Personally, I never really cared for The Muppets, but I'm a fan of Vincent Price and Alice Cooper! For season 1 and season 3 the Jim Henson Company invited these Halloween legends for a spooky version of their popular family show. Watch and enjoy:

When I watch this ad from 1979 it takes me back! Are you old enough to remember this?

Watch this interview with Garth Brooks on a Scottish talk show during his European tour over 20 years ago. Garth is coming to Portland, Oregon, next month!

It would be pretty sweet to see a Super Bowl victory repeat (especially over those cheating Patriots), but remember how exciting it was in 2006 to see our team go to the Big Dance for the first time in a 30-year history? Or was it more exciting last year when you just knew we were the better team and were going to win?

Jack McMillan was part of the group that created the Seattle Seahawks in 1976. Then he sold it in 1988 and says he never would have had he known they'd win a Super Bowl.

January is when everyone joins a gym and starts dieting again (I am!) Remember when our parents used to watch Jack Lalanne on TV? Take a stroll down memory lane with me and listen to Jack Lalanne talk about nutrition:

November 20 brings some noteworthy anniversaries. Perhaps the biggest is the 67th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth. See the others:

What's Halloween without Screamin' Jay Hawkins' huge hit "I Put a Spell on You" and Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash"? But do you know the stories BEHIND the songs? I dare you to believe these true facts!

"Movie Macabre" starring Elvira: Mistress of the Darkness was a hit show in the 1980s inspired by "The Vampira Show" from the 1950s. Cassandra Peterson's Elvira was clearly a satire of Maila Nurmi's Vampira (who was inspired by the Morticia Addams cartoons).

Greg Delange is busy building Terror Behind the Screen -- the largest, scariest and most high-tech haunted house in the Mid Columbia! That got me thinking, where did the idea of a haunted house attraction come from? They've been very popular for the past dozen years, but how old is the concept? You'll be surprised by the answer!

With Garth Brooks' new tour taking off like a rocket and everyone talking about what a legend he is, I couldn't help but remember when he was young and said his dream was to some day get as big as Clint Black!

After such a great performance at the Benton-Franklin Fair, I thought we'd go back to 1999 and check out Montgomery Gentry's first big hit, Hillbilly Shoes!
