In the rec room of 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in The Bronx, New York City ... that's where hip hop began in the 1970s with pioneers like DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash.

Join the Latchkey Kids this week as we dive into the early history of hip hop.

Luck favors the bold! Or at least that's what a bunch of CEOs convinced themselves when they launched big new products that would ultimately fail.

Colgate frozen dinners (gross)? How about the Smith and Wesson bicycle?

Are you familiar with the Care Bear Stare? Not to be confused with the "thousand yard stare" that haunts soldiers returning from the horrors of war, the Care Bear Stare - according to Dr. Amy who researches these things - involves getting together with your shirtless buddies and shooting love out of your tummies in order to defeat your enemies. Sounds fun, right?

Following its bold and memorable origins in the 1970s, NBC's sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live" found its footing in the 80s with stars like Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman and EDDIE FREAKIN MURPHY COME ON!

It's hard to believe there was ever a time when the plot of "Porky's" was a totally acceptable thing to portray in a mainstream movie, but in the 1980s, things were ... different.
