Goings On/TV Shows: 2020-03-09
Yesterday was good, Amelia went on the potty for the first time. She was so excited and took her pee right to the bathroom. Hopefully soon no more diapers, and Clara will follow.
So many show defined who I was as a kid, as well as the segments between shows. From the PJ's on YTV and the Grogs, Snit, to Beave and Buckley on MTN, and all the shows they listed and played, as well as all the video games I played, on the Super Nintendo and N64, it really helped shape who I am. So much fun playing with Jason or myself, making tournaments for wrestlers to play out on NWO/WCW Revenge, beating time records in Diddy Kong Racing, or playing through all of Super Mario RPG.
Here is more of the Grogs I had found while researching:
“The Grogs had a number of specials on YTV. Most notably on January 1, 1994, Warren staged a fictional coup of the YTV television station and "hijacked" the network, which was renamed WTV (as in Warren TV), and involved him locking up any way in or out of the YTV studio and assigning Filth as the chief engineer. The takeover was announced by Warren in late 1993, and the character started a tie-in contest in which kids could fill in some "skill-testing questions" printed on the Christmas edition of TV Guide, send it to YTV and, if at least one answer was correct, could win one of 100 t-shirts signed by him. Each shirt displayed an image of the Grog encircled in words reading, "On Jan. 1st, 1994, TV Guide and I helped Warren Chester Grog take over YTV to create a network with attitude: WTV." The takeover was eventually thwarted by PJ Fresh Phil and PJ Jenn at the conclusion of a long-running plotline. “
