Garth Brooks - Music Groups
Well, he keeps announcing that he's retiring then eventually releases a CD or goes on tour. Never was a big country music fan (though oddly enough, I DJ'd for a country station for a number of years), but I liked quite a few of GB's singles. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on September 3, 2010, 9:52 am

"Yesterday, Apple jumped onto the social networking bandwagon with iTunes Ping...." Awwwww crap. Now I suppose my employer will take away our access to iTunes now. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on September 2, 2010, 4:12 pm

Stevie Nicks - Music Groups
fletch- I totally know what you mean about the voice. LOL!! I recall an old South Park episode where the boys are trying to sneak a goat onto a plane to take it back to Afganistan. The military corners the boys and questions them about what they are doing and about that time the goat lets out a bleat. The soldiers then think that the goat is Stevie Nicks going to Afganistan to entertain the troops so they let them on the plane. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on September 2, 2010, 11:24 am

Little House on the Prairie - TV Shows
I'm white and I would never dream of cussing out a cop (though there have been a couple of times in my life I really wanted to)- for fear I would not only get the business end of a baton but also be calling my wife an hour or two later asking her to come down to the jail house to bail me out. Just sayin'. As for Little House on the Prairie, It was a decent way to kill a half hour or so. I always found it to be a little too sugary-sweet for my tastes, but there are worse shows on television. I met Dean butler once (he played Almanzo). -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on September 2, 2010, 11:20 am

Hell's Kitchen (U.S.) - TV Shows
I've never been a fan of 'reality' shows in general, but I simply cannot get into this one merely for the fact that I briefly worked in an upscale restaurant when I was in college. I left because I was tired of listening to the Chef and Souz Chef both throw temper tantrums and berate everyone within spitting distance at the slightest provokation. Why would I want to watch a show about that? -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on September 2, 2010, 11:01 am

Addams Family, The - TV Shows
I agree with you completely TheDeanofNYC. Comparing those two programs is truly like comparing an apple to an orange. Frankly, I liked both shows for the divergent reasons you've outlined. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on August 23, 2010, 12:06 pm

I Dream of Jeannie - TV Shows
I enjoyed this show pretty much up until the last season. However, are correct baldrick- This show needed the conflict to remain viable. Had the show been about ME finding some hot blonde with limitless magial powers, parading around the house all day in crazy lingerie calling me "Master".... well, let's just say the pilot episode would've been over in about 15 minutes ending with me as the richest man in the galaxy retiring in luxury on my own tropical island. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on August 23, 2010, 12:00 pm

Adventures of Superman, The - TV Shows
I must say that for it's time, it really wasn't a bad show. It can fall a tad on the cornball side but it's still pretty watchable in my opinion. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on August 23, 2010, 11:53 am

Frosty the Snowman - TV Shows
"... yet for whatever reason it is forgotten and the DVD makers keep bundling Frosty with "Returns"." Smells of a 'back room' deal to me. And yes, the original was wonderful. 'Frosty Returns' was just lame lame lame lame lame. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on August 19, 2010, 1:04 pm

Great Grape Ape Show, The - TV Shows
This show was clear proof that the people who were producing Saturday morning cartoons in the 70's were, as Mr. Hand would say, "...on dope." -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on August 19, 2010, 12:52 pm

Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat, The - TV Shows
This show was a trip! I happened to catch an episode one day and was hooked. My absolute favorite episode was the one about the Ghost of the Pirate King. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on August 19, 2010, 12:24 pm

Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids - TV Shows
Fat Albert was pretty much a Saturday morning staple for me. However, I was beginning to lose interest in Sat AM cartoons in general about the time the Brown Hornet rolled around. What I do recall of that character- he didn't add much to the show. I was out of high school and in the 9 to 5 work world by the time The Legal Eagle appeared on the scene and thus I have no memory of that one. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on August 19, 2010, 12:21 pm

Sagging - Random Topics
I remember driving through a neighborhood in Los Angeles about 13 years ago and seeing some guy with those big baggy hanging down pants and a friend in the car with me said "Man I sure will be glad when that stupid A--ed look goes out of style." Little did I know 13 years later it would still be around. Ugh. I sincerely hoped that that particular style of pants would become to the 90's what 'Elephant Bells' were to the 70's. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on August 12, 2010, 2:37 pm

Mike Myers - Celebrities
Travoltron, I think you've hit the nail square on the head. Comedians tend to be very dark people by nature and it is that darkness from whence their humor arises. When the lose that darkness, they tend to lose the humor along with it. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on July 27, 2010, 2:51 pm

1970's - Random Topics
I suppose I'm so fond of the 70's because I was between the ages of 4 & 14 in that decade. Some of the fondest memories of my life occurred in that decade. No responsibilities, no worries, not a care in the world. The popular music and the TV shows were great! I will say that the only thing that really boned in the 70's (IMO) were 'Elephant Bells'. Those jeans/slacks with the MASSIVE bells at the cuff. Any time I rode my bike (metallic purple with the high handle bars and the 'banana seat' with the 'sissy bar'), I had to roll up one leg of my pants to keep from getting them caught in the chain. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on July 19, 2010, 10:42 am
