Amen! I just finished reading Moby Dick about three weeks ago. I think the reviewers got it right back in the 1800's. How that didn't get eviscerated by a competent editor, I'll never know. Most of the novel read like a science book, not a work of fiction. Chapter after chapter describing his thoughts on classifying various whales into sub-species, the anatomy of a whale, the whale skeleton, etc... Tedious!
I firmly believe Moby Dick is one of those books people call a classic because they have been told it's a classic.
The fear of peanut butter getting stuck to the roof of your mouth is surprisingly not completely uncommon. It's called arachibutyrophobia. Thanks Boy's Life magazine circa 1979! Never forgot it.
Using Dukes of Hazard and Airwolf as the standard-bearers of 80s TV is equivalent of saying 60s TV sucked because of My Mother the Car and Petticoat Junction; or 70s TV sucked because of Charlie's Angels and the Love Boat; or 90s TV sucked because of Cop Rock. Pointing out low-hanging fruit meant for 12 year-old boys does not define a decade of TV.
Seriously?!?! You found a girl dressed up like Strawberry Shortcake cute? However, I did find the Mom was kinda cute.
Aside from the atrocious writing, the real train wreck was the son, Jamie, and the neighbor girl Harriet Bindle. Both (especially the kid who played Jamie) could...not...act! They were so bad it was mesmerizing. The Dad wasn't so great either. Don't forget Edie McGlurg played Bonnie Brindle too!
I'm surprised they were able to find comments with more than 50 words. "Cowboys Suck!", "Dan Snyder Sucks!", "Go Pack!", "Ravens Rule! Steelers suck!" would seem to me to be the plethora of the comments. Nothing close to 50 words. And they actually were able to garner 150 comments for the Buccaneers? Were they all from the same person?
Disagree...not with the hairdresser part, but the long hair part. I can't get them to cut my SHORT, guy hair either. I assure them it's alright to cut it "finger-width", but I always get pushback. Inevitably, they'll show me the finished cut, and I have to tell them, "shorter". Every...single...time.

Ahhh. Brings back memories of after Kindergarten TV. Good 'ol Kimba.
