- This is the exact same thing that happens every morning in the AE break room. I won't tell you who's involved, but you can probably figure it out.
- The 100 Greatest Lost Hits Of The 80's countdown may be over, but every Thursday we're going to travel back again and pay tribute to an 80's tune that should have been a bigger hit. This week, it's "Sex As A Weapon" by Pat Benatar. What better way to pay tribute to 80's icon Pat on her birthday than to feature one of her most underrated songs. "Sex As a Weapon" was the first single (second if you count the soundtrack hit "Invincible") from her album Seven The Hard Way, and both the album and song were big chart disappointments. The album peaked at #26 and barely scraped gold, and the song petered out at #28 in January 1986.
- Continuing the 50 Greatest 80's TV Theme Songs/Openings!, Here's #19, My Sister Sam.
- Airing on CBS from October 6, 1986 – April 12, 1988, My Sister Sam starred Pam Dawber, Joel Brooks, An American Penis In London, and one of my favorite TV character actresses, Jenny O'Hara The show was short lived (less than two seasons) but it will always have a sad footnote in Hollywood history because of the stalking murder of Rebecca Schaeffer, which shocked the world and led to anti-stalking laws in California. The theme song was the great mid-80's pop/rock number "Room Enough For Two," performed by the faboo Kim Carnes.
