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.
