4. They play a commercial on television
I can't remember what it is for, but it sure sounds like Anson Williams singing it.

19. Useless trivia
Anson Williams is related to Dr. Heimlich, who invented the maneuver which bears his name

I guess everyone likes some bad TV, however...

6. MMmmm no
Someone will post the link but Happy Days was based on a often running segment on Love:American Style which aired BEFORE Graffiti came out. Gary Marshall said so himself.

16. I think I might have been able to take the TV Geek.
I did watch a lot of television while growing up and when I was single. What gives me an edge, though, is that I READ a lot about television. I have TV reference books I've read nearly cover to cover. I know stuff about television shows I've never even seen. And I knew watching reruns of old sitcoms, dramas, and game shows would come in handy someday...

Too bad they cancelled Beat The Geeks. ;)

14. Apparently not
I will never forget that show. It was like I was awakened to a brand of comedy that I didn't know existed.

17. I wondered why he stopped doing those On-Cor commercials.
And now I know why. That's too bad.
