Dads, pops, patriarchs... no matter the moniker, all fathers have unique styles of raising their offspring. While Ward Cleaver and Mike Brady set some interesting standards, few of us actually grew up with life’s inevitable hurdles being insta
“Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” Seven words that have ushered in a weekly staple for over 45 years; and what began as a ragtag team affectionately known as “The Not Ready For Prime-Time Players” has continually evolved over the decad
It’s a bird... it’s a plane... no, it’s this week's topic! Whether a brooding billionaire with a haunted past; an insecure teen with amazing powers, yet still having to cope with the swings of adolescent life; or a goodhearted alien living amon
Bond, James Bond... Nearly seventy years ago, writer Ian Fleming introduced the world to his most famous, iconic action hero. A decade later, Sean Connery portrayed the derring-do secret agent on the silver screen; with actors Lazenby, Moore, D
"I want my MTV!" It was the mantra of the young generation in the early '80s... change was on the horizon but no one could have predicted the impact it would have on all of us. Soon the collective voices were heard, and the likes of Duran Duran
DIY: three little letters that instill feelings of  hope, excitement, and inspiration in some - an overwhelming sense of fear and trepidation in others. In either case, people tackling their own do-it-yourself projects have never been more popu
Museums... Reflections of society; the repositories of our collective culture - be them the vastness of the Smithsonian’s endless archives, or but a tiny collection housed within a single room, they all represent carefully curated centers of ou
The coming together of nations in the spirit of competition. What started in Olympia, Greece later became the organized modern games we know today 125 years ago. Many of sporting’s greatest moments have come from these gatherings throughout the
Marco Polo… Sharks & Minnows… Kick the Can… all games evoking summer memories of local pools, backyard lawns and fresh cut grass, all while keeping ourselves hydrated from the nearest garden hose. It was summer activities like these (whether tr
Clack!… clack!… clack!... that telltale mechanical sound beneath our feet that stirs the butterflies of excitement deep inside. Not that we're given long to dwell on things; already the front of the coaster is over the peak and we're whipping d
Quite possibly the two most glorious words of the entire school year: Field trip! Really, was there anything better than rolling off campus knowing we were going to be away from the classroom... all day? Staple destinations of these thrilling v
The lights go down... the curtain rises... the show is about to begin. There is something simply magical in attending a live performance, a revered play or a modern musical. From ghostly hauntings on remote moorland islands; to the song-filled
Flora and Fauna... well fauna anyway. Whether home is urban or rural, a rough hewn cabin or a well-appointed apartment, our friends from the animal kingdom are always popping by to visit. Some of these uninvited guests are genuinely endearing,
When perusing the pages of the family photo album - looking back at our emerging youth - the often heard plaintive cry is: "What on earth was I wearing!" For better or worse these funny, cringe-worthy moments are forever frozen in time for our
It's often suggested that laughter is the best medicine... well, if that’s the case, then comedians must be our go-to healers. With their first stand-up routines limited to dingy small clubs, a select few talented performers have perfected thei

As the saying goes... All good things must come to an end. Alas, this is true for even our most beloved shows. Some have run their course, others may fall victim to the network suits, and a few just no longer have the staying power they one enj
