Watching the oldies but goodies

by

While I was lying on the couch earlier today trying to recover from the severe pain I was in last night and trying to sleep I scanned through the channels and I came across a station that was playing really old television shows.

I watched episodes of Lassie, Happy Days, Maude, and All in the family – remember Archie Bunker? I haven’t seen any of those shows in ages! You know, shows like All in the Family are still funny today. Yeah it was a politically incorrect show, but it had it’s funny moments.

It was sad to think that the majority of the cast that I saw on All in the Family are long gone. It just goes to show how old that show really is I guess!

Do you ever scan the channels and stop to watch an old show that you might not have seen since you were a kid?





Cavemen – new fall tv show

by

I was reading this weeks People magazine earlier today and they had a section talking about new television shows for the Fall season. Did you know that there’s going to be a show based on the Geiko Cavemen commercials???

Yeah, it’s called Cavemen and it premieres on ABC on Tuesday, October 2nd at 8 p.m.. It’s about three cavemen who’ve struggled to acclimate themselves into urban society and their lives in San Diego CA.

From the shows website:

Meet three cavemen who have successfully made the move to San Diego and are just trying to fit in. Joel (Bill English) is a sophisticated and intelligent man who has a beautiful girlfriend, a decent job and shares an apartment with his younger brother, Andy (Sam Huntington, Superman Returns), and his best friend, Nick (Nick Kroll, VH1’s Best Week Ever). Nick is wary of the Homo sapien world and feels like he’s running away from his heritage. Andy, on the other hand, looks at this new world with his eyes wide open and is willing to take risks in order to learn and to live life to the fullest.

Nick questions Joel on many of his choices, including his girlfriend, Kate (Kaitlin Doubleday, The TV Set), a beautiful Homo sapien woman and high society southern belle. The fact that Kate’s eccentric mother, Leslie (Julie White, Tony Award winner for The Little Dog Laughed), owns Joel’s condominium complex makes things even more complicated for the three roommates. Meanwhile, Kate’s best friend, Thorne (Stephanie Lemelin), is intent on discovering the cavemen’s wilder side.

Joel, Nick and Andy have to overcome prejudice from most of the Homo sapien world and the misconceptions that modern society has of its earliest ancestors. In order for these cavemen to survive in the 21st century, they must work together to render those misconceptions extinct.

I really don’t know if this show will go over well or not. I think it will have to be pretty funny to make it. I don’t know what the full Tuesday line up of shows will be, but I expect this show will have some heavy competition.

What do you think? Will you check out this show or not?

We’ll wait no longer!

Wordless Wednesday

No service!

There’s been a few times I’ve felt like doing this in a restaurant. Sometimes even other places of business too … Nothing like sitting there watching everyone else eat when you’re hungry and the waiter or waitresses are rushing by, but somehow continue to ignoring you.

Dancing racing … peppers?

Usually it’s hot peppers making people dance, or well maybe dash off to the washroom, but in this case it was the peppers that we dashing, dancing and racing!

I think it was the 7th inning of the baseball game when, during a short break, three Ranchero peppers came out to entertain the crowd. I’ve seen them do this before so this must be a regular feature for “Ranchero dip” .

The music that was played during the “big race” was la Cucoracha (I think). It was amusing to say the least. There were three peppers racing in all, but the yellow pepper got tripped early in the race. As you can see in this blurry photo the green pepper was in the lead and he? won the race.
