Throwback Thursday

Early January will forever be remembered for the month we lost an icon, and it is also known for that same icon changing his name.

The sitcom was the brain child of Norman Lear who was no stranger to groundbreaking television shows with serious issues, his resume included All in the Family and the Jeffersons.

Today we remember the days of three channels, rabbit ear antennas, and my Throwback Thursday memory, 'The Test Pattern'.

We've made it to Christmas Eve. Seems like we've been planning for today and tomorrow since before Halloween, and actually, that's true for some or many!

This video combines a Christmas classic with a kind of hybrid arrangement which features one of the oddest duet pairings, America's legendary crooner, Bing Crosby and Ziggy Stardust himself, glam rocker, David Bowie.

The Whale's time machine awaits you. Today we're traveling back to December 17th, 1963. Destination - Washington DC.

December 10th, 2007. Don't bother crankin' up the Whale Time Machine for this. We can probably walk back to that year.

Today we'll throw it back to a Christmas classic that has been a tradition for over 50 years.

Sit beside me in the Whale Time Machine.  Our trip into time is about to begin. The date is set for December 3rd, 1969.

One of the highlights of the holiday season is the television Christmas specials that remind of us of the magic of this time of year, and none more than my Throwback Thursday memory.
