I remember when originally joining this site that Tim's blogs would always get less comments than Bill's but people would still hang out there and chat.

Now a days it's damn lucky if he gets above 20.

I rarely read his blogs anymore.

He used to post interesting articles imo, and had quotes I didnt see anywhere else.

Just seems too much Kim Kardashian for me now.

wouldn't mind seeing Giroux be Giroux tonight.

He is over passing/too cute lately for my liking.

Flyers need to bring it tonight

I was out when they killed off Chuck in the second season.

Are you sure he died?

Cunninghams' eldest child and Richie's older brother. Went out for basketball practice one day and was never heard from or of again.

I thought Fonzie killed him so he could move over the garage.

I think they're horrible and create drama that isn't there and report nonsense and the lack of hockey knowledge is laughable.

Tim with Zherdev last year.

Sam always digging at Richards and calling him names which was very unprofessional. I'm not saying Richards handled well, I;m also not talking about Richards I'm talking about the media.

I don't live in the Philly area so maybe I'm off on base on this but I think they are a joke.

I'm not including Bill in any of the above.

Buts you are 100% on base. It's actually quite comical how they make nountains out of molehills, and create issues where there is none.

If the Flyers are refusing to move JVR in a L.Schenn deal, and Toronto is looking for a power forward, then I doubt they will want Voracek....

So maybe Homer might be able to work out a deal to send Simmonds... He is still young. Stong on the puck. Can play PP. And has a toughness Burke would love. THough we may have to send a pick as well, but its interesting though...

I was also very new to the site at the time, so I could be wrong. From my point of view he didn't seem that bad. Tim was the only beat writer we had back then. He's still not as bad as Garth. Garth in my mind is horrid. It's amazing he has a job. Poor Sabers fans.

I definitely remember Tim not being as annoying as he is now, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm used to having a legit hockey blogger now or not

I'd hate to give up Simmonds he'll be a great 2nd/3rd line player but i suppose we have a ton of them... can't see the leafs giving up Schenn for Simmonds straight up

If the problem were simply that they're pessimistic I wouldn't have a problem like I do with this beat. It's the drama stirring, that's what's maddening about it.

Luke Schenn is struggling, JvR is hurt. I would sure hate for Luke Schenn to struggle here and JvR become healthy just in time to rip it up.

We're five months into the season. Carter and Richards are gone. Other than reporting that Brygalof is bizarre, like every other media outlet in Canada including the Hockey News who set aside a half page for his quotes in the Goalie issue, what drama have they stirred?

That may be it, but they beat that horse beyond dead. Also for me, it's the lack of hockey knowledge and quality articles more than the drama stirring, that bothers me. I expect the drama in most cities and sports.

You can't say Tim & Anthony don't know the game, Sarah does fine, Franks just a kid and Sam... well there's no defense of his mistakes nor will I ever attempt to stand up for just about anything he does. I don't even read his stuff anymore.

Love American Style...
- mayorofangrytown


Actually we're both half right.

For years during its' run, producer Garry Marshall was fond of joking that Love, American Style was where failed sitcom pilots went to die, a remark to which there was considerable truth. At the time, if a TV producer could not interest a network in a sitcom pilot, the producer would then sell the unused script to Spelling, who would extract the funniest bits of the pilot and use them as a segment on Love, American Style.

But when Marshall came up with a sitcom concept originally titled New Family In Town, shot a pilot for it in 1971, and couldn't get any of the three major networks to become interested in a show about teenagers growing up in the 1950s, he finally had to humble himself and take advantage of the well-known anecdote for Hollywood writers and producers.

Selling the completed pilot to Spelling, the show was aired in February 1972 as one-half of the episode known as "Love and the Happy Days", starring Ron Howard as Richie, Marion Ross as Richie's mother, and Anson Williams as Potsie, Richie's friend, along with Harold Gould, Susan Neher and Ric Carrott in supporting roles as Howard, Richie's father, Joanie, Richie's sister, and Chuck, Richie's older brother, respectively.


However, when American Graffiti became another huge hit in Hollywood the following summer, everybody was in love with the 50's again, leading CBS to pick up the show for a second season, beginning an eleven-year reign as the longest running and most successful sitcom in the history of American television.
