It was never goodbye. It seems that whenever Dick Clark signed off for any of his broadcasts, it would be with his traditional salute and his familiar “This is Dick Clark… so long.” Whether it be the myriad incarnations of the original Pyramid game show, “Bloopers and Practical Jokes” (along side another icon, Ed McMahon), […]
Back in the 1960’s a TV sensation swept the country. With “POWS”, “BAMs” and “SMASHES” Batman made it to television. Everything was bright, colorful and loud. In 1966 there was a spinoff from Batman called “The Green Hornet”. Adapted from a 1930’s radio program, this series (which lasted for 2 years) was a bit darker
After our adventures on our own tour of Times Square, the time was near to get on the bus for our twilight tour. I had never gone on a guided tour of the area so I thought it would be kind of neat to sit back, ride around, and learn about the area. We got

As I read in the newspaper today, I was shocked but not totally surprised that one of my childhood mainstays is being retired. The View-Master is a small plastic toy in which was place a white white wheel full of 3-d pictures. The wheels initially contained scenes of actual places (The Grand Canyon, Disney Parks,

Every so often I write something to try to get some of the lurkers, who read my blog, to stop and say hi. This is another of those posts. I am a numbers person, so I am fascinated by the statistics that are generated for this blog. Some topics seem to bring more people. Books,
The newest Batman movie The Dark Knight has been breaking all kinds of earning records. The powers of the movie industry do not think that Batman will break the current $ record held by Titanic, a movie I never saw by the way (the boat sinks), but it has a good chance of catching up
