28 March 2015
I remember a show called Life on the Farm, it was about barn animal puppets, Clarabel the Cow, and Porker Pig. It was kind of like Sesame Street, only cheaper. The show only ran for about two years, before being cancelled, it aired reruns for about three years after, until disappearing in 2004. It only had three VHS releases, a video game, and a DVD release, I did some spring cleaning yesterday, and found six tapes, labelled Life on The Farm "1", with the number being changed every tape. I put the first tape in, my two little sisters were in the room, eating biscuits and candy. I saw the intro, it had a crow flying by, he looked crudely made, his head and wings were held to the body by strings. Then the title card came flying in, then I saw the episode, Clarabel looked different here, she had white eyelids instead of the usual purple, her horns were white instead of yellow, and her tail was attached to her body, instead of dangling down.

I continued watching, I saw Farmer Fred, the only human on the show, he wore a plad shirt instead of the usual red, and had blue overalls instead of the green overalls. They were talking about milk and how it comes from a cow. After about five minutes, we cut to a film about milk, it only lasted 50 seconds. Then after that, it made a cut into a cartoon about an alligator brushing his teeth, and then he ate frogs and snakes alive. Then, we went back to the farm, this time, Clarabel had a rope around her neck, it wasn't there before, Fred was tugging the rope, taungting the cow, Clarabel be came angry, and bit Fred's hand, it cut to static, I could see deep in the static a hand being sawed off of an arm, the hand was made of latex, but it tramutized my sisters. I ejected the tape.
