Renaissance 2.0
I remember enjoying this show called “James at 15” when I was a kid. I thought he (Lance Kerwin) was so cool. What did I know? I think I liked him cause I looked a little like him. Plus, from what I remember, the shows were entertaining and always had some life lesson to learn….
I enjoyed the TV show Family Ties but the episodes where Michael J. Fox’s character falls in love with his soon to be real life wife Tracy Pollen’s character was the show’s high point. Maybe it’s because we know the two actors actually fell in love with each other that adds something special to the…
The intro’s to Disney movies always make me feel good. I get goose bumps and feel like a kid again. I don’t know if it’s because it makes me think of my youth or because it makes me think of my kids and how much we all enjoy Disney/Pixar movies. Perhaps it’s a combination of…
I love this commercial. The kid is obviously a poet. What a sweet class note. Reading is indeed good for children. I don’t know if reading would’ve helped me write as well as this kid did at that age. I think I was still fascinated with the smell of Elmer’s glue. In any event, what…
I had a crush on Marlo Thomas as a very young man, perhaps even a boy still. Hey, Italians deal with puberty earlier than most (I think anyway). I loved her show “That Girl” which was on the air from 1966 to 1971. It centered around a single working girl in the big city, pre-dating…
Commercials don’t have to suck, ya know. They can be wonderful little movies instead of queues to go to the bathroom or fast forward thru in Tivo. Check out this little gem that gets me every single time! The tough little kid has a devious plan and works it to perfection! The music is great…
I love “So You Think You Can Dance” and have enjoyed all four seasons of it! This is their best one yet. Every dancer is so versatile. There are hip hoppers doing amazing ballroom dances and contemporary dancers doing some sick hip hop! Check out this performance last night by Mark and Chelsie who are…
Today is Father’s Day so I’m remembering one of my favorite TV shows ever, “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father” starring Bill Bixby. I’ve always loved that show and I think it was special to me because I grew up without a dad so I always longed for such a relationship. Now that I’ve become a…
Budweiser’s True commercial campaign was a hilarious and infectious marketing phenomenon! It was a prime example of viral marketing in its most powerful form. People loved it and couldn’t wait to share it with their friends and so on. It’s been many years but people old enough still remember the original series of commercials as…
