Hang On, Popular Mechanics For Kids Is How Old?!

By Tanya
Growing up in the 90s, especially in Canada, there was one show that was the most important part of your day. Popular Mechanics For Kids was the absolute best way to learn about all the coolest things you could imagine. The show started off with Jay Baruchel and Elisha Cuthbert as the main hosts. They would go on some kind of adventure to a theme park or museum, and then Charlie would come around with his experiment or tip that would make it feel a bit like Mythbusters. The show was educational and would teach kids a lot of little

By Meg
When Disney announced a Duck Tales revival, people collectively lost their minds. With a star-studded cast coming in for the remake, it's possibly of the most anticipated revivals to date. Of course, there's the classic theme song (WEEOO!) which many people have tried to cover and make their own. But let's be honest, the original is the best. Or at least it WAS the best...until this version came around.Of course, it begs the question...who has the time? Frankly we don't care, though. Because it's flawless.

Frank Sinatra's Story About One Of Don Rickles' Classic Pranks is A Great Way To Remember Him

By Zachary
The world lost a comedy legend this week with the passing of Don Rickles, one of the funniest (and meanest) voices ever to take the stage. Newspapers across the country have done their best to memorialize this larger-than-life entertainer, but we think that should be left to someone who knew him best: Frank Sinatra.The singer first met Rickles in 1957 and they stayed lifelong friends afterwards. Rickles was famously the only person allowed to joke about Sinatra's fragile ego, and as you can tell from this story he took his job seriously.Throughout their careers these two icons often

By Tanya
When they first announced the Dirty Dancing remake as a three-hour-long TV movie, I wasn't sure how to react. The cast list has a few winners on it, but overall it feels like Dirty Dancing was a big enough classic that it should be left alone. Well, now the pictures have started to come out and it doesn't clear up any of my feelings towards it but it does give you a hint at what they are going for. Several of the cast members including Abigail Breslin, Sarah Hyland, Debra Messing and Cole Prattes have all shared pictures on Instagram
