The night of October 28, 1990 was a night when unexpected greatness touched many of our lives. You see, that was the night of a momentous television event for young, impressionable Gen Xers like myself. Boomers might remember where they were when man touched down on the moon, but my generation can tell you exactly … Continue reading Kelly Bounces Back

Lost and Found: Jane
Oh, sweet, sweet Jane! Today’s curio pick is an obscure British live-action/animated hybrid which aired two series in 1982 and 1984, titled Jane and Jane in the Desert, respectively.

Pfive Alarm Baby Pfeiffer Pfire
In which Baby Pfeiffer plays sexy, dumb, and drunk. One of Michelle Pfeiffer’s earliest roles was in the ridiculous 1981 telefilm Callie & Son.

Harley
I’ve been plowing through the Harley Quinn animated series on HBO. I’m absolutely loving it, especially how hilarious, twisted, raunchy, and R rated it can be.

And which one of Charlie’s Angels was the hottest? Personally, I’ve always … Continue reading The Foxiest Angel
Late Night Memories: Sizzle Kisses
It’s another Friday night in 1991 where I’m home watching USA Up All Night with my favorite late night date, the bubbly and bodacious Rhonda Shear. Rhonda is never anything short of absolutely, positively scrumpdillyicious in every single episode she hosts, but some nights still stand out in my nostalgic memory banks as particularly tasty. … Continue reading Late Night Memories: Sizzle Kisses
Bad Girls We Love: Regina “Reggie” Holland in Silk Stalkings
In which actress (and total smoke show) Carol Huston steals our hearts in a memorably sexy guest spot on a beloved nineties television series. If I could travel back in time to 1992, I'd tell my teenage self that he'd still be obsessing over this woman thirty-odd years later, and he'd reply, "Well, DUH! Of … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Regina “Reggie” Holland in Silk Stalkings
