Super Tune Top Ten

It's been awhile since I posted a musical blog, so in a way this is overdue. In a way, it is also sort of a twist on a combination of older blogs. What Prompted This Blog? While I wouldn't consider my daughter a "TV Head," PBS Kids or Disney Channel is usually on in the … Continue reading Super Tune Top Ten →

Random Thoughts and Stories I’ve Seen

In the Creative Writing class I had in college, one of the exercises they had us do was to grab a piece of paper and just write whatever pops into your head.  That's kind of where this blog is coming from.  What will it contain?  Read on and see ... The above quote is from … Continue reading Random Thoughts and Stories I’ve Seen →

2 Years of Ramblings – A Reflection

Two Years Old Word Press informs me that this blog turned two years old yesterday!  Two years and the blogging continues.... I wrote a blog reflecting on one year and some feelings remain the same.  Rather than look back on the entire two years, I thought I would reflect on the last year, which had … Continue reading 2 Years of Ramblings – A Reflection →

Halloween Dress Up

Tonight on ABC, one of the greatest Halloween specials of all time aired again - It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.  It is in this special that poor Charlie Brown utters those sad words, "I got a rock." In that scene, Lucy is wearing a witch mask.  It got me to thinking about Halloweens of … Continue reading Halloween Dress Up →

Favorite Films – The 80’s

This blog is a continuation of a series I started earlier this week. Somebody had the idea to post a list was to consist of your favorite films from each year of your life.  So, you start with your birth year and move ahead year by year and list all the films from each year.  … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 80’s →

Holy Batman Day!

After a few serious blogs, I decided I needed to write about something a little bit less ... deep.  This is about a silly and campy a topic as I can come up with. Depending on the source, either September 15 or September 21 was National Batman Day.  Either way, I missed it.  It was … Continue reading Holy Batman Day! →

Guest Blogger: My Baby Brother

Introduction: A week or so ago, I posted a blog stating that I was toying with the idea of inviting someone to be a guest blogger.  Without hesitation, my younger brother Christopher said he would love to write one.  Let me say that he is WAY more qualified to write than I am.  He has … Continue reading Guest Blogger: My Baby Brother →

Pondering an idea: Be My Guest

I've always enjoyed when TV shows bring in guest stars for appearances on my favorite shows.  For example, That 70's Show brought in many stars from the 70's as guests or for cameos.  This is not a new concept, Jack Benny's Show in the 50's often featured stars like Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, … Continue reading Pondering an idea: Be My Guest →

Why no, I haven’t seen that …

As a morning DJ on the radio, I was expected to watch all the "hot" shows.  I was on air when the first season of American Idol was on, when Desperate Housewives debuted, and when Grey's Anatomy premiered.  I watched most of those shows.  What made it very difficult was that most of these shows … Continue reading Why no, I haven’t seen that … →

“Made in 1938”

  Introduction Since I started blogging about a year ago, I have stumbled on some great blogs that focus on old movies, film noir, music, books, and various other things that I find interesting.  Some of these blog sites have hosted Blogathons, and I have participated in a few of them.  A while back, the "Pop … Continue reading “Made in 1938” →
