And that's why they make different colored neckties

In today's Erie Times-News Showcase section (that's the weekly entertainment section for those of you not from around here) Gerry Weiss has the following to say about what's on TV tonight:

HIGHLY MISSABLE (IN FACT, WE RECOMMEND IT)

"Hook." Dustin Hoffman. Robin Williams. Julia Roberts. Steven Spielberg. So many Oscars between them, so much talent on the set -- and such a horribly bad film. The tale of a mature Peter Pan is almost laughable in its ineptitude. Give this one the hook. Tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC Family.

Am I the only loser in the world who adores Hook? I found it to be a fun treatment of what could happen to any of us if we lose our childlike wonder and forget how to "play." I saw a story about a man who had embraced career and material gain over fatherhood and family, and the remarkable transformation that takes place when he realizes what is truly important to him. I wish more of today's parents could learn this lesson.
