Kiss My Grits!

ALICE - aired from 1976 - 1985

Call me crazy, but I loved this show growing up, and now it’s in re-runs again for all to enjoy.  Its playing on iON TV.  One of my favorite characters is “FLO” (played by Polly Holliday) the brash, outspoken waitress who tells it like is as she chews her [...]

Slight Camcorder Upgrade

Above: My old Canon ZR80

Above: My New Panasonic PV-GS320
 
Ok, so my old video camera has stopped functioning properly. I bought it only about 3 years ago. It’s a Canon ZR80 model. After only 3 years of moderate use it blacked out. I have never been very pleased with its performance. It has always had [...]
