There was an ad for the end of DC’s Final Night event years ago that showed all the heroes holding little green flames as if in tribute.

Of course, they DO have writers, though they mostly focus on those feature segments and scripted stuff for the hosts. I think it was during the writers' strike in 2007-08 when Tom Bergeron's show-ending banter went from stuff like "Wayne Newton, your cha-cha-cha had the judges saying more-more-more, but did the

Bolingbroke took my joke, so I'm editing this comment to say that I always loved that Ralph's father was named Mickey Malph.

Much like how "What a Fool Believes" gets a pass for Jack McBrayer's "Oh Tracy, You Can't Use Any Of My Songs."

Her fluff-piece People magazine interview — "First Look: Meghan Trainor Writing Song for The Peanuts Movie – See Her as a Cartoon Character!" — was this to the extreme. She had five (5) questions, and somehow managed to botch all of the answers except the second, about seeing herself as a Peanuts character ("Isn't it

There's only one scene I really remember in the (justifiably) short-lived ABC sitcom In Case of Emergency. Donna (Jane Seymour) is the mother of Jason (David Arquette), the childhood friend of Harry (Jonathan Silverman). Long story short, Seymour plays the cougar again, leading to a moment when Donna drops a pillow at

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Star Wars Episode VII: Jedi Power Gettin' Stronger

Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. Somehow my only memories of it are:
1. The two women there with two young boys — the only other people in the theater, and the only reason I wasn't yelling at the screen.
2. Kat's failed attempt to change into the Pink Ranger by saying "Zeo Ranger One: Pink!"
3. Hilary Shepard Turner's

Yeah, “I Should Be So Lucky” came out in the U.S. shortly before “The Loco-Motion” blew up, and then she disappeared in the U.S. for years.

Kylie Minogue. The video for "I Should Be So Lucky" seared itself into my brain at exactly the right/wrong time in my life.

She's a UNLV grad who, almost immediately after her 2014 graduation, got a job with the One America News Network in California. She became Internet famous in 2015 for her rant about the shootings in Tennessee that killed four Marines. Her segment on the network was packaged and shared online as something like "TV

It was NBC, and the SCUD stud was Arthur Kent. (Thank you, NBC Saturday Night Live reruns, for showing that February 1991 Alec Baldwin episode a few weeks ago and reminding me that Arthur Kent existed.)

Also Team Connie. God bless 25-year-old JoAnn Willette for playing a 14-year-old like a champ.

Paste Magazine's list of the top 10 Squidbillies characters puts Dan Halen at No. 1 and never once mentions Granny. To this day I think that list is some sort of elaborate joke at the readers' expense.

I grew up in an era where Rickles and Steve Lawrence were the Ed McMahon and Dick Clark of ABC's Bloopers knockoff, Foul-Ups, Bleeps and Blunders. What made me a fan of Rickles…somehow the show got on the subject of tongue-twisters, and Rickles was able to get through "She sits upon the sheets; it's sheets she sits

Nitpick: It was a Kaiser, and he knew it was a Kaiser — "the best damn $17 I ever spent."

They did a reunion special years later where Ed O'Neill said that was the No. 1 question fans asked him about the show. He chalked it up to "the grass is always greener," but I always assumed it was mostly that he had no energy from his diet of Tang Wipes and toaster crumbs. (Note that he actually starts chasing Peg

Born December 1975, episode aired October 1989. My mind was blown too; I was assuming at least 18 because COME ON LOOK AT HER
