Jerry Seinfeld On Getting Married At 45
Jack Sheldon Has Died!
You may not recognize the name but you'll recognize his voice from those wonderful Schoolhouse Rock segments from Saturday mornings. My favorite of his was 'Conjunction Junction' but there were others, like perhaps the most well-known of the bunch, 'How a Bill Becomes a Law.'

Partridge Family and Brady Bunch at Kings Island theme park 1972-73
King's Island opened to the public on April 29, 1972 and, within 2 years, this Cincinnati, Ohio amusement park was visited by both the Partridge Family and the Brady Bunch. Scenes from those productions offer us a prime look at this quintessential midwestern theme park in its heyday.

It's
About Time
One
of TV's most beloved sitcoms and it only aired for one year. The series itself may not have been successful, but the show's theme
song is one of the most memorable of all time. People who never
saw the show became familiar with it! Like many Sherwood Schwartz
productions, the theme gives you the entire premise of the show
in hummable fashion. But
will we ever see this classic on DVD?

The Dark Shadows Movies
House of Dark Shadows stands as perhaps the most effective TV adaptation to the big screen until Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan came along in 1982. The daytime soap opera Dark Shadows struggled to find an audience before Jonathan Frid joined the cast as Barnabas Collins. This happened in 1967 just after Batman ignited in primetime; both Frid and Adam West became instant pop icons. Perhaps it was the success of the Batman movie that prompted MGM to green light a film version of Dark Shadows four years later.

Betty White on Don Rickles
This is what Betty White says about working with Don Rickles: “I’ve known him for years, we’ve been friends for years but the first time I worked with him was, we did the movie version of ‘Dennis the Menace.’ And he would start the day, in the morning, instead of saying ‘Good morning’ to me he’d say ‘I hate animals!’”.

Andy Kaufman Pilot that Inspired Pee Wee’s Playhouse
While ABC passed on the series, this pilot film became the inspiration for an iconic show some 3 years later. Kaufman even gave Paul ‘Pee Wee’ Reubens permission to base his Saturday morning kiddie show, ‘Pee Wee’s Playhouse,’ on the Uncle Andy concept.

Bob Hope
The Bob Hope Special was the longest-running television series
of all time. No one who wasn't born between 1900 and 1975 could possibly
understand what Bob Hope meant to the entire fabric of this country.
He was safely sarcastic, a constant throughout all time and all media.

Best of Batgirl 1967-68
The most popular character on the show, besides the Dynamic Duo, was Catwoman but she couldn’t be on every week so the producers asked DC comics to come up with a heroic Catwoman so Batgirl debuted in Detective Comics # 359 in 1967. (As opposed to the earlier Batgirl, a minor character from the 1950s.)

1960's Soap Opera Themes
The Edge of Night came on CBS in the afternoons so this is the Soap Opera theme I remember best as a young kid, just getting home from school. It reminds me of laundry being done and dinner on the stove (the kids ate early at our house). There's something eerie about this theme, the show had a dark undertow and a generally seedy nature. And then there was Dark Shadows.

1980's
PUNK ROCK
In the early-eighties, young people in Los Angeles were flocking to
makeshift clubs in droves to see new, up and coming bands. Live new
music, not DJs, was what they craved. These writings provide a sketchy
look at the underground club scene in Los Angeles during the time
that groups like X, Missing Persons, The Go-Go's, The Minutemen and
Wall of Voodoo entered the public consciousness.
