I host the Retroist Podcast and write the Retroist, which focuses on nostalgia. I like slightly old stuff. (https://t.co/c4g0ietWFQ)

Making Lincoln removable just strikes me as a poor design decision.

After years of exhaustive genealogical research, I can sadly say with certainty that I am not related to Donald Duck. To see if you are related, just check the Donald Duck family tree by Don Rosa.

In 1983, Pizza Hut launched a promotion that lived in people's home, often frequently used for decades, a red-branded duffel bag, “The Bag Bag.”

While I like the Jazz Mouse, the short-lived Orange and Yellow Flowers mouse was superior.

In the Murder, She Wrote episode, "Virtual Murder," one of Jessica's books is being made into a virtual reality game. It's a wonderful mix of a standard Jessica mystery and 1993 fake tech nonsense.

The Photon TV Series (86-87) had just 26 episodes, but its delightfully campy and features a surprising number of pop music hits. So if you like your live-action kid shows with a side of Phil Collins or the Rolling Stones, you might want to check it out.

In the mid-1980s, Photon tried to make laser tag into new pastime. On the newest episode of the Retroist Podcast I talk about the arenas, the home sets, the tv show, the toys, and more. The light shines!

Jon-Erik Hexum was a rising TV star who died in a tragic avoidable accident on the set of a TV show he was filming. He was only 26 at the time so it is hard to know where his talent would have taken him, but I think he would have had a nice career.

Over the years, ideas for a live-action reboot of ALF have circulated, but only one made it to the small screen. In 2004, ALF fans got to see their favorite furry alien on TV again with the short-lived (7 episode) ALF’s Hit Talk Show.
