100th Post

100^th Post           

To celebrate reaching the century mark for blog posts, I wanted to briefly re-summarize my goals behind this blog.  Primarily, I’m hoping to share with friends and random visitors little snippets of my own life as expressed through the medium of television.  Mainly this site is about nostalgia (even of the immediate variety) where you can hopefully remember the entertainment that you once got from a particular show or rediscover things long thought forgotten. 


Of course, to put this in a much better way than I can say, here’s a clip from Mad Men that better relates the feelings I’m trying to get across.  Don’t worry, no real spoilers in it.

Thanks to all the regular readers I’m aware of (Matt, Scott, Allison, Rene, Ross, and Mr. Tickles) as well as those of you who lurk out there in internet anonymity.  Hopefully the next hundred posts will come as frequently as the previous hundred. There certainly isn’t a lack of media to pull from or memories to recall.

It's Always Sunny Back!

I had briefly forgotten that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was coming back to television tonight (10/9ct on FX).  Thus, instead of starting the actual theme song countdown this afternoon, I wanted to present a few great clips from past Sunny episodes.  Think of it as a smorgasbord of wacky hilarity.  (More clips after the jump).

Your Comedy Moment

For today's "Your Comedy Moment" I wanted to include an entire, bizarre interview that David Letterman did with Joaquin Phoenix circa February 11, 2009.  Though Dave has gotten a little more crotchety in his old age, I wanted to give an example of how quick-witted and humorous he still can be.  Regardless of the validity of Phoenix's condition, Dave handled it quite well.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Honorable Mention Pt. 2

I figured what better hump day surprise then the back end of the Honorable Mention for our Top Ten 90s TV Themes countdown.  We'll have a new Your Comedy Moment later in the day, Number 10 on the countdown tomorrow, and a special 100th post of the blog on Friday.  Watch out world, I'm planning things ahead of time!*
*Note: Wanted to remind all the readers that we're avoiding children's television shows in this category as we'll delve into those at a later date.

Top Ten 90s TV Themes - Honorable Mention Pt. 1

Due to the overwhelming success of our first television themes countdown, I’ve decided to go back to the well for more public adoration.  This time the focus will be on the decade of prosperity, presidential promiscuity, and productivity – the 1990s.  So, get out your DayGlo t-shirts, strap on some British Knights, and maybe bring some flannel because it may get cold before we’re done.

However, before we can get to the official countdown, I wanted to share with you the first part of the honorable mention, the television themes that – while quite good – were just not good enough to make it on the list.

Your Comedy Moment

Figured I'd give a comedy bonanza today.  Three different clips.
