    Thomas & Friends

    Thomas was long after my time (I was in college when it first aired) so it missed making an impact on me. If it was on in the early Seventies like Electric Company, Zoom, (not the remakes) it would be a different story. But I can appreciate the fact George Carlin kept his mouth clean just long...

    Watched the production credits of Price, and one producer is Adam Sandler. THAT Adam Sandler????!!!!

    The game show thread

    I'll do you one better for "Worst Game Ever". Friend Or Foe, hosted by Kennedy (now a Fox news reporter. One side note, I never cared for people with no last name. Sting, Bono, Cher, Madonna, Beyonce, etc. As Denis Leary used to say, "Pull that bus over to the side of the Pretentious...

    The game show thread

    The Price Is Right is a much better vehicle for Drew than his last gig, To The Power Of Ten. The one difference between Drew and Bob Barker, in Bob's days, if a contestant lost, he would pull a sad face, "Aww, too bad, Dagmar! You're walking out with nothing!" With Drew, even if they didn't win...

    The British TV show thread

    One overlooked gem from the late 60's was "Do Not Adjust Your Set". Stellar cast: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, who a year later would form Python (in its second season, Terry Gilliam had a few cartoons shown), David Jason (the future voice of Danger Mouse) and the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah...

    Actually the 2016 picture looks like Ted Cruz. Now THAT'S scary!

    RIP Garry Marshall

    You couldn't live in the 70's without a Garry Marshall sitcom on ABC. The Odd Couple and Mork still hold up fairly well. Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley, not so much. Happy Days went downhill after Fonzie jumped the shark (and adding a new term to TV lexicon). The final straw should've been...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    That's one thing I wish both Trump and Hillary could've felt at some point in their lives. To know what it's like to have nothing. Trump went bankrupt once or twice (and paid through the nose in alimony), but I wonder how they would ever deal with having to work several jobs flipping burgers or...

    What's stopping you from running in 2020? There's at least five people here old enough to vote for you.

    If you liked Monty Python and Benny Hill, you'll probably like The Goodies.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    What would it take (or would have taken) to find somewhere in the middle? Pence pulling Trump further right, Bernie pushing Hillary further left, how can we ever come together on anything now? Ben Carson may have been greener than Trump in politics, but he could've been a voice of reason with...

    The game show thread

    I love old game shows from the Seventies. Back when Bob Barker's hair was dark (he's 94 and still kicking!), Match Game was fun, with Charles Nelson Reilly, Richard Dawson and the ubiquitous Betty White. The coolest part of the show, they used to tape a week's worth of shows in one day. Between...

    Any Musicians?

    Started out playing drums when I was nine, when the Muppet Show was brand new, and beating drums like Animal looked like fun. Picked up guitar at 15 when MTV was brand new and everybody wanted to form a band. Switched to bass a year later, been there ever since. Played my share of fancy clubs...

    What are you Thankful For?

    Back in October I fell, broke my ankle, so I've been out of work since. After using up all my vacation time/sick time/short term disability (I'm currently long term disability, but not permanent. I will be back to work sometime) I've been able to volunteer a lot at church. This week is Vacation...

    Your favorite Carol Spinny Character?

    In the first season Caroll did perform a lot more, since basically it was just him, Jim and Frank. But this wouldn't last too long. Watch "Everyone Likes Ice Cream". Caroll is the little maroon guy with glasses. He's a little out of step with the others, and Jim and Frank used to get on his case...

    When you need to rant...

    I can see why religion would drive people away. Observing a lot of trappings and rituals, like the Scribes and Pharisees did, which Jesus was directly against. Religion doesn't bring you peace, but having God in your heart does.

    Pet Peeves

    I know exactly who you mean (he still sneaks on here once in a blue moon). "HUZZAH!!!!" It blows my mind he can find a new post and clog up the comments section with the same forty comments in the same exact order. "HAPPY 45th ANNIVERSARY CTW!!!" If this is the pinnacle of his social life, he...

    When you need to rant...

    I'm not here to shove religion down anybody's throat, or judge whether people believe or not. People can still hate me for believing, but I'm not going to turn around and hate them. I do know this much. I found peace in my thirties. It filled a hole nothing else ever can. Life is too short (or...

    When you need to rant...

    Circumstances and times change, but God's word doesn't. At least I can sleep at night, in spite of all the problems, and there's no shortage of them. Through God I found a measure of peace you can't find anywhere else. I just wish more people could have that same peace. If morality is outdated...
