Cher's Lost Record Albums of the 1970s
Stars was an attempt to warm up Cher's image, to make her less icy and
more real. The result was a fine album by any measure, especially when
you consider that, up until this point, Cher had mostly been portrayed
in public as a wisecracking, singing, dancing Barbie Doll come to life.

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.

My Top Ten Guilty Pleasure Action Movies
One
of Duke Ellington's Final TV Appearances
In the spring of 1970, former Ellington
vocalist Joya Sherrill became the first African/American female to
host a kid's TV show. Until now, no tapes of those shows were known
to exist, but we uncovered two rare examples - including an episode
of 'Time For Joya' featuring Sir Duke.

Richard
Pryor Show
Was
Richard Pryor bitter about his television experience? No, not at all.
He had this to say: "One week of truth on TV could just straighten
out everything. One hundred and twenty-seven million people watch
television every night; that's why they use it to sell stuff. They've
misused it a long time so now it's just a business, that's all. They're
not going to write shows about how to revolutionize America. The top-rated
shows are for retarded people."

They Made an Album?!?
Yes, most of us are already aware that the likes of William Shatner, John Travolta and various “Brady” kids have all had their dreams of musical greatness and have all put out albums of their warblings at one time or another. But… they are far from alone in the world of surprising others who have also attempted to parlay their notoriety or fame in one field into the world of the recording arts.

As far as Las Vegas goes there are several 'Kings' - Elvis, obviously, he earned the nickname. But Frank Sinatra, The Chairman of the Board, was the true King of Las Vegas in my opinion. His whole persona, his swagger came to define the town he ruled. Sure, Elvis made the ladies scream and created turmoil on the Strip but it was Sinatra's cool way that won over Sin City and propelled him to greater heights over an amazing 40 year run.

Sky King
"Out of the blue of the western sky comes... Sky King!" Nabisco's kid friendly cowboy in the air was popular for two decades on the weekends - and years before that on radio. Likable stars Kirby Grant and Gloria Winters were matched with believable scripts, stark desert scenery and exciting aerial shots.

History of the Laugh Track
What would TV history
be without the laugh track? While much-maligned by television critics,
the laugh track is, in fact, any true TVParty-er's best friend. Over the
years, having watched rerun after rerun, we all have come to know and
love those nameless laughers whose voices we recognize, and who can always
be counted on to assure our amusement. Such classics as The
Beverly Hillbillies, The Munsters or even Bewitched wouldn't be nearly as fun - and indeed, would
be almost inconceivable - without the laugh track.

My
World and Welcome to it
My
World and Welcome To It might be considered The Simpsons of its time. Smartly-written with a superb cast of familiar faces, My World presented sitcom life enhanced by the writing and scribbling of New Yorker humorist James Thurber (who died eight years before
this show aired).

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.
