Online chat tonight: We need your help!
There's a crisis here in Stuck in the '80s land, so tonight's online chat comes at the perfect time.
With the holidays upon us, Sean Daly and I have struggled to find time and inspiration for podcast topics. I tried to cram all The Young Ones DVDs through my brain, but I'm just not feeling it. And it's too late to pull off any obvious Thanksgiving-themed show, right?
So things we can discuss tonight:
- Podcast ideas for this week's episode (featuring guest-host Vegas Girlfriend);
- Rolling Stone's list of 100 greatest sings of all time;
- Show ideas for New Year's Eve.
So come back about 8 p.m. Eastern tonight and help us out! Hopefully, VGF, Daly and maybe even Stephanie Hayes will drop by.

"Not feeling" The Young Ones- blasphemy! That's just crazy talk...maybe you needed to pace yourself and watch them all over a couple days.

I think the live chat tonight should snark the American Music Awards starting at 8pm on ABC. Your American Idol David Cook is singing right this minute on the Red Carpet Pre-show.
Everybody's gonna be there, Christina, Pink, Miley, JoBros, Taylor, Annie, Beyonce ... EVERYBODY!

Oh Cylon -- You know the chances of a well-researched show this weekend are slim and none. Thanks for taking care of VGF last night.

Hmmm... I'll need to think of some good topics. I'll come up with something for tonight.

I will be around. I am a fan of a where are they now episode. I think you, Sean, and VGF pick your favorite starts from the 80s and tell where they are now. This of course will require work and research. Not appropriate for a Thanksgiving podcast.

Maybe the '80s Christmas gifts you had to have? Like Simon or Merlin, those first electronic games?

Why would you even want to do a show on New Year's Eve? It's a holiday! It's the time to cut loose and party with your sweetie, not be tied to the computer.
