Kids Get Their Own New Year’s Eve Countdowns with Netflix

#ShareYourCare NYE Countdown

I’m doing a bit of double duty on this post. As both a member of the Care Bears Share Your Care Ambassadors and the Netflix Stream Team I want to tell you about some great New Year’s Eve countdowns that you can watch ANYTIME. So, if you have some really little ones line my son Andrew then you can watch the Care Bears & Cousins countdown around 8pm. Or for Eva we can let her have her own New Year’s Eve Countdown at 9pm with Project Mc2. We’ll probably watch all six of the countdowns because we watch pretty much all of the Netflix shows in this house.

Each year we do an appetizer meal for our New Year’s Eve dinner with the kids. I get all sorts of great appetizers and we watch a movie and have a great time. This year Netflix not only provided some great countdowns to everyone who has Netflix but they even sent us a special New Year’s Eve kit and we’ll be posting images from our New Year’s Eve celebration.

The one thing that I’d like though is some special countdowns for us parents from the Netflix original shows like Longmire, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Orange is the New Black and so many more. Maybe even one from the upcoming new show Fuller House. That would be great, because us parents sometimes want to celebrate the New Year nice and early so that we can get to sleep, too.

It is a Pretty Great Time to Be a Cartoon Loving Dad #StreamTeam

Fort Selfie

This is my very first official Netflix #StreamTeam monthly post and it fits me to a most perfect “T”. Seriously, I love cartoons and I love that I have two wonderful kids with whom to share my love of cartoons. Shows that I used to watch as a kid are getting new life or being rebooted on Netflix. Case in point, Inspector Gadget. In 1983 the oblivious secret agent, Inspector Gadget was on ever 7-10 year old’s television set every day after school. You can’t walk by a child of the 80’s and say, “Do, da, do, da, do..” without them saying “Inspector Gadget”. This stuff sticks with you. Inspector Gadget was always helped out in his misadventures by his niece Penny and very intelligent dog, Brain. Somehow, with their help, he always foiled the plans of the nefarious Dr. Claw.

Inspector Gadget Show Still

While I do wish that the original series was on Netflix I am happy to see that a brand new series has been created. This new series updates things about the series. Penny is now a young adult and an agent in her own right. Brain is still her trusty sidekick. Dr. Claw is trapped in ice with Mad Cat and his claw is missing. Uncle Gadget is enjoying retirement. But, now there is the nephew of Dr. Claw named Talon who tries to get Dr. Claw and M.A.D. back into its former glory.

The kids and I watched a few episodes of the series together in a wicked cool fort that I made with a fort building kit that was sent to me for this month’s Stream Team post. We also received matching Inspector Gadget shirts. So, we hung out in the fort taking silly selfies with our new Selfie Stick and using a little flashlight to light ourselves as we took selfies. Eva on one side of me laughing like a crazy person at all the antics of Inspector Gadget. Continue reading It is a Pretty Great Time to Be a Cartoon Loving Dad #StreamTeam →
