Sockmuffin The Elf

Christmas is just a little than two months away, so you knew the Christmas websites couldn't be far behind. This one, however, is just a tad stranger than most. The website is all about Sockmuffin the Elf, a grumpy little guy who has his feelings hurt one year when Saint Nick decides not to ask him to participate in the annual toy making gig. There's a book about Sockmuffin for sale on the website as well as several freebies, such as an interview with the cranky elf, an alien Christmas movie, and more. It's weird, but a Christmassy sort of weird. Visit it today or risk getting coal in your stockings come December 25th.

Gilligan's Island

Anything - and I do mean anything - you ever wanted, needed or desired to know about Sherwood Schwartz's classic television series Gilligan's Island can be found on this page. Complete with a comprehensive episode guide, bios on all of the cast members and information on the fan club, this site will take much more than just a three-hour tour to get through. Other goodies on this page include a online trivia game, the lyrics to the classic "Hamlet" episode and several RealAudio clips from the series. Few television sites are as complete as this one, which also features some really neat bloopers from the series as well as pages full of other cool Gilligan's Island stuff.

The Unofficial Schoolhouse Rock Website

If you don't automatically answer the phrase "Conjunction junction" with "What's your function?", then you weren't paying attention during Saturday morning cartoon breaks in the late seventies. Over 40 cartoon shorts in four different categories - American history, Science, Grammar and Math - were created by ABC, and this site pays homage to each and every one of them. Boasting RealAudio and WAV music from the shorts, as well as several Quicktime movie clips, this unofficial site is the consummate authority on Schoolhouse Rock. There's enough here to keep Web surfers with even the twichiest of fingers busy for hours.

Quisp Cereal

General Mills, the company responsible for creating Quisp, actually has a Web site dedicated to the breakfast cereal. The page is filled with everything a Quisp fan could ask for - photos of old cereal box giveaways, a Quisp historical timeline, and information on how to get your local grocer to carry the famed breakfast treat. (Yes, they still make it!) There are also some very cool pictures of Quisp himself, happily greeting you on the first page and scattered throughout thereafter. Have friends who don't know what or who in the heck Quisp is? No problem. Use the handy Quisp Internet postcard program, and send the unlucky soul an electronic letter extolling the virtues of your favorite cereal.

Watched It!

This site epitomizes what nostalgia is all about. Jam-packed with links to pages dealing with children's TV shows from the 70's and 80's, it's easy to spend a lot of time here. The Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, Scooby Doo, Godzilla - it's all here, waiting to bring back memories of Saturday mornings in your pajamas spent staring at the idiot box.
