February 26, 2013 Craig and myself got to talking about TV with cool theme songs, and we got talking about this show! Ah such a blast from the 80's past, in a good way. Who could forget Markie Post's classic 80's hairstyles that changed every week!
Check out this classic clip from a by-gone era of cheesy, yet great TV!
February 25, 2013 Let's take a trip back in time..to the 70's! It's another WFGR Retrovision. Thanks to the good folks at GRNow.com, we can see what Grand Rapids was all about in the heart of WFGR. The 1970's. The Eagles, Boston, Billy Joel and Elton John. Plus the start of Monroe Center, the Owls and the Amway Grand.
February 15, 2013 So the next time you go to download a song or pirate a movie off the internet, remember the people who paved the way for you to push a few buttons and voila-Die Hard 3. Back in the day it was much much tougher.
February 5, 2013 This is serious blast from the past. Fur Coat, Bob Barker with brown hair, and a general malaise of the crowd. Hard to believe this show is STILL on the air some 40 years later, and still basically plays the same!
January 29, 2013 Who had one of these, or wanted on of these? Of course you did. Who doesn't want to take 3 hours to make a cake with a light bulb? Check out this blast from the past.
January 22, 2013 "Whatchu talkin' about Willis?" - "Dynomite!" or "Kiss my Grits!" - What do they all have in common? That's right, they were all famous sit-com tag lines! What was your favorite?
I have to say, I think my favorite was "KISS MY GRITS" but there were a lot of other classics too
January 17, 2013 The whole WFGR staff is getting in on this one! Matt and I started talking about this yesterday. Conrad Bain from "Diff'rent Strokes" died Monday, and we started talking about babes from other 80's shows--mostly Facts of Life. I thought Blair and Tootie we're cute. And then Andy and Dave were talking about it as well.
January 8, 2013 Check out this baby from 1956. My question is, what does one store on a hard drive in 1956? Vidoes? Music? Pictures? Probably not. It was likely just boring data.
December 31, 2012 Just when you thought you've seen it all, you haven't. Take a look at this vintage ad and look what it says.
December 12, 2012 Read it and Weap! We'll never see this again - likely anywhere. No, I'm not talking about the 7/11. I can remember when I moved to GR and filled up my tank in Hudsonville for .92 in my little Toyota Celica
December 11, 2012 Yep, this ship has sailed. If you were watching TV anytime between 1973 and 2006 you know that Weekday mornings at 11AM you'd see this guy. I watched this show with my brother, grandma, mother, friends, neighbors and others I'm sure I've forgotten
December 10, 2012 From the archives--seems even good ol' Saint Nick is stressed out this time of year too. What could the jolly fat man in the red suit use to calm his jangled nerves? Maybe a mani and a pedi? How bout a snort? A relaxing massage from Mrs. Claus? Nope. None of the above.
