I was 13 years old at the time and thought that Danny Elfman  (the lead singer of Oingo Boingo) and his crew were the most amazing and “creepiest” band ever (in the [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/the-a-team-2010/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/the-a-team-2010/#comments Sun, 30 May 2010 00:33:21 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=2241 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/the-a-team-2010/feed/ 9 I recently heard that a new A-Team movie is coming out in June.  June 11th to be exact, but you won’t see me there at opening day or even at the theater at all. In fact- I doubt I will see it when it comes out on DVD at the Redbox for a dollar. I [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/almost-vintage-looking-back-at-1990/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/almost-vintage-looking-back-at-1990/#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:03:30 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1937 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2010/entertainment/television/almost-vintage-looking-back-at-1990/feed/ 6 Happy New Year to you all. I hope you a great holiday season and a fabulous New Year. It still sort of blows my mind that we are already into the second decade of the new millennium. For those of you who are really into vintage like I am- that means that “stuff” from the [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/santa-in-animal-land-1948-christmas-puppet-show/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/santa-in-animal-land-1948-christmas-puppet-show/#comments Sat, 19 Dec 2009 22:28:18 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1923 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/santa-in-animal-land-1948-christmas-puppet-show/feed/ 4 A strange little video that shows how Kitty Kat becomes the first animal Santa Claus. This video is a little disturbing, as Harvey the dog gives Kitty Kat a live mouse as a present… however, Kitty Kat Santa says, “Oh no Harvey- not on Christmas.” Apparently, cats eat mice every day of the year but [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/music-monday-123-by-the-groovie-goolies/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/music-monday-123-by-the-groovie-goolies/#comments Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:15:02 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1810 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/television/music-monday-123-by-the-groovie-goolies/feed/ 5 “1 2 3 – you can’t hide from me, just you wait and see. 1 2 3 – you can’t hide from me, 1 2 3 no matter what you do I’m gonna find you!” Pretty catchy tune from Groovie Goolies a cartoon that ran on CBS from 1970 to 1972. A little before my [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/more-vintage-character-sheets-super-friends-from-the-seventies/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/more-vintage-character-sheets-super-friends-from-the-seventies/#comments Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:31:40 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1622 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/more-vintage-character-sheets-super-friends-from-the-seventies/feed/ 21 Besides being hopelessly addicted to vintage jewelry, there is my small addiction to vintage character bedding. It’s not like I had a lot of special bedding when I was a girl… sure I had a Holly Hobbie comforter but that is about the extent of it. Perhaps it is my lack of fancy cartoon bed [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/its-arbor-day-charlie-brown/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/its-arbor-day-charlie-brown/#comments Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:34:42 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1455 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/its-arbor-day-charlie-brown/feed/ 18 For Easter I checked out It’s The Easter Beagle from the local library and was pleasantly surprised to see that it also included the 1976 television special “It’s Arbor Day Charlie Brown.” I actually enjoyed the Arbor Day special more then the Easter special. The Arbor Day Special was timely viewing for me. This is [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/happy-easter-from-fat-albert-the-junkyard-gang/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/happy-easter-from-fat-albert-the-junkyard-gang/#comments Sat, 11 Apr 2009 19:43:28 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=1442 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2009/entertainment/happy-easter-from-fat-albert-the-junkyard-gang/feed/ 14 In the seventies I loved Fat Albert and the Cosby kids cartoons. In fact- it is one of the few cartoons from that era that I would recommend my children watching. Sure my young ones watch Little Bill now- but Fat Albert is timeless and enjoyable for all ages, not just the preschool set.

The letter was written sometime between 1959- 1961, based on my Father’s age and the handwriting. The letter to Santa reads; Dear Santa I would like a red-coulds and blue-coulds set and the Confederates and the Yankees and a Jerry Mahoney [...] http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/entertainment/television/looking-for-burt-ward-nude-would-you-settle-for-casper-the-naked-friendly-ghost/ http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/entertainment/television/looking-for-burt-ward-nude-would-you-settle-for-casper-the-naked-friendly-ghost/#comments Fri, 19 Sep 2008 04:12:32 +0000 Michelle http://www.oneofakindwis.com/?p=820 http://www.oneofakindwis.com/2008/entertainment/television/looking-for-burt-ward-nude-would-you-settle-for-casper-the-naked-friendly-ghost/feed/ 12 Teeni over at the Vagueterian Tea Room posted strange search terms people use to get to her site, so I thought I would mention a few of the strange search terms people use to find my site… Some of the search terms that get people here include; BURT WARD NUDE (that’s the guy who played [...]
