Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I didn't want to have to explain
Heh. My Dad listened to John Prine a lot when I was in 2nd grade. We had a long talk after he discovered I had learned the songs and would sing them to myself. He worried that some day he would be called to my school to explain to the principal why I was singing: "There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes...."

OMWF is went I went from fan, to FAN. It had so much potential to suck and my expectations were so low. I figured it would be some kind of standalone episode (like that horrible post-9/11 west wing) which would be mildly entertaining but ultimately junk. I was shocked when not only did the story make sense, and not only did the songs not suck, but it moved the character and story arcs too and in a big way. The Buffy-in-heaven reveal, the mindwipe reveal, klepto!Dawn, Giles choosing to leave, Spike/Buffy, etc.
Kind of why I have so much faith in the Serenity movie rocking even for non-FF fans.

"Guv'ment" from Big River, being sung by 10-year-old me. The same me knowing all the words to Best L'il Whorehouse In Texas.
Thankfully, my mother has a hell of a sense of humor, as well as a high "Ooooh, shiny!" index.

"Sodomy" from Hair (the movie soundtrack), which my sister and I went to see with Dad when it came out--I was 13, she was 15. Dad was a little iffy when we fell in love with the music and insisted on getting the album, which we then proceeded to blast on the stereo at home.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I remember seeing Hair in the theater! Also, JC Superstar.

When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. --Tuco
My sister and I memorized a lot of Broadway original cast albums, which weren't too likely to embarrass our parents. But I remember once my sister and I were in the back seat (we must have been about 11 and 13) belting out "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair" from South Pacific. My dad laughed like crazy and I didn't understand why. Now I can see why two little girls singing about what to do "if a man don't understand you" is pretty funny.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Simalarly to Kathy, my experience is with Hair. My mother (who is a bit of a prude, actually) loved Hair and played it all the time. Until I kept pestering her with "What is Sodomy, mommy?"
She told me to go look it up in the dictionary.
The definition was "An unnatural act"
I thought about sodomy constantly until I really knew what it meant.
