Rediscovering my Blog

I just rediscovered my blog, and had some fun reading it over. It got me to remembering some great TV episodes. "Chuckles Bites the Dust," an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, came out as the best of all time on a 1997 list from TV Guide.

There was a lot of great TV from the early 70's, and I remember watching many shows from that time period as a kid. One of my favorite discussions of those shows was from The Bob Newhart Show. Emily asks Bob why they don't play baseball in the rain.

Emily: BOB, IF THEY CAN PLAY FOOTBALL IN THIS KIND OF WEATHER,
HOW COME THEY CAN’T PLAY BASEBALL?

Bob: E-EMILY, ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Emily: YEAH.
Bob: WELL, THE– THE PITCHING IS DIFFERENT.
I MEAN, UH, YOU KNOW, TO CONTROL THE, UH–
AND, YOU KNOW, IT CUTS YOUR, UH–
IT CUTS YOUR VISIBILITY AND, UH–
PLUS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE GUYS SLIDING INTO THE BASES, YOU KNOW,
THEY COULD, UH–
I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY DO IT,
BUT THEY DO IT.

Classic.
