Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

My gosh the stress of this baseball is making me batty. It's been so long since the Mets were in the playoffs I forgot how unbelievably difficult it is to watch a high pressure baseball game.

That's all for now.

I hear ya, Sister.

A little bit ago, I was watching me kid at school as they have cameras in her classroom that I can access. I watched her push down a boy and then slap him a couple times. Yep, the teacher saw and put her in timeout. Not surprised...if someone gets her in way, she gets pretty mad.

Did you ask her about it when she got home?

Did you ask her about it when she got home?

Yep. She put her head down and walked to her mommy.

Meh, I binged watched Twin Peaks recently so nothing really seems weird anymore in comparison.

I Love Twin Peaks! Can't wait for the new episodes.

I'm sure Hubby will be watching.
(In between episodes of 90210, that is. )

New avatar for Halloween. I don't know if Morgus was shown on television outside of New Orleans, but it was a big deal here. They even made a full length movie that was released in theaters. I have some great memories of watching episodes of Morgus with my family. I still love watching it. It's as funny as ever.

I've never heard of it; which doesn't mean much.
Was it a local production like this staple of my childhood?

Embarrassing!

Yes, it was a local New Orleans show that ran from 1959 into the 80s. They've been rerunning it ever since.

Showtime is already promoting it before episodes of Homeland.

I just hope it is more like the first half of the series. No sensitive biker adventures or civil war reenactments.

This looks like something that should have a Rifftrax commentary.

This looks like something that should have a Rifftrax commentary.

Even after Googling, I still don't really know what Rifftrax really is.

I do know Wikipedia though:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hilarious_House_of_Frightenstein

I found this part to be the most interesting:
"The producers were fortunate enough to get horror icon Vincent Price to star in introductions for the show's various segments. Price was attracted to the project because he wanted to do something for kids. Price filmed all of his segments (around 400) in 4 days for a fee of $13,000."

I know I've posted this before:


@Andrew C - do you have any recollection of this show?

 

[JenniferS]

Oh my word, I totally forgot the intro.
This, by the way, was a kids' show.

It definitely looks familiar but I can't place it. Which tells me I didn't really watch it.

When I was a really young kid, it was more about mr dressup, the polka dot door and under the umbrella tree. Only got to watch during the summer though when I was up there.

Later it was Are you afraid of the dark but that was also aired in the US

They taped all 130 episodes in a 9-month period, starting in 1971, so I probably only ever saw it in re-runs; but it re-ran for years! You might be too young, or didn't stay in the Great White North long enough to become fully indoctrinated.

Recorded barely 20 minutes away from me, it hales from CHCH Studios - home to Tiny Talent Time and a little gem called the Red Green Show. Hamilton native Martin Short also made his debut on the station.

Polka roo, polka roo!

I loved Mr. DressUp. Much like Walt, he was like a favourite uncle to me. His passing was scarcely noticed by many, as the country/world was still in shock, a mere week after the events of 9/11.

It used to be called Mystery Science Theater. It is comedians watching corny B-movies and making fun of them.
