October 17, 2011 If you like game shows that are more entertaining than just watching other people win money, you probably liked watching "Hollywood Squares" on TV. Forty-five years ago today, October 17, 1966 "Hollywood Squares" debuted on NBC-TV. Now that the "Frog Days of Fall" are upon us, cooler days and nights, we may be indoors a bit more watching game shows (or not).
October 17, 2011 As a Big Frog 104 listener, you know that year after year, Alan Jackson remains one of the biggest names in country music. Today, AJ is 53 years old, another celebrity birthday during the "Frog Days of Fall".
October 14, 2011 There have been a number of celebrities who have celebrated their birthdays during the "Frog Days of Fall", and today, one of the former James Bonds, Sir. Roger Moore is 84 years old. Moore was the third James Bond in the continuing film series, taking over from Sean Connery and George Lanzenby (who?) who did one Bond film.
October 13, 2011 Here's something I think you'll eat up. October is National Pasta Month - a good reason to eat hearty during the "Frog Days of Fall". Funny, when I was a kid they called pasta macaroni, or all pasta was spaghetti, even if the noodles weren't spaghetti.
October 13, 2011 One of my favorite events during the "Frog Days of Fall" is Halloween, and although I don't get dressed up in costume, I still remember some of the costumes that I wore as a kid, and my kids wore too.
October 12, 2011 It won't be long now until we're carving those Jack-O-Lanterns. But first, you have to pick out a pumpkin. During the "Frog Days of Fall", there are a number of local farms that have hayrides that let you pick your own pumpkin. Or, you may prefer to just go pick one out, and let the farmers do the actual picking.
October 12, 2011 Stress. We all have it in some form or another, and maybe some of us have it more than others due to our line of work. During the "Frog Days of Fall", I thought maybe it's a good time to take a look at the stressometer (is there such a thing). As a radio announcer, I have deadlines about every three minutes, having to say something on the air or prepare for the next song or break. Although that schedule may be hectic at times, it's not all that stressful once you get used to the hurry-up offense of radio broadcasting.
October 11, 2011 The "Frog Days of Fall" are filled with an overlap of sports, from Major League Baseball playoffs and the World Series to college football, NHL Hockey and the NFL. But, it won't have NBA basketball to overlap for a while.
October 11, 2011 The "Frog Days of Fall" are filled with new TV shows. Some last, others don't. One show that has lasted for the past 36 years is "Saturday Night Live" on NBC. In fact, the very first SNL debuted on this day, October 11, 1975 with comedian George Carlin as the first host.
October 8, 2011 The "Frog Days of Fall" are heating up this weekend as the Major League Baseball League Championship series gets underway. And, who'd thought it would come down to these four teams?
October 7, 2011 Now that the leaves are changing color, and the "Frog Days of Fall" are here, we may be in more of a contemplative mood. What? So, here's a question that Men's Health magazine dealt with recently...heroes.
October 6, 2011 Will the Yankees advance to the American League Championship games? That's the question we want answered during the "Frog Days of Fall".
