Shaun Cassidy
Shaun Cassidy I was crushing hard on Leif Garrett when Shaun Cassidy became popular. I remembered his older half-brother David from the early 70’s. (David Cassidy from The Partridge Family.) Shaun seemed to be repeating the same teen idol status as David, but I could never get into him. I always thought he looked too […]
Spin Offs
Spin Offs Spin Offs fascinate me. (It doesn’t take much.) I think I’m fascinated with them because I’m not usually aware that they’re a spin-off (or I don’t remember) until someone mentions it. Check out the below shows. I’ll bet you’re surprised at a few yourself. Successful Spin Offs I’m going to take a guess […]
The Captain & Tennille
The Captain & Tennille The Captain & Tennille is a guilty pleasure of mine. I also love Barry Manilow, Clay Aiken, Neil Sedaka, and The Carpenters. I think a lot of people would be embarrassed to admit they like that kind of music. Don’t be embarrassed! Own it! Growing up in the 70’s, I often […]
The Partridge Family Episode #29
The Partridge Family Episode #29 Welcome to my review of The Partridge Family Episode #29! This episode is called The Undergraduate and originally aired on October 8, 1971. FYI, the number one song on the day this episode aired was Maggie May by Rod Stewart. The episode opens with Reuben barbecuing in the backyard with […]
Jordan Knight
Jordan Knight Jordan Knight, the lead singer and heartthrob of New Kids on the Block, turns 50 this year. Does that make him officially old? I knew who the New Kids were when they became popular in the late 80’s, but I was in college and cool and hip. While I didn’t listen to them, […]
2019 Celebrity Deaths
2019 Celebrity Deaths There seemed to be a lot of 2019 Celebrity Deaths. Maybe it’s because I’m older and know more people that it affects me deeper. Maybe it’s because I’m older than some of the people we lost last year. I am writing this blog as a way to remember those we lost in […]
Duran Duran
Duran Duran Were you a fan of the 80’s band Duran Duran? I know some of their songs, but I wasn’t a huge fan. I was into jazz music mainly during that time but I do remember liking some pop groups. There was Wham, Lionel Richie, Rick Springfield, Whitney Houston, Howard Jones, and Debarge. That’s […]
The Brady Bunch Episode #28
The Brady Bunch Episode #28 Welcome to my review of The Brady Bunch Episode #28! This episode is entitled The Slumber Caper and originally aired on October 9, 1970. The main thing I remember about this episode is that we get to see Marcia cry. Again. The show opens with the girls nervously waiting at […]
Little House on the Prairie
Little House on the Prairie As I begin this Little House on the Prairie blog, Sideshow by Blue Magic is playing in the background. This was a hit in 1974 and one of my sister Lori’s favorite songs. A whole lot has happened in the 45+ years since that song went to #1 on the […]
The Jonas Brothers
The Jonas Brothers The below blog was written several years ago when The Jonas Brothers first hit the scene: The Jonas Brothers are comprised of Kevin, Joe, and Nick. They seem like nice boys. I don’t know a whole lot about them but I have seen them on Ellen. They seem very sweet and talented. […]
Matt LeBlanc
Matt LeBlanc Whenever I think of Matt LeBlanc, I think of the following statement: JOEY DOESN’T SHARE FOOD! Hahahaha! I love the TV show Friends. I watch it at least twice a day. It is so awesome. There isn’t a bad character on that show. Phoebe always makes me laugh with her songs, I love […]
Philip McKeon
Philip McKeon Philip McKeon always reminded me of an Osmond brother. I think it was the teeth. I loved watching him on Alice when I was a kid. He was a cutie pie. I loved the brother and sister combo of him and Nancy McKeon but never really noticed the resemblance between the two. I […]
