Folks, it’s a sad time in tv land.  tomorrow night will mark the last appearance of the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

“I am a lawyer, I own a bowling alley. Two separate things.”
that’s just one of many brilliant quotes from what i truly believe to be one of the best(and horribly underrated) tv series in boob tube history.  for those unaware, i’m referring to a show that ran on nbc from 2000-2004… Ed.
in a nutshell, here’s [...]

For those unaware, my nephew has autism and so this cause hits pretty close to [...]
