a Smokey Mountain Christmas. It starred Dolly Parton and Lee Majors and was pretty silly but it brought back some good memories of watching Christmas specials each year and looking forward to seeing what the networks were going to have for that year...

Which brings us right back to the 25 Days of Christmas and the first flick I'm going to be watching. It's a little movie called The Night We Saved Christmas and I'm going to be watching it in 10 minute sections on YouTube. Join me if you like but I warn you... it's pretty cheesy.

I'll be lighting a little candle for every day you watch a movie in hopes that you keep your sanity.
