Dinosaurs: Switched at Birth
A shocking secret is revealed when the Sinclair family starts to think that Baby Sinclair may not be their real baby. This gets Fran so outraged that she decides to go to see the Doctor. The Doctor then performs multiple tests on the two kids to find the results of who’s baby is who’s. The results is that the Molehill’s baby, Aubrey, is the Sinclair’s and that Baby Sinclair belongs to the Molehills. But it wasn’t a happy ending for Fran when she battles to get Baby back into the family.
Solomon: The idea of someone dividing an object into two, whether it is a baby or a bike has been used in sitcoms over and over again. The first time it was used however, it was by King Solomon, as told in The Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible. It’s basically the same premise as the episode, except when Solomon realizes who the true mother is, she would rather give the baby up than see it harmed, he instantly gives it to her.
Lynyrd Skynyrd: When the episode starts, Robbie and Baby are watching DTV, and a music video for Lyzzard Skyzzard.
This is a take on one of America’s greatest rock bands, Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Robbie: Stop it! You’re adults, can’t you settle this like adults?
Earl: What, weapons?
Gus Molehill: Costly litigation?
Robbie: No, Solomon the Great.

Original Darkwing Duck Chase Scene Opening Theme
When the Disney Channel first aired Darkwing Duck in March 1991, they used a slightly different opening compared to the current version that’s been used for the Toon Disney airings, the DVDs and videos, the Disney Afternoon, etc. Instead of the more jazz-based theme that people were familiar with, they instead used a more rock-based theme song. Disney continued to use this theme until the show was moved to syndication as part of the Disney Afternoon in Fall 1991, afterwhich the current theme was used, and has been used since. Enjoy the original version of the popular Darkwing Duck theme song!
The Disney DVD release of Volume 1 of Darkwing Duck boasts the inclusion of the pilot. Unfortunately, the pilot is the edited version from Toon Disney which is missing several scenes! Here is the first of those missing scenes, the original opening chase sequence, culled from the early 90’s VHS release of the uncut pilot.
Hey Dude Intro
What 80s child can forget Hey Dude, it was on Nickelodeon in the late 80s, when kids programming was still worth watching. Every episode had its own pre-trailer before the intro, as seen here. This episode was “take me to your leader”.
Star Wars Episode 1: The Lion King
FINALLY! Edited Star Wars Episode I End, with music from The Lion King.
Toy Story Video Game
I played it for Genesis, but its the same thing (this video depicts the Super Nintendo version, but the only tip off is the controller displayed). I didn’t own this game, so I’m wondering how many times I must have rented it to have such detailed memories of all the levels and attempts to beat them. Weird.
