There was one skit from around 1975 or so. Bob met an AM with no face, performed by Jim. First Bob puts on some angry eyes with Grinch-like eyebrows, a big green nose, and a wild black wig. Every time Bob adds another piece, the AM gets angrier, so mad he storms off camera, and we hear a loud...

People Magazine just issued a thick volume "Celebrities That Left Us Too Soon", and devoted 2 pages to Jim. Everybody else got at least 4, but the fact they included him is enough. There's a nice shot of Jim and Kermit in a movie seat holding a bucket of popcorn, and behind them is a mural of...

Depends on the line of work, maybe. But you do have to sell yourself in interviews, convincing your prospective employer they made the right decision in hiring YOU, sell yourself on what an asset you'd be to the company, but yes, at the same time, not coming off as an arrogant SOB. It is a fine...

I have a soft spot for Phil, too. He had some big shoes to fill when Peter Gabriel left Genesis, and he was responsible for bringing Genesis from Progressive Obscurity (not the worst thing in the world) into the mainstream. I enjoy his solo work, but I split a few hairs over his cover of "You...

These days it sure ain't easy trying to make ends meet, let alone landing The Dream Job. So many people in the same boat. People just settling for what few jobs there are out there just to survive. And beggars can't be choosers. Nowadays you can't get a foot in the door at many places unless...

That's the same fate of Don McLean, who has 20 albums to his credit and still plays live, (saw him a few years back, and he was tremendous!) but most people only know him for "American Pie".

Back in 1988, you could not get away from Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy". 25 years later, it's still an obnoxious bug that gets under your skin real fast. Apparently Bobby doesn't like it anymore, either. Once he was an aspiring jazz singer (I think he also showed up on Sesame Street...

A thousand thank you's for everyone involved for posting the English "Spinning Wheel" on YouTube. Yes, you're right, it was Gordon who fixed Little Jerry's hair, not Bob, but still, not a bad recollection for a clip I haven't seen since I was 2. I don't know who enjoys these more- some of you...

Even if they did bring back adult animated movies (and I hope they would, too), you'd still have to deal with the parents that bring toddlers to the movies, regardless of content, with the belief animation=kidvid. Back in 1978, they released "Watership Down", one of the most beautifully-drawn...

Yes, in their first episode on the construction site, Maria works with them. (Jerry Nelson is dressed as a construction worker as well, helping her up onto a beam, but that's all you see of him). It established Biff as loudmouthed and not-too-bright, and Sully has to bail him out. Biff's...

You do have the extra feature of counting her momma's chins- all seven of them!

Maybe that's why Caroll squeezes in as many Comic-con appearances as he can. He has a little table set up, selling samples of his artwork, or will make a customized cartoon right before your eyes. He won't charge the exhorbitant fees some celebrities do for autographed stills (Lou Ferrigno, for...

If nothing else came from the 90's, there was Duckman. The same crew that brought you the Rugrats could channel their energies into a well-written adult cartoon, make a few socio-political jabs, give Jason Alexander an animated counterpart to his George Costanza persona, and tie it all together...

That's what it's all aboot!

Everybody seems to have run into people whose name means Bad News, mine was Tiffany. The three I've come across graduated from Drama Queen University. I hope a good Tiffany will come along to break this streak.

For the most part, if you got the basics down, basic addition, subtaction, multiplying and dividing, you're gonna do fine in life. If you're planning to be a scientist or along those lines, Math knowledge will help. Apart from that, alegbra served me no practical purpose. After 27 years of...

There's one show I like I'm sure others would've gotten into, if you were around back in 1972. It was called "The Patchwork Family", and aired on CBS on Saturday mornings. The catch was: 1. You had to be around in the 70's. 2. You had to be from the New York area. 3. You had to get up at the...

Well, back in the Dark Ages, I thought da Moosk and sqweerill were pretty cool, too. Jay Ward's little cottage industry was a welcome addition to any cartoon lineup.

In those Japanese monster movies, do the people's homeowners' insurance policies protect them against "Acts of Godzilla"?

Maybe it wasn't something I did, maybe I wasn't a kid when it happened, but still a cool story. In one of my college courses, during the midterm, everything's quiet. Pens scribbling, students GPA's at stake, and the girl next to me breaks the silence by her stomach growling. Really LOUD. So for...
