I am amazed to see how much my sons enjoyed watching Pink Panther today. Thanks to Netflix, they can watch up to 120 episodes of this wonderfully entertaining series.
What they view on the so-called children's television is plain ridiculous. I have put much energy in trying to prevent my boys from watching these violent characters. I knew it would be impossible to stop them thus I offered them so many other options that they never had the time to watch Ben 10 when I bombarded them with the smurfs, Lazy Town, Pink Panther, Twitty etc. The stuff that you actually laugh at.
I remember Pink Panther very clearly but I have not noticed just how unfortunate he is. He means well. He tries hard. He is not evil. Nor is he clumsy. Just all the bad stuff happens to him. He is always at the wrong place at the wrong time. He is at the same time able to laugh at himself.
I know people like that. Others rarely understand their inner world which they long to share but never get the chance to. Pink panthers who look strong, able, and problem resistant are mostly alone...They never complain. They never cry. They just deal with it...
I had nicknamed my first love Pink Panther when I was in the sixth grade. Don't know why. Ironically, I grew up to be a pink panther myself....
I did not know that....
When Blake Edwards dies in 2010 at the age of 88, he was working on a broadway musical called "The Pink Panther".....
