Clip of the Week - November 19/07

I love watching old TV shows that I enjoyed as a kid. Of course for me, being a kid was in the 70's and 80's so there were plenty of great shows to choose from back then.

I'll admit it, I watched The A-Team, The Brady Bunch, The Jefferson's, Good Times, Charlie's Angels, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Duke's of Hazzard and of course The Six Million Dollar Man. I still remember pretending to be bionic while playing with my friends.

And nothing was more enjoyable than the old Game Shows that don't seem to be around anymore...at least not on cable.

I loved watching:
The Newlywed Game
Match Game (host Gene Rayburn)
Family Fued (host Richard Dawson)
Beat The Clock
Definition (host Jim Perry)
Front Page Challenge (host Fred Davis)
Hollywood Squares (original)
Tattletales
The Dating Game
Let's Make A Deal (host Monty Hall)

Below are a couple of clips I found of some bloopers from Match Game and Family Feud. I hope you get a laugh from them.

Favourite Christmas Commercials

In honour of my 100th blog posting I thought I'd do something a little special.

As we approach the holiday season, the Christmas commercials on Television are already in full swing. If you're like me, you enjoy the creativity of some of the new commercials, but there's just something special about some of the older advertisements from Christmas' past.

Here now for you to enjoy are some of my all-time favourite Christmas commercials.

Coca Cola - The Holiday's Are Coming



Hershey's Kisses


M&M's Meet Santa


Norelco Santa


Polaroid Cameras


Bud Light - Horse


McDonald's - 1975


UPS


Coca Cola...Again


Coca Cola - Buy The World A Coke


Coca-Cola Bears


And perhaps my favourite Christmas commercial of all-time...not really:

Victoria's Secret


I hope you enjoyed some of my favourites. If you can think of any others, let me know by leaving a comment and I'll see if I can dig it up.

Clip of the Week - November 11/07

Today is Remembrance Day and we must remember.

They died for us, for their homes and families and friends, for a collection of traditions they cherished and a future they believed in; they died for Canada.

For many of us too young to remember or too far removed from current conflicts, war is something we watch on television broadcasts or read about in newspapers or online.

For those who fought overseas or served their country by staying home and working in factories, voluntary service organizations and wherever they were needed, we need to not only remember them on this one day set aside in their honour but every day we are able to go about our daily lives free of fear.

On Remembrance Day, we recognize the sacrifice of those men and women who served and continue to serve their country and we are responsible to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve.

The following is a short video montage produced by Veterans Affairs Canada.

Clip of the Week - November 5/07

It's time for another Clip of the Week.

Last week their wasn't anything worth posting but this week I love this clip. It's not flashy or exciting or going to leave you with a tingly feeling all over but it warms my heart.

As a big guy who used to play football, nothing makes me smile more than to see a 360 pound lineman score a touchdown in the NFL. Add the fact that he has to run 66 yards to do it, gives the last tackler a good stiff arm to the head and then dives into the end zone exhausted...it's just a thing of beauty.
