RAAI is probably one of my favorite kids shows ever. It's about 3 kids, a computer and a robotic typewriter who try to stop a conspiracy headed by aliens, all while hanging around the coolest clubhouse ever. It's sorta like the X-Files meets Doctor Who, but more Canadian. Produced back in the "good years" of TVOntario (1970s through the early 1990s, after which government cut-backs kicked in)
Just watch it because the kid who played Chris later wrote for Family Guy, episode four features a member of Royal Canadian Air Farce and Otto kicks much tail. The encodes aren't the best ever, which sucks because Otto "talks" much in the same way Nance did: onscreen text. The Otto's text is a little fuzzy, so reading it is a little harder than it was in the original broadcasts.
It's not the greatest series by any means, but it's miles ahead of the dribble that passes off for kid's TV today. It has an actual, detailed plot, for one.
And I've lost weight again. I was out shopping with Alex tonight and I was able to fit into size 16 clothing. I haven't been this small since high school. We were at this one store and they had a sweater that looked like a dressier version of TTPCTS Nance's sweater. It made me laugh and then Alex made me try it on. :D She also had me try on a poncho. Of all things, a PONCHO. They be cool to look at, but I can't stand wearing them. Never go shopping with me - You need to force me to try on clothes and even then I need to try on the whole store before I settle on something.
