Coffee Talk With The Cajun Mamas: Nostalgic Rewind, TV Shows and Movies That Shaped Our Youth
Remember rushing home to catch your favorite TV shows, knowing there was no option to pause, record, or stream later? Those were simpler times when entertainment was an event that shaped our weekly routines.
This episode takes us on a delightful journey through the television shows and movies that defined our childhoods. We start with our earliest PBS memories - Wishbone, Zoom, Arthur, and Bill Nye teaching us while entertaining after school. Those colorful Zoom outfits and craft ideas were Pinterest before Pinterest existed! Saturday mornings meant Looney Tunes with a parent and a bowl of cereal, while Power Rangers had us picking favorites (Pink and White were clearly superior) and reenacting episodes with neighborhood friends.
Nothing epitomized must-see TV more than ABC's TGIF lineup. Family Matters, Full House, and Step by Step created appointment viewing that families planned around. We discuss the devastation of potentially missing an episode in the pre-DVR era, and how special snacks made these viewing nights memorable family traditions. The excitement when cable finally arrived expanded our worlds dramatically - though satellite dishes meant weather could interrupt your favorite show at any moment!
We also reminisce about those VHS tapes played until they nearly wore out - from Disney classics to teen comedies like Clueless and She's All That, and the cultural phenomenon that was Titanic with its infamous mid-movie tape swap just as the iceberg struck. Our discussion highlights how different entertainment consumption is for today's kids who've never experienced the collective anticipation of waiting a week for a new episode.
What shows could you watch over and over? Share your nostalgic favorites in the comments - we'd love to hear which programs and movies shaped your childhood!

Speaker 1:This is going to strike a chord with a lot of y'all.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, we're going to be talking about our favorite shows and movies.
Speaker 1:From our childhood or adolescence into early adulthood, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah all right.
Speaker 3:So before we get started, we're going to mention our grand sponsor, cajun family traditions. This is the sausage we use in our kitchens. Yes, this is not no bologna sausage no, this is no, hot dog sausage. This is authentic Cajun sausage, but not only sausage. We got boudin. We got pepper jack jalapeno boudin.

Speaker 1:And the next time you come visit, bring an ice chest and stock up because it freezes well, and then you have that on demand when you need it throughout the year.
Speaker 3:And think about coming to louisiana. We always got those little styrofoam ice chests ready for you in the grocery store so they make it easy for you just to see where is it gonna be at. Grab your styrofoam ice chest and head home, because you're not gonna be sad. No, you're not gonna be sad.

Speaker 3:Cajun. All right, we're gonna start off by talking about shows we watched okay, okay, as children. Okay, all right, let's start with our childhood first.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we did not have cable or satellite neither until I was probably 13 or 14.
Speaker 3:Okay, so, um, it was PBS you know and what you was watching on PBS. I was watching uh, wishbone, yeah that was the most boring show no, wishbone was great as a kid, you think I like where in the world was carmen san diego?

Speaker 1:Come on and zoom, yeah, yeah, I liked that one. Boston mass.
Speaker 3:Oh, two, one, oh my god, yes, yeah yes, I'm seeing this in my head of all the colorful outfits and like they would teach you how to do stuff, so like if you were sitting at home bored during the summertime, they had like things that you probably already had at home that you can make before pinterest before pinterest, you can find out how to do crafts on zoom.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh and I loved arthur oh, arthur, yes, I liked arthur. Um, I feel like I'm forgetting one on on pb, because I would come home from school, eat my little snack and watch wishbone. And then, oh, bill nye, the science guy, okay, um, and there was another one beekman's world, beekman remember beekman, he was like a bill nye knockoff yeah, I would change him. I didn't love him okay, um, and then I would do my homework. You know, after I watched a little bit of tv.
Speaker 3:They wouldn't let me watch television if I didn't have my homework done my mama was no break.
Speaker 1:Yes, your mom was very. I got to eat a little snack and then I could do my homework done. My mama was no break. Yes, your mama was very. I got to eat a little snack and then I could do my homework nice.
Speaker 3:That's good for you, but also not just on PBS. Another one I liked on PBS was Barney. I loved Barney, loved Barney. No, and my mama and my daddy. They gave me the option of whether I could get a barney or a baby bot, baby bob stuffy, because they was doing that fundraiser telethon thing and they told me that was very expensive.
Speaker 1:But I chose baby bob because she was a little girl and you was a little girl and you thought, you thought, you thought that's what you were supposed to pick I don't know you felt peer pressure.
Speaker 3:It was my choice you know, so like I chose her, but I was just like why Did you do that?
Speaker 1:Then they had an orange one after that.
Speaker 3:BJ. Her brother right, yeah, yeah.

I forgot about that. Yeah, I used to like that one. Oh, mm-hmm, and some other ones, I don't know, but anyway, tgif was a big deal and you didn't have, you couldn't record nothing.
Speaker 3:So if you had to go to the bathroom, like you better go during the commercial break, because if not you missing it, there was no pausing you probably could record it on a cassette. On a cassette, yeah. But you know, like that wasn't really, you just sat there on friday nights. That was your thing, that's all you did. Yeah, you sat on friday night.
Speaker 1:You got yourself ready for tgif yes, thank, which stands for thank god or thank goodness, it's Friday. Thank God, it's Friday. Thank God, it's Friday.
Speaker 3:TGIF, like that was our thing. That's what we did. I talked about that in episodes before. But yeah, I mean, my mom would buy that chili sauce you know that chili sauce? I'm talking about that Austex chili sauce, no, and put it on a regular bread with a weenie or box pizza and listen, we'd sit in that rollout couch and watch tgif until we couldn't no more until we fell asleep.
Speaker 3:It was the best and I you know, I'm trying to get my kids to watch some of those shows with me, but they think they goofy.
Speaker 1:They think that yeah they are, they are, they're like the, the cheesiness is the nostalgia everything else is too heavy my kids.
Speaker 1:They were getting into full house for a while and I was so happy because my favorite full houses are the early seasons, when michelle was just a baby, baby and then it got really corny and lame, but I feel like it was actually genuinely funny in those early few seasons and that's where I fell in love with maryKate and Ashley Olsen. Oh yeah, and that continued as into our adolescence, when they had thousands of movies.
Speaker 3:they made Adventures of the mysteries they'd solve, just sleepover parties.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was the best.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all right Well let's talk about our friend Hal, the Cajun lady, accent. All right, she's got an amazing line of seasonings that we both use in our kitchens. We are especially fond of the spaghetti mix which I found. I went on a trip and my friend said, hey, do you know that girl, how? And I'm like, yes, and they are in north carolina. They have like a little cajun shop there. We can shop cajun stuff. Groceries and house stuff is there. That's awesome. And she was like we love their spaghetti mix. So it's the spaghetti mix for them. We love the spaghetti mix, cajun chili mix, cracker mixes I was thinking about the cracker mixes, how you could just get together or you have your own TGIF, yeah.
Speaker 1:And y'all make some snacks with house dips.
Speaker 3:The dips, the cracker mixes, Y'all bring y'all girlfriends to y'all house and y'all watch a couple of episodes. You know, Wouldn't that?
Speaker 1:be fun, that's so fun.
Speaker 3:Y'all use how the Cajun Lady, accents products, the dip, liquid butter, garlic, seafood, boil, cajun fry batter. We need to try that. Yes, um, and she's even got merch, because y'all already know. If y'all know how the cajun lady, she's on facebook, snapchat, youtube, tiktok, instagram, anything, any, any platform.

Go to how the cajun lady accentcom to see everything she has to offer and you can ship it right to your door. Amen, amen, all right. So we're moving past, uh, non-cable years and now we have cable, which I didn't have cable, I had satellite. So if a storm coming, forget about it, rain coming, forget about it, forget about it. But satellite was the thing. And what was you watching on cable or satellite?
Speaker 3:Oh, Nickelodeon, and once I got to fifth grade, my mama let me watch Nick at Night. So Nick at Night was my favorite because it had the wonder years on it. It had I dream of genie on it, lucy, I liked those old shows too. So I I love to stay at happy days. Yes, I loved watching all those shows, um, but but I could only while, like she would let me stay up till 8, 30, okay, so like, so like, or I think you know, I can't remember, maybe it was 9 o'clock, but I could watch those shows. A little bit of Nick at night.
Speaker 1:See, that's the kind of I wish our kids would get into old shows like that, because you don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 3:No, it's wholesome Mm-hmm. And now you're having to worry about what they see. You know, and so that's what I was watching Solution Shorts. What else? Bug Juice you ever watch Bug Juice on Nickelodeon.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I don't think we had it at that time.
Speaker 3:Not when you were little little Rugrats. What was you watching on? What you was watching on cable?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I'm trying to think. I honestly don't think we had satellite until I was older and really wasn't watching cartoons no more like I think, 14 or 15 before we had this. So I was like sneaking my mama listens to our podcast she gotta love you anyway I was sneaking watching music videos on MTV.
Speaker 3:Yeah, me too.

Speaker 3:I was sneaking watching music video on MTV and my mama told me that she knew because she had a device on the back of the TV. That should have known better. It was a freaking console TV Like there's no device that was fitting on that. Hey, mama knows. And look, she got me too, because I was watching spice girl on trl.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah I would. I would tell her mama I'm watching it in case they play hansen. You know hansen was part of the trl lineup or in sync or something, but then you got to watch all the other videos to get there, and you know I would turn. I would feel bad sometimes, though, and turn that off because I knew like, oh my god it was Like singled out. Ooh, some of that stuff, that was some yucky stuff.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't watch like the real world and all that. Oh yeah, I didn't, because I knew that was not. That was later on.

Speaker 1:Is this where we're going with this? Yeah, I want movies, not on television movies. I'm talking about a big VHS tape.
Speaker 3:Okay, a cassette. Okay, you want that. All right, so I would pop in. When I was younger, um, I had one called the uh greatest, the 40th of the greatest cartoons okay, like a mixture, yeah okay, a bunch of different cartoons and I actually found it streaming oh, was it.
Speaker 1:Or 18 of the greatest cartoons? Was it disney, or like a looney tunes, it's a looney tunes. Oh good, good.
Speaker 3:But not all looney tunes. Some of it was like uh, old old mag the magpies, or yeah, yeah okay, that's really really old stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh yes I had those tapes too growing up. I don't know where my mama would have found that, because sometime, oh would y'all record movies sometimes maybe but like often two vcrs and you play in one and you record on the other one. No like you're not supposed to do that no, but I think we would do that. It's pirating sometimes, but we wouldn't try to sell them.
Speaker 1:We just do it for ourselves yeah, yeah, because I don't know how else we would have got those movies. Maybe my mama can tell me. Um, but I definitely had several of the mixtapes of movies, cartoons, okay so I know my uncle did that, so we could have movies too I can say which one
Speaker 3:but he, he definitely had that set up.
Speaker 1:Yeah I don't know. You know, I don't never thought about it until just right now.
Speaker 3:So what movies was you recording like that?
Speaker 1:I guess some Disney movies. I did have legit Disney movies like Bambi and Peter Pan and Cinderella, Little Mermaid. I loved all that. I would wear them out.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, wear them out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know Me too.
Speaker 1:And mixtapes of cartoons. What else would I watch?
Speaker 3:The Buttercream Gang. You had that one.
Speaker 1:No, wasn't that books, was that a book too?
Speaker 3:I don't think so. Okay, this was just a movie, like you got it as a package and it was like home family films okay or something like that. Y'all, if y'all remember the buttercream gang, please tell me how I got that movie, because I watched it so much.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure I had to have two of them I feel like I def the name is ringing a bell, but I don't remember what it was, or about and like.
Speaker 3:It was this boy and I think he had a paper route or something. He worked in a grocery store and his cousin pete, he was the bad apple oh well, the buttercream gang. They did good for the town, but pete came in and screwed it all up. Eventually, I think pete became a good person, but he, he was trying to get him on the bad track for a bit ain't it always?
Speaker 3:they always has to be a villain in the movie yeah, you know, so that was one of my favorite movies, for sure uh, what about the sandlot? You watched that one, oh, about a million thousand times absolutely and that was. That was a good one. Home alone, of course, it takes two with the olsen twins okay where they was. It was like there was that camp. They swapped one was at camp, one was like a rich girl whatever they swapped, I love that one um. I really like Lindsay Lohan at the time.
Speaker 1:The parent trap the parent that version, that was a good one my kids actually like that one that's a good version they like to watch that one um as I, okay, I'm getting, I'm getting a little bit older here, but now and then I know, oh my god, I was way too young when I watched that movie. Same, I didn't really same, same. But. But looking back, on it.
Speaker 3:It's so iconic. It is and I hate to use that word because youtube is all about the word iconic, but it is when you think about what show could you watch over and over again? And it was just so good. I loved it. I loved now, and then I even bought it as an adult on dvd because I wanted to watch it so bad before streaming you.
Speaker 1:Just, you know, just wanted to be christina ricci because she got to play with Devin Sawa.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:In multiple movies. That's not fair. No, you're right, in Casper 2. Casper 2. And you know, I actually follow him on Instagram now and then I unfollowed him because, anyway, but I did, and then he had made a post and he was like the 12 seconds that changed my whole life, because he was in that movie for literally maybe 30 seconds and that was what it was all about. Like you watched the entire movie just knowing it was coming up to that end and you just oh, I just loved him and JTT, that was my love, oh, yeah, man of the House.
Speaker 3:JTT's man of the House was something I watched on cassette over and over Tom and. Hook? Yeah, Obviously, what else was? I'm thinking of a show that was kind of like that Mom, I Blew Up the Kids.
Speaker 1:Or Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Yeah, I watched that one a lot too, me too, so much. I tried to get my kids to watch it and they were like this is so weird, don't tell mom the babysitter's dead. I watched that the other day when I was folding clothes. I still love that movie.
Speaker 3:It's so good. I need to go watch that one again. Clueless, but oh, these are so good. My all-time favorite was she's All that with Freddie Prinze Jr.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's a classic.
Speaker 3:I love that movie Me and my mama one time we woke up in the morning, started watching it, and we watched it over and over and over again.
Speaker 1:She's All that.
Speaker 3:Until we went to bed.

Oh, dirty dancing, oh and grease like I feel like they go hand in hand. Dirty I should. I was young, you hear me when I my mama. I don't, cannot believe my mama. Let me watch that. But I guess she probably was like she has no clue what's happening right now. And I didn't, I didn't, I just I just loved the whole like story and theme and they were having fun and they were dancing and I didn't know nothing about really what was happening until I was way older and adult. But I'll rewind.

Speaker 1:Patrick Swayze. Oh, Patrick Swayze.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, yes, and I often think I'd love to watch this with my kids, but they might be a little young and I'm like man, I was so young when I watched, so young and probably Brynn's age, Like my cousin Hannah. She was like you never watched Grease and I was like, no, Well, we were about probably eight and she brought it to my house, Okay, and she put it in and she was like she would pause it and we'd laugh, laugh laugh and whenever John Travolta did like this with his bottom look girl.
