New Followers and More TV Viewing From my Youth

Welcome to new follower Yard Sale Queen Chris (gee, now we've got the Pyrex Queen and Yard Sale Queen together - I'm but a mere pawn piece). Welcome also to Alyssa Bee, R. Lucas, The Vintage Cabin, and Sue. I promise that thrift will come soon. I've been flushed down a big 'ol work toilet this week. If any parents of my students are reading, rest assured. I mean that in the best way possible. We've got Curriculum Night tomorrow and it's hard not to get swept up in other people's knickers-in-a-knot-ness. I'm happy though.

Here's more pointless TV from my childhood. Does anyone else remember this? I knew Kristy could take down Little House on the Prairie girl just like that.

or this? John Davidson's hair is what's incredible. You know Fran Tarkenton was putting needles into his well-coiffed John Davidson voodoo doll in the green room.
or this? I know Valerie remembers this one, because it was the only hit game show from Quebec - at least in the rest of Canada. It was shot in Montreal and the contestants would have to move on this big game board. The prizes were cheap. If you were lucky, you'd win a disco date for two. P.S. I don't expect you to watch all 10+ minutes, unless you're feeling especially bored. I like to think there's some new mother out there. Baby wakes up for a 2 a.m. feeding and the mom decides to watch pointless videos on the Yard Sale Snoop blog. That thought gives me purpose.
