I learned about the game of baseball (and the Brooklyn Dodgers) while watching the games on tv and my mom was doing the ironing. I was six years old and knew the entire lineup for Brooklyn.

IS - the new season actually started last week. Tonight is the second episode of new season... watch the first OnDemand if you get that feature. Me & Mrs. Mark watch that pretty regularly. Agreed, not as good as it once was but it's still not bad.

I remember when some stations signed off before midnight.

My mom used to tell this story: It was about 1952 or '53 and my mother was doing her ironing one night. We had a tv for a few years already at that point (which was unusual since most families were first getting tv around then) and she wanted to watch a movie while ironing the clothes. Only problem was there were no movies on then.

My mom, who loved and lived to argue, called up the broadcast channel and complained that her husband bought her a tv and she wanted to watch a movie but there was no movie on. The station actually broadcast a movie!! [TRUE STORY] It was a Charles Boyer movie, and my mom told me the name of it, but I've since forgotten the name.

Do any of you tune into MeTV? It shows some of the oldies from the 50-70s like The Honeymooners, Burns and Allen, MTM, Bob Newhart, The Rifleman, Perry Mason, and Dick Van Dyke.

After roughly a month of negotiations, Ryan Reynolds has officially been cast in the lead role for HIGHLANDER. Reynolds will play Conner MacLeod, a Highlander who discovers he is one of a dwindling group of immortals who wander the earth and kill each other in combat for the final “Prize” – mortality.

The remake is set to be helmed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who is also in negotiations to rewrite the script. Neal Moritz and Peter Davis will produce the film.

Charlize Theron has shaved her head in preparation for her part for the upcoming 4th MAD MAX movie.

~And no, "Mad Mel" aint involved this time around. He's replaced with Tom Hardy, a casting I really like.

I just read that Tom and Katie are divorcing. There's a shocker .

Holmes was hand-picked for Cruise by a nervous David Miscavige, as Scientology's leader wanted to prevent what had happened during Cruise's previous marriage, when a Scientology-wary Nicole Kidman kept Cruise all but out of the religion during their ten-year relationship.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Katie was fully aware of how Nicole Kidman got screwed over in her divorce with Cruise, and has much less of a relationship with their two adopted children as a result. Katie doesn't seem like the type to let that happen (and her parents, we have always understood, were wary of Tom's kooky religion).

Some are saying she’s been slowly, secretly planning it for a while with the help of her parents reaching out to old contacts, like her old publicists, to execute the extraction.
