My last post didn't last long so I'm trying again.
I haven't really been inspired to write all that much these last few months, it's not easy to think up things to write about.
Firstly, this was supposed to be a discussion site but that seems to fail miserably almost all the time. So instead of trying to start a discussion I usually just try to entertain if possible.
I was watching Hollywood Squares with John Davidson from way back in the 1980s lately, he really had some really funny guests on his segment that made me laugh so hard. Then I tried to watch some of the newer stuff but it stunk so now I'm looking for other games shows I used to miss when I worked, usually I worked 4 to midnight so I slept from about 5am til about 12pm but back then I rarely watched TV, I was busy with laundry, fixing meals and visiting with mom. Hey, at least now I can select those shows on Youtube. Do you ever do that?
Does anyone here remember Grand Funk Railroad? If you do, have you ever heard this particular song?

I was worried your last discussion wasn't long enough and wondered if the new GAA would notice... I guess they did. I thought it was funny, though. Sorry it got taken down.

@rebelann Well, you had two partial lines and then a link... I'm betting that's why it got deleted, not the clip itself.
We're supposed to have two full lines of text, not counting the title, when someone opens it on a laptop/desktop. It can be one sentence as long as the two full lines of text are there.

@rebelann That's fine... Try posting a discussion that is less than two full lines of text and see if it stays up. Good luck!

Yes, Grank Funk I have heard. Not a favorite, however. This song I've never heard. Rather odd one.
I think that if you choose a topic that the people you want to reach would be interested in you will find a lot more responses. I think it is all in the subject matter and a cute title to get them interested.

I miss the ol' Hollywood Squares! I don't know what it is about the newer game shows - it's just not entertaining. I liked the older Price is Right, $25,000 Pyramid, Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, Name That Tune . . . I'm sure there's more, just can't think of them.
I know the group . . . but I don't know that song. Hey, I'm going to go on a search for what song I know from them!

@rebelann Yah, I just wonder about how humor can actually change throughout the years. I certainly don't get the humor of this younger generation . . . is it me or them 
.
Oh yes, I'm Your Captain! I also remember Some Kind of Wonderful . . . and We're an American Band!

It's them, it has to be. Just look how fast the new shows these days only last 1 or 2 seasons. Is it the fault of the directors, producers or writers, I really have to wonder.
I think a lot of the problem is that these new generations are trying to outdo the older proven ones
Just look how long some series like NCIS has lasted, but is the new cast anywhere as good as the original?

Yeah, these newer game shows just aren't that entertaining or maybe it's because I haven't a clue who any of them are. I didn't get to watch Hollywood Squares when it originally aired all that often but those few times I did see it I got loads of laughs probably because those old actors of the time is what I find funny. Did humor change that much??
Remember the tune I'm Your Captain? That was one of their hits.

I never watched much tv either. Mainly because I never paid for cable and really only had one channel. Sometimes 2. Plus the French channel.
So, I never saw many shows. I remember people talking about shows at work and I'd say I don't get that show. They'd start explaining things to me. I'd have to explain I don't have that show on my tv. Like Friends.
But I have seen all of Friends since

Ok, I'm officially jealous.......
Well, kinda, I've never met anyone that was a celebrity but when I was 8 I saw Elvis from a distance, he was in Germany at the time and so was my family.

I also enjoy watching some old game shows, The newer ones of Price is Right with Drew Barry are pretty fun to watch,
