Mr. Bill is the clay figurine star of a series of short subjects shown from 1976 to 1980 on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The "Mr. Bill Show" was a parody of children's shows. Mr. Bill got its start when Walter Williams sent SNL a Super-8 reel featuring the character in response to the show's request for home movies. Williams became a full-time writer for the show in 1978, writing over twenty skits based on Mr. Bill. Each Mr. Bill episode would start innocently enough, but would quickly turn dangerous for Mr. Bill. A ...

Cuyahoga Falls was formed in 1812[1] near the junction of what was then Northampton, Stow, Tallmadge, and Portage townships. The focus was the series of Cuyahoga River waterfalls that provided power for manufacturing. In 1812 Kelsey and Wilcox built a dam on the Cuyahoga River at a place where a railroad bridge crossed it in 1876. They then built a flour mill, an oil mill, and a saw mill. This led to the construction of a number of houses. This ...

The teens of the MTV Generation who grew up in the 1990s have also been referred to as the Doom Generation, picked up from Gregg Araki's The Doom Generation (1995) and due to the popularity of the 1993 computer game Doom. The meaning also represents the overall feeling of the generation, having been children through most of the revolutionary changes that occured to Generation X, not to mention living their childhood through the 1980s they had no sense of direction or sentiment of belonging, thus encapsulating an entire gene ...

A Confederacy of Dunces - Ignatius J. Reilly. Ignatius is something of a modern Don Quixote — eccentric and creative, sometimes to the point of delusion. He looks for jobs requiring little or no work, to further his desire to achieve greatness. He disdains modern civilization, and particularly pop culture, which in a perverse twist, becomes his obsession, merely to mock its inanity and express his outrage with its lack of "theology" and "geometry." He prefers the scholastic philosophy of the Middle Ages, especially that of Boethius. See also:

After ten episodes of the sixth season, All That went on a production hiatus. In its place, came a string of "Best of..." compilation episodes for the rest of the season. What happened was that for whatever the reasons, several writers and producers, who apparently had originally desired to end it after Season 6, left the show. In addition, a few of the cast members (namely Amanda Bynes, Josh Server, Danny Tamberelli, and Christy Knowings) had reportedly w ...

In a small change from the original sketches, daughter Connie in the film speaks in a typical American accent and acts like a typical American teen, having grown up on Earth. In the original sketches, Connie had the same alien accent and mannerisms as her parents. To date, Coneheads holds the record for having the most Saturday Night Live alums in a single film.

MacDonald joined the cast of NBC's popular Saturday Night Live (SNL) program in 1993, where he occasionally did impressions of Larry King, Burt Reynolds, David Letterman, Bob Dole and others. However, his most notable position on SNL was his three-year stint as anchor of Weekend Update (WU), which is regarded by many fans as perhaps the best in the segment's history. Chevy Chase, the first anchor of WU, has noted that MacDonald is the only anchor since Chevy's tenure to have "done it right." His deadpan sty ...
