I still remember the big shift in '92 after Johnny Carson retired, and it looked like Letterman might inherit his spot. (Joan Rivers seemed to angle for the spot, too, but the powers-that-be thought better of it) But Dave seems to have been quite comfortable at CBS for the last 20 years, and he...

I'm at Crumbs in New York City right now, lighting a candle on a chocolate milkshake cupcake for you. Here's to ya. :)

Back in January 1987, Pennsylvania State Treasurer Budd Dwyer was convicted on several charges of embezzlement, money laundering, etc., and was sentenced to a lengthy jail term. Before he was to begin his term, he called a press conference, protested about what he felt was the corruption of the...

I've only seen the Nick Doug and the Disney Doug once or twice, and thought they were okay. Certainly didn't HATE them (rather harsh word). So maybe we can put this thread in a new paradigm: "Why does everyone hate Doug EXCEPT Fuzzygobo and maybe a few thousand more?" :)

I'm getting nostalgic and misty-eyed right now. Way back in the 70's when they introduced breakfast, that was a radical idea. They had the Egg McMuffin (there'smoreinthemiddleofanEggMcMuffinthananegginthemiddleofamuffin!) for some time, but being able to get hotcakes and sausage for the first...

I didn't care for too much else as the 80's progressed (maybe because I was older than the targeted age group) but Danger Mouse absolutely blew my socks off.

I always thought the Pufnstuf movie was pretty decent. (Sometime back, word had it that the Kroffts were planning a remake. I hope they have the good sense NOT to!) But just like with the tv show, we never get to see if Jimmy and Freddie ever make it back home. Jimmy might've been happy...

Where do you get the seeds to plant seedless watermelons?

For everybody that was nostalgic for 90's-era Nick, I'm sorry you weren't around in the days of Danger Mouse, Turkey TV, and Eureka's Castle. Old Nick? I'm talking ANCIENT Nick! :)

The people on the set would've had a better take on him. I guess it would've been up to people like Jon Stone whether or not he really had the necessary chemistry to make it on the show. I thought it was amazing, that up until a couple years ago, NOBODY could remember who he was. Caroll...

I was lucky enough to catch Animaniacs when it first came out. It used to air on Fox 5 on weekday afternoons, going head-to-head with the Disney Afternoon (Sometimes your allegiances were divided). Back in 1993 there used to be Warner Brothers retail stores, where you could buy animation art...

Another thing that was so remarkable about Flying Circus, and Holy Grail, the quality is so good, yet these shows were made on the skimpiest of budgets. At the end of one of the shows from the last season, as the credits are rolling, Eric is commenting on Hazel Pethig's costumes, etc. until he...

When you're 6 years old, kids calling you names is not so easy to brush off. Especially if you're the least bit sensitive, or if you have any detectible weakness- being fat/skinny/wear glasses/braces/stutter.... the list is endless. Bullies, classmates, it just blows my mind that kids...

"Sticks and stones may break your bones, But names will never hurt you". Biggest lie my parents ever passed off on me.

Divas. Once upon a time the term was bestowed on women who could really sing- women like Mahalia Jackson or Aretha Franklin, with multi-octave ranges, who can even do justice to the National Anthem. Nowadays, all it takes is a little cleavage, two notes, and the ability to talk Smack, and voila...

Just seeing if I could stump the panel.

Cancer is a horrible thing for anyone to deal with. I pray for her to be strong and recover. If it's not to be, then God, please make her suffering brief, and bless those she leaves behind.

How about club soda stains?

What can you use to get detergent stains out of your clothes?

Censorship of Freedom of Speech is un-American. Might've flunked Algebra, but I aced History.
