Christmas in July

 

Merry Christmas, Freaks & Geeks!

C'mon, Santa, it's hot here, and we never really celebrated much last Christmas, so spare us a little cheer.

That's the spirit!

I believe no further explanation is needed. Simply post all things Christmas!

Enough of that!

Can you name the release dates of these blockbuster films - Christmas Day or early July*?

*Hint: Except for one, all of the July films were released over July 4th weekend.

You don't need to type the entire words; "C" for Christmas or "J" for July will do the trick.

80s On TV

 

Good whatever, Freaks & Geeks!

I hope you all survived the weekend, whether you spent it shooting off your appendages with illegal fireworks, gorging yourself at a barbecue, rooting for your favourite cyclist in Le Tour de France, binge-watching "Dark", or merely chilling with a good book or movie.

While I was waxing nostalgic for the 80s over the weekend, I came up with the idea for this thread, and found - YES! - another quiz to test your 80s knowledge, or recall, if applicable.

Before we get to the quiz, however, post about television shows you watched in - or from - the 80s. It will be particularly fascinating to read about shows viewed during the 80s in different countries.

Oh, yes, the quiz.

Can you complete the listed titles of TV shows that debuted in the 80s?

(Hint: They are all American programs.)

Showtunes + QUIZ

Willkommen, Freaks & Geeks!

I feel like listening to showtunes today, so I thought I would create a thread for them, as there are so many.

Although I have been a fan of Broadway musicals since childhood, there are many new productions I am not familiar with. Perhaps, some of you will introduce me and others to the beautiful numbers from them. I will try to do the same for you. Who knows? Maybe those of you who have an aversion to musicals may discover something here that you appreciate.

That's right, folks. Don't be shy. Come in, pour yourself a cocktail and drink in the songs of cabaret.

And now for the quiz . . .

Can you guess the missing word from the musical titles?

Inventions, Gadgets, Gizmos and Other Contraptions + QUIZ

 

I love inventions. After all, what would we do without them?

Some succeed where others fail, but they're always fascinating to witness in action.

Even those that achieve phenomenal success are often dismissed by critics in preliminary reviews.

Can you pick the great invention by an early, negative review?
