I know exactly how you feel, Jay. I figure one way to telling you're really gettin' old is when they remake films you remember as an adult, i.e. The Karate Kid, etc. Thank God they have at least enough respect not to produce "Casablanca's Back " or "L egal Citize n Kane"...

I think Jojo did an episode with wife #3 (Robin Hartl). Dean is up to...wife #5. Is the guy Mormon or something? > The hour of TV watching made me feel old.

What I noticed is that they went from "simple" projects to these huge grandiose plans. HT used to do 10 or so projects a season (stripping furniture, building a deck (2 or 3 eps)) then they started building million dollar cottages. TOH went down the same path. I used to wonder if that was any help to the regular joe but how many ways/times can you talk about sanding & refinishing your hardwood floors. -- QWIZX.com - A little bit of everything -- TV or Not TV ....
