Late Night - The Crocuses

Another short segment from Dave's Mom.

Dave's Mom

Dorothy Mengering, David Letterman's mom has passed away at age 95.

Dave's mom was always a highlight of the show. Her appearances every year on Thanksgiving became one of my favorite traditions. If it was Thanksgiving night, I was watching Dave guess the pies...



And this Top Ten is a highlight:

MST3K - Season 11

The new 11th season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 "drops" on Netflix this week. Friday April 14th, to be exact, and I can tell you it's going to be good.

If you're like me and you watch the hype and hoopla concerning the new season you'll see a lot being made of the special effects, the sets, the guest stars, the new bots, the new actors... All that is fine, and I'm a little curious about the special guest stars as well (Jerry Seinfeld), but as I said in a previous post, it's all about getting in the movie theater and making jokes and very little else about the show matters.

As a Kickstarter backer I was able to see the first episode before it gets officially released on Friday. And it's pretty great. They watch a terrible movie that I've never heard of in my life and the jokes are fast and furious. If I have any complaint, it's that the jokes were so fast it's hard to keep up at some points. It demands your full attention or you're going to miss a lot.

So, as a hardcore fan, I approve... I really enjoyed it... And I'm officially as excited about a "tv" show as I have been about any tv show in recent memory. It's back, somehow it really is back.

Cereal? But How?

Sure, I'd like to enjoy cereal but it's just so confusing. "Puffs", "chex", "fiber", "bunches", "cap'ns"... How could I ever hope to understand such an dizzying field?! Is there any hope or are some of us destined to a dull cereal-ess existence?

Well "Cereal Nerd" Toby Radloff says unequivocally "YES"... Uh, to the first part.... Yes, to the hope... Toby is here to make sense of a complex world and bring you his own cereal reviews. His precise analysis is what you need to choose the brand of bran that's right for you.

The guys play Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures.


As a bonus, I've never heard of this game in my life but it looks good.
