    On this date in 1953, the first experimental 3D television broadcast occurred.  The show was Space Patrol, and it was not successful.  3D glasses were not easily accessible, and without the glasses, it looked like a blurry mess.  I had no idea that such technology was available back then.  Conversely, last year’s estimation of households with 3D-enabled television was about […]

    Although I never watched it, I remember this series, and we have it to thank for many of today’s stars and Hollywood wrecks.  On this date in 1989, the Disney Channel launched The All-New Mickey Mouse Club.  This is where all of these stars essentially began their careeres: Chad Allen, J.C. Chasez, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake […]

    I am pleased to tell you about today’s feature.  On this date in 1976, Candace Cameron Bure was born.  I grew up watching Full House.  Currently, she is a contestant on Dancing With the Stars.  I appreciate her Christian faith and the fact that she is so vocal about that.  Both she and her brother are an inspiration to me.

    I was intrigued to discoer that on this date in 1942, actress Karen Grassle was born.  This means that my dad’s favorite show, “Little House on the Prairie’s” Caroline Ingalls was born in he same year as he was.  I liked the show, too, but it is almost a religion for my dad.

    No matter how many times I watch I Love Lucy, there are certain episodes that I never tire of.  It was on this date in 1952, that this show got past the censors with an episode called “Lucy Is Enceinte.”  They could not use the term “pregnant,” but it was finally decided for Lucy to be able to have a […]

    I grew up watching Tic-Tac-Dough, so I was very familiar with today’s feature.  On this date in 1934, game show host Wink Martindale was born.  His birthplace was Jackson, Tennessee, and his birth name was Winston Conrad Martindale.  At the age of 17, he became a radio disc jockey, and he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1957, […]

    I did not watch this American Idol season, but I have to admit that I know his song due to its being featured on so many ads (and it is an absolutely annoying song when you hear it on the radio–it could have been much shorter!).  On this date in 1990, American Idol season eleven winner Phillip Phillips was born.  […]
