KD in CA Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Just another little piece of Americana flowing downstream. Sadly, it doesn't really work in the internet/media age where people get 24x7 exposure to these celebrities.
PastaJoe Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 It's not like the old days before cable when viewers were willing to watch plate spinners at 3am.
KD in CA Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 It's not like the old days before cable when viewers were willing to watch plate spinners at 3am. And Tom Vu commercials.
Dr. Fong Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Just another little piece of Americana flowing downstream. Somehow, I think we'll survive.

plenzmd1 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) It's not like the old days before cable when viewers were willing to watch plate spinners at 3am. Never really watched, but Labor Day always signaled the Telethon and NFL opening day. Edited May 3, 2015 by plenzmd1
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Why would they need a telethon in today's world. Just strike a deal with retailers like Walmart, Kmart, etc... And ask for a donation @ point of sale!
