Vintage TV Tuesdays

I visited my parents this weekend and had a great time. My dad made yummy egg rolls and a delicious dessert he used to prepare when I was younger. It was blast from the past, and my brother was there, too, to share some of our memories from growing up.

My dad said he found a portfolio of my drawings from college and brought them out. It was fun to look through them. Inside the portfolio was a book, which I hadn’t seen since the 1980s. It was called More Sniglets. Have you heard of these? If you’re a product of the 80s, then you know what I’m talking about. My nine-year-old had fun reading through the book even though a number of the words are a bit antiquates (i.e., references to pay phones and Polaroid cameras).

So I went to my handy-dandy friend, YouTube, to look them up. And what do you know?

Enjoy!

Vintage TV Tuesdays

One of the writing projects I’ve been working on is a follow-up to My Life as a Misfit: an autobiographical voyage into the past.

As I’ve dredged up some of those old memories, I’ve found out how fun it is to revisit some of the old TV shows I had watched. Many of them can be found on YouTube.

So welcome to…Vintage TV Tuesdays. Maybe you’ll remember some of these things, as well. And, if you’re of the young-ish variety, maybe you’ll get a laugh out of how antiquated some of these shows are. The cultural references may be as mysterious as time travel itself.

SCTV was one of my favorites. More so than SNL. 

Do you recognize anyone in the sketch?
