In Yankeeland, where we stopped caring two weeks into the season, the Bombers won a nine inning game with only one hit. Yay?

Once upon a time the Indy 500 was a huge event in these United States. Today I completely forgot it was on.

Ain't nobody here but us chickens diehards.

It's been the highest rated show on Comedy Central for almost it's entire run.

"TED KOPPEL IS A WAFFLE."

As soon as Trebek read FJ, I knew the hope for a late Buzzy comeback was kaput. To his credit, he took it with the same good humor that he took his wins.

Shame about the mediocre ratings for SNL as it may have been the best episode of the season.

"Edgar Allan Poe's story about treasure buried on an island helped inspire this 1883 novel"

What They Were Probably Promoting on Carson (26 Jun 1976):

One of the best things about Carey Mulligan is that if you don't enjoy her the first time you see her, you get a second chance at it.

My favorite Bill Hader recurring character was Vincent Price. It was just so different and weird and unexpected.

What They Were Probably Promoting on Carson (2 Aug 1978):

WOW, I remembered to refresh the page this time. Good for me! Anyway…

Dave: “I always wanted to say this. I will bet it all.”

My guess was "microbes".

Buzzy evoking Henry V in his FJ answer to taunt Trebek was delightfully irritating.

Dayum Ken Jennings, that was quick! I bet when the producers of 500 Questions made him the first contestant, they had the expectation that he would last more than TWO segments. It was a bad gamble because I’ll bet I wasn’t the only one to change the channel as soon as he was eliminated.

I don't know if it's my favorite, but back in the day the end of The Breakfast Club was pretty great. It's been parodied to death, but at the time it really encapsulated the spirit of the decade in which it was made.

On the other hand, it's free. (If I had to suss out the complete quality of every link I post, I would post very few links. It's a time issue.)
