...couple other shows in the '80s with ridiculous names and they sort of seemed all the same: a lot of creepily stage-managed kids and then a lot of people who are just trying so hard that they're pandering. There was always some 45-year-old dude singing "Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie." When they were trying to introduce karaoke to the U.S. in the '80s you had a lot of people who were raised to think that if you can't sing you shouldn't sing.

...fascination that so many of my friends have with that live video of little puppies.In short, I am the anti-Disney.So when somebody played me “Year 3000,” by the Jonas Brothers, I was ready to rail against it. Those Jonas boys looked too happy singing that “not much has changed, but they live underwater.” What were they smiling about all the time?
