The Culture: We Need More Allowance: Music from The Beats & ‘Doug’

The Culture: We Need More Allowance: Music from The Beats & ‘Doug’In the 1990s there wasn't a single television show more popular than Doug. The show, which featured a cast of middle and high-schoolers from all walks of life, was all about the things kids cared about. Each week we learned to deal with our issues internally by watching Doug scribble his deepest darkest secrets in his journal. We watched as Porckchop the dog decked out his house with a satellite dish. We also watched as Doug coped with the changes in his life by listening to his favorite band: The Beets. Doug has long gone off the air, but the spirit of The Beet's music will live on. We've collected the best of the band's tunes over the years and a few extras.

See it Soon: ’Friends’ will be there for you on Netflix soon

The first is completely unrelated to digital media and involves learning that consuming alcoholic beverages on an empty stomach isn't a good idea. For users that do decide to drink on an empty stomach the second lesson is more crucial: Friends is timeless and goes incredibly well with an upset stomach, a sick day and a comfortable blanket. The old among you know what I'm talking about and the young among you won't have to wait long to find out on their own. Earlier today Netflix announced that Friends will arrive on its instant streaming service this coming January.
