some stuff and some other stuff.

Slow week on the site, I know. Don't worry, bidness will be a'pickin' up next week -- three new articles between this weekend and the next, and absolutely none of them having to do with Italian thumb wrestling or Crayola crayons. Next article's looking pretty saha-wank so far.

Oh, an early request: I'm gearing up for the coming X-E Halloween season. Had shitloads of fun doing last year's Halloween Countdown and I can't wait to get on the ball with that again this year -- especially because the length of the daily entries won't preclude me from actually letting them be "daily." Loads of fun stuff planned, stay tuned. My request: if anyone out there has any Halloween materials they think I might be able to use on the site, please e-mail me. (feel free to use this link to do so) I don't have very many specifics on what I'm looking for, but here's a few: Halloween television specials, Halloween commercials (these can be in file format or on VHS), Halloween-inspired print ads, so on and so on. If it looks like something that would be on X-E during the Halloween season and you're willing to part with it, lemme know. Oh, please don't post what you've got in the comments section -- kinda ruins the surprise for everyone else if I use it. :crazy:

To close things out, another survey topic: name your five favorite television shows ever, in any order. Did we already do this one? Oh well.

Quantum Leap
Babylon 5

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe (excrutiating now, but I think the level of enthusiasm I felt for this show when I was 4 eclipses anything I’ve felt for a TV series since…!)

1. Dave Letterman when he was on NBC.
2. It’s Gary Shandling’s Show
3. The old Howard Stern show from WWOR.
4. The Morton Downey, Jr. Show (pablum pukers!!!) (may he R.I.P)
5. Yo! MTV Raps! (when Fab 5 Freddy was the host)

Honorable mentions to the Ren & Stimpy Show; 120 Minutes (pre-1992, when alternative was still alternative and you could see videos from the likes of Joy Division, New Order, They Might Be Giants, the Cure, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, etc.); U.S.A. Cartoon express (from the early 90s when they replayed the old Fat Albert episodes followed by the Hanna-Barbera shorts of Huckleberry Hound, Pixie & Dixie & Mr. Jinx the cat); Iron Chef and of course (snore) the Simpsons.

Chestnuts roasted by Pedro @ 08/25/2004 2:14 PM

Oh, and DeGrassi Jr. High, and not the new Nickelodeon crap (sorry Matt), I’m talking the days when Wheels and Snake used to star and Joey wore fedoras and polyester shirts every day.

Chestnuts roasted by Pedro @ 08/25/2004 2:17 PM

This could be brutal, but i’ll give it a shot.

Saved by the bell
Full House
Fresh prince
Salute your shorts
and…south park.

there’s plenty more, but hey, i can only put 5. by the way matt, you need to see the movie "the invisible maniac" ASAP. you will never be the same.

Chestnuts roasted by Adam @ 08/25/2004 2:18 PM

Unsolved Mysteries – (yay Lucy!)
ATHF
The Cosby Show
Simpsons – (of course)
Three’s Company

Of course there are more, but these are the ones that I was really really excited when it was time for them to come on originally. Some just make me say MEH since they’ve become syndicated, but only because I’ve seen them 3,000,000,000 times. Oh and Pedro, I would have to agree about when Dave was on NBC. Probably best around ’86 – ’89

Chestnuts roasted by Blah...blah @ 08/25/2004 2:24 PM

cant leave out rescue 911, with the theme music bill shatner, it’s gravy from there. also "family" matters, also "starcade", and "GUTS" on nickelodeon(sp) with that chick with the annoying british accent. okay, just 2 more, i promise (for this post). "where in the world is carmen sandiego", and "legends of the hidden temple".

Chestnuts roasted by Adam @ 08/25/2004 2:28 PM

Blah…Blah,

No doubt about late 80s Letterman on NBC. I used to tape it every night and watch all of them in a row on Friday nights with my friends (we were in Jr. High at the time, so we weren’t really interested yet in going out, getting drunk and hooking up.) Who can forget when Larry "Bud" Melman made regular appearances on the show, race the Pope, Biff Henderson’s golf cart of death. Those were the days . . .

Chestnuts roasted by Pedro @ 08/25/2004 2:30 PM

The Muppet Show
Fraggle Rock (yes, I loved anything Jim Henson)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The A-Team
You Can’t Do That On Television

Though I admit, I did like the stupid (original) Degrassi series growing up.
