My name: LevoisWhen wrestling was actually worth something. A time when there were three big wrestling companies competing for viewing eyes. Then one day there was only one company and wrestling started to get stale fast.
I miss this era when the original ECW actually has national TV exposure on the network once known as TNN or The Nashville Network (and they would become The National Network and then Spike). It was a great hour of wrestling everyweek I could watch at a reliable time, they still had their own syndicated programming that aired on TV stations around the nations. Then the WWF came to TNN and ECW was forced off and not too long after WWF aired their programming on TNN, ECW was a memory.
I really miss those days!

3:26 PM - At Last the 1948 Show - Let's Speak English
This show came along before Monty Python's Flying Circus premiered in Britain. Know that two Python regulars John Cleese and Graham Chapman came from this show and there may not be much resemblance to Monty Python, however, I post this because this sketch was damned funny. Hmm there should be some ripoffs of this sketch.

11:22 AM - Brian Setzer Orchestra - Hawaii Five O
Because I have been able to watch this classic series on Chicago's WWME-TV channel 23, I have become a fan. They really don't make TV series like this anymore. I suppose that's OK because well it gives those of us who came later a chance to miss something.
Anyway what you're going to see is a rendition of the Hawaii Five-0 theme by Brian Setzer, and it's pretty good. Check out this description...

10:39 PM - The Adventures of Batman & Robin
I miss the 1990s sometimes. At least the elementary school/high school years. When I was in the 7th Grade I can come home at about 3 or 4 in the afternoon and the animated Batman series would be one. And this is the theme that I would take from this era.

10:16 PM - James Bond Gunbarrel - Banarby Jones
Away from the monotony of mobile phone pics and back to some random YouTube videos. For some reason I got to looking for any YouTube video of Barnaby Jones, an old TV series from the 70s starring Buddy Ebsen (who you may know from The Beverly Hillbillies). I just so happened to find this splicing of the James Bond gunbarrel opening and the Barnaby Jones theme. And it makes sense.
Back to posting pictures from Greyhound terminals and eventually pics of my trip to Austin, Texas soon!

3:51 PM - Pizza Hut - Super Supreme (Commercial, 1980)
I really enjoyed the look back provided by this YouTube user fuzzymemories. I really enjoyed this Pizza Hut commercial. It was about 1995 or so that even having lived in Chicago just about all my life that I started eating Chicago style pizza. Before that point it would have always been Pizza Hut and it would have been at a Pizza Hut on Cottage Grove until that place was closed and torn down in the last decade.

11:01 AM - STAR TREK 2nd PILOT Deleted Scenes
This is a piece of Star Trek history. If you even see this episode called "Where No Man Has Gone Before", you would not see most of these scenes and titles. It would be what amounts to be a conventional Star Trek episode that most of us are most familiar with.
BTW, check out the Trek Movie Report. That where I get most of my news regarding the next Star Trek movie that is to open Christmas 2008. There are other Trek links I'd like to share but for now that last one is all you get.

7:34 AM - Homicide: Life on the Streets
A very chilling clip a teenage murder suspect. See who else he wanted to off. Almost sad that this is really the first time I paid attention to Homicide. I heard good things about this show.

4:48 PM - Chappelle's Show - Ex-Girlfriend Revenge
I said that I was going to post some Dave Chappelle material. I also posted some Dave Chappelle material which is more fitting for my other blog. I hope you enjoy this one.
Oh my this video is terrible, but I suppose worth it depending on how two people break up.

12:42 PM - Doctor Who - Robot - Classic Clip
Thanks to YouTube, I've become a Doctor Who fan. I do barely recall this series being shown on Channel 11 WTTW back in the 80s but I was too young to understand the show. Now I'm at the mode where I can appreciate it better. It took me a while to understand Star Trek for sure.
BTW, I saw Tom Baker's last appearance as The Doctor (as he is often referred to in the series)in the episode Logopolis where he fell to his death and regenerated into Peter Davison who became the next Doctor. Tom Baker was said to be very popular and many fans were sad to see him go. This being the first time I ever watched him in a full episode I was even sad.
This video was from Baker's first episode Robot. The ending of this particular clip is pretty unusual. You might like it. Might even give you a smile.

11:32 PM - Keep your butt in school!!!
When I was in Texas during the Christmas holidays I just so happened to catch up with In Living Color. This show was years ahead of it's time and I wish that this show could come back in some way shape or form. The time is ripe for black ethnic themed sketch comedy show. And hopefully it's better than many of today's programming geared towards a black audience.
Either way you will love this sketch. The ranting and raving of non-sense by this man played by Damon Wayans is hilarious, but you'll love the message. A take off sort of from the United Negro College Fund so aptly renamed for the purposes of this sketch.
In Living Color aired between 1990 and 1994 and the only contemporary of this show I see today is Chapelle's Show. That's one show that has me rolling every now and then. It would be great if I search YouTube enough that I'll find me a great clip from that Comedy Central program. It's just unfortunate that you don't see that on broadcast TV.

1:34 PM - Denis Leary Merry F'n Christmas
Warning!!! This video may be offensive. Other that that you should get a good laugh from this video. Or at least I did.
Oh and on that note. Merry Christmas, enjoy this day in spite of this video.
