For You TV Historical Types...

Found this link to the Archive of American Television on YouTube.

This channel is a treasure trove delving into the history of Television containing many in depth interviews with producers, writers, actors, executives, etc. From Harvey Korman to Carol Spinney (Big Bird), this site impresses me with the sheer volume of background info on the shows we remember and the industry who gave us them.

I suggest checking them out, it's a bowl of nostalgia mixed in with fascinating insight!

Minnesota, What The Hell's Wrong With You?

First you elected former wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura to be your governor, then you have pretty much elected (pending the legal outcome) AL FRANKEN?!?!

Seriously, choosing a former SNL comedy writer and failed political radio hack to be your senator surely takes the taco. Good luck with that.
