Season 3 Episode 16 of the animated show Muppet Babies was called “Back to the Nursery”, which first aired December 27, 1986. This particular episode was about one of Nanny’s favorite photographs, a picture of her working as a carhop in the 1950s gets ruined, the Babies travel back in time to replace it.


After some searching I was able to find it. Perhaps this will bring back some childhood memories also. This was one of my favorite cartoons growing up and the Back to the Future parody like episode was definitely my favorite.

It seems like when you are not searching for something is the only time you will find it. I was in my Aventura Mall and went into the Oakley store and found a black and white checkered shirt that was a good resemblance to the one Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future.


It’s not perfect but it’s close enough for my Marty Mcfly Costume. I looked on Oakley’s website and was not able to find the same short-sleeve checkered shirt. I can tell you that it was $55 and only one shirt was out and he had to look in the back to find one in a large size.

To complete my Marty McFly costume, I still need the vintage guess denim jacket, a pair of suspenders, and the casio watch. Unless i want to get really detailed and also get the walkman, skakteboard, and the Panasonic video camera.

An exclusive interview with Access Hollywood, airing tonight and tomorrow, Michael J. Fox talks about Parkinson’s disease, the Foundation’s progress, and his excitement to be back in Los Angeles surrounded by friends supporting MJFF at “Playing to Win the Fight against Parkinson’s,” a poker tournament benefit held at Social Hollywood.


Guests at the star-studded event included Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke of “Scrubs,” Teri Hatcher of “Desperate Housewives,” Julie Bowen of “Boston Legal,” Alan Ruck (Michael’s former castmate on “Spin City”) and his wife, actress Mireille Enos, Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete, Montel Williams and his wife, Tara Fowler, and poker champion Jamie Gold.

Access Hollywood airs at 7 p.m. EST on NBC.

I remember going on this tour when I was about 7. I need to find all my photos I took that day.

Universal Studios Florida launched some soft openings for the Simpsons Ride. The ride looks fully functioning but it’s not on the wait board or the maps yet. The ride is basically the same set up as the Back to the Future Ride with the giant  screen, Krusty vehicles on many levels, and the same small room for the safety video.


Back to the Future fans I think will be disappointed with the Back to the Future tribute in the queue video. Professor Fink goes to visit the Institute of Future Technology uses a Delorean to go back in time when it existed and talks to doc brown. Christopher Lloyd does Doc Brown’s voice but I personally don’t like the way he looks in the video.

Nevertheless the Simpsons Ride entertains and has a few good laughs but the BTTF Ride will still be missed.

I asked Christopher Lloyd about the alleged animated doc brown on the Simpsons ride and Christopher Lloyd told me at the celebration make-a-wish foundation charity event last Saturday that there is a animated doc brown on the Simpson’s Ride at the beginning of the ride and he has a few lines but it is a very short part right at the start of the ride.

Heard it here first on BTTFBlog.com

Tomorrow April 19, 2008 in Celebration Florida which is near Disney World AMC Theaters will be showing Back to the Future at approximately noon for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Some of the cast will be there to give out autographs and do a question and answers segment before the film. Christopher Lloyd, Bob Gale, Claudia Wells, and Jeffrey Weissman will be the cast members attending the event.

Oliver’s time machine replica will be displayed in front of the theatre for photo oppertunties. Which is a great replica except the pet-peeve i have of the red cylinders on the drivers side patoon being the wrong color.

There are 2 type of tickets for sale the regular $30.00 tickets and the $50.00 VIP tickets.  Both include Popcorn and Soda but the VIP tickets give you early admission to get better seats and more time with the cast without a huge mob surrounding them along with a few souvenirs. There are only 375 seats available for this one time showing.

I just purchased my VIP tickets earlier today and since I’m a BTTF fanatic I will be a dork and wear my Marty McFly costume.

The Delorean time machine replica and Part III Time Train replica have now been brought back into the Florida park for display and photos


There was a rumor going around that USF was planning to turn the train into a Harry Potter attraction but that rumor is now dead. USF is allegedly planning on restoring some of the features and functions of the time train like making the flux capacitor light up and the gadgets spin again. The last time these gadgets were allegedly used was May 1, 1991 when the Back to the Future ride originally opened. The train brought Michael J. Fox, Tom Wilson and Mary Steenburgen to the Ride’s opening.

The Delorean time machine has already been giving a make over to make it resemble the film car from the movie.

Been out of town the last 3 weeks backpacking Asia. While I was out of town I found out my dad went to get my cars upholstery fixed which kind of scared me because I don’t like anyone driving my Delorean but me.

They couldn’t figure out how to open the bonnet and I went over there yesterday and opened it for them. The car will be ready today and I’m going to pick it up after work. I’d take some pictures but unfortunately my camera fell into the ocean on my backpacking trip but I will try to figure something out and get picks up right away.

One thing to note, the headliner boards were warped and the guy is having a problem fixing them. He is going to see what he can do but they might be warped to much to fix which means ill have to order new ones from Delorean.com

The breaks are not working as well as I’d like and will be ordering new stainless steel brake lines along with the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder.

LA Times published an interesting article today about the Simpsons ride and confirms the rumor that the Simpsons ride have added a hommage to Back to the Future. “Simpsons ride creators even added a hommage to “Back to the Future” with a brief appearance by an animated Doc Brown, the mad inventor from the movie.”

Found a local upholostery shop that does good work in Miami that is willing to install my DMC leather seats, replace the deloreans headliner, and re-dye the delorean’s dash for $300.00.


I will be getting it done once i get back from vacation. Once I get my work done I’ll post pictures and foward you his information if any local Delorean owners need to get some upholstery work done.

The Casio watch Marty McFly wore in the Back to the Future trilogy was the CAsio CA-53W.


You can still buy this watch on amazon and other websites.
