Oscar-worthy Flick




Thank you, IMDB

  The Disney Channel isn’t one of my top five most visited TV channels… I’m pretty sure I’ve been out of their target market for a little while. Growing up, however, our TV was on the DC more than any other station. Why? Laura and I thought they aired some seriously great movies. I’m not talking Snow White and Aladdin but more along the lines of Xenon - Girl of the 21st Century, Johnny Tsunami and our personal favorite Alley Cat’s Strike. It seemed like every time Mom & Dad were out on the town, ACS was on TV. We would make some killer cookie dough and gorge ourselves while watching that movie again and again and again.

Imagine my excitement Saturday night when while flipping channels pre-sleep, I stumbled upon Alley Cat’s Strike. Yes, it may have been after a few adult beverages with primo company and yes, it may have been very late/early in the am, but that’s beside the point. Not only did I stay up and watch the stupid thing, but I called Laura twice (she was naturally asleep), called B to tell him (he had no idea what I was talking about), took a picture of the screen (to send as proof; please see below) and browsed the internet frantically in search of a copy of the DVD that I could buy (it’s not available… anywhere… sad news). Guess I’ll never be too old for a solid Disney Channel flick.

The next time you run across Alley Cat’s Strike, give me a call… you provide the TV and I’ll bring the dough.
