That music wasn't made for the show - it was actual, honest to god production music that you heard EVERYWHERE on TV, like this news open. According to the News Music Search Archive (yes that is a thing), it's a FirstCom track named "The Leader". Original by Dave Walls - youtu.be/AoKFy6TJbTo?...

I adore this 1985 American Express ad. It's just a very charming commercial, and Jim Davis' complete lack of screen presence makes it utterly adorable.

Philly is known for WPVI's famous Action News Theme, but we had some other great news opens: This is the KYW Eyewitness News open from 1991 with Jack Jones, Ukee Washington, and Tom Lamaine. Ukee and Tom fistbump in the open, and I ADORE that. Original by Casey Roberson: youtu.be/b6xpdfw9d8s?...

This episode has just a beautiful example of smash cutting. 10/10 no notes.

As a Philly 57 fangirl, I love old independent television stations. "Ask The Manager," WSBK's weekly staple where viewers could, well, ask the station's GM questions, is one reason why. (Apologies for the shitty stereotypes in this promo) Original by comma commercials: youtu.be/_JeGeZPQjBk?...

Before Brad Holbrook went insane and adopted the name "Jim Haggerty," he was a legit news anchor. Here he is anchoring the WPIX "Independent News" from Thanksgiving Day 1984. Original by ewxjn (support them!): youtu.be/QRh6yeqOwic?...

Legit one of my favorite news bloopers ever - from the 1980s, WPVI 6ABC's Car Three meets its untimely demise. You probably won't expect where this leads. Original by WPVI 6ABC: 6abc.com/videoClip/62...

Anyway - the production values for this special are insane. This is from "Lab Animal." This story was in both the book and the special, and it's creepy in both, but the show junks the "realistic" visuals for something more Don Bluth-y. Somehow this makes it SCARIER.

For some levity before I go to bed, because this is one of the days we need it: Here is the magnificent news close from Frank Gari's "Turn To" package, used on dozens of stations nationwide and at Philly's KYW-TV from 1985 to 1991. Love how this goes from serious to soaring melody in 60 seconds.

Garfield and Friends, especially in its later seasons, delighted in high-concept episodes. This one, "Dread Giveaway," is a pitch perfect parody of 90s infomercials, complete with cheesy music and graphics. It's great.

Israel’s relations with its allies are fraying. Increasingly sharp rhetoric from European leaders is playing out in messaging and on media platforms. @meenakshirv.bsky.social reports on Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of European ties and instances of real anger towards Israel in European media.

Trump stated Iran will not possess a nuclear weapon, asserting a forceful response and emphasizing the US commitment to preventing Iran from destabilizing the Middle East.

Year on year, rents are up 7% in Dublin, 13% in Cork and a whopping 18% in Galway. A generation of young people are being priced out of their future. They should not feel embarrassed, the Government should feel embarrassed for failing them.

May 25, 2026. In China, a car fell into a river along with a collapsing bridge: “In Hubei Province, heavy rains caused a bridge to begin collapsing; a car that had ended up on the edge fell into the water along with it. The driver managed to get out of the car at the last second.”

Takový argument na Donalda Trumpa určitě udělá velký dojem. Ono totiž 5 % HDP na zbrojení bude v USA prakticky to samé, přibližně 19 % rozpočtu.

Why I don't watch sports. There's a reason why the Romans used to say If you want to keep people distracted, You give them bread and circuses. It's because they knew that If people were fed and entertained, Then they wouldn't question anything & wouldn't think for themselves.
