| 27478 | What do you want for Christmas? | I watched the ATL Falcons beat the then-undefeated Carolina Panthers.<div><br></div><div>What awesome belated Christmas gift for me!</div> | Mr Magic | Dec 28, 2015 |  |

| 27476 | The Andy Griffith Show | I'm sure you guys can imagine how I feel having grown up with the Andy Griffith Show. This series was the backdrop to my childhood in the 1960's.<div><br></div><div>The success of the Andy Griffith Show lands squarely at the feet of one of America's master showmen - Danny Thomas. Danny Thomas, along with Sheldon Leonard and William Asher; transformed television and created shows from the 50's and 60's that have stood the test of time.</div><div><br></div><div>I remember reading something in TV Guide that you guys might find interesting. When Danny Thomas was interviewed during the big roll-out for the "Andy Griffith Show" on CBS, Danny admitted he was surprised by the networks doubts that Andy's new show was a good idea. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Understand that CBS was convinced that the new decade of the 1960's would be the end of "old fashioned" concepts like small-town "country/rural" humor.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">But television was now in the hands of people that knew how to make an audience laugh! Like "The Danny Thomas Show", "The Andy Griffith Show" would showcase some of the nation's best actors and writers. </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Sheldon Leonard and William Asher, with the resources of Desilu Productions, assembled one of the funniest cast of characters on television at that time. Some of the richest men in broadcasting had bet against "The Andy Griffith Show" - and they were wrong!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Not only was Andy Griffith a fun show to watch but every character, no matter how minor, was well acted. Scene after scene, all Andy had to do was keep from laughing cuz Don Knotts did the heavy lifting.</span></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m13e5FXRcdc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Dec 27, 2015 | |
| 27475 | What do you want for Christmas? | And you guys should see the box Superman was packaged in, it''s the size of a mini-fridge.<div>I have to admit that I'd only seen pictures online for these statues. The degree of detail is amazing.</div><div><br></div><div>Never even heard of Kotobukiya before, but they've raised the standard for collectibles!</div><div><br></div> | eddstarr | Dec 27, 2015 | |
| 27474 | Child Stars | I was always really fond of Jennifer Love Hewitt growing up. I had a crush on JTT when I was younger as well.<br> | Poshy2005 | Dec 27, 2015 | |
| 27473 | Child Stars | No one really. I've never really admired celebrities in general. I didn't even watch a lot of stuff in my youth that had a whole lot of child actors within it. | Rick Ace Rhodes | Dec 27, 2015 | |

| 27469 | Christmas Nostalgia & More! | It sure didn't take Walmart long to take down their Christmas decor. We were in there the day after Christmas and it was all down and gone. <br> | Vaporman87 | Dec 27, 2015 | |
