The 5 Best TV Production Stamps of All Time

The production stamp. The signature at the end of a 30 or 60 minute work of art. Here are my favorite 5 of All Time: Gracie Films I don’t know why, but I’ve just always liked this one. There’s no fancy animation, no funny references, but I’d bet 80% of you can instantly name which […]

Mistaken Musical Identities of the 80s

by Jason Gross @SockofFleagulls

Remember when we didn’t have Google to instantly identify who it was singing a song? Remember the absolute horror we went through when we heard a song on the radio and the stupid jock would tell us about a sale at the local Montgomery Ward instead giving us a title and artist? Maybe you had […]

Why Children of the 80s were the Last Generation of Outsiders

by Jason Gross @SockofFleagulls

I found this week’s UnderScoopFire Podcast #39: Geek Confessions thoroughly entertaining as most of you have. It was a riot to hear some unadulterated confessions by the Voltron roundtable.

Fightin’ Words: The 6 Lamest Masters of the Universe Characters

by Chad E Young

Editor’s Note: The views of Chad E. Young do not necessarily reflect the views of UnderScoopFire. I for one, was Team Buzz Off all the way. There is a disturbing lack of Masters of the Universe content on this site. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that, as there are so many other “children of the […]
