I agree. House is really starting to take shape why is it such a good evening for you?

Hi all, bye all... off to start my Sunday evening routine (gotta go get the babysitter). Hope you all are having a good one!

It just is, we're healthy, happy and, hopefully, ready for what's around the next corner

Have a great evening everyone!!

Oscars are doing a summary of the best picture entries, and what music do they put behind it?

The Dragonheart soundtrack theme. Gorgeous.

Is this thing on?

Ok, I need some help...kinda...more curious than anything

Since I'm not one that knows or experienced all the old TV shows...

What were your favorite TV shows when you were growing up?

good timing, sir joe

Really young? The Mouseketeers, with Spin and Marty and Annette.
Later? The man from UNCLE, the Partridge Family, etc.

I've heard someone mention Dark Shadows before, but have no idea what it is about. I've at least heard of these shows, but I'm not sure that I have watched any of them except for maybe the adams family

I take it back, I never heard of the man from UNCLE, what is that?

Star Trek was it for me.
and Rat Patrol.
Time Tunnel was pretty cool.
I remember watching Dark Shadows every day too.

when I was a kid, if you knew music, you liked the Beatles, and the Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. Aerosmith was kind of lame then, though looking back, I like them a lot more than I did then.

I watched the man from U.N.C.L.E., but it wasn't that great, not nearly as cool as Star Trek. They were on Space Ships! and had aliens! and they always won! and they had Ray Guns! and instantaneous transporters! It was just awesome.

I have a suspicion hat he actually placed second, not third. My suspicion is that the first place car was probably ineligible and unofficial- the father probably made it complete for his son, who is rather, um, somewhat autistic in his personality, though not quite. I really don't see how he could have made the car that he was supposed to have made. John actually got a second place ribbon. I emailed his den leader that John got the wrong ribbon, so they may tell me what the actual deal is tomorrow. When he got his car back at the end, everyone who might have explained why his ribbon was wrong was gone.

Well, I might have to get up early tomorrow, see you all tomorrow!

Those are some very talented kids!

I think I watched every game show on the planet.
Star Trek (TOS, TNG as a family)
Knight Rider
Air Wolf
Quantum Leap
Doogie Howser MD
21 Jump Street
Whatever cartoon was on
Macgyver
Highlander (as a teen)

Mostly we watched a bunch of stuff with my Mom. Both of my parents are closet Sci-Fi geeks, although my Dad was really into westerns as a boy.

Mornin', folks

mornin'.

Yeah! Some shows from my generation! I also want to add:

Brady Bunch
Giligans Island (these two might've been in re-runs, but we loved 'em)
The Greatest American Hero (I was grounded the night this premiered, so I could only listen to it from my bedroom - was before we had a VCR, so I was really upset that I missed the very first episode)
A-Team
The Cosby Show
Family Ties
General Hospital
One Life to Live

Oh, and remember when there were GAME SHOWS on all day.

The Price is Right
That "no whammy, no whammy" one
The Pyramid one
Match Game
Hollywood Squares
Pictionary
Family Fued
Let's Make a Deal

Ahhh... the good old days.

Oh, and good morning

Mornin', J'phus and k'selli

Morning 'selli, all!

people actually watch soap operas?

That game show was called Press your luck.

The game show network is great for those kind of shows. I love Match Game.

Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly were great. Richard Dawson wasn't so bad either.

Brett Somers is still alive! I thought she was older then!

Used to watch soap operas - it was on when I got home from school - if I walked/ran really fast I would only miss the first few minutes of GH. I also remember when Bon Jovi's video for "Livin' on a prayer" was #1 on the MTV Video countdown show for weeks on end. I watched it everyday when I got home. Mmmm. Jon Bon Jovi.

We don't get the game show network - wish I did...

According to the oh-so-reliable wikipedia, Brett Somers died in Sept. 07.

I missed that one! I knew CNR died sorta recently, she didn't last too much longer, I guess. That's interesting.

She wasn't really that old at 83. A good long life for sure, but...

Ooooh! Add The Muppet Show to the list! The Swedish chef was the bestest!

HA! I just borrowed the Muppet Show Season 1 from the library, and one of my daughters watched it with me but remained perfectly silent and still, and only afterwards did she say anything, and it was "Dad, that kind of freaked me out!"

I thought she was diggin' it, but I was scarring her emotions!
