A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born. That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network. And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard. But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door. And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran. The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993. I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share. The formula was pretty simple. A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains. The show opened as follows... Imagination Day! Oh boy! You know what happens on Imagination D

Vuvuselas: A bombilation that, hopefully, will not be repeated in four years.
Canadians, eh? Pity.

I miss them!
But then again, I've always taken comfort in white noise and in vuvu noise!

Great funnies, as usual, Sir Nome!
Best line from the ESPY's: "It's not like a team can't win the NBA title without Lebron. Literally, EVERY team that's won the championship in NBA history has done it without Lebron James on their team."
