Someone should have told him to loosen up his bandana a little bit.

I just saw that cup in a movie on a plane this Thursday and thought about how long they have been in existence and how ubiquitous they are in NYC.... I must be psychedelic

Helen Wagner, who played Nancy Hughes on As the World Turns for 54 years. She holds the Guinness World Record for playing the same role on television for the longest amount of time. The show was cancelled and will be ending this September. It would have been amazing for her to have been on the last show.

Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)
Maybe I'll appreciate some of the current broadcasters more when they're older/I'm older, but there just aren't many of the old school guys left out there. The guys that could sit down and tell you about watching guys like Joe DiMaggio play, or catching a game at Ebbets Field.
They truly just don't make em like they used to.

With so much television, we don't need to go an entire west coast road trip only following by radio...not even all of the home games were televised back when I was a young fan so you got the whole game via radio...and we liked it!

Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)
Unfortunately, one of the down sides of TV and internet video broadcasting is the lack of "old school" style broadcasters.
One of the greatest compliments a play-by-play announcer can get is "You paint a great picture." The greats like Harwell, Scully, Barber et al were/are able to do that effortlessly.
Today's announcers are good, but they will never rise to the level of the icons of the radio era.

Harwell, Bob Prince and for those of us from Chicago, Jack Brickhouse--Hey Hey. These guys and many others were part of the family. My father routinely referred to Jack as "Brickhead." I'm guessing the old man wasn't the only one.
The great Bill Stern showed up on the Tonight show once to rebut Carson's assertion that he had passed away. He told a story about doing a coast to coast network hookup of a Michigan football game, and some press box wag put the "men's room" sign on the door to his box. And he spent much of the rest of the afternoon periodically yelling "down the hall," to folks knocking on the door and rattling the knob.
