Epic Win: The Golden Girls

Jun. 11, 2009

Submitted by Amy A

The Golden Girls was an epic win for being able to be so hilarious, while also being socially poignant, interesting, and thought provoking. They frequently talked about things like sex, AIDs, homosexuality, etc., and they did it all while being four older ladies, which most people didn’t expect. There’s something just inherently funny about three old ladies standing around a department store talking about condoms.

Epic Win: How Crayons Are Made

Jun. 9, 2009

Submitted by Jennifer B

Sesame Workshops’ How Crayons Are Made was an Epic Win for all of the curious kids that always wanted to know how something worked or how it was made or why it did what it did. We wonder how many kids tried to melt the crayons and make their own colors after watching this though.

Epic Win: Jim Henson’s Muppet Treasure Island

May. 8, 2009

Submitted by Chris G

You can’t go wrong with Muppets, Billy Connolly and Tim Curry, not to mention they stayed fairly true to the original Treasure Island. Yet another great Muppets movie that eventually wore out through years of use and abuse at our hands.

Epic Win: Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies

Apr. 27, 2009

Submitted by Makayla P

For many of the classic cartoons we watched growing up, when you go back and watch them again, they’re not so good. That is not the case for Muppet Babies! Watching the old episode below, we totally ROWLF’ld. The incorporation of live action clips and strange fantasy scenes made Muppet Babies a totally Epic Win.

Epic Win: Unsolved Mysteries

Apr. 9, 2009

once upon a win

Submitted by Valerie B

Unsolved Mysteries was so epic because it featured reenactments of real crimes, ghost stories, unexplainable feats, etc., and it had spooky music that hooked you. It was also great at highlighting the cleverness and utter-stupidity of criminals at the same time. We’ll never forget the episode highlighting the cyber-criminal Kevin Poulsen and how he had been hiding from the FBI and simultaneously wire-tapping them at the same time, but then got caught by a store night manager.

Robert Stack’s voice was also uber-hypnotic.
