This 1971 Mad Magazine panel has stuck with me for decades. It probably always will, and I wish it wasn’t so damn timely.

Three connected Jack Davis drawings from the “Mad’s Reality Street” satire (written by Dick DeBartolo) in issue 146, Oct. ‘71 (40¢, cheap!). The cover story was on pollution, because the more things change…

“5 leaders...with 5 different opinions…”
(Drawing of 5 white guys in suits, yelling at each other)
“5 panic buttons…with 5 fingers...”
(Drawing of, well, I suppose that one is self-explanatory)
“5 easy pieces!”
(Drawing of the earth blowing apart like an egg, with a cartoon WHAM across the middle)

How many episodes have you come across, @televisionaryzw.bsky.social? And how to get the new ones on Gem over the border?

As King of Kensington turns 50, it shows the challenge of keeping classic Canadian TV in circulation

CBC has uploaded 10 of the sitcom’s notable episodes to Gem. But it’s easier said than done to upload them all

And you know he’d end the State of the Union with, “Well, it’s happened again. You’ve wasted another perfectly good hour listening to my talk.”

Shake it off, breathe in and out. Kick their asses in game 3.

You may choose one person to tell you “The Aristocrats” joke.

(I almost said no one could top Gilbert, but I would MELT to hear Bill say, “So this family walks into a talent agent’s office…”)

The original king of “The Price is Right”, Bill Cullen, in an image said to be from 1958.

Truthfully, neither do I, but sometimes it’s nice to dream. Breaks up the cacophony.

Yep, just before he started “Family Feud.” How many other game show hosts ever committed the line “Nice panties” to celluloid?

Ray Combs, as the officer, observes Kurt Russell’s Dean as he tries to pull a fast one on Goldie Hawn’s amnesiac Joanna/Annie in “Overboard.”

Littlest Hobo > Decoy

London (presumably; the series used several dogs) as The Littlest Hobo

Yeah, but both sides were the same, right?
