Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"No, Angel started out after Buffy on Tuesdays, and only moved to Wednesday after Buffy switched networks..."

Except there will be people like me swearing that Angel was on ever on Tuesdays!!!11!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did you know that being pooped could lead to a loose cannon? (Probably many loose cannons.)

Wasn't the A Team on the same night as Dukes of Hazzard? I think I remember the kid I was babysitting begging to stay up and watch both shows.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

it was Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas and then Falcon Crest on Fridays.

Ah....my Friday nights as a kid (minus the Falcon Crest).

With Love Boat and Fantasy Island on Saturdays

And my Saturdays.

Ah, good times. Good times.

Anne's dad does spectacular work. I really love the Schoendienst one, with the bracing hidden within the dirt being kicked up by the unseen hard sliding runner trying to break up the double play.

I'm sure the double play that I helped turn in my Monday softball game looked JUST LIKE THAT. honest.

I only saw some of these on syndication. Used to be on 3-5pm and we could get away with watching them cause mom wouldn't be back from class yet to shut if off and go "How can you watch this crap?" and send us outside.

Never really watched any of the evening soaps. My childhood tv was PBS and MASH, pretty much. I do remember Hill Street Blues. And China Beach. But those were later. When we'd actually gotten a color tv.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

No, it was Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas and then Falcon Crest on Fridays.

This was my childhood as well. Love Boat and Fantasy Island were a smaller part. No Dynasty or Knots Landing though. My mother didn't watch, so I didn't either.

"No, Angel started out after Buffy on Tuesdays, and only moved to Wednesday after Buffy switched networks..."

And Buffy started out on Mondays.

I watched mostly soaps, daytime and primetime, as a kid. As I said recently in my bio, "To this day, I can't tell you how a bill becomes a law, but if you need to doctor the results of a paternity test or figure out which one is the evil twin, I'm your girl."

Thrive to spite them

I was staying at my grandparents when they were living in rural GA, they had one of those big ass satetlites, they got all kinds of weird channels. Like the emu auction channel...I'm not sure what else was on it but they were always selling emus.

Anyway, something happened and they lost all of the religious programming and got access to all the porn. I was flipping through the channels and porn flashes by -- I thought faster than Grandma E could see it, but nope. She says "I always wanted to know what the big deal was about pornography."

When my brain started working again I told her to wait until after I went to bed.
