TBS, TNT, CNN, USA, were all part of Ted Turner's tv empire.Might as well shut it all down and call it a day.

Welcome to the world of business. Retail space is so obscenely high, you have to move a lot of coffee and donuts just to break even, let alone turn a profit. Then in the case of Dunkin Donuts, you have overhead, franchise fees, paying employees, local and state taxes, etc etc etc. Then after all...

30 years ago AFV used to be ABC's lead-in to prime time Sunday nights. Back when Bob Saget hosted. They went on at 7:30, because they didn't want to compete with this new thing on Fox called The Simpsons.

No, Alice used to take live baby chicks and feed them to his snake. Back in the 70s that was probably the most shocking thing you can do onstage. I'll tell you something that's really sick. I stumbled onto this on YouTube, now I wish I hadn't. There are people on there who feed live rabbits to...

Hey @ D'Snowth, back to MASH... You ever notice in the mess tent, no matter what other slop Igor is serving up, often there's potato chips.Even Igor can't screw that up.

Way back when, I appreciated The Beatles in their pre-fame days. At one point they were one of the worst bands in Liverpool (they couldn't even keep a permanent drummer), but they paid their dues playing for three years in crappy clubs in Hamburg, Germany, eight hours every night for very little...

The same could be said about music too. Now you could make your own recordings at home. You don't need a studio or a record contract. And if you do get to Taylor Swift- level status, it's all about "moving product", not necessarily about making music. Live shows are about wardrobe changes...

I'm one of the scant few old enough to remember life before cable. Once upon a time, before 1977, there were three networks. CBS, NBC, ABC, and PBS. Then in 1987 came Fox. That was IT! So you had to schedule your activities around your favorite shoes. And if you missed a show, you had to wait...

Alice Cooper was great back in the day. During his 70s prime, each tour he had a different way of killing himself. First he had a gallows swinging from a noose. Then he had a guillotine chop his head off, then he got an electric chair. He will always have a special place in my heart with...

That's hard for me to comprehend. Once upon a time in ancient history, there were four charms; Pink hearts Yellow moons Orange stars Green clovers Then in nineteenseventysomething we got blue diamonds . Then at some point Lucky got purple horseshoes. But the idea was just eating colored...

Another example- I love Led Zeppelin, but I hate "Stairway to Heaven".It's really boring when someone calls in a radio request and th best they can come up with is "Stairway". Even Robert Plant agrees. His favorite song on IV isn't "Stairway", but "When the Levee Breaks". That's mine too, even...

Classic rock radio got boring a long time ago. Same three Who songs, same three Stones songs, blah blah blah. The Who are one of my favorite bands ever, but after so many years of overkill, I'm sick of "Won't Get Fooled Again". However, on the original single B side was "I Don't Even Know...

I never had any apprehensions about driving, but the part that used to be nerve-wracking to me was having my car break down. Back in college, my dad got me a car from our neighbors for $200. The car (a 1977 Pontiac Sunbird) had 250,000 miles on it, and for the year I had it,got $3,000 worth of...

I guess since the Lego movie did so well, Funko Pops can't be far behind. I'm holding out for the Tinkertoy movie myself. But as cringeworthy as it seems there will be a Funko Pop movie, it still doesn't mean you have to plonk down money to see it. Just like if Taylor Swift comes on the radio...

Three was a charm for me, so don't sweat it. I was nervous when I started driving, and there was high expectations for my generation to drive. "You mean you're 17 and you don't have your license yet???!!" Being able to drive was a huge rite of passage. It meant being able to get a job, make...

I was around when The Cars were an active group, but they were my older sister's favorite band."You Might Think" was HUGE in the early days of MTV. Tic was a sight, with his mullet (one of those relics of the 80s that still make me cringe)and his gigantic ears sticking out). But The Cars had...

I've been going to dialysis since Thanksgiving. They had to put this catheter in my chest.Recently the put a permanent port in my arm, so I don't need the chest port anymore. The one thing I could not do was get the chest port wet.So this summer swimming was out. So was taking a shower. For the...

I'm sorry Toys R Us is gone, and Penney's on borrowed time.I worked for Penney's for 11years, 5 for Toys. Both were good companies to work for, both had good pay, great benefits, and kept me off the streets. It's too bad they couldn't change fast enough with the times.

GameStop used to have some pretty neat stuff, but very pricey. Hand carved Dungeons and Dragons game pieces, roulette wheels, slot machines, nice if you could afford it.
