Think I ate something bad last week, finally feeling good today.
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling good today.
Ahh the weekend, two days to crash.
One more day left and then I'm off for the weekend! Can.Not.Wait.
Do you have sega's Cockpit Afterburner Arcade Machine? I enjoyed playing it when I was a Kid waaayback then at the arcades.
Read some stuff on the old Zelda cartoon, from CBR:
the crew behind the Nintendo-based animated series opened up about why the dynamic between Link (Jonathan Potts) and Princess Zelda (Cyndy Preston) was portrayed the way it was. "It was a fun show to write for because of the tension between Link and the princess. We modeled it after Moonlighting," said writer Phil Harnage. "We tried to capture that, and I think we did. Maybe over the top a little bit, but that’s what we were shooting for. We could have come up with a lot more shows. That was the sad part, that we only got to do one season."
Harnage also discussed the decision to make Zelda an action hero in her own right, rather than the damsel in distress. "It was ahead of its time in some ways, but wasn't always. Zelda was a good role model for girls. She was confident and took charge. She did want what she wanted, but was also very responsible. And Link was irresponsible. He was out there conniving: 'How am I gonna get her to kiss me?' There's fun in that. That's where the Moonlighting model really worked.
Elsewhere in the article, story editor and writer Bob Forward explained the origins of Link's infamous catchphrase from the cartoon, "Well, excuse me, Princess," citing both Moonlighting and comedian Steve Martin as the inspiration. "I wrote a bible for my own purposes, something that just outlined who all the characters were and what they wanted," Forward said. "[DIC Executive] Robby London wanted to have some signature lines, and Moonlighting had just come out, or was very popular. Robby London came up with the idea of the line, 'Excuuuuse me, Princess,' which is inspired by the Moonlighting relationship and a snarky line from a Steve Martin routine."
