History of The Three Stooges (Part V: One Era Ends and Another Resumes - 1946-1948)
In Part IV of this series, the Three Stooges' wartime period was detailed; the years that saw a number of short films that referenced the Second World War, some of which were quite controversial. However, by 1945, the Stooges would be dealt quite a blow. Entering that period, Curly Howard's performance was declining, slowly. By 1940, Curly had put on a lot of weight and lived it up a lot; partying, drinking, overeating. Moe, from what I've learned in various stories, had to keep a watchful eye on Curly, pretty much taking the role of a second father rather than an older brother.

Simpsons Review: "The Way We Was"
I've watched The Simpsons for 35 years, and so many attributes about the show fascinate me to no end. One of the many things I do love about the series is the flashback episodes, and the series wasted no time taking a look back at the past of Marge and Homer Simpson. Of course, there is one quite hilarious attribute: because the characters never age, backstories change. And because the show's been on for nearly four decades, the backstories have undergone so many changes. As I said, the series wasted no time going back in time; it only took the second season to turn back the clock--all the way back to 1974.

The Dark Mystery Behind Regular Show Lost Tapes Online
There is something deeply unsettling about finding a piece of childhood media that feels wrong. A familiar cartoon suddenly carries a darker mood. A cheerful scene feels empty. A character sounds strange. For many fans of the animated series Regular Show, this feeling became connected to one phrase that spread across forums, social media pages, and late-night YouTube searches: regular show lost tapes.

But the first one to burn Hart consisted of a seven-time Super Bowl winner named Tom Brady.
