He was also a regular customer at Mel's Diner on "Alice". I thought it was touching, during the production of "The Partridge Family", since Danny Bonaduce came from such an abusive home, Dave Madden let Danny stay with him. Very decent guy.

That just leaves Ginger and Mary Ann with us. I hope they're not still going to green-light that proposed Gilligan movie. So many 60's sitcoms were campy viewing at best, but did not translate well to the big screen several generations later. Keep your fingers crossed on this one.

Apparently "anal-expulsive" would be the opposite of someone who had an "anal-retentive" personality, but SNL hasn't gotten around to making a skit about that yet.

At least you can still line your catboxes with newspapers. Let's see you do that with your nook.

Back in Psych 101, they discussed some people as being "anal-retentive". Usually uptight, bordering on obsessive-compulsive behavior, things having to be in neat and exact order, doing things methodically and meticulously sometimes with obsessive devotion to the most minute detail. You know the...

Every once in a while when I need to rent a car, I often get Sirius as an option. Which is nice if you're on a long drive and you're really into the Grateful Dead or Jimmy Buffett. It would be great if there ever will be something (maybe someday) like Sirius TV. A channel of 24-hour 70's kids...

Radio hasn't been completely put out to pasture, either.

It's been determined the baker was an actor named Alex Stevens (he knew how to take a fall real well!). Bill Ponezecki was the Mystery Door Man, who a couple seasons later teamed up with Paul Price as "Wally and Ralph"- a retread of Season One's "Buddy and Jim" clips. That was Brian's brother...

Probably the best comedian I've ever seen put a heckler in his place was Tim Allen. This was 1990, about a year or two before "Home Improvement" exploded, and you just KNEW this guy was about to break it big. He had to deal with a few drunken bums, but he handled himself so well, Mr. Richards...

Pink Lady and Jeff! I remember that well. They built up all this hype leading up to the premiere, then it had a lifespan shorter than a drunken butterfly.

The Crack Master never really scared me. Probably because I was older when it originally aired (the red-hot I-beam didn't faze me, either). As I mentioned on the "What Scared You" thread, it's amazing how something can totally freak you out and I might not even blink. Then something that could...

At first I was about to say, "WHT is still in existence?" Way back in the late 70's WHT (Wometco Home Theatre) was kind of a poor man's HBO. During the day it had endless reruns of "Green Acres"and "Speed Racer", capped off at 7pm with the New York area's homegrown "Uncle Floyd Show", then come...

2013 was great. Got to know the above-mentioned charlietheowl real well, inching closer to finishing my book, and looking forward to next summer when my best friend mokeystar flies in from the West Coast. That and staying out of trouble. :)

I didn't get married until I was 32, but I believe waiting, making sure my wife and I had a few things ironed out first, gave our marriage a better chance at surviving. We've been married 13 years now, not without a few challenges, but I feel we beat the odds. If we didn't go into marriage with...

I don't necessarily recommend people getting married or having kids so young, before they're financially and/or emotionally ready to make such a commitment. (Accent on the word COMMITMENT). It's not fair to bring a child into the world and not have the commitment of both parents to raise the...

That's always encouraging that even people like that can find salvation. Once you open up your heart like that, you can start the healing and make amazing changes. Even Paul of Tarsus used to persecute Christians. Then through his own wake-up call became Jesus' biggest cheerleader. If it...

Around here, there are a few places that sell them year-round. Same with Peeps. I used to love the Cadbury eggs when they first came out (Easter 1982), but they're far too sweet for me to handle.

Today, the future Mrs. Rod Stewart is born.

I'm glad things will work out for you, having a new home with a loving family, new job, etc. I know how hard things can be in life. But I try to tell younger people,... THAT'S LIFE. Life is not always going to be easy, and sometimes you're going to have a lot of crap thrown at you. Is it fair...

It was very surreal first time I saw it way back in the late 70's. It was in rotation for quite a few years. No matter what else you think of it, it was a VERY ORIGINAL way to encourage kids to brush their teeth (and freak them out at the same time). Plus a nod to Ghandi can't be all bad...
