If A Poodle Had A Lid On

Out of all the things that I could post right now, here's what I'm choosing:

I know nothing of the comic book franchise that is Iron Man, but I can certainly tell you that they made a FANTASTIC movie about him. Paul and I saw it last night (yay, date night!) and we both absolutely loved it. I didn't look at my watch once, Robert Downey Jr. was awesome, just fantastic all around.

After that we came home and watched 30 Days of Night...less good...I thought they maybe could have done something better with it but it sure did scare me...before bed I had to go get the quilt out of the dryer in the basement and I made Paul come with me.

Also in the media genre: It is well known that I have this weird obsession thing with WKRP in Cincinnatti. You may not even remember this sitcom but it was possibly the best one ever and its NEVER in reruns on TV and I would like to know WHY! Anyway, if you do remember the show, remember the closing theme? Not the awesome sweet opening theme (Baby, if you ever wonder...*sighs happily*) but the weird, unintelligible closing one? I've read before that the reason you can't understand the lyrics to it are because there are none, the guy just randomly sang into the microphone, but that is obviously wrong because my friend Chris sent me this:

It used to be on in syndication all the time, it seems, until maybe the early 90s. I'm guessing even reruns have a certain lifespan to them. :)

Have you tried the Adobe Air application? CBS has a number of older shows in their archives on it to watch for free (Twilight Zone, Hawaii 5-0, etc.), and WKRP may be one of them.

I loved (loved, loved, loved) WKRP. My whole family watched that show. The Girl has already quoted my hands-down favorite line. You should start some kind of petition to get it back on the air. I'd sign it!

I wonder if you can rent the seasons ....

the girl said...

Why YES, you can buy the first season on DVD...

Useless Trivia...when we saw Michael Buble at US Bank Arena in Cincy this year, he sand a snippet from the theme song.

the girl said...

SANG, dammit, not "Sand"...

Jennifer Lavin said...

Wow, I didn't think Michael Buble could get any sexier but ta-da there it is!

Oh, and Barb I FORGOT about that one! That one is great too!

We've got 4 episodes coming on TV next week so maybe its going to be on regularly now, who knows?
