Fantastic Sam

One of the great things about being a toddler's Dad is that you have a ready-made excuse to watch the shows you loved (or at least thought you did) as a way of screening them to ensure they are appropriate.

I remember watching the Fantastic Four only a few times as a kid, but I remembered it being a lot better, apparently, than it was. Which is OK, because Samson is still trying to figure out who the good guys and bad guys are and what makes them so. As in "Is he mean? Why?" or "How come he's a bad guy?"

So there's no need to get caught up in the finer points of things, which is good because I just don't have answers to some of his questions --- like why The Thing wears only blue underpants or why that guy (The Watcher) has such a giant head.
