...you're really old. Tony Dow turns sixty one today. Frightening.

What's even more so is that some of my younger readers may have no idea what this post is about.

Oh man.... first I need reading glasses and now this. I feel old.

He was a director of several episodes of Babylon 5. Beyond that he did nothing of any real consequence, so far as I can tell. Still, his B-5 directing was more than satisfactory.

Beyond that he did nothing of any real consequence, so far as I can tell.

See, that's just what I mean.

Rand, the other day I was flipping around on the local radio, and heard the phrase ". . .and we'll get right back to our Flashback 90's Weekend after these messages. . ."

The only thing good about hearing that was realizing that it was surely also making some 22-year-old listeners pause for a moment, too.

I am too young - I had to google him.

(Born two weeks before Apollo 17)

Rand, I know who you're talking about, but I never saw the program.

I had the good fortune to grow up poor - in an era when "poor" didn't mean a microwave, a car, a computer, and 2 TVs instead of 4.

I hated it at the time, but since I grew up I've been eternally grateful we didn't have the electronic babysitter. We actually did stuff to entertain ourselves.

Shoot, I was born several months before Apollo 17 and I know who Tony Dow, and Jerry Mathers, are. I used to watch LITB in the afternoons back in the 80's before all that was on was Jerry Springer and all that other crap.

Whippersnapper. Get offa my lawn! [/Baby Boomer]

Who's Tony Dow?

I think he was one of the founders of the Dow Jones stock index. [/GenX]

I'm just happy to know I'm two weeks younger than Jane, so I can at least feel a bit younger.

Then most of you are too young to remember the joke about June Cleaver uttering the dirtiest phrase on Television. Who remembers?

I'm sure it has something to do with her son, "Beaver".

Excerpt from 'Leave it to Beaver: Beyond 2000'

Beaver: "Gee Wally, this denture poultice works great! I can eat these jelly beans with confidence just like the ad on the TV box says."

*Wally conks Beaver upside the head with his cane*

Wally: "Your such a goof Beave, those aren't jelly beans, those are my hemorrhoid suppositories."
