There is no way that this winter is ever going to end.

Your Sunday Moment of Zen is WARNER BROS. STUDIOS, 1993

Absolutely heartbroken to learn of the passing of Catherine O’Hara. Thank you for the decades of laughter, from SCTV, Beetlejuice, and Home Alone, to Waiting For Guffman, Best in Show, and Schitt’s Creek, she was a bonafide comedy legend.

To all of our fellow southern cool kids, stay safe this weekend!! If you need me I’ll be hunkered down at home with blankets, snacks, and books.

It’s been a minute since we’ve posted some retro commercials, and these might be the most “Florida Bay-Area in 1992” batch I’ve come across! These were recorded on FOX-WFTS in June 92 during an airing of Twilight Zone: The Movie.

Sometimes when things are at their darkest, and the people cry out for a hero, the universe answers. In this case, those heroes are Kenan and Kel who are reuniting for the new movie KENAN AND KEL MEET FRANKENSTEIN. This brings me so much joy.

1992 called, it wants its Nestle Crunch NBA candy tin back.
