Buffalo seems to have had a real problem with pre-emptions of network sports in that era. Channel 2 also failed to show the French Open or golf that month, basically anything not baseball or football. Channel 4 would simply duck in and out of NBA playoff games. I'm shocked the networks allowed this.
My dad sent me a couple of adventure comics that my nephew, aged 10 this Friday, made using ChatGPT. He didn't even know they were AI until my brother told him. 😿
Introduce yourself with the London Underground station that matches your personality! I'm Chesham.
I always enjoy calling up old episodes of "Top of the Pops," the BBC's equivalent of American Bandstand, but especially for its rundown of that week's British Top 20 chart. I have no idea who in the hell most of these people are, it's glorious: youtu.be/pz7MMm1zPrI?...
Look down Independence Ave during minute 12 of the big Freedom 250 fireworks display:
MFW my opponent tripped me dueling for the ball near the touch line:

"You're watching Yorkshire Television, part of the ITV network. Now a delightful comedy special for all the family, 'Mr. Bean on Crack'."
UFC Stormwatch: The line is currently over the Shenandoah Valley, about 80 miles west of DC; it should be here in earnest around 8:30 PM.
The telecast of the game was tape delayed in New York until 11:30, meaning you either had to drive to within B-grade signal distance of New Haven, listen to Marv Albert on the radio, or pay $6 to get into the official watch party at what is now called the MSG Theater:
Live look at Tony's tie and OH MY GOD MY EYES SOMEONE COVER IT UP AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH
The groom here does actually appear to be wearing a cummerbund, but his pants are riding so low that the it cannot prevent the dreaded "shirt triangle" regardless. He got his clothes at Geoffrey Lewis, on H St near the White House, so I know I never need to go there:
@wychstreet.bsky.social Remember that stint Gumby had as head of programming at Nickelodeon? *shudders*
If you can't make it to Binghamton, Jimbo will likely be coming to a city near you soon (in order: Anchorage, Mesa, San Antonio, Dayton):
Who wants to attend a seminar on "investment dressing" in Binghamton? Attendees get a free copy of ol' Jimbo's book, too!
What I hope I look like in tailored clothing >> What I actually look like
TFW Taylor Lorenz once again says something dumb that you people can't help but latch on to:
Sitting down in our evening dress to watch the pulse pounding excitement of Action News: youtu.be/y6VSXVI9bYc?...
Dans quel magasin devriez-vous acheter votre prochain ordinateur?
Incidentally, all the Turner tributes means another round of seeing this guy on my TV. He is my mortal enemy; nobody ever invites me on their podcasts and news shows to deliver pithy sound bites about how SNL "changed the TV landscape forever," but Mr. Ph.D. over here is always first on the Rolodex.
