So many programs have come and gone around the world.
BQ1 What country do you live in?
BQ2 Have you ever been on television? Or in a movie?
Answer
Gulla Gulla Island - SCARRED ME! That yellow thing is freaky!
Rollie Pollie Ollie - I thought it was inanely boring even then.
House of Mouse - I liked it, it had cartoons and Disney.
The Weekenders - saw it at some point, it got canceled but I really liked it.
Seseme Street - not an avid watcher, but who hasn't seen this?
Dora the Explorer - sadly, this was more helpful for learning Spanish than anything.
Flintstones - Only sometimes, but I kind of thought it was bland. And Gazoo ANNOYED me.
Animaniacs - Still continues to be one of my favorites, I love the adult jokes I can now get.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - I liked the idea of Asian fighting styles, fun inplausability, and wisecracking jokers as the heroes wrapped up in one show. I'm still a Turtle girl, and even though I think it's a lot more corny now I love it.
Darkwing Duck - Disney's blend of wisecracking superheroes, trademark animals, and actually threatening villains (for the most part) with weapons and guns instead of dumb things. Sure, it had some dumb episodes, and the animation ranged from really good to choppy. But I still like it today, and that must mean something.
BQ1: USA
BQ2: No.

How did Los Angeles get its name?
Garrett La
How did Los Angeles get it's name? The angles?
Answer
It's a long story, but I'll try to shorten it.
First off, Los Angeles means "The Angels" in Spanish.
There is more to it than "Los Angeles." A Franciscan priest by the name of Father Juan Crespi founded a river in the area and gave it the name "Nuestra Señora de los Angeles de la Porciúncula" (Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the Little Portion) now known today as the LA River.
Fast forward to September 4, 1781, a new settlement was established along that river. The settlement came to be known as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciúncula or "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the Little Portion." But you can call it Los Angeles.
(Sorry. Animaniacs reference.)
