Watching this was one of the times in my life I was at ease


Being a teen sucked for me. Being an adult sucks, work sucks. And being a kid was alright but that best times in my life were waking up early on Saturdays, making myself breakfast, and then watching Doug, and then this masterpiece, and then PepperAnn. Someone get me a freaking time machine

Haha, this is so true.

It's very ironic for us adults because back when we were kids all we wanted to do was to grow up and do whatever we wanted to, then when he actually did grow up we wanted to become kids again.

My ignore list is quite large.

Even more ironic with the episode when the principal got hypnotized into being Petey the kid. the kids explained to him how free willing and great it is to be an adult when it's the complete opposite for me. I just want to be a kid again. life was so easy before I became a teen. it was even easier on my parents until family affairs happened. guess I can't say the same for the rest of us. this was my after school jam.

I can only agree with all the comments that have been made so far. I still love 'Recess', with one of the reasons being that every time I watch an episode, i'm transported to being a kid again.

While being a kid had it's pluses, being an adult is much better IMO. The freedom outweighs the responsibility. Maybe I'm biased because I'm never having children.

Good choice.

That was a sad episode. The way Petey begs at the end, "No, I'm a kid! I'm a kid, I tell ya!" Man, that left an impression on me. And I'm totally with ya, ready to turn back the clock as far as it'll go!
