It’s no secret that fans were unhappy. After a fresh, fun, and, dare I say, ground-breaking first season, Glee got caught up in its own press. Big name stars admitted they were Gleeks and asked to appear or share their music.

Last Monday night you might have heard an odd buzzing sound. If you listened closely, it sounded like a stadium crowd. It was the mixed sound of cheering viewers and booing fans as Kate Plus 8 ended its run on TLC.

In 1990, I remember coming home and turning on the television to images of the missile strikes during the Gulf War.

The little blue beings called Smurfs began in 1958 from the imagination of Belgian cartoonist Peyo, a.k.a. Pierre Calliford.
