Many of those following my page, or who have visited frequently, have seen in the last 2 years I have posted a number of banners involving various Saturday morning TV shows. These banners, changed out every week, are meant to adorn not only my personal Facebook page, but my Facebook group Saturday Mornings Forever where I try to get people reminiscing about a formerly magical day when all we had to worry about was what cereal to eat while watching TV.
A year after starting my Facebook group, I decided to try and turn the concept into a book. Sure, there have been books that chronicle every TV show ever made, or every cartoon ever made, or even tried to pretend they were about Saturday morning television while actually being a sermon on the decline of quality on TV, but, as far as I've seen, never really been a book DEDICATED strictly to Saturday morning programming.
But, here I am, plugging away at these entries for a good year and making very slow progress. See, I love special features. I love the background of things. So, my entries are not only about the show, but as much information BEHIND the show as I can find. So, there's a lot of research involved. And then I love episode guides, so finding ones I can cultivate from as well as accurate airdates is also a bit more research. As such, I tried to speed up the process by working with shows with low episode counts. As progress gets made, I get antsy about showing off what I've done to the world. After much deliberation and some advice, I found a solution to that:
A blog.
That's right, to build up interest in my eventual book as well as get some immediate feedback on what I've been doing, I've started an official SMF blog. Updated regularly every Saturday, I discuss the TV shows and anything else I can think of related to Saturday morning. So, if you're a Saturday morning lover as well (especially if you've been liking my various banners), head on over and check out my blog. And feel free to submit any feedback...all is welcome!

GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE REVIEW
Finally saw GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE. Overall, I liked it. It was a fun, nostalgia-packed romp. It was different from the other two films, but it stood on its own. The character work was the best part. The new family in it barely did anything in the start of the movie and I already liked them. THIS is the approach a sequel after all this time should take: introducing the next generation without dismissing or overwriting the old. But, I do have some nits to pick. I'll leave specifics to stuff that was seen in the trailer. As good as the new characters were, that was limited mostly to the family and Podcast. The worst thing you can do to a character is make them replaceable in the story, and that's just what Lucky was. She offered nothing to the story except to be there for one moment of badassery in the finale and to be someone for Trevor to lust after. Her familial reveal wasn't utilized in any way, she didn't offer anything about the lore that couldn't have been observed

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW
Cleaning out my file cabinet, I came across a lot of old artwork back when I thought I had a future in it. Some is good, some is crap, all of it is a good reason why I stuck with writing. Enjoy.
