Has anyone ever noticed that ever generation, we had a TV father that almost everyone looked up to or wanted as their father? During the 50s, it was Robert Young on Father Knows Best, and during the 60s, we had kids looking forward to the advice of Ward Cleaver. In the 70s, we all wanted Mike and Carol Brady as parents and then Howard and Marion Cunningham for the 80s. In the 90s, Cliff Huxtable was the lenient father we liked, but who should be the father for the Millenium? Bill Engvall from The Bill Engvall Show on TBS or Robby Ray with the pop star daughter on Disney Channel. Personally, I think I'm going to forever look back on Andy Taylor, Herman Munster and Rob Petrie

Of all the gadgetry that fascinated me the most on Star Trek, I was impressed the most out of the holo-deck. Picard could go in there and live life as a Forties gumshoe. Data could become Sherlock Holmes, and Geordi could create places for dates. With virtual reality increasing in scope, I wonder how soon we'll be able to create a chamber in the basement of our homes where we could no longer just watch TV, but scan whole TV shows and movies to enter them and interact with the plots. Heck, with my creativity, I could mix and combine TV series or make my own. (I always wanted to see a remake of Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman ( 1958 ) with either Reese Witherspoon or Kate Winslet to make up for the disaster with Darryl Hannah.) Could you imagine having a holo-deck that could scan and extrapulate life-size holograms of your favorite TV shows to meet and interact with. To create and alter facts in those simulations for your own enjoyment or amusement. Here's another top ten list of my top destinations:

The Munsters - I'd replace Pat Priest with Beverly Owen, the original Marilyn, and interact with the characters the way the series was supposed to be!

Dark Shadows - I'd pass myself off as another cousin from England and trully explore every inch of the estate, and maybe fool around with Carolyn, the hot blonde daughter

Bewitched - I'd replace Darren with myself and be married to Samantha for a change. Maybe tell off and frustrate Endora too.

Lost - I'd save Charlie, Boone, Libby and Shannon from their fates then kick Ben into the pit of the Sarlacc I've merged into the simulation. Let Locke explain that thing!

Hogan's Heroes - I'd pass myself off as another POW or a Nazi major trying to defect to the allies. Maybe even play bets based on my knowledge of WW2.

CSI - I'd love to be part of an investigation, maybe even fool around with Katherine or Sara

Sabrina The Teenage Witch - I'd replace Harvey with myself and add some more students from That 70s Show and elsewhere

That 70s Show - Eric and Hyde would be my best friends, I'd recast Donna with another actress (someone hotter), beat up Kelso a lot and fool around with Jackie

The Andy Griffith Show - I'd explore Mayberry and all its streets, move into the Rimshaw House, hang out with Andy and Barney, keep Opie at six years old and fool around with Ellie Walker

Star Trek: The Next Generation - I'd play Q and face them off against Darth Vader and the Empire. I'd also play a buddy of Geordi and fool around with Dr. Crusher.

If anyone was ever truly telepathic and looked into my head, it'd be like watching a television constantly changing channels. I've always got people talking or in adventures, rehashes of TV shows, TV characters from different TV shows meeting, movies I'd like to see, my favorite actresses in movies I want them to do. One "mental" movie I have stars Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. Every time I hear their respective songs, "Stronger" or "Fighter," I get a mental image of them as comic book characters beating the crap out of each other. (Heck, I got comic book parodies of those songs at amiright.com!) Britney is "Sky-Girl," a "Super-Girl"-type heroine in blue and red with an "S" across her boobs. She can fly, she has heat-vision and she is incredibly strong. Christina is "Psychopath," her arch nemesis in a skin tight black bodysuit who's fast, merciless and evil. She's just as strong as "Sky-Girl" and can climb walls like "Spider-Man" and pop claws out like "Wolverine." It seems at some time in the past, the two foster sisters were friends, but Britney accidentally killed Christina's brother and they've been fighting ever since. It was purely an accident, but Christina doesn't care, she's going to kill "Sky-Girl" at any cost and replace her. Their supporting characters and relatives are based on other pop stars from Madonna and Cyndi Lauper to Kelly Clarkson and Jessica Simpson. Mentally picturing the two pop princesses trash a range of fifteen New York City blocks is an image I wish I could turn into the big screen along with any of the other hundred movies or so playing in my head.

I best recall Joi from her time as the wife of Lester Flatt on "The Beverly Hillbillies." They weren't really married, but the humor was good enough that they could have had their own series. Blonde, statuesque with with the most unbelievable...

Andrew Zimmern is my fave kind of TV host - a guy who loves his job, has a passion for it and can joke about it. Amiable, humorous and versatile, he's equal parts Chef Emeril, Indiana Jones and Curly Howard of the Three Stooges. He's the guy you'd...

I have a little love affair with Alanna. Not only is she cute and funny, but I never know when or where she is going to pop up. I knew her first as the original and best effervescent lab assistant Josie on "Beakman's World," but she's gone on on...

I love Meighan Desmond. She was funny, talented and sexy as hell. I doubt very very characters could have played Discord like she did. She gave the character a venomous approach and a bit of comical edge with a dash of that spoiled, bratty sister...

I've been watching Kim on the Suite Life for a while now. She plays a very good mom, and she has an excellant singing voice. She's also a very attractive woman, but I preferred her blonde; she seems to have gone brunette now. I haven't seen her in...
