RETAIL EXTRAVAGANZA

[gogmagog]

Holy crap Amazon is having a gigantic sale on DVD box sets, mostly TV-related. But most interestingly to me is that the sale includes a LOT of normally somewhat expensive British TV sets (Doctor Who, Blackadder, Elizabeth R, Cadfael, Coupling, Jeeves and Wooster, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, the original Forsyte Saga, etc.)

Anyway I added all the must-have things from it to my shopping cart, and now I'm faced with reducing my "must-haves" - which total $366.92 - so that they are more in line with my "can-spends" (especially since I do plan on buying some presents for other people too this holiday season, even if most of the ones I've bought have been for me).

Also why did I not know that this existed...does anyone know whether it was any good or not?

Oh hey, I vaguely remember that Little Prince cartoon! It aired on Nickelodeon for a while in the 80s. :D Unfortunately, I can't recall anything else about it except that I liked it (of course, I was like, six or seven years old at the time)... and that the rose had a girl in it. Er. And for some reason I can still remember the theme song. It was pretty goofy.

I found the theme song on YouTube, but was slightly disturbed by the fact that the credits explicitly made clear that it was not in fact based on the book. D:

(why do I have no Little Prince LJ icon, this should be remedied)

Yeah, I imagine it was probably pretty cheesy...

I used to have an icon of the star-over-the-hill landscape but I had to delete it because looking at it made me too sad.

Let's see if I can remember the theme song without actually watching the opening again since I was a kid!

THE LI-TTUL PRINCE, HE COMES FROM OUTER SPACE
CAN CATCH A SHOOTING STAR, AND SAAAIL AWAYYYY

...jesus christ, I was REALLY CLOSE. D: It kind of SINKS INTO YOUR MIND.

Hahaha, you too huh?

...it really does sink in, because after I went and looked on youtube I realized I had it word for word. WHY IS THIS TAKING UP SPACE IN MY BRAIN

Pretty much the same I remember watching it but don't remember much about it. I remember Maya the Bee a lot better personally.
