The Games of Thrones Visual Guide to the Faces of Season 1.
All they need now is to make a guide for Season 2 and 3. This would be plenty helpful since there’s so many characters involved – not that I’m complaining.

The Walking Dead on Blu-ray
July 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I thoroughly enjoyed both seasons of the Walking Dead series. It’s cleverly written, the acting’s great, and it’s nicely shot. I highly anticipated each new episode and it was a definite “must watch” every week. So, when I saw the Blu-ray box set coming out in late August, I immediately wanted to share the news with all our readers. I love and highly recommend everyone to watch the series and can’t wait until next season, though I’m not sure if i can put this box in the middle of my entertainment center – especially when it’s not around Halloween yet.

Flashback Friday!
The Muppet Show, produced by puppeteer Jim Henson, was a vaudeville-esque variety show that brought a host of lovable characters for child and adult, alike.
Each episode featured a human guest star. As the show’s popularity rose, many celebrities were eager to perform with the Muppets on television and in film.
On Season 4, Episode 17 (1980), The Muppet Show was graced with the likes of Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and R2-D2 for the famed show, which included the satirical “Pigs in Space” skit.

Flashback Friday: Looney Tunes
May 25, 2012 By 1 Comment
Flashback Friday!!
I remember waking up early Saturday morning, grabbing a box of cereal, a big spoon, and a carton of milk….ready for the two-hour Looney Tunes ride? And, what a ride it was!
Looney Tunes cartoons was the most popular cartoon series in theaters (yes, theaters!) from 1942 until 1969. The series exceeded Disney and other popular competitors.
Hyde and Hare (1955)
However, I remember its heyday running a mid-70s/mid-80s span. Why? Well, this young man was growing up during that time. I listened to the score. I tried to decipher the dialogue. And, I plain laughed my toosh off!
Bully for Bugs (1952)
