I've discussed this before, but the vast supply of programming available to kids today, not to mention internet and video games, prevents them from seeing the classics like these. With just 3 networks and nothing else but the great outdoors, we had little choice.<br />>Thumbs up on that Brothers and Sisters ad featuring awesome Jack Davis artwork >too!<br />Great catch!

I actually just watched The Longest Yard about 3 nights ago, one of my all time faves. <br /><br />And what a great weekend of horror with Abbott & Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde on Saturday, and The Creeping Flesh on Sunday!

Siri, find this for me on youtube, STAT!<br /><br />as a youngster obsessed with battlestar galactica, i can testify that the Count Ibliss storyline kind of blew chunks. but it’s always cool to see Frazetta’s sci-fi/fantasy mashup.<br /><br />wow, i know nothing about the Super Bowl, but i totally remember watching Black Sunday. hooray for the 70s obsessions with disaster flicks!<br /><br />i don’t understand how a 1979 show can be about george burns’ 100th birthday party when he died in 1996… at 100. come on, 1970s — i know the drugs were prominent back then, but SERIOUSLY.<br /><br />a slipcover sale??
