Remember 1997, when the Internet was exciting, new, and informational? We do, as do the Jamison family. The Jamison kids share all the cool things you can do on the VHS cassette Kids Guide to the Internet.
Pricing games on The Price is Right can be hit or miss. You can have winners like Plinko, Rat Race, and Master Key. You can also have misses like the dozen games we will cover in this installment.
While searching for material on a previous episode, we stumbled upon information about a very brief BBC comedy from 1980 capitalizing off of the popularity of Doctor Who and The $1.98 Beauty Show. Combine the two and you get a series in which nothing outside of blurbs of the episodes exists, Rip Taylor in Time.
Comedy Central's TV Funhouse was from some of the minds associated with an entry from last week, The Dana Carvey Show. It looked like a kid's show, but it was definitely not for the kids.

The Dana Carvey Show had future superstars among its supporting cast and a who's who of comedy writers but why did it fail so quickly, besides the absurd show airing immediately after a very special episode of Home Improvement? We look at why this show was truly too funny to fail. Warning: There is some language which is not appropriate for everybody.
Take a risk! Take a chance! Take a dare! We double dare you to listen to this episode about the short-lived quizzer Double Dare.
We look at one of the most recent entries on our list, The Cool Kids. It was co-created by Charlie Day, it had brilliant writing and casting, and it was loaded with TV legends. What could go wrong?
We talk about the ultimate spoof of daytime talk shows, Night Stand with Dick Dietrick. Topics in this show include successes (and a failure) which came for most of the people behind Night Stand, the time there was an accidental wardrobe malfunction, and what happened when Mike wrote an e-mail to the show.
We start our look at short-lived shows we loved by looking at one of our favorite series from the 1990s, The Critic. This show bounced around a bit, but had a lengthy life in reruns and even was revived as a brief web series in 2000.
