The original “Munsters” and “Addams Family” ran against each other on network TV from 1964 to 1966. Rob posted some pictures from an old “TV Guide” that previewed the 1964 – ’65 season, and said, quote, “This fall we are gonna spook-out like it’s 1964! There’s no release date for either yet.

TV shows like The Voice and American Idol sometimes miss the boat…The Voice and Luke Combs and American Idol with Maren Morris. Posting that her mom found her American Idol audition ticket from 2007. She didn’t make it past the first round cattle call…It feels like the equivalent of your mom saving your 10th place trophy. They passed on me in 5 seconds. Sometimes the long road pays off.

Somebody in Jason Aldean’s hometown of Macon, Georgia painted a mural of his face on the side of a store, and it’s not good. His face is crooked, and his teeth are messed up. The mural is called Macon Greatest, and it has other hometown heroes, like Otis Redding. Jason hasn’t commented. And Reba McEntire is trying to reboot her TV show “Reba“. It ran from 2001 to 2007 on the CW.

Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
