A double 80s flashback

Brilliant: the packaging for the upcoming ABC Afterschool Specials DVD sets look like Trapper Keepers.

So cool. I love the titles, they're so explanatory. Also, did you watch the Degrassi series?

Ah, the Trapper Keeper. What a smiley memory you just gave me. Sister Alred, Sister Janet, Principal McCarthy. Sweet nostalgia.

Thandi: Yeah, they actually made us watch DeGrassi in my cheap middle school's health class! It's also out on DVD, although the Canadians obviously didn't put their backs into the packaging like their ABC counterparts did.

Tara: Sister Janet, eh? That'd be a good name for a song. I didn't know you were a Catholic school girl. I never had the pleasure myself, although I spent some quality PSR time at old St. Mary Magdalene.
