Internet. Serious Business.

Unless you are about 50 you saw these shows as re-runs probably when you were a kid. Maybe you never saw them at all, but I remember them because they had “The Amazing Spiderman” on the show. Apparently I was a big Spiderman nerd when I was little.

The Electric Company is an educational American children’s television series that was produced by the Children’s Television Workshop (now called Sesame Workshop) for PBS in the United States. PBS broadcast 780 episodes over the course of its six seasons from October 25, 1971 to April 15, 1977. After it ceased production that year, the program continued in reruns from 1977-1985. CTW produced the show at Teletape Studios Second Stage in Manhattan. No watching this on a Samsung HDTV that’s for sure.

This show was like a competitor to Sesame Street I guess. Obviously it was never as popular, but I did watch the re-runs. It claims to be the place that kids went after they graduated from Sesame Street.

Think this show wasn’t cool? Look at the cast:

The original cast included Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby, Judy Graubart, Lee Chamberlin, and Skip Hinnant.

Yeah…2 legends in Cosby and Freeman.

Electric Company Theme (Far out man…)

Why I watched it…The Amazing Spider Man theme:

While it isn’t often that we will post a music video here, but this one has found its way into our hearts. The music itself is sounds like ti comes from a Rocky movie, and that alone is enough to get on board.

What makes this video so outstanding is what happens at the 0:42 mark. Description alone doesn’t do it justice. Let’s just say that hopefully these guys have good a home insurance quote because they are gonna get hurt.

On a side note…if you actually read the comments on this video at Youtube you will find that there are people that take it as a serious video, and actually give it positive comments instead of ridicule as many of us would.

It is always great for advertising agencies that they have come up with something so great that someone actually believes there should be a TV show made based on them. Baby Bob is one of those shows.

Baby Bob was a character that appeared in some commercials for FreeInternet.com. Some obxolete .cm I imagine, but I remember seein the baby on TV in commercials. In fact people still use this idea. I believe E*Trade or some other online stock service uses it still.

Anyways, the series centered around first-time parents Walter Spencer (Adam Arkin), his wife Lizzy (Joely Fisher) and their six-month-old baby Bob (voiced by Ken Hudson Campbell). After discovering that their son can talk like an adult, Walter decides that the they must keep it a secret. Lizzy, however, wants to show off Bob’s talking skills, especially to her mother Madeline (Holland Taylor) who constantly brags about her other grandchildren. Supporting cast members included Elliot Gould as Walter’s father Sam and Marissa Tait as Bob’s babysitter Teala.

Wheeeeeee….what a great show! Rather watch a quick weight loss show personally.

Unfortunately for you I can’t find the intro vid today.

It has to be one of the biggest fears of soldiers off to war. Leaving your woman behind for a year, or two just hoping that they can stomach it, and remain faithful. For the woman to stay home and wonder about whether their husband/boyfriend is ever going t come back in one piece, or even alive has to be one of the most awful things to deal with.

So…when they do finally come him, it is time to go all out with the welcome home party. This photo below shows just how far some will go to welcome their man back home. This woman certainly hasn’t been taking slimquick extreme review seriously. Oh wait…she’s preggo. How long will it take you to figure out why this picture is so funny?

Welcome Home Daddy

Everyone has seen, and probably enjoyed That ’70s Show. At least up until the past few seasons where everyone got out of high school, and decided to become a bunch of whiny losers with adding a bunch of terrible characters. Surely, the first 3-4 seasons were top notch though.

In true Fox Network style, they tried to capitalize on the success of That ’70s Show in 2002 with an obvious next step: That ’80s Show. They failed miserably. That ’80s Show failed to gain a wide audience and was canceled by Fox after 13 episodes, due to low ratings.

That ’80s Show (Wiki link) was set in 1984, and evolved around the lives of a group of friends living in San Diego, California. I think I saw maybe 1, or 2 episodes, but like everyone else I knew this show was garbage the first time I saw it. Of course i must have gave them a bit of leeway and tuned in for the 2nd episode before I decided it just wasn’t worth it. I would rather spend time searching for deals on lipozene, than bother watching this show again.

This is the intro to the FINAL Episode of the show. #13:
