Yippie.. the smurfs made it on the news.. I just saw a news story about the smurfs 50th anniversary. It was broadcast on the cnn headline news here in the states. I did not catch all that was said as I happen to be on the phone with my mom when all of a sudden there was a smurf on tv... I screamed 'SMURFS" and then told my mother to shut up (that did not go over too good) The report said something about the comic strip and peyo and how the anniversary is being celebrated in Belgium. It showed a picture of a very large astro figure (I think this is a statue that I remember seeing a picture of before here on the forum, maybe something that is outside the museum??) then it showed people dressed as smurfs doing some sort of olympic type fun games...
on small step for smurfs comeback!!!

you know it will be a good day when the smurfs make it on tv!! Yes I will get excited about this as it is not every day that us poor american folk get smurfs broadcasted anywhere!!

Gerda, you were right to tell your mother to be quiet, I would have done the same.

I can imagine how excited you must have been, especially as it took you by suprise. I hope you don't mind, I have added your info to the other thread in this section.

No, no, Gerda your thread was first it was just that there were so many different threads being started in various sections I thought it would be easier to try and get them all in one place together.

I don't know about you but my head is spinning with all this excitement.

[Gerda]

Mine is too, but in such a good way!! thanks for organizing the threads!!
