We've Still Got Some Big Questions For Inspector Gadget Even After All These Years

By Tanya
Truth be told, I loved Inspector Gadget. The show was one of my all-time favorites when I was a kid, and the theme song still pops into my head from time to time. But just because I loved it, doesn't mean that I don't think it had some issues. I do, however, have some questions for Mr. Gadget, ones that still confuse me to this day. (And yes, I know it's a cartoon and it's best to not examine it too closely, but just for fun, let's do it anyways.) How did Gadget actually get his job? If he's a

California Raisins Creator Has Passed Away At 70

By Awa
When the California Raisin Advisory Board (yes, it's a real organization) couldn't figure out a way to convince people to eat more raisins during the 80s, they decided that a band of claymation raisins dancing and singing "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," was the solution to the problem.  They appeared in a bunch of commercials, an Emmy Award-winning holiday special, a mockumentary-style movie, partnered with Michael Jackson, and eventually landed their very own cartoon show. The purple R&B singers also had a video game, board game, and figurines, and appeared on mugs, hats, books, backpacks, lunch boxes,

5 Characters "Evicted" From 'Sesame Street' That You Completely Forgot Existed

By Tanya
I think was can all agree that Sesame Street continues to be the most important show out there for kids. It's been around since 1969, but having aired for 48 seasons, there have obviously been a lot of changes. While many of the iconic characters like Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Elmo remain on the show as regulars, there are a lot of characters that aren't as famous, some have even been completely forgotten over the years. It's often a subtle change, but when you really look at it, you'll realize that some of the characters you remembered have left

'The Thorn Birds' Stars Reveal What It Was Like To Film The Iconic Miniseries

By Tanya
There are a lot of television shows and movies that people remember from the "good ol' days," but when it comes to miniseries, there aren't many that we remember. But there was one miniseries that seemed to completely sweep the nation, and that was the 10-hour drama The Thorn Birds. The miniseries was based on the book of the same name, written by novelist Colleen McCullough. But how did a story about sheep farmers become the second-highest rated miniseries ever? Well, the cast revealed what they thought about it in Closer Magazine. "The attraction of doing, or thinking of doing,

Chevy Chase Bashes 'SNL' While Opening Up About His Bad Reputation

By Tanya
Chevy Chase is one of those iconic actors who had their hay day in the eighties, but since then, has seen a huge change in the way the public perceives them. While he was beloved for his Saturday Night Live classics and of course his time as the patriarch of the Griswald family, the actor no longer has the same clout that he used to. He had a brief attempt at a comeback, but if anything, he ended up making everything worse. But now he has spoken with The Washington Post about his career and his controversies, and it really

What year is it again? With the fanny pack as the new "it" bag, Sony bringing back the original PlayStation, the Backstreet Boys releasing new music, and shows like Party of Five returning to our television screens, I don't blame you for double checking that the calendar says 2018, not 1998. There's a serious 90s revival going on at the moment and so many of the things we loved, hated or just loved to hate, are once again becoming part of our lives. At the top of the list of the things that so many of us 90s girls definitely

As we all get older and start having our own families, names start to become something that people consider a little bit more.

The Heartbreaking Tragedy That Changed An Entire Season Of 'Married With Children'

By Tanya
Watching Married...With Children was always a real family event. Your whole family tended to gather around the TV and laugh with the Bundy family, and appreciate them for being different than the typical TV family. Normally, families on television always seem to be so proper and put together, but not the Bundys. They were a little bit more wild, a bit more brash, and certainly crazier than the other options on TV. We all connected with their stories, because Al, Peggy, Kelly, and Bud felt like a real dysfunctional family, which was much more relatable than a family that

Mario Lopez & Tiffani Thiessen Reunite, Reveal What Their Kids Think About Their Iconic Show

By Tanya
I think we can all agree that Saved By The Bell is one of the most iconic shows of the 90s. Watching Zack Morris and friends navigate through their time at Bayside High was so formative for so many of us. Although, while we found ourselves completely addicted to to the show, the actors who actually played the characters had an even deeper connection. Mario Lopez and Tiffani Thiessen recently appeared together on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. If you watch the show even once, you know that Mario Lopez played A.C. Slater, and Tiffani Thiessen was the one and
