Back when Bob Barker still had black hair, families were feuding, and whammies were a menace to society, game shows ruled the television screen. During the golden years of gaming in the 1970s and early 1980s, millions of degenerate adults and sick schoolchildren could spend their days on the couch in the living room, watching non-stop game shows on the three major networks from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Sadly, many feel that today's shows fall short of capturing that tacky flair so critical to the classic game show experience...

Sir Anthony Eden was my idea of a proper British Prime Minister. His policies weren't much to speak of, but at least he looked and sounded the part. The same was true of Harold Macmillan, another stiff old bird who mumbled through his mustache and never heard of anyone getting in touch with his inner self. Any aide who referred to that Prime Minister as Hal would presumably have...
