I could have sworn that you were struggling to remember what happened in "The Cutting Edge" after you had watching it decades ago in the immediate wake of suffering a serious head injury. But a quick look on IMDB tells me that it's real, it's from relatively recently (2000), and it involved Nancy Kerrigan along with…

I love interviews like this. I loved "Eureeka's Castle" as a kid. It continued to be my "home sick from school" show as I grew older, and as Goosebumps became more and more of a juggernaut, I'd catch R.L. Stine in the end credits and think, "No way…" Well now my childhood suspicion is confirmed thanks to the…

Ah yes, I'm surprised I forgot to mention that earlier (see above). The especially awful thing was that there were a surprising number of episodes that directly addressed it!

Man, between "Land Before Time" and "Eureeka' Castle", what WAS it with Pizza Hut and dubious rubber hand puppets? (I wasn't aware of the Eureeka's"ones so I can only assume they were of the same "quality" of the LBT ones?)

I can't even imagine. If you remember the reason, please tell us.

"David the Gnome" is on Amazon Prime (though difficult to find as the individual episodes are annoyingly listed as movies rather than having the whole series as a TV show) and I am happy to say that it holds up. Awesome source material and a deep respect for it helps.

If nothing else, "Pinwheel" was a terrific mini-film festival of oftentimes gorgeous and fascinatingly strange international animation.

My theory as to why so many of us found "Today's Special" in general and Jeff the mannequin specifically so unsettling is that in most children's shows, the character the kids are meant to relate to the most is often a child or a nonhuman (ie, the most famous example Big Bird). In other words, clearly not a "grown…

Even so, the kids who got amusement out of throwing dirt at their siblings probably needed to watch "Fraggle Rock" the most.

You'd like the local soft-rock station that plays the Unplugged "Layla" with the piano coda from the original grafted onto the end.

When I was younger I had no idea the Unplugged version and the original version were at all different approaches to the same song.

I thought it was "Dig how they celebrate"?

By far the funniest use of "Semi-Charmed Life" in a trailer was "The Tigger Movie".

Muybridge references for the waffles.

The fact that Bono of all people would perform in-character as this interplanetary trickster character is a nice encapsulation of just how fucking strange the 1990's were.

Yeah, I should've clarified that I meant "Star Wars" as the massive unstoppable franchise juggernaut/expansive imagined universe/overenthusiastic marketing orgy we know today.

The New Kids on the Block did the very first Halftime Show I ever cared about at (just past) their peak, so there would be sort of a precedent for Beiber.

This is where I mention that I am so happy to be completely out of the loop RE: Amanda Palmer, who she is, and why everyone seems to hate her guts.

Combining this idea and A Limousine and a Peet-Zah's:

I didn't see this but God damn do I wish I had now. Holy shit…
