These corporations need to learn that it is not a good idea to change the one constant we have, our weekly television lineup.

please remember meat loaf (bat out of hell 2 version)

I know no one really forgot Meat Loaf, but let's think about a few things:
  • The seven and a half-minute epic video for "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" What exactly is "that"? Anyone?

  • "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" made me seriously question the physics of car mirrors at age 10. Also over seven minutes long and a little more familial in nature. Also has an epic video, you may cry, gets a little racy after the five-minute mark. The line "If life is just a highway / Then the soul is just a car" makes up for any of this.

  • Costarred in "Fight Club", not to be confused with Puzzle Club

please remember giff's corner

Provo residents of the last year may remember Giff's Corner. Run by our friend Giff. Good for vintage clothes, local music, photobooth pictures, sometimes dancing, always friends. Where everybody knows your name. It was a great nine months. Now it's a hair salon.

please remember dream street

Dream Street was the young and underappreciated boy band responsible for launching careers such as Jesse McCartney and...Jesse McCartney. Their first album was released in 2001, selling a million copies nationwide. In true adolescent-fame fashion, they broke up a year later over a legal dispute. Whenever I bring up Dream Street no one outside my immediate family knows what I'm talking about, so just watch the video for their hit song "It Happens Every Time" and you'll miss them as much as I do.

How could we forget Pinocchio as played by the Jonathan Taylor Thomas? Maybe because we never actually saw the movie.

please remember "today's special"

Today's Special! Remember that show? Jeff (mannequin by day, human by night), Jodie (store display designer), Muffy (talking rhyming mouse), and Sam (night watchman). Just watch the opening theme song if you're having trouble remembering. Hocus pocus alimagocus!
