Hello, America!
That All-American weekend has arrived.
July 1st is not only the first day of the best month (I’m biased), but summer’s (and this country’s) biggest party with friends, family and neighbors is here. In a mere three days, the 4th of July will bring us together to genuinely, and almost exclusively, remember and celebrate the history-defining events of 1776.
In the wold’s history, the American experiment is stunningly young. Based on the current presidential election cycle, America must be entering its teenage years. There’s a lot of communication using abbreviated, generational terminology (social media), a great deal of frustration and unease at its own identity because of their “out of it” parental units (distrust of institutions and its leaders) and their future is frequently declared “over” and ruined because of scary, unknown variables (life) and in-the-moment chaos from every perceived angle.
What quells teenage angst, especially with the weekend upon us?
Normally, a reminder of, well, normalcy will do the trick.
A cheap trick.
Some forty odd years later and we’re still hangin’ out, down the street, doing the same old thing that we did last week.
And, if that’s not comforting enough, we all know what Red can do to motivate us.
Happy Monday!
You just never know when that moment will arrive.
So many of the greatest things that happen to us occur when we don’t expect something great to happen to us. Case and point is Topher Grace and his story of how he landed the starring role in the acclaimed FOX sitcom That ’70s Show.
As Joe Dirt would say, “Life’s a Garden, Dig It!”
Have a Life-Altering Week!
That Special Couple
Tonight’s episode of Two and a Half Men will be a good one.
Actress Mila Kunis (Jackie) will stop by Malibu’s most famous beach house for a television reunion with her former That ’70s Show co-star and love interest Ashton Kutcher (Kelso). Although, since the two are engaged in real life (99.99% sure), her appearance will only constitute a small reunion of sorts. But, for the millions of fans watching at home, it’s very much a big deal.
Below is a clip from That ’70s Show to set-up her guest role on the hit CBS sitcom at 9:00 p.m. ET because of how perfectly it mirrors her real life engagement and pregnancy rumors with Kelso Ashton more than a decade later.
It really will be a “special Men” episode.
Playing “Hyde” and Seek for That ’70s Throwback
Thursdays have become known as “Throwback Thursdays.” However, I’m not sure when this decision was officially signed into popular culture law? Regardless, it provides plenty of fun alliteration word games and flashbacks to the past.
Danny Masterson (“Hyde” on That ’70s Show) was born on March 13, 1976. Here’s a bit of a mind-bender: Aside from Danny Masterson being born on March 13th, the following video clip is a flashback to a popular sitcom no longer in production that features a flashback of how two adult characters from the 1970s (“Hyde” and “Eric”) met as children in the 1960s. It also ends with a throwback to something we all did when we were that young (usually alone, but still).
Yes, this is happening.
Happy Birthday to one of our favorite sitcom hippies on this Throwback Thursday!
P.S. Have you heard about this car that runs on water?
