What ever happened to good wholesome television?

What ever happened to predictibility?
The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.

Everywhere you look , everywhere you go (there's a heart).
There's a heart
A hand to hold onto.

Everywhere you look , everywhere you go.
There's a face
Of somebody who needs you.

Eveywhere you look,
When you're lost out there and you're all alone,
A light is waiting to carry you home,
Everywhere you look.
Everywhere you look.

I'm wondering where has all the good wholesome television gone. When I was growing up I remember family shows like The Cosby Show, Growing Pains, Family Ties, Full House.






The list goes on. What happened to all of these shows. All I see when I turn on the television now is reality tv and game shows. The only game show I could watch over and over again is The Price is Right and that lost it's touch when Bob Barker retired, it's just not the same anymore with Drew Carey as the host. I appreciate all the old television now on DVD but I'd like something new and fresh to come along. Something that wasn't all about sex, something that ends each episode with sappy music and a hug (Full House). Something that teaches the youth of America some good moral values. I'm just tired of turning on the television and seeing Howie Mandell who used to host a awesome cartoon show called Bobby's World about a boy and his imagination. I feel bad for the youth these days, They have all of this technology but nobody teaching them between right and wrong or respect for one another. I believe that parents play a huge role on teaching them this, but when there is nothing to reinforce it, what's going to happen to them?

Congratulations to the New England Patriots

2.03.2008
I would like to congratulate the New England Patriots for playing a wonderful season. 18 and 0 is something to call home about. The season was supposed to end with the Patriots going 19-0 and winning the Super Bowl,but it didn't happen that way.

In life there are always going to be triumphs and then there are going to be upsets. Nothing is ever going to play out the way that we would like it to. So what do we do, we make adjustments to these upsets and we get over them. We become stronger from every hardship we encounter. What doesn't kill us will make us stronger. We didn't win the Super Bowl, we weren't perfect, but guess what, nobodies perfect. It would of been nice to bring home another Championship. What if we did win and had a perfect season? what would we have to look forward to? nothing. I'm sure there will be people who might come up to us and laugh because our beloved Patriots didn't win the Superbowl, Let them laugh. There is nothing left to prove. We've won before, in fact 3 times in the last 6 years. We had a heck of a season this year, and we will be back next year to go all the way, but remember we don't need to be perfect to win.

There is a group called Improv Everywhere. They do a lot of improv everywhere. You've might of seen one of their videos before. They were the group who froze for five minutes in Home Depot, and are also the group who dressed in blue polo shirts and khaki pants and went into Best Buy. Here is a video of them freezing for 5 minutes in Grand Central Station. Check them out, they are awesome. Their website

Thriller Dance on Subway

2.01.2008
I just saw this video of a group of people doing the thriller dance on the subway and just had to post it. I love observation humor. doing something appropriate but out of the ordinary just to see how people react. you can actually hear a guy in the video talking to someone on the phone telling them what he is seeing on the subway.
