Fun and WhatNot

On February 11, 2010, in Kids, Television, by Woy

The Muppet Show was one of my favorite shows when I was little. And, strangely enough, my Dad loved it as well. He would be as excited as I was (if not more so) when it came on.

So, it gave me great joy to see that the FAO Schwartz “WhatNot Workshop” went back online two weeks ago.

What’s a WhatNot? Quoting the website:

Whatnots are those zany-looking extras you see in all the Muppet productions. Wacky! Fun! Totally unique!

The only thing that tempers my enthusiasm is the $129.00 price tag.

I wish they sold Ralph the Dog. Or Sam the Eagle. Hell, I’d even settle for Fozzie.

Wakka wakka.

Before there was The Naked Gun, there was Police Squad!

WXPI Saves Your Life

WPXI Severe Weather

Wow, am I glad I got back from my trip(s) just in time for this (more on them later):

PXI is kicking off “Severe Weather Week” here in Pittsburgh, with “tips to stay safe with upcoming Spring weather.”

Given the incredibly high rate of Pittsburgh weather-related fatalities, this is a sorely needed public service.

I’d be much more entertained by “Night Driving Safety Tips Week with Keith Jones” or “Narcolepsy Week with Stacy Smith”.

God, I missed Pittsburgh.
