I would say, yes! Pulling from all of the characters from Stephen Kings previous works of art, Castle Rock reigns supreme in creepiness and artistic styling. I also love that the audience is kind of in on the joke yet at the same times can’t predict where the story will go next. For instance, when…

The Jetson’s
I was more of a Jetson’s fan growing up than the Flintstones. I loved thinking about the future and what it could offer to us. Just one invention could revolutionize the home and family. What was nice about this cartoon is that even with all the futuristic, forward thinking about what life would be, the…
Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live has been a staple for American culture for about the last 45 years. It has allowed the nation to poke fun at itself as well as hold our entertainers, celebrities, and politicians accountable for their behavior and antics. Even through tragedy, they have allowed us to laugh. Growing up, if I was…
In Living Color
The show In Living Color was not a show that I was allowed to watch. It was on the Fox network which at the time was known to show the Simpson’s and that was a show that was too adult. That didn’t stop me so when I could, I would sneak and watch this epic…
Down at the Roundhouse!
Nothing gave me more enjoyment than singing this theme song…”Whenever my life gets me so down, I know I can go down…to where the music and the fun never ends…” What can you not like about a group of 20-somethings doing sketch comedy on a stage that rotates improvising with homemade props teaching lessons that…
80’s TV Theme Songs Challenge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLcpkol0SKQ On this Monday back at work make sure you take time to bond with/challenge your coworkers to a theme-off. How many of these theme songs from the 80’s can you name? You know you want to beat, Karen, from four cubicles over. I’m coming for you, Karen.
Captain Caveman!
What a time to be alive where you can purchase your favorite cartoon! I know that I would stay up late just to watch reruns of this cartoon as it wasn’t the most popular at the time but I know holds a spot in everyone’s heart, especially when he yells, “Captain Caveman!” Enjoy the entire…
Golden Girls are Golden Comedy
The word nostalgia means Golden Girls for me. Whether it was watching the show in real-time with my Grandma at her home in Lincoln, NE or watching reruns after school while doing chores or even currently late night viewing helping me laugh as I go to sleep, the Golden Girls was a trailblazer in the…
Hold a Laugh-In this Week!
A nightly variety show for me in the early 80s, Nick at Night’ Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In entertained those that tuned in to see how the 60s informed the 70s and how the 80s where so far from the 60s, yet so close to Laugh-Ins core metaphor. Suddenly, the laughter helped the country move through…
Daria is Damn Honest
Growing up through the Beavis and Butthead generation and seeing this character morph into her own TV show was so cool in retrospect. I actually identified more with her than Beavis and his friend. Daria’s honesty about her high school experience echoed what folks were living through during this time in the 90s. Long live…
