My friend Rob Walker sent me this video yesterday, thank god.
I really want this same type of thing to be done with Beverly Hills, 90210. Which one of you will make that happen for me?
Meanwhile, it really depressed me when Gary Coleman got a little older and could no longer pull off being “the cute kid” and the producers decided to reload with a fresh-faced brat named Sam, who grated every nerve. His irksomeness might be best evidenced by this weird scene, in which a goon threatens to kill Mr. Drummond. Oh, no, he didn’t!
WHY I’M ANGRY TODAY
I spent probably too much time today determining that my second book, Arcade Fever: The Fan’s Guide to the Golden Age of Video Games, has averaged 160.28 copies sold per month since it was published in August 2001.
That Diff Strokes clip is awesome.
I’d take 160 copies a month, no doubt.
Don’t be dissin Danny Cooksey. Salute Your Shorts was where he really came into his own.
Yeah, came into his own… shorts. One of the all-time worst mullets, too.
(And thanks, Bradford. Or you could just write me a check for $145 a month, which would be far cheaper for you but the same for me. Your choice.)
