I have always loved TV. Even Canadian TV. I have a hard time finding US programs, months, even years, after they air. Here I am - to fill a void. Maybe. researchette.tumblr.com

Ms. Dale King at Westbrook High school. She taught my Junior year History class, which should have been an A.P. level, and whether she knew it or not, gave me the background in American History to be a real teacher's pet in college. You rock, Ms. King!

I lov Random Family and I think about it often. I'm not lying when I say it completely changed my worldview about the economics and hoop-jumping of urban poverty.

As an authority on historical cats, when you do find a cat name do they lean more on human names or a cute name like our friend Cinnamon here? More Toms or more Mittens?

My husband and I say, "Some folk do, some folk do" quite often. This quote is from the episode where Mike is put on trial and Bobo grills Brain Guy on the stand about the making of pie crust. It's a pretty deep cut.

Not your point, but the one time I met Tom Hanks was when he was doing a radio interview where I worked (not a radio station; it made sense at the time) and he was in full Castaway hair and body. We didn't fully comprehend his whole unique look for a loooong time.

Honestly. When we dropped off our oldest (only on the other side of town, BTW) my husband and I sat in silence while I cried the whole time. I'm not a big crier at all. I really didn't anticipate how hard I would take it.

I adore this show! I live in Canada, so no HBO Max, but it's available on Makeful, one of the reasons I can't fully cord-cut. After one rather infamous episode where the contestants had to make nude sculptures, Makeful network now airs multiple warnings that there MAY be nudity. Every time.

I was just on vacation in a cabin with only a small TV and a DVD player. But I was prepared with my Complete "WKRP" DVD set (with original music!) and now the whole family is really aware of Loni Anderson. Such a rich character that on a lesser show would have been a one-sentence cliche. RIP.

I assume you've seen the prequel "1990: The Bronx Warriors" (Rifftrax did it), but there is a scene where all the gangs meet up by the river, all while a guy drums diagetic music, is honestly one of my favorite scenes in a B-movie. And Fred Williamson is so cool.

The theory used to be that if skirts were trending long that meant a bad economy since one could get by without spending money on nylons and a short skirt trend meant that the economy was strong because one would have strong nylon purchasing power. What this has to do with jeans, I have no idea.

I agree. My kids were young right at the start of the iPad kids trend. When we were out of the house at restaurants there were crayons and paper at every place and that kept them more than busy. In the car, I'd just talk to them constantly. And snacks help.
