Kelloggs Rice Krispies: Classic television commercial
Kelloggs Rice Krispies Commercial: A trip down memory lane "No more Rice Krispies, w'eve run out of Rice Krispies." "My tears will not stop, until I hear snap, crackle pop." These words being sung to the tune of tenor aria "Vesti la giubba" from the opera Pagliacci are etched in the minds of those who recall the popular 1960s television commercial. Actor Johnny Haymer who portrayed Staff Seargent Zelmo Zale on M*A*S*H is the man with the operatic voice. On the long-running television series, Zale was an electrician and knew how to get the camp generator up and running after it went out. He also could get the jukebox pump out more tunes and had a long-standing feud with Corporal Maxwell Q Klinger (Jamie Farr).

Stymie Beard: Our Gang and The Little Rascals
The Little Rascals and Our Gang were films television comedies with the same children that began around 1922. I watched a marathon last night on the Tubi streaming service and I laughed until I cried for 2 hours. These children were talented, worked well together, and had excellent comedic timing. Even the dog Pete acted on cue which brought back memories of my childhood where my animals and the neighborhood dogs were just like family.

Spider-Man 4, 5 & 6 Already Have A Huge Peter Parker Problem
Despite the excitement that met the announcement of a new Spider-Man trilogy following No Way Home, there's already a pretty glaring problem for Tom Holland's Peter Parker. Thanks to the explosive, shocking Spider-Man: Far From Home ending, Parker's identity was revealed to the world by JK Simmons' returning J Jonah Jameson thanks to Mysterio's deception, which is clearly going to turn Spider-Man's world upside down. But of more concern to old school Spider-Man fans may be Far From Home's change to The Daily Bugle and the now impossible path to Peter Parker's usual post-education future.
