Anyone growing up in the 80′s loved Mr. T. He was an icon of a bygone and fondly reminisced era. My wife even had a crush on him back in the day (married me because we look so similar;-) But I digress. What I bet most of us Gen X’s don’t know (or anyone else [...]

The Sound Of Music rocks!

I have a confession to make… I, Burton, think The Sound Of Music rocks! …And that would make me cool (because we all know that anyone into retro stuff is rather hip).

Youtube is awesome for watching classic retro clips, and I just found one which features my three favourite muppets of all time! [...]

One of my first memories of television was watching The Muppet Show on Saturday nights with the whole family.
