A look back at 1995 the year in music. What in the world was The Noid? Some of the early fails of the FOX television network.
Episode 177 helps light a fire of nostalgia during the dark days of winter.
The show kicks off with a killer guitar riff and thumping bass line as we look at 1995 the year in music. This is the first of two parts. It covers January - June 1995. The rest of the year will be covered in July.
The 1980s were filled with unique and sometimes downright weird product mascots. Perhaps none exemplified those descriptions like The Noid. A creation of Domino's Pizza the Noid was meant to shine a positive light on the pizza chain's quality and delivery service. Did it work? We'll do a deep dive.
Although it seems like forever the FOX television network has been around for less than four decades. Those initial years of the late 1980s were filled with growing pains. This week's Top 5 takes a look at some of the biggest show failures of the FOX network in the 1980s. Married with Children and The Simpsons are NOT on this list.
There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule focused on the groundbreaking creation of Apple's iTunes.
