The Simpsons : In A Class Of It's Own

Image
  Carrying on from an earlier  post  where I introduced you to The Simpsons, (yes I know they probably don't need an introduction) I thought I would expand the post to other characters on the programme however, with so many different characters just where do you start?  I've decided to continue with the characters associated with Springfield Elementary, friends, teachers and indeed the odd enemy. Springfield Elementary under the not to excellent hands of Principle Skinner is an often under achieving, chaotic and down right bizarre school, I'm not sure if anyone would want to send their children there!  The Best Friend Milhouse Van Houten Milhouse Van Houten is 10 years old and Bart's best friend, they are in the same class at Springfield Elementary and although Milhouse and Bart are often complete opposites they share a close bond. Milhouse appears to be quite sensible, sensitive and intelligent but is also quite gullible, it is this trait that often leads to hi...

Hand On My Heart It Really Is Kylie Minogue Following on from an earlier post that detailed Kylie Minogue's humble beginnings to her first year as a singer, I now carry on with 1989. So Kylie Minogue has been a child actress, starred in the soap opera Neighbours, released her debut single, The Locomotion which has been the decade's biggest selling single in her native Australia and released her first world wide hit I Should Be So Lucky which has reached No 1 in England, Australia and many other countries, her debut album entitled 'Kylie' has sold 5 million copies and a string of hit singles have been released from it. Kylie has become the 'girl next door' and kept the nation in a buzz about her love affair with fellow Neighbours star Jason Donovan, were they? weren't they?, well their duet Especially For You seemed to end all rumours and as we start 1989 their love song is sitting at No 1. Kylie Our Queen Of Denim 1989 would be another successful year for Ky...

The Simpsons

What can I write about The Simpsons that hasn't been written before? Probably not a lot as there are dozens of sites detailing every aspect of the series already but as it is my favourite programme I thought why not? The Simpsons has been on television since 1989, that's over 30 yrs! An amazing accomplishment in our never ending search for something new and fresh and while it probably isn't as funny as it once was, what could be after such a long time? Generations like my own have grown up and grown older than the characters portrayed, establishing a fondness for the series. So let me introduce you to, if they need any introduction at all, to perhaps the most famous television stars in the world, an average yellow, American family consisting of three children, Bart, Lisa and Maggie along with their parents, mother Marge and the idiotic, chaos creating, overweight, drunk father Homer. The Cute Simpson Maggie Simpson The youngest and cutest of the Simpson's is Maggie, at ...

Bob's Burgers

                                      Who says you have to be a child to enjoy animation? Ever since my teens I have enjoyed watching The Simpsons, an animated series about an average, yellow American family who have been entertaining the masses for over 30 years and whether you enjoy the show, think the quality has dipped over the years or simply don't like it, there is no denying that the show is an iconic figure of entertainment. Since The Simpsons became a household name back in the early 1990s other animated shows, focusing on the adult viewer have come and gone, each hoping to repeat the success of the original, King Of The Hill, Family Guy, American Dad and Bob's Burgers are probably the best known of these and while I have enjoyed each show my favourite is Bob's Burgers. Debuting in January 2011 Bob's Burgers has created something of a cult following, while not resulting in huge viewin...

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Anne Minogue was born on the 28th May 1968 in Melbourne, Australia, the eldest of three children she was a quiet child who didn't make friends easily. In 1979 her younger sister Dannii was auditioning for a role in the soap opera The Sullivans when instead of hiring her they offered Kylie the position who they found more suitable for both the role and age of the character, several other appearances followed until 1986 when Kylie joined the popular soap opera Neighbours, her character Charlene Ramsey was a permed, tomboy, mechanic who falls in love with Scott, played by Jason Donovan complete with 80's mullet. The romance of Scott & Charlene gripped the nation, with millions tuning in every week day for a slice of sunny, Australian drama while witnessing perhaps the ultimate boy and girl next door fall in love. The late 1980s had seen a rising interest in Australia, this sun drenched, distant country complete with palm trees, sandy beaches and a culture that was quite ...
