Mister TV

They didn't throw anything those hillbillies can't deal with a shitty Pitt team shutting them down. Pitt Head Coach Dave Wannstedt was in the press box for that game due to knee surgery, thankfully he reverted to his Defensive Coordinator days and called the D plays, the Stache might not have been the best head coach but he was great Defensive Coordinator.

And Pitt beating WVU is the reason Rodriguez was available!!!!

That’s Rick McGraw not Terry Gibbs, it looks like the episode aired a few weeks after he died. That’s Cpl. Kirchner between Davey Boy & Hulk.

The Steelers are also popular in Mexico, I'm surprised they didn't make a claim for Ireland. Also, why wouldn't the Lions make a claim on Canada? Ford Field is about a mile from the border!

This is technically out since I saw it listed at the theatre I go to. Can we take bets on if it ends up on How Did This Get Made in a few years.

Could it be a "sensei" tournament? That way they could have a semi-finals with Daniel vs. Terry Silver & Johnny vs. Krease to end their feuds, then a Rocky III style ending when Daniel & Johnny start their championship bout. Season 5 is built around flashbacks of the Daniel-Johnny bout, LaRusso would need to take the loss so you could have a storyline with him having a hard time dealing with it, the win would go to Johnny's head so you could have him be a dick for most of the season, maybe that's the opening to bring back "Karate's Bad Boy" Matt Barnes.

They could send the Samantha off to college(spin off?) and have the show be Daniel trying to get Anthony into karate, basically George's idea for the pilot on Seinfeld but karate instead of gymnastics.

Remember cable as we know it really didn't roll out in big cities until 1983-1984ish and didn't hit peak viewership until the mid-90's when the Monday Night Wars started. Having the WWF on USA, regional sports networks like MSG, PRISM and NESN along with Super Stations like WTBS and WWOR, at first filled the gaps in markets(usually smaller ones) that Vince didn't have syndicated tv in yet, along with gaining a monopoly on pro wrestling on cable tv, since everyone with a brain knew at some point it was going to be a money maker.

Did he propose as someone else’s wedding? If so that’s more tacky than his suit.

Why did Hamilton take that rouge?

While cable tv was part of the WWF’s national expansion, syndicated tv was the main tool Vince used. Stations had been giving away tv time to wrestling promotions based on handshake deals, then you had Vince show up with a briefcase full of cash and a cut of house show money in that market, those station managers jumped at that deal. That syndication network enabled Vince to sell commercial time, sponsorships and so on.

The Live in Front of a Studio Audience last night was a disappointment, Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes with who they cast seemed like a home run, but the episodes they used and not going full satire made it a bore. All in the Family, Goood Times, and The Jeffersons worked in this format due to being groundbreaking and hitting on topics modern day TV would run from, an episode of Facts of Life were Blair and Natalie make a nerd sad and a Diff'rent Strokes were Willis wants some privacy, weren't groundbreaking or even that funny. Snoop Dog made a cameo on the Diff'rent Strokes episode and I totally thought it was one where Willis tried weed, it wasn't! Kathryn Hahn not getting the memo that it wasn't a full satire in her take on Jo was a highlight though. They missed the boat by not going with one of the many "Very Special Episodes" that both series had tons of, sure they might want to stay away from the Dudley gets molested by the Big Guy from WKRP episode but there's the Nancy Reagan episode that could have been a home run, or cast Ed Sheeran and do the Sam gets kidnapped episode.

Is anyone else watching Yellowjackets? If so do you also get bored during the present day stuff?

Once they scored, I immediately thought the Steelers were going to have the ultra rare 2 tie season.

Yes, in Creed “Stuntman” Wheeler won the Mustang and was going to fight Conlan but got his jaw busted in a press conference melee, Adonis ended up being his replacement. Also, they switched them from Light Heavyweight to Heavyweight for Creed II. It seems like things were set up for a trilogy with Adonis beating Wheeler at the end of Creed II, then a rematch with Conlan(who never lost his title) in Creed III. I’m assuming that was tossed when Ryan Coogler left to make Black Panther and Stallone took over with the Drago redemption story he really wanted to do.

Pitt wins! First team north of the Mason-Dixon Line to win the ACC and winners of the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy(used to be a big thing) as the best team in the Northeast!

The All Confederate Conference refs are going to do whatever they can to make sure Wake Forest wins.

Fake slide by Kenny Pickett on a long TD run!

As a Steeler fan I hope this is true.

We watched this last night! It’s good and ends up being really depressing due to what this guy did to his neighbors and how he misused religious persecution claims to justify it. It’s really hard to comment more without it being a political discussion, since he was able to originally frame this issue as part of the “War on Christmas”.

Mekka would always steal the show when Laverne and Shirley did the “variety show” episodes.

Seeing the hoop brings back memories of the "Basketball Death Match" gimmick I thought up back in the day. After scoring a pinfall or submission, you'd have to make either two free throws or a 3 pointer to win the match, if you missed the match would continue, also if the downed opponent was able to get up they could try and stop the basket attempt. I was looked at like I had a pox anytime I suggested it to someone in the local indie scene.

Did they not push Garvin's house show matches on tv the same way they did Flair's? They would drive home when, where and who Flair would be defending the belt against, maybe they didn't do that for the Hands of Stone title defenses for some goofy reason. People seem to forget that Garvin only held the title for two months, a short feud with a non-Flair heel really couldn't get rolling in that time frame.

USC is a side step or even slightly better job than Oklahoma, they've stepped on their own dicks with bad coaching/AD hires and had to deal with the insane sanctions the NCAA laid on them for the horrid crime of Reggie Bush taking some gifts from an agent. But there's a crazy amount of talent in their backyard, they have an extremely rich and extremely well connected alumni pool for NIL opportunities, plus a huge amount of recruits would rather play in LA over places like Norman, Columbus, Athens and so on. The right coach will have them in the playoff year in and year out.

I don't watch talk shows often anymore but back in the day you had people like Laurence Tureaud, Paul Reubens, Cassandra Peterson, and Jim Varney appearing on talk shows in character, so Terry Bollea in full Hulkster mode yucking it up with Joan Rivers & Dr. Ruth didn't seem out of place. Alf was treated as an actual living sentient being and not a puppet with Paul Fusco's hand up its ass on talk shows!
