From Sippy Cups to Car Keys
I love this Statefarm commercial! It sums up the way parents feel perfectly. One day our kids are drinking from their sippy cups and then they’re asking for the car keys! Time does fly. Watch the commercial all the way to the very end for the hilarious payoff! I really like the kid because he looks…
James at 15
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….

Little Brother
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…

Solid Gold was TV show from 1980 to 1989 that featured the “solid gold dancers” (see photo) that performed jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring choreography for the top songs that week. OK, I might be exaggerating a tad there. I think it helped young men get thru puberty if you…
