Remember Reba's TV Show? This Is The Cast Now

By Meg
"My roots are planted in the past, though my life is changing fast. Who I am is who I wanna be. A single mom who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops. With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter. I'm a survivor!"When you heard those lyrics, you knew the next 30 minutes was going to be good. Reba was one of the last true family TV shows that gave us laughter, love, and family values. You could sit with your kids and know there wouldn't be any inappropriate scenes.

Do You Know What These Are?

By Meg
If you show a picture of these to anyone over the age of 30, there's a good chance they can tell you what they are. Anyone under the age of 30? Well, let's just say they'll have some spirited guesses but nothing accurate. If you don't know...they're roller skates from the 1970s! Roller skating, roller derbies, and roller rinks were maybe THE hottest trend in the 70s. As kids, you had the clunky metal strap-on roller skates that attached right to your shoes! Hopefully you didn't lose your key, otherwise there's no way those puppies were fitting properly!Ahhh,

"Little Star" Was The Weirdest Show You Probably Don't Remember

By Meg
Growing up, we had a lot of kids show to watch. Some great, some not so great. One of those "not so great" shows was something called Little Star. It was an...odd...mix of both animation and terrifying puppets. The opening credits take you through space, where the planets are actually fruit? And a dog? Because that's OBVIOUSLY what happens in space. Even on IMDB there's limited information on this show. "The heroes live on "Mimosa", a beautiful well-equipped space station that travels through the galaxy. Little Star is a charming fairy space that follows a cheerful team during

Do You Remember The Big Comfy Couch Clock Stretch?

By Meg
"Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready to clown around? With Lunette and Molly, a clown and her dolly, on the BIG. COMFY. COUCH."Once you heard those words coming from the TV, it was time for everyone in the house to shut up so you could watch your favorite show.Lunette was many things, but subtle was not one of them. If she did something, she did it BIG. Which is probably why she chose to stretch every morning on a giant clock rug. Who cares why she did it, though? Odds are, I was on the
