Do Ya, Do Ya Want My Kotter?
Was there ever a better live music show on television than Bert Sugarman’s The Midnight Special? I think not. It’s too bad that NBC decided to axe the show just because Dick Ebersol wanted to clear the way for the clearly inferior Saturday Night Live. Ebersol dipped into the music genre again with Friday Night [...]
Announcing, a TrogloContest. Bring all Your Funny!

President Obama may not want victory over Mad Mahmoud in [...]
