Dance Week! Tuesday Edition: Audrey’s Dance

90s,TV 31 August 2010 | Comments Off

After Adam West’s extreme slam-dancing yesterday, I think we should dial it back a little. Today we find ourselves in the quaint little logging town of Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks was my first exposure to David Lynch, and I was quickly hooked on its sublime weirdness.  Watching the first season again a couple of years [...]

60s,Batman,TV 30 August 2010 | Comments Off

I thought we might do something a little different and go with a theme this week. I was looking at my YouTube favorites list earlier today, and noticed I had flagged a lot of dance-related clips. So put on your red shoes bitches, it’s Dance Week 2010! Getting ready to school some fools on the [...]

While looking for photos of the cast of Wings, I ran across the photo above and this: Christmas 1992: Steven Weber, star of the TV show “Wings”, was flying with some friends to Charleston, SC for a wedding. We brought him from Los Angeles to Charlotte, NC. He was very gracious. He came to the [...]

4 Shows I Wasn’t Allowed to Watch As a Kid

70s,TV 6 August 2010 | Comments Off

When I was an impressionable young lad in the late 70s, there were certain popular TV shows that my parents considered too hot for me to handle.   So I didn’t get to see any of the shows listed below until the early 80s, when they went into rerun syndication.   Instead of just listing them, I [...]

Puttin’ On the Hits

80s,TV 21 July 2010 | Comments Off

Ms. Retronaut’s recent comment about the ’90s MTV show Lip Service got me thinking about the original lip-synch show, Puttin’ On the Hits. I remember we were all pretty psyched when this show debuted, which seems weird in retrospect given that it’s just average Janes and Joes lip-synching to their favorite songs.  But this was [...]

When Michael Calls (Maybe I’ll Let the Machine Get It)

70s,TV 20 July 2010 | Comments Off

When discussing scary movies, I think we can all agree that a) kids are creepy; and b) mysterious phone calls in the middle of the night are extra-creepy.  Combine the two and you have some real nightmare fuel.  When Michael Calls is an above-average mystery-thriller that originally aired on ABC in 1972.  It’s worth watching [...]

Timothy

70s,TV 19 July 2010 | Comments Off

Cannibalism is one of those subjects that makes people uncomfortable.¹   As a general rule, humans don’t like to think about consuming the raw flesh of other humans.  It’s considered poor form to raise the topic at a dinner party or job interview.   Plot device for a horror movie?  Sure.  Sci-fi novel?  No problem.  Bubblegum pop [...]
