Rather than trying to find an alternate-gender term for DID ("damsel in distress"), why not just call someone like this — regardless of gender — a PIP ("person in peril").

Have not seen "Hamilton", and at the price they're asking for tickets I probably won't for quite some time.  But I can't help but wonder how it compares with "1776", the Tony Award-winner for Best Musical of 1969, and whether or not it's time for a revival of that play.

Anybody else remember the oversized rolling paper in Cheech and Chong's "Big Bambu", or the iron-on transfer that came in the vinyl version of "Chicago VIII"?  I also recall one of the Beach Boys albums — "Holland" — contained a "bonus track" in the form of a EP single.

Glue three or four CDs together and it make a passable clay pigeon.  Much more durable, and you can usually get two or three hits on it before it is too damaged to use further.

Now if we can just drag Bill Watterson and Gary Larson out of retirement, we may again have comics that are worth reading.

"Doonesbury" at its worst is still better than 80% of most daily comics out there.

Replacing Diane with Rebecca was inspired, but I think bringing in Woody when Coach (Nicholas Colasanto) died — and the whole Woody/Kelly romance sidestory — did far more for the show.

You were aware that the team name — Cubs — is actually an acronym?
Stands for Completely Useless By September.

Pix of him on the hoverboard or it never happened, and he was roughed, cuffed, and stuffed for being just another uppity black rapper.

I was born in 1954.  It's not my fault that new music was turning into schidtt after the mid-1980s.

Be a TV show first, then become musicians — like the Monkees and The Partridge Family.

We had a taste of that at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.  50,000 vuvuzelas!!

"Looking Out My Back Door" (the old Creedence Clearwater Revival song) had a couple that were rather odd…..

If I had the money, it would already be mine.
And I am capable of doing the re-assembly.
Perfectly.

Not a word about the Whirling Dervishes of Fawz U. playing the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in order to soothe the ruffled feathers of the Sheikh and recover a downed U-2 pilot in "John Goldfarb, Please Come Home"?

It might also have been that a normal CD jewelbox could be easily slipped into a pocket, but a 12-inch-tall Longbox was a little harder to smuggle out of the store in your jeans.

It's a fairly accurate cover.  But this singer — at least in this sample — doesn't deliver the power of Shirley Bassey.

With "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" Mel Brooks was doing nothing more than revisiting the '70s.  Or had you forgotten his 1975 TV series which also skewered the Robin Hood legend, "When Things Were Rotten"?

Disagree with your assessment that the 'Andy Travis' character is the one that is referenced in the theme from WKRP.  I always figured the theme was more about the "Johnny Fever" (Howard Hesseman) character because the lyrics seem to be talking about an on-air personality who has been bouncing from station to station;…

And then there's the product placement that seemed good at the time but causes head-scratching today.  A perfect example is the Pan-Am logo on the Earth-to-space-station shuttle in 1968's "2001: A Space Odyssey".
