My life is so pathetic, I just put "AV Club Commenting" into my calendar for 3:30 tomorrow to be sure I don't forget to check it out.

Believe it or not, I knew this without having to look it up. I actually have the 45 of this tune!

Cool.

…and Larry Groce did "Junk Food Junkie". They need a fact checker.

I actually bought it a little bit because (long story alert) when I was in college, Al Gore visited campus as part of the second Bill Clinton campaign, and a small group from the local Catholic church was holding a, dare I say, respectful anti-abortion silent protest outside the venue. A bunch of students, including…

That triggered the first of my litany of "What?", "That doesn't make any sense!", "Huh?", "Really?", etc.

Let me give it a try: I have fond memories of seeing this as a teenager with my friend who I secretly had a crush on. The combination of a truly scary movie, cute guy, and being 14 years old left an indelible impression 30+ years later.

I wonder if these guys know the Commodores?

I hope you're kidding.

So is this movie aimed at kids or adults? I'd actually like to see a version that accurately portrays the period.
The "Little House" books were my absolute favorite as a child, and I was the perfect demographic for the TV show. After watching about 3 episodes, I realized that the series did not follow the books (which…

Most notably with the story of raising money to send Mary to a school for the blind, which in reality was paid for by the state.
(I'm a LIW nerd, I'm sure I'll be posting more below!)

Remember that amazing Saturday night lineup? Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart show, and Carol Burnett. And maybe not a classic, but my brother and I never missed Emergency! to start the evening.

I was literally cringing at several points at the stilted and unnatural dialogue. This episode just didn't work for me, despite a few high points.

I cried when the last show aired. I was ten.

I was going to update the avatar on my original AVC account quite a while back, but couldn't figure out how, and ended up making a new Disqus account. They use the same password, so once in a while I'll post under my original account for old times sake.

I heard the NPR report on Morning Edition before 8 am, and immediately came here to look for an announcement. I had a clever comment all ready to go, but it took them 4 hours to get anything posted, and I had other stuff to do.

A few years ago my boss walked off the lip of the stage in the auditorium after a presentation in front of the entire college staff. Basically shattered her ankle. That was much more hardcore than anything I ever expected in my job.

The Eagles get a lot of shit here, but they were the first contemporary band I liked as a pre-teen, so this hits me hard. So glad I finally got to see them last year and thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgia-fest that tour was.
BTW, Bruce, maybe check in with your doctor just in case?

Just heard it, too. Glad I finally saw the Eagles last year. RIP.

I visited family a couple weeks ago who recently moved to Chanhassen, and we drove by the studio. I was extremely disappointed in the facility's lack of funkiness. The only indication that it's not a generic corporate headquarters is a couple of purple landscape lights highlighting the entrance.
