tv on dvd

Woo Hoo!

WKRP in Cincinnati to come out on dvd

It's a shame that they'll have to make some music substitutions from the original airings, but it sounds like they're taking pains to make careful and appropriate choices.

Whoo!

I was at a meeting recently where I likened a situation to the WKRP episode with the drunk driving test where Johnny Fever got better and faster the drunker he got. Unfortunately, I was surrounded by a group of staff in their 20somethings. You know, there actually IS a cutoff point to pop cultural knowledge? They all stared at me blankly. Even after I said "As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly"?? Nothing. So sad.

I've sent them this link, so they can educate themselves. Also, the YouTube link. :)

Hey now, not all of us 20 somethings are so horribly ignorant of our cultural touchstones.

But . . . you're YOU. That's totally different.

I swear, FOUR blank looks. And at least one of them a Whedonite! And another I'm sure is a fan-type at least to some degree. I was so ashamed.

The young'uns today (with some notable exceptions ;)) just have no idea what they're missing. It's very sad.

I'm also feeling older and older all the time.

One of my very favorites. It's probably not as funny to those who too young to remember the days when AT&T/Bell was THE monolith. Well, I guess they kinda are getting there again, but there is at least more than one phone company nowadays.
