T.D.I.H. - Jan 8

On this day in 1926, Soupy Sales was born. His original name was Milton Supman. Soupy was most famous for developing pie throwing into an art. I'm really too young to remember Soupy, (especially since so much of my early life was spent in England) however I still consider him one of my favorites from the late 60's, early 70's period of television. He hosted adult variety shows, children's morning shows and was a frequesnt guest on game shows. The video below is a great tribute created and performed by Barry Mitchell.

Great Moments In Television.....

I dare you to watch this clip and not react emotionally. I've been incredibly stressed out and angry at the world lately. This clip restored my faith in humanity. Hell even Simon Cowell comes off looking like a nice guy. I only wish this type of moment could happen in the U.S., but I doubt most American audiences would have reacted this way. The audience reaction is thrilling but what really puts it over the top is how the judges go from bored dismissal to stunned admiration.

If only everyone could have a moment like this in their life...........

Cash Cab

The best game show on television, without a doubt, is The Cash Cab. I love that show! Especially when they screw up, and he kicks them to the curb!

Smarter Than a 5th Grader

I don't watch the show all the time...but of every show I've seen...I've gotten every answer.....

Is this show supposed to be hard?
