1990, the start of a new decade and it would be all that and a bag of chips. 1990 would be a year where the world would see the rise of the world wide web, civil unrest in the states, and a hairstyle called “The Rachel” dominate the landscape

Timeline 1994
Nearly halfway through the 90s, 1994 was jam packed with things to watch on TV! Everything from hat crazy episode of SNL that Martin Lawrence hosted, to The 100th episode of The Simpsons, and the ending of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'. And for you True Crime fans out there, likely the biggest wildest live police chase ever - featuring none other than O.J. Simpson

Old Time Radio Show of the Week
The Great Gildersleeve
starring Harold Peary as Gildersleeve
This is one of my favorite OTR shows, its funny and I love the interaction each person has with Gildy (as he is called by Judge Hooker). Of course I love Leroy played by Walter Tetley who was a almost a grown man but he was blessed with a voice that sounded way younger than he was or looked. If you love Walter then The Phil Harris & Alice Fay Show is a great show for you to hear him as Julius the grocery boy.
This particular episode highlights Leroy and his interactions with Unc (his Uncle the Great Gildersleeve).
